I'm working on a series of tutorials that teach web designers how to take their skills to the iPhone and iPad and start building native iOS apps. Each tutorial will go through the full process of designing one screen of a fictional app in Photoshop and then taking that mockup and building the interface using UIKit. Both the PSD and Xcode projects will be included and each tutorial will cost less than most computer books.

Building / re-building in-house pages for a company, for which I'm making a lot of entertaining utility code with APIs as simple as I can manage, which I'm finding is woefully scarce in the .NET world. Studying AI for my capstone essay. Learning on the side. Trying to figure out where the f&#@^ money goes.

I went back to grad school this fall, so I'm working on programming assignments, getting ready for midterms coming up, and making progress on an Eclipse plugin for my lab. It's a great mix of work in C++, Lisp, Java, Soar, and soon Prolog, but it's keeping me busy enough that I've put off side projects for now.

Improvements to my app http://TheWikiGame.com , making more "game types" like "Speed Race", "Least Clicks", "5 Clicks to Jesus", etc. After that, iPhone/Android apps for the game.

This is so great! My siblings and I invented "5 Clicks to Jesus" (as I'm sure many have) during some drunken family gatherings over the past two years. I had been vowing to sit down and code it when I got some free time, but you just saved me the trouble. Hats off!

PS Have you ever thought about analyzing the wikipedia graph to make the game more interactive? (I study combinatorics.) I thought it would be fun to have the game give you feedback ("Warmer! Colder!") as you muddle through.

My employment isn't worth mentioning.

A minesweeper implementation for Emacs: https://bitbucket.org/zck/minesweeper.el . If anyone tries it, please let me know what you think.

Also, I'm working on learning unicycling, juggling, becoming ambidextrous, and finding a project to hack on next.
