#362• iOS app using Multipeer Connectivity Framework for personal medical information communication
• A healthcare social network
• Curriculum for my child and I to learn programming together - without spending all the time staring at screens. Using drawings, machinery, logic problems and so on.
• An online clearinghouse for running in Boston., Then D.C.
• Web back-end for tracking my $$ balances from SMS/email expense itemization: I send an email for an expense, it sends back my new balance.

#363I am creating what the next DIY hangout place should be: http://www.wisrr.com/
Basically you can say it's a child of Pinterest and DIY Message Board. If you ask question on how to fix your house, you know people want to see the pic of your mess.
Mobile app coming.

#364A fashion finder for Google Glass! Public beta that you can sideload available here:
https://acemoda.com/
Still a long road to walk polishing it and getting it into the official My Glass console, though.

#365I'm working on the Matrix. http://matrix.ai/ Can't say much than this at the moment though.

#366I have been wrestling with a solution to help wage and part time workers find work in short distances and avoid unnecessary commuting costs. This is especially true since the type of jobs these people do can be produced and consumed by almost everyone. A beta webapp is here http://1milejobs.com. We will be coming up with mobile versions later.

#367A ruby gem that takes an RGB triplet and gives you a color name. Been using the XKCD Color Survey dataset ( http://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/ ) to find mappings for the color space to names. It has been a pretty interesting little project. Color is a pretty interesting topic.
Hmm... Just nearest color in the CILAB colorspace? Or what? Color is fascinating, I agree. Or rather the human perception thereof. Same with sound.
I have been experimenting with a bunch of different ways of do things, but Lab nearest neighbor is one of the ones that has been working well.
I think that the gem will have a bunch of different options so you can choose and play with different methods of doing it.

#368I'm working on PhoneCard, a service to make cheap international phone calls without requiring a data connection. You enter the phone number in the webapp and it calls you. Next time you're using poor hotel wifi or you're frustrated with skype (e.g. multiple disconnects per hour), try PhoneCard for a high-quality call. PhoneCard can call most places in the world, and in some countries you can also purchase incoming nu…
That frustration was exactly me this past week! WiFi was terrible and even the hotel phone didn't work. Sounds cool :)

#369I'm working on my first consumer hardware project - an external Bluetooth camera flash for iPhone: https://wantnova.com . The hardware is now shipping and now I'm working on improving the iOS app, which I've made open source: https://github.com/nova-device/nova-ios-app
Wow, this is an awesome idea. Very nice site and product, would buy in a heartbeat. Guys, this needs to get on the frontpage now!

How would you say this compares to a "virtual calling card" service like KeepCalling.com? (Dial a local KC number, enter your pin, and then dial your desired phone number in the US or wherever.)
Actually it looks fairly similar! PhoneCard has multi-ring on incoming calls which I don't see there, but I didn't investigate deeply. How is the call quality?
