http://i.imgur.com/quhpXWi.png NodeJS module to convert maps (shapefiles, geojson, topojson, or KML) into 3D models that are suitable for 3D printing. I've done a lot of 3D printing of map data before, but mostly using a pretty manual process to create the models. This auomates the whole thing. The posted image is population by census block group in the bay area. The raw data is shown on the left and my converted 3D…

This is cool. I work in GIS at a college and would be interested in seeing / hearing more about this... do you have a repo or a blog about it?

In early March I whipped up http://Listen2EDM.com because I was tired of searching for new music manually through SoundCloud, GrooveShark/Spotify still sort of required discovery, and Pandora just didn't fit my personal pain-point. While social media stats are meek, it's averaging about 32000 minutes played back each day (~400 uniques/day; ~2000/week). This has motivated me to develop it further and make the UI a bit…

This is perfect! If you need any testers, let me know.

I've spent a few hours today dealing with the fallout from the landing page we launched a few months ago. The landing page is for the cloud-based calculator app builder Calcapp Creator that we're hoping will replace Excel for a good many use cases. (Build a calculator app using the service and have it generate apps for iOS, Android, desktop computers and the web.)

I do customer development by responding to every sign-up and asking people their precise requirements. That invariably leads to people sending me obfuscated Excel calculators, which I then analyze. A couple of months ago, I spent a lot of time having lunch with businesses interested in our service, now I mostly interact with people that have found the landing page. That thankfully leaves more time for product development.

I spent the rest of the day playing with the browser-based app builder -- which is implemented using AngularJS -- and on modifying our custom compiler (which produces the apps) to accept JSON data from the app builder.

Not the usual faire for this site, or this thread but...

I was tinkering with using the solarized colour scheme in vim which led me onto hacking on mintty. I added some GUI controls for the 16 ANSI colours.

Just soldered this up. It's a small e-paper device with USB, buttons, a real-time clock, FRAM, an ATmega32u4, and a rechargeable battery.

I'm trying to get USB CDC virtual serial up right now, so that I can test and debug the rest of the board, but it's proving to be a bit difficult...

I've been teaching myself actionscript 3 so that I can build games - right now I'm working on a game where you run a pizza shop, because I used to like playing lemonade stand:

Today has mostly been spent working on getting some of my UI in order, although there's still a lot of work to do as I hammer down the design for that page.
