We have 2 admins that post weather related questions, and users vote on which will option will be correct. monthly totals and question voter break downs, etc. I work for a weather company so this is a small, very niche website. But a fun way to get my hands dirty in Rails.

#63I'm in the preliminary research stages of building a series of stock tools that allow users to do arbitrary searches on the intarwebs and then correlate the data with historical price data on equities. I registered tinystocktools.com but nothing is up there yet as I'm just tinkering with what sort of free API's I have available to me at the moment before I start seriously building it. There will be social aspects to…

Installed node.js, the Express framework, and are now messing around in Jade templates. Also installed the mongodb driver via npm (node package manager), but have zero clue how to make a database and hooking it into my node app. Next step is to follow al…

#65* A robot that does gymnastics. http://fairlypre.posterous.com/robot-gymnastics
It's a final project for a class on computational control of nonlinear underactuated dynamical systems.

#70Dell Stage:
http://www.dell.com/us/p/stage/pd
It's very much a consumer-facing product, built on technology somewhere between a game engine and Flash.
edit: Also working on learning Google Go and OpenCL in my spare time, as well as recovering from a burnout phase and trying to get my programming mojo back.
