#2I'm working on an OpenFlow controller in my spare time. There's nothing too cool about it other than, it's written in Go and GPLv3 licensed. It's useable but I have a big update in the pipes. Once that update is done I should be able to port some existing OpenFlow applications to Go.

#3Working on a distributed document database. It's cool as it integrates a search and analytics engine, distributed file system and query language like SQL. Will be the first ever and will solve all database problems for the most part.

#4A real-time web interface for remotely scripting Android devices using TypeScript. It is cool because Android is great and TypeScript is great.

#5Just released a Q&A book about building community products. (I founded Forrst in 09.) Totally DIY effort, used ruby and the prawn gem to generate the PDF file. All questions were crowd sourced. Here's a discount if you're interested:

#6I'm working on software that assists in cancer diagnoses.
We apply a healthy serving of computer vision and a touch of machine learning to high resolution images (10Gpx) of cancer tissue.
Hopefully we'll be able to make diagnosis faster and more accurate, doing our small part to save lives.

#7I am working on multiple things at the moment, though with my first year of college, progress has been slow.. After challenging C and a multitude of "introduction to programming" classes, I got into CISP 401 (java), so in order to get ahead of the class, I wrote a toy interpreter in java (deemed KjuScript). It is extremely slow, but based off the ruby language with full OOP implementation. Also recently I have been working on something in C++ with a friend that converts sound to color (to teach my dad music (he really wants to learn) who lost most of his hearing at 20, and so my mother who was born deaf, may enjoy my concerts in real time)
There is a prototype of it in python located on my github account:

#8https://kouio.com - RSS reader we built to replace Google Reader.
It's cool because it's been an amazing ride keeping it nice and snappy in spite of an ever growing data set - over 50 million feed items retrieved so far and still growing :-)

#9http://pineapple.io - I think it's cool because I don't know of any centralized locations for development tutorials and tools. Reddit is filled with mostly jaded posts and HN is filled with lots of news. Mine is only tutorials, tools, and assets.
Here are some tags to start you off. I guarantee you will find hidden gems here :) http://pineapple.io/tags/all

Also drawn from kouio, a nice little library I've called Hot Redis.
We use it for working with local Python objects like lists, sets, queues and multisets, which are then backed by Redis.
