#42Full time job: Largest IT Consulting firm around processing security paperwork for clearances
Startup from College: http://www.studentsherpas.com/ - Trying to help out college students. Adding a free job board for local jobs for local businesses
Side Project: Working on news aggregator where not all users are created equally. Basing it off a pseudo-physics system where users have mass and give stories/links inertia and they gain mass by passing interesting links.
Other things: Doing some coding for a fitness competition based startup. Currently working on a discussion system for them.
I have a few other ideas mulling around that I would love to have someone to work with.

#43Now for something completely different...
I've been working on a global model of epidemic spreading for about a year now (the project was actually started about 3 years ago). The idea is to be able to forecast the progression of the disease across the globe as in where it will hit next, how many cases, there will be, the efficacy of possible governmental interventions, etc... (think weather forecast for disease spreading)
Swine flu came around just when we had finished testing a more detailed traveling model. It's been holding up pretty well so far!

#45I quit my job a month ago for my second crack at bootstrapping a business: http://www.shirtstastegood.com I'm in nyc and I would love to hear any feedback! Thanks.
Those are pretty good! I can definitely see the appeal (which probably means I spend way too much time online). How tough is the online t-shirt market? It seems like every time something goes even remotely viral, everyone and their dog tries to sell t-shirts. Do you even see random websites and opportunists as real competition (do they actually sell much?), or does your competition consist mainly of the other large t…
Thanks! There are a ton of t-shirts out there made from viral videos, but they are really scattered throughout the net. The biggest provider would be zazzle, but the designs are generally not created by graphic designers. We want to become the definitive place to look for high quality youtube inspired t-shirts.

#46Most recently http://www.pdfamigo.com which lets you create PDF forms online. In fact I asked for and got feedback right here just yesterday.

#47As has been for a while, my primary personal activity is developing the x264 video encoder, for fun and for profit. I work on ffmpeg as well from time to time.
Some current commercial activities:
Working on optimizing CoreAVC video decoder for CoreCodec.
Working (9-5) at Facebook, primarily on video and photo-related stuff.
Working on the encoding backend for ShowReelPlayer.

#48I just launched the online version of Bingo Card Creator and am busy iterating as fast as I possibly can before the school year starts. This weekend I added breadcrumb navigation to the main workflow, put in spinners for some of the AJAX interactions, built in some more analytics into the backend, and finished the Mailchimp integration.
Next (workable) weekend: finish QA on Windows version 3.0 of the desktop app, and get it in the hands of Mac testers.

#49I'm trying to develop my own mobile device. Going to be fun. Intel Atom 1.6ghz, Ubuntu-based, hopefully some kind of 5" capitative touch, software written in Qt/C++ (for lack of a better framework/X drawing option). http://avecora.com Also working with hnuser://jasonlbaptiste on Ramamia (beta), which lets you keep in touch with your family. http://ramamia.com -- as well as status updates for sports games at http://ti…
Lastly, working to study/improve SAT/ACT/SATIIs/my abysmal GPA so I can actually get into a decent college come this fall... Enjoy having no time for your personal projects and instead having to do mindless "introduction to cutting-and-pasting java 1.1".
Even if his "decent college" has such a class, and he can't pass out of it, I can't imagine that one intro class would take up that much time.

#50I'm working on rebooting my LLC for web development and training. I'm also working on a few application ideas.
I've really begun working on my blog again in earnest, unfortunately though I have had a tough time choosing technology based topics to write about. We'll see though.
