I'm writing a local HTTP proxy that connects to a remote JAWs [1] server, so that users behind a proxy that blocks proxy requests can still get to an unfiltered Internet.

Entities that think they can censor the Internet amuse me.

Working on my awesome blogging software. Here's the gorgeous coming soon page: http://www.heyreverie.com . Email me if you're frustrated with Wordpress, Tumblr, Posterous, etc. and I'd love to have you test my site before I make it public.

I thought you were being sarcastic, but that is indeed gorgeous.

Trying to deal with hotel issues that come up at the 11th hour of negotiations for my 'Rails 3 on the Beach' event I am hosting in Jamaica in August.

Things never go as planned...I know computers can be difficult to deal with some times, but people are even more unpredictable.

Working on a JSON stream parser in AS3, reading data with flash.net.URLStream, for loading up GPS data progressively. The JSON for a ride like this ( http://ridewithgps.com/trips/2000 ) is about 300k, and I think it will look much cooler if it draws as it downloads.

This sounds very interesting. Will it be open source?

I'm going to see if I can make zlib a little faster with some SSE intrinsics.

Playing around with streaming video and Adobe Stratus, and contemplating making my own Chatroulette-like site.

Let me know how well it (doesn't) work: http://cam-mash.appspot.com/listen

Thank you! Took a lot of time and work. And the landing page is pure art, serves no purpose whatsoever. Still a lot of fun.
