Nation chess! Once at least ten people from a country are logged in they'll matched up in a chess game with people from a different country. The entire nation (or at least those who are logged in) votes on each move. I'd love some help if anyone is interested. I'm still in the planning phase.

Einstein apparently said Nationalism is an infantile disease: the measles of mankind. Perhaps take the nation thing out as a base element, so you can have any group of people and it doesn't encourage this kind of politically divisive and outmoded thinking.

I'm building a Bittorrent Sync alternative aimed at ease of use to solve http://www.xkcd.com/949/ : https://github.com/rakoo/rakoshare

Just out of curiosity, why not just share it through Google Drive? 15 gb is more than enough even for bluray.

As a tech (and literary) nerd type with a little baby, I've been inspired to create two little fun community sites on the side:

http://parentsintech.com - Interviewing other, well, parents in tech! There are a lot of us, but very little online to discuss best practices and tips for getting the best of both worlds, start-up and parenthood.

http://quantifiedbabies.com - The latest news and profiling companies who are building up the "quantified baby" space. Basically quantified self nerds like me who want to do the same to those who can't yet quantify themselves, their young kids.

If you'd like to be interviewed/profiled on either site, drop me a line, morgan at parentsintech followed by a dot then a com hmmm I wonder if the spam filters can figure that one out hehe. Any other parents in tech out there? I'd love to meet you! We need to stick together ;)

Okay time to change someone's diaper!!! -morgan

We're working on a mobile app to help people spend bitcoin at Target & Starbucks- the successor of coinforcoffee.com. I'm focused mostly on the backend (Python / Django) while waiting for a designer friend to give us comps for the app.

I'm also working on a web app where folks can exchange their gift cards for bitcoin - cardforcoin.com. It's Python / Django / Angular.

I'm a big fan of the US Soccer team.

I built an Android app last year and continue to add content to it.
