https://forgetfail.com - I had some clients request database backups. So I built a service for it.

Just a suggestion - You may want to change You're to Your in the line - "Don't fail to forget to back up you're databases."

Actually, that's true but you need to change this to "Don't fail to remember to backup your databases" or something similar, right now you're telling me to make sure to forget it. :)

http://comparerc.com - Search Engine for the Remote Controlled hobby (quadrocopters, helicopters, planes, fpv, etc).

It's been a lot of fun because I get to play with ElasticSearch and responsive JS UIs. Still a long way to go before it is really useful - particularly categorical browsing and parametric serach.

I've also writing a weekly "In the Trenches" journal about the project: http://euphonious-intuition.com/category/comparerc/

http://localbeer.me - find locally brewed beer (only has partial data right now, don't panic if it doesn't find any beer near you).

This has basically been my playground for cool things - geolocation, facebook actions, rich snippets and more.
