Fundraising for NewsCred! It's actually fun and not as depressing as all the blog posts make it out to be.

I agree. So many free breakfasts, lunches, dinners, beers and even paintball too. All while meeting some very intelligent people.

paintball?

Damn, people are still commenting here and I forgot to mention the non-commercial stuff I'm doing. It all lives at http://greaterscope.net. I'm taking a stab at:

* Creating a foreign key based ORM for PHP5 * Creating a PHP5 database abstraction layer that's easier to use than PDO or the alternatives * An abstraction layer for html forms that generates, validates and even supports deeply nested "arrays of fields" * A console terminal multiplexer (GNU screen, but split-screen) in C for Linux

Disclaimer: There are existing projects similar to many of the above, but I'm striving to make my APIs cleaner, code readable and more concise. Plus I enjoy learning by doing.

I'm also extremely interested in wireless mesh ... anyone working on that?

It's a travel guide for people who love science and technology. It contains 128 places where you can see really great bits of science or technology history, and it explains the science behind the place.

Sounds neat! I'll look for it.

http://theperceptron.com - astute music recommendations And a site where you create your audio autobiography by uploading mp3s. Hello, RIAA.

typed in "frank sinatra" and got, among others: queen, bob dylan, and coldplay. one issue with music recommendation is how people (subjective creatures!) usually demonstrate low-tolerance for "bad" recommendations. nevertheless, i love your vibe.

Yep, that is a stinker.

I'm trying to skew the site towards unusualness and away from genres. Thus, the ways I link artists can produce some weirdness like the above. However, users can give feedback to help reduce the insanity quotient.

Thanks very much for the feedback.
