Hello! I'm a programmer and sometimes maker of other curious objects, based in San Francisco. If you need to get in touch with me, use this. Yes, it's that simple! Do not phone unless I know you already.

I am currently on contract with the Wikimedia Usability Initiative, which is trying to make it easier for everybody to contribute to Wikipedia.

If you want to know more about me professionally, here's my resume.

And here's some of the other stuff I have done.

HaloWall, an art installation that made rainbows around your shadow. (2009)

Transit Heatmap, a very quick hack to help me figure out where I should live. (2008)

Crewed with Interpretive Arson for various fire art installations and events, particularly Dance Dance Immolation. (2007-present)

50 people see..., a set of images created with this program by melding tagged images on Flickr. (2005)

Lickr: The first AJAX interface for Flickr, done as a third-party extension. Now very obsolete, but the directions it suggested still aren't fully explored. (2005)

Google Draw, sample Perl code demonstrating how Google Maps draws paths. (2005)

ridcat - visualizing texts with a cloud of icons. You might prefer this interview to my boring writeup. (2004-2005)
