Using the same password for multiple email, e-commerce and social networking websites is risky, but the majority of web users still do it. This tool allows you to generate unique passwords for a bunch of popular websites in one step.

This simple JavaScript game allows you to evolve a small image simply by accepting or rejecting random images, allowing them to "reproduce" into a new generation, and then winnowing down that generation to the "fittest" (ie, closest to your desired outcome) individuals. In other words, without drawing, you can--simply by accepting and rejecting images--create an image that you imagine.

Metropho.rs is a geographic metaphor map that plots "X is the Y of Z" tweets by putting the "Y" label on the "X" location. Some nice coverage by the Atlantic Cities blog
here.

Powershop search engine for PC components (like motherboards, CPUs, etc). My basic plan was to create a tool like
diskcompare that would work for all types of components, as well as an attempt to come up with a modern HTML5 UI that would let you view and filter data the same way you would in a spreadsheet or database browser. Right now it works for CPUs, GPUs, RAM, Motherboards, Monitors, Hard drives (including SSDs), USB sticks (and flash cards), Monitors, Cases and Fans, as well as Laptops and Tablets.
The front-end was done
entirely in javascript (about 5k lines of JS before compression), and no HTML is generated server-side, instead plain HTML is sent and the javascript code requests JSON objects for everything else.

The Decision Tree Generator parses a YAML file and, if it's in the correct syntax, creates a series of questions and responses that can be displayed on a webpage. It doesn't require a login, and the tree you create is around until someone else overwrites it.

Tabminder is a Google Chrome extension I built to intercept distracted browsing and give me occasional reminders to get back to work. When I open a distracting tab on my blacklist, Tabminder starts counting down from a preset time limit. When time's up, it prompts me to close the distracting tab or restart the timer. It's just annoying enough to keep me focused but not so strict that I can't visit MetaFilter once in a while. It works well in combination with
StayFocusd to keep me from wasting my daily distraction quota.

Tweetchive is a little web hack I made to show your past tweets in various views. The primary view is a map, there are also views of pictures and text and links. It's not really a finished product, but it's useful enough I launched it.

I'm proud to announce my first iPhone App:
Gibberish Generator.
This app allows you to generate pseudo-random sentences from lists of verbs, nouns, and the like. Optionally, you can enable your contacts, to allow them to be used in the random fun.
The result can be tweeted or emailed to your friends. I can't imagine a more useful app than that. Perhaps I need a better imagination.

Several months ago I linked to my first crack at writing a Pac-Man clone in HTML5. Based on mefite suggestions and my own revision plan, I've completely reworked my original code. Play as Pac-Man, Ms., or Jr., and select from several mazes. Original sound and graphics "borrowed" from MAME emulation. Works best in Chrome and Firefox.

I wrote a little Graphing calculator in HTML5. You enter formulas as javascript code, and the my code evaluates them over and over again to generate an animated graph. You can change the color and width of the function graphs, the background color and add a 'fade effect', which can result in some cool visuals (examples:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
A
B ) and you can generate hyperlinks to anything you create (that's how I linked to the examples.)

For the last nine years I have taught
web development, with a sideline in 3D, while continuing to freelance. The product of
this AskMeFi question,
my blog contains lectures, lessons, tutorials, resources and practice quizzes for XHTML, PHP and CSS. Increasingly, I’m focusing my writing on
JavaScript,
CSS3 and
HTML5. I’ve just added the (very much beta) ability to sign up and leave comments, with many more features planned.
