AggregateData
Hello everyone. I just finished my newest site - AggregateData. Quick blurb below. AggregateData is a new site that let you to take and create surveys. It utilizes AJAX-based "sliders" so survey takers can choose anywhere along a spectrum of opinion. You can ask anything: questions can be text, images, or anything HTML-compatible. Ask the important questions: Pirates versus Ninjas. The Most Influential Tech Companies. Elections 2008. You can also create "clusters" of sliders, and find correlations in user input. Urban versus Rural? Internet Browser? Response over time? It's all here. And if you need more analysis, you can export your data for use in more advanced statistical packages.

Baby!
It is with great pleasure that I announce the follow up to this Ask Metafilter question from nine months ago (the original question was deleted, link goes to archival photo of the thread). Announcing the latest generation of Jonson!! This release features no Y chromosome, but is highly feature rich in terms of adorableness & comes factory loaded with good baby smell.

Smokers Brokers
Allows smokers to quit smoking by investing the money that they would have spent on cigarettes into well-regarded mutual funds on a pack-by-pack basis. After a period of one year, clients are able to withdraw a substantial amount of money that they otherwise would have burned away.

Circumventing Web Censorship with Infranet
An increasing number of countries and companies routinely block or monitor access to parts of the Internet. To counteract these measures, we have built Infranet, a system that enables clients to surreptitiously retrieve sensitive content via cooperating Web servers distributed across the global Internet. These Infranet servers provide clients access to censored sites while continuing to host normal uncensored content. Infranet uses a tunnel protocol that provides a covert communication channel between its clients and servers, modulated over standard HTTP transactions that resemble innocuous Web browsing. In the upstream direction, Infranet clients send covert messages to Infranet servers by associating meaning to the sequence of HTTP requests being made. In the downstream direction, Infranet servers return content by hiding censored data in uncensored images using steganographic techniques. We are searching for developers to help us maintain and deploy this service on a topologically and geographically diverse set of nodes. We would also like to explore creative techniques for software distribution.
