FarmNotebook
I built this for market farmers, but it's just as useful for backyard gardeners. Keep track of all the varieties you're growing, when you planted them, started them in the greenhouse (or windowsill), transplanted them, and harvested them, and all the while your public page is continually updated with your information. Photos, history of all the heirloom varieties you grow, and information about your garden or farm will be readily available for your visitors. To see how your friends could see your garden (or your customers could see your farm), take a look at this example page: example.farmnotebook.com -- it's free to try, and $25 a year after the first month.

MeFi Navigator
Mefi Navigator (annotated screenshot) is a handy GreaseMonkey script that makes navigating MetaFilter threads a bit easier. A picture tells a thousand words - look at the screenshot! Here's a description anyway: The main thing it does is to add a dropdown box (and forward and back arrows) next to each comment which allows you to go directly to the user's other comments in the thread. It marks comments from an admin or the original poster. Also, a little 'back to top' arrow is added to each comment. If you have any problems, email me at mefinavigator at googlemail dot com.

Tokyo-NYC.com : Everything Japanese in New York
This is a blog and directory of all things Japanese in the NYC area. This includes restaurants, bars, shops, services, cultural institutions and people. I know there are a bunch of cross cultural MeFites, and I'd love to get input, as it is a work in progress. The blog is functioning, but I am still gathering and entering data for the directory. I'm not really going to publicize it for about a month more, but you guys are special, so you get to see it before all the screws are tightened.

faster - a flickr game
Fastr is a game that uses flickr images. It loads ten images that all share a common tag, one by one, and you guess what the tag is. When you guess right, the tag will turn blue. Then you can watch the pictures until the next set begins. The faster you guess, the more points you get. The points are reset every five minutes.

Photo Quickies - tips, tricks & gotchas about photography.
I searched the web for a blog dedicated to learning about photography (rather than equipment news), and didn't really find any. So I started my own. On Photo Quickies, I'm blogging the neat tricks and lessons I've learned to share with other budding photographers or those in need of refreshment. Your tips are also definitely appreciated.

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.

RENotebook
Designed for real estate investors but also useful for the average home buyer, RENotebook is a place to organize notes, photos, documents, to-do lists, and contacts for multiple properties. It's got tagging and AJAX where useful, and lots of little extra features for the professional investor. I built it for my wife, but the demand from her colleagues has been so great that I've opened it up for the ubiquitous public beta. A few features are still under development, but it's largely fully-functional. All accounts are free for the moment, and even when it goes out of beta there will still be a free option.

The Road Online
This site is part of a project to gather ambient sounds (sounds that happen to be in an environment) from locations mentioned in Kerouac's "On the Road" in order to create a sonic portrait of the big cities, small towns, backwoods, deserts and mountains that Kerouac visited and wrote about.

Eye Level: The Smithsonian's First Blog
I wanted to let you know about a project I've been working on for about six months: Eye Level, the blog for the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM). It's one of just a few museums forging new ground with new media (and the Smithsonian's first blog!). Today's the official launch and I hope you'll check it out (and check in frequently). When the Smithsonian American Art Museum reopens its renovated historic main building in July 2006, it will be a showcase for American art that celebrates this nation's vision and creativity. SAAM's blog Eye Level is part of the museum's continuing effort to explore the stories central to the American experience and to search for what connects Americans today. Using the museum's collection as a touchstone, the conversation at Eye Level will center on the ways in which the nation's art connects to its history and culture. The discussion will extend beyond works at the Smithsonian American Art Museum to include other collections, exhibitions, and events. Eye Level presents an extraordinary collaboration among curators, conservators, historians, enthusiasts, critics, designers, and of course bloggers-all participants in the story of American art.

Breaking Up The Band
My wife and I produced a hand-bound zine a few months back called "Breaking Up the Band." It has interviews with a bunch of people all about the topic of their bands breaking up. It has an interesting mix of people. Some of the interviewees include Joe Jack Talcum from the Dead Milkmen, Ian Williams from Don Caballero and some other folks like George Tabb, Merle Allin and Jeff Lamm. It's an interesting little project we put together just to do something neat together.

Found MattR
I recently started collecting old postcards, and various other pieces of vintage paper - I decided these shouldn't be hidden, but held online for everyone to see...I'd love your feedback and suggestions for improvement. I hope you enjoy.

Parallel Wales
A photographic journey. An investigation into visual disconnect. The result of two weeks spent in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware in October 2005, visiting towns and villages with Welsh namesakes.
