Games for the brain in new languages
This is my little games website where I wanted to create a non-cluttered look & feel as opposed to the many "crowded" Flash game portals. As of today the site is available in a couple of new languages (it uses content negotiation, so to see them all anywhere go to http://www.gamesforthebrain.com/all/ ): Japanese, French, Italian, and Russian. I paid a translation company a couple of 100 bucks for translating my UTF8 files (click2translate.com). Now the question remains: how on earth am I gonna let e.g. Japanese users know about this site? What is the equivalent of Boing Boing, Fark etc. where you can submit links, but in Japan (or Russia?). (I'm "stuck" in Germany, and the German and English web zone.)

Lost Elf - Search Every Map for Great Justice
This website I just finished up lets you get driving directions from not one, but five driving-directions-websites all at once. You can think of it as kind of like a search engine aggregator for driving directions. It's useful to find the fastest route, or just compare the map websites to see which has the best features. Feedback is much encouraged of course.

Spooky Moon
I love all things spooky, and am a Halloween enthusiast. Thus far, I haven't found a site that quite caters to my taste, and delivers consistently, year-round. I've been gathering material of this nature for years. Spooky Moon will be its repository. For those who appreciate a daily creep-out.

Smallist: Better living through Smallistry
My new blog is about all things small: Small products, tips on how to live more efficiently, and never biting off more than you can chew. It's a bigger topic than you might think: in the last two weeks I've covered (or lightly dusted, really) 10 watt linux boxes, small sailboats, portion control, nanofiction, and electric cars. And there's a lot more small out there. Read the first post for a more in-depth description.

Manifests - an album from Josh Millard
I recorded an album in February (as did a few other folks), and I've put together a site to house it. There are song pages with lyrics and background (e.g.); I've scanned my notebook for the month and provided some how-I-work commentary; and there are some drawings to accompany the whole thing as well. The album is available to for listening and download from the site. Please tell all of your powerful and influential music-industry friends.

Bike Stickers
I made some bike stickers, then a few more, then a few more. I'll probably keep making some. Includes geek-humor stickers. Suggestions welcome.

AppleTV Wiki
I was asked by wetpaint.com (a "wiki for the rest of us" company in Seattle) to make a wiki about the AppleTV. I've populated it with content and now I'm looking for people who have things to add. Including "I won't buy an AppleTV until _____" type discussions. I'd also be thrilled if people could tell me what sorts of things I should be featuring that you don't already see on the site. Thanks!

Truly Awful Stuff
Brett and I present the insanely tacky clocks, knick knacks and art we've tortured each other with over the last few years along with reader contributions.
Highlights include: the anatomically correct pegacorn clock, teenage Jesus and the toy molotov cocktail, for kids!

Rumours
is a comic I made. Adapted from a story by Jim Walsh (which originally appeared in this book of revisionist rock crit ), it's a time-honored tale of a man who decides to improve the state of music by shooting the member of Fleetwood Mac in the head.

Save Eastern Market
When fire gutted the 130 year-old Eastern Market building overnight Sunday night, most everyone in Washington, DC's Capitol Hill began mourning the loss of the neighborhood's centerpiece. After the mourning, though, began a bunch of ideas on how to help keep informed and even participate in the rebuilding process, and from that, my wife and I started Save Eastern Market.

map of Greene & Greene homes
Using the social-mapping tool Platial, I've created this map of all (I think!) currently-existing Greene & Greene homes. There are a few civil structures - walls, bridges, memorials - that I've yet to add, and eventually I'll include a layer for destroyed/demolished structures as well. This map is to accompany my primary hobby, Hewn & Hammered (http://www.hewnandhammered.com), and I'll eventually make maps showing all structures by Frank Lloyd Wright, Maybeck, Morris and other important architects in the Arts & Crafts movement and its various children.

Playing Here
Local live music search, maps, feeds, etc. A while back I got tired of visiting my friends' websites to find out when and where their bands were playing. I wrote some scripts to check band sites and notify me of new shows near me. Those scripts became Playing Here.

Hike Database
A wiki-based project I started a few months ago to create a free, complete hiking and backpacking guide to trails all over the world. With Google maps directions to trailheads, hike descriptions, and links to weather forecasts, plan hikes in places like the Bay Area, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, and the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail near Pittsburgh. We'd love new contributors, so if you can add a description of a park or hike, know coordinates to a mountain summit or trailhead, or just fix our typos, come help us out.
