Things that are too old for my resume or portfolio, but still part of my story.
Writing
- Exquisite Computing (Wired magazine, 1999) — Review of Squeak, which is still going strong 20+ years later
- Prometheus Hardbound (Wired, 1999) — Review of Rescuing Prometheus, a book about big projects from ARPANET to the Big Dig
- Powering Inferno (Web Review, 1997) — Review of the Inferno operating system, which is still around
- The Elephants of Style (Web Review, 1997) — early coverage of Cascading Style Sheets
- Juicing Java (Web Review, 1997) — Juice, a Java wannabe
Web projects
- purportal.com (retired circa 2014)— An anti-scam resource site, featuring a searchable database of 10,000+ scam email messages.
- toolbot.com (retired circa 2007) — A collection of single-purpose utilities with innovative features: Google AdSense preview; bookmarkable, multi-vendor package tracking; link-shortening with anti-spoofing features; mapping via public domain imagery.
- Ersatz Info-Rama — One of the first websites I created. Amazingly, still online at the same address after 25 years (of course, most of the stuff it links to is gone).
TRS-80 arcade-style games
I wrote these in the early-mid '80s and sold them by mail. Thanks to Javascript emulation you can play them in your browser!
