I probably have about 20 domains registered that I've never done anything with. Eg wherewasthistaken.com - the idea being you have a photo, eg from your parents, and you don't know where the photo was taken. So you post it on the

A timer that's like a pomodoro timer but different. Wrote it for the iPad because I was interested in multi-touch gestures. Wrote a prototype in Java that works on the desktop which I use every day. I've just never gotten around t

It's one of the reasons I write reviews on goodreads of everything I read. That it may benefit someone else is a secondary consideration. It's mostly for me to think about what I've just read and also something to look back o
