Projects
Astdroid
Astdroid is a project I currently am hoping to fund through Kickstarter, check it out! All the information can be found on the Kickstarter page.
CheckoutCheckins
CheckoutCheckins.com
CheckoutCheckins is my first project using the foursquare API. With your foursquare login, CheckoutCheckins plots your recent checkin information, generates detailed statistics, and gives you an all around easy on the eyes way to visualize your foursquare data. In future versions, I hope to show you your friends’ checkins, enable sharing mechanisms, and integrate other location based APIs.
As of 6/28/2009 CheckoutCheckins had processed over 200,000 checkins and 60,000 venues.
WaveToTweeps
WaveToTweeps Google Wave Robot
A small test project I wrote for Google Wave. Currently on available in the Google Wave Developer Sandbox. Resolved @twitter formatted names and appends a badge to the wave. Work in progress. Open source code is available here at code.google.com.
TwitterEyes
(available to Firefox developers)
TwitterEyes Firefox Extension
TwitterEyes was an experiment I did with creating a Firefox extension. Albeit a great frustration and my least rewarding project it received a decent amount of attention. Though never being available to the public, it has been downloaded over 1,000 time to date.
TweetOrDie
A streaming twitter client
TweetOrDie (named after the domain previously registered for the 2008 election) was a weekend project I created to experiment with real time streaming using the Twitter API. With it you could choose a current trending topic or a custom phrase to stream. I lost interest in it after a period of time and you can find a better implementation at TwitterFall.com

TweetOrDie Election
TweetOrDie (the original) was the first idea that kicked off the beginning of a creative period for me. In the 2 months preceding the election I collected tweets referencing the words vote/votes/voted/voting and a candidate, McCain/Palin/Obama/Biden. There were alot of programming mistakes I made in creating the original TweetOrDie but I learned alot from them. Had the idea come 9 months ahead of the election instead of 2, I believe I would have had a hit product. Even so, I managed to collect over 100,000 Tweets in that period of time and display them graphically and geographically for vistors.
