Here are a few of the things I've been working on lately:

Websites

» A Name That Tune guessing game. There's also a TV Theme Song Edition.
» A Flash-based graphing application for cumulative metrics in a persistent database. It allows pie, line, and bar charts, as well as project management timelines.
» An online game in which you have to guess which of three Wikipedia articles is the longest.
» Guess the movie based on its IMDB plot keywords.
» An automated service using the Twitter API that enables a "watchlist" of words to follow and an introductory message for new followers.
» A voting application for maintaining an ongoing ranking through one-on-one comparisons (currently populated with very silly data submitted by friends).
» A group goal tracker (created to help administer a long-term bet).
» A series of European travelogues.

Misc.

» How to export your Google search history.
» Change in baseball fielding percentage during the live ball era (1920-present).
» A map of hate groups by state (compare to library visits).
» A scatterplot of earmark spending in California by county.
» Words in country song titles, via Wordle and the Billboard API.
» Congestive heart failure in the hip-hop community.
» Charts of Twitter status update lengths and emoticon frequencies.
» An area chart of presidential pardons in the 20th century.
» A four-quadrant scatterplot proving that no one can enjoy both trance music AND The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air unironically.
» Some strange Google Suggest results.
» A prototype for a cloud-style to do list with relative text sizing (based on WP-Cumulus).
» Quite possibly the most specific thing I've ever made: a Greasemonkey script to conceal character death spoilers on IMDB from people in the middle of watching The Wire.
» A histogram of spelling variations on the word "Khan."
» A paper I wrote several years ago about Pac-Man.
