Play“…but I don't wanna go outside!”

I'm currently working on a personal organization web app called ClutterApp.

In ClutterApp, all content is added to the user's own personal “Pile”, which is one giant deeply nested list. This can be "scoped into" to get at the information needed. Each item in these lists can have check boxes, priorities, labels, links, dates/times, images, videos, etc attached to it, then be sorted, filtered, and shared based on the needs of each Pile. I'm targeting both desktop and mobile platforms; and have some unique design goals for the app: it uses CSS3 and HTML5 heavily, because I can.

Ecocide

Recently, I worked on an indie game called Ecocide using the Unity game engine.

The group I'm working with to build the game, Nectar Games, is shooting for a playable demo by the time a bunch of indie game contests are due this Fall (depending on the contest, this means late September to early November). Once the game is to a finished state, it will be playable completely free on the web and I'll probably be releasing a bunch of the source code under an open-source license.

The game itself can be summed up as such:

Ecocide is a top down, turn based, strategy war game (think Worms meets Settlers of Catan). Hurl acidic spores and other weaponry against your opponents as you gather resources and protect your network of buildings. There can be only one.

Although Ecocide isn't ready for public consumption yet, a big part of its development is the NEvent and NState libraries, which are available on GitHub.

I recently launched a tag-enhancing tool for the Delicious bookmarking service: DeliTag

It's based on the principle that tags should have contextual and hierarchical classification, and that both are easily added by just adding a couple special operators to the existing tagging system and then using a viewer compatible with these operators. I originally blogged about the principles here: Twitter is to Bit.ly, TwitPic, etc. as Delicious is to _?

I encourage you to check it out, especially if you already use Delicious. I feel that adding just a little extra contextual data to tags as they're entered can result in a much deeper pool of meta-data to swim — and mine — in.
