Rhythm Game
I don't know what's trickier about this massive online game: reading and performing the rhythms, or pushing past the terrible jokes introducing each level!

Mail Merge
Pages is much more pleasant to use than Microsoft Word, but in version 5, Apple tried to make the OS X and iOS Pages...es... more compatible, and in the process removed the mail merge feature. I liked that feature. Here's an AppleScript that brings it back.

Sober People
It started as a Facebook fan page: "Sober people are any people who are not drunk. You should be a fan of us. Especially if you're one of us." Then came downloadable posters to try to cut down on underage drinking, but they're now pretty out-of-date.

Counterpoint
Counterpoint started as a game one boring night at SUNY Potsdam. My roommate liked musicals, so as a challenge, I opened several show tunes in QuickTime and began playing them all simultaneously.

Aquallegro began as a way for me personally to learn tenor and alto clef, but quickly expanded to a large set of music-related quizzes.

My Taste
I spend a lot of time thinking about whether or not things are "good". I like to separate the concepts of "I like this" and "this is good", believing the former to be a subjective opinion, but using an artistic, objective definition for the latter. Here you can find things that fall into both categories: good things I like.
