Projects

These are my “nights and weekends” projects. I like to try using new (or old) tools which I wouldn’t get to use at work, but that usually means they aren’t always fully-formed.

Unravled

Knitting/crochet counter app for Android (and, theoretically, iOS) which is written in HTML5/Javascript. It uses Backbone.js as its Javascript MV* framework and works entirely out of a static HTML page, using localStorage for data persistence.

WeatherNOOK

An Android application for fetching the current weather conditions and forecast from NOAA. It’s specifically optimized for the B&N Nook Tablet, and I wrote it because there weren’t any good (free) weather applications in the B&N store.

Color Mask

A Python/Cocoa application for automatically generating masks suitable for making screen-printing screens from photographs. It uses PyObjc and the included Cocoa bindings for the UI, and some custom CoreImage filters (which are a subset of OpenGL Shaders) to calculate the image mask.
