Octenuator is a dead simple 8 channel passive attenuator in Eurorack format.
I'm using it to temper modular output into something my Zoom R16 can handle without clipping.
Design files are available on Github and kits may be coming soon.
Nanoloop is a great little portable music making app that is deceptively capable given its minimalist interface.
One of the many nice features of Nanoloop is support for MIDI clock as master or slave. This lets it sync up any application with MIDI clock support.
My latest project is a FogBugz client called Okarito for iOS and Android devices.
The app was built using the excellent Ionic framework - a free, open source library built on Cordova PhoneGap and AngularJS. You can check it out here.
Pedro2 is my latest electronics project - an Arduino-based apartment rover, controllable over the Internet.

I've been meaning to migrate my blog comments out of Funnelweb and into Disqus for a while. I never quite got comments to work to my satisfaction in Funnelweb (user error I'm sure - Funnelweb is mostly great) and I appreciated the idea of subbing that out to a dedicated service.

The controller is fashioned from 16 surplus laptop touchpads arranged in a 4x4 matrix. Each touchpad transmits:
For a total of 16 notes and 48 control change values available at the fingertips.
I decided to put to good use the a few of the hundreds of audio cassettes I've seen gathering dust in boxes around local thrift stores. This is the result:
Construction was simple.
Contingency Reader is my host-it-yourself Google Reader replacement.
It was written over the course of about 10 days in C# / .NET 4.5 with SQL Server on the backend.
Features include:
NZBMatrix is dead but I wasn't going to let that keep me from USENET.
While waiting for the dust to settle and a new indexing service to bubble up I wrote my own quick and dirty indexer in Python with MongoDB on the backend. Get it here.
PureData-extended was recently upgraded to 0.43.4. I couldn't wait to download and play around with some of the new features and check out the GUI updates.
After installation, my GitHub for Windows suddenly and inexplicably failed to clone, push, or pull remote repositories. It would only show this rather cryptic error message:
