Additional Personal Gallimaufry

This page, to be honest, has little reason to exist. My current plan is to lade it with links to junk about me on the very off chance that you simply cannot get enough.

 

Flickr: I've got a few images up there, most not worth troubling yourself over. Regardless, here's my photostream.

 

World66: A wiki travel site. The idea's good, but the content is often rather lacking. The site does offer various free maps showing where a member has been, including the one at right. If it's red, I've been there. As you can see, I don't travel much internationally.

 

BOINC: An open-source software project for distributed- and grid-computing. At present I crunch data for POEM@home, Rosetta@home, and Einstein@Home. The first two projects work on protein analysis and modeling while the last addresses research on gravitational waves.

 

Kiva: A non-profit microfinance website. You provide money that is then lent at variable local interest rates but 0% interest for you to people in developing countries; if and when it is repaid, you can either take it back or re-lend it. Take a look at the entrepreneurs or my lender's page. I started a growing Kiva team called Kiva Capitalists.

 

My Crud: A great program for keeping track of your junk, Delicious Library is only for Mac. Yes, it's frivolous and costly, but it works well. You can buy and sell via Amazon with it even. It also produces webpages of your crud, which it what this links to. Note that it has its own layout style, quite different from this site's.

 

TripAdvisor: A travel site that has Google Maps integration, as you can see on the right. I've done a lot of driving across the US and around Japan, but not so much traveling elsewhere. When you can count getting out of the car to take a picture of the Marshall Arch in Marshall, Indiana, as a visit, you can end up going lots of places.

 

Tenki.jp: A Japanese weather site, whose name means weather, tenki, 天気. I've added their animated precipitation forecast for Tokyo-to. However, you can click on the tabs at the top to see, from left to right: temperature, precipitation, wind direction and speed, sunshine, and snow depth.

 

Additional Bits:

I have double-jointed thumbs and can hear dog whistles. Really. Oh, I don't get jet-lag. I'm a donor for Holodomor the Movie.
