Areas of Interest
Syndication feeds (RSS/Atom); Activity Streams; mashups; data ownership; user-sovereignty.

Working On

 * feeder2 - Latest attempt at a web feed poller & general node.js saw-sharpening

Thinking about

 * Simple static web hosting service
 * No smarts, no structure beyond URLs. Put this content at that URL under my (sub)domain.
 * Like Amazon S3 but with a non-horrible on-ramp
 * Like Dropbox but specifically for scalable web hosting
 * Like remoteStorage but (again) specifically for web hosting
 * Simple API with Oauth(ish?) permission dance for apps

Itches

 * lmorchard.com hasn't got respectable SSL

Mothballed
''Used to work on these things. I stopped. Might start again, someday. Then again, maybe not.''
 * Tinkering with Activity Streams - I started writing a sequel to my Hacking RSS & Atom book, but didn't get far.
 * notational-vapor - A fast notepad in the clouds (mainly Dropbox)
 * thumb-extractor - Come up with a thumbnail image for any given URL, handy for feed readers
 * badg.us - Badges & achievements for all the web
