I hack on the most high-impact ideas I can find. I used to perform research within academia; now I write code that will receive direct feedback from the market. I am always on the lookout for collaborators.

I work on Recommended, the site you are on right now. You can also gauge my design sense from the prototypes I build at hystry.com, and my interests from my tumblelog. Some phrases that have a better chance than most of getting me excited: blogs vs wikis, programming languages vs tools, desktop vs web software mechanisms, fostering online communities, collaboration by remix, manufactured serendipity, reading code, version control, visualizing timelines, historical context.
