My motive? Working on innovative applications of Internet enabled technology. I am particularly interested in web applications but also networks, communities, the social graph, standards, and semantics. So much of the Internet's potential is still being discovered and I feel like I'm in on the ground floor.
I have plenty pipe dream projects. Monarch saught to find common ground in web applications and provide some level of interoperability (Google's OpenSocial solves the same problem). Hyve uses peer-to-peer networking to govern a system's distributed state. Engen is a framework capable of generating seemingly infinite worlds. Mecycle is a mechanism for collecting, sharing, and consuming multimedia.
