These are some projects that I've done, or that I'm working on, that are fun or useful or whatever. I hope you like them.

• SVG animated analog clock - a simple analog clock, drawn in Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) format, animated with Javascript. It works for me in Firefox 2.0.0.x natively, and in Opera 9.x and Internet Explorer 6 with Adobe's SVG plugin, under Windows 2000 and XP; it may work for you. If you have problems with it, feel free to let me know, but I use this for my own personal thing, so I don't promise to fix it for you. It's released as is, into the public domain.

• U.S. Navy clipart - Various things, mostly rank or ratings insignia.
• Fonts - I've done several Truetype fonts, for fun or for various projects.
• Says-It.com - home of the Church Sign Generator, Vinyl Record Generator, Concert Ticket Generator, George Says, and several other image generators.
• God Hates Shrimp :: Joe Decker and I did this as kind of a parody of Fred Phelps and his "god hates fags" crew. These protestors are out there with their signs saying "god hates fags" and quoting from the book of Leviticus. Well, quoting from Leviticus is ridiculous for two reasons. The first reason is that Jesus established the New Covenant, which stated that the old Mosaic laws about unclean things were invalid (Jesus in his own person said nothing specifically against homosexuality, although Paul later attributed some remarks to him). The second reason is that if you still want to quote from Leviticus, despite Jesus' doing away with Mosaic law, then you better be prepared to enforce the whole thing, not just the parts you don't like. This includes not only the injunction against shellfish and mussels and such, but also against wearing fabrics made of blended fibers, cutting or shaving your beard, sowing mixed seed in a field, and a bunch of other things nobody takes seriously anymore, except maybe Orthodox Jews.
  
  Plus it was a really silly, funny idea, so we just did it.
• Utils :: a few simple web-based utilities that duplicate things you can do on the Unix command line. I made them for myself for when I didn't necessarily have shell access.
  • Character mapper
  • MD5 hash maker
  • URL encoder/decoder
  • Convert text to HTML entities (normal)
  • Convert text to HTML entities (all chars except letters and spaces)
  • Your client info
• Yet another LiveJournal image scraper (two versions - one shows images full-size with next/previous links, the other shows them as thumbnails). Caution: lots of images, and many of them contain nudity or adult language. Here's the source code. There are lots of these things around, but I decided to make one because I wanted to try out PHP's XML parser functions. I added some nifty user interface features that I've not seen on the others, though.

More projects are in the works!
