Some Projects and Hacks

• Some Ubiquity commands, include a reimplementation of LinkBack.
• LinkBack adds automatic backlinks to every web page you visit.
  A crude step towards what Nelson and Englebart were thinking of 35 years ago.
• Visual browser for the Tree of Life.
• BioBike (formerly BioLingua)
  A web-based programmable knowledge environment for computational biology. See the recently published article in Bioinformatics.
  I developed the frame-based knowledge representation system underlying the system, and parts of the web-based UI.
  Now with a nascent Ajax-based visual programming language.
• PatBlocks
  A Java program for making geometric patterns. Started as a toy for my kids and got somewhat out of control.
  Pretty pictures here.
• A couple of trivial Google Homepage Modules
  that can tell you your IP and DNS address and your local sunrise/sunset times.
• MDL Base platform for chemistry informatics.
  I designed and implemented the visual programming language and form builder parts of this product.
• Afferent
  A system for managing lab information for drug discovery, particularly combinatorial chemistry. I was UI lead and implemented a variety of subsystems.
  See this success story for more.
• Skij
  A Java-based scripting language and development tool.
