The workbench

nine things i built and then put somewhere you can use them.


  1. Spoiler Alert Android app
    Spoiler Alert

    holds back any notification that would give away a score until you say you have finished watching. nothing leaves the phone and there is no account.

  2. Stack Free Mac app
    Stack

    a menu bar app that watches your posture against a baseline you set yourself, and says something when you drift off it. free.

  3. Bachelor Game Poster builder
    Bachelor Game

    turns a weekend into a scored game. 107 activities, and it builds either a sheet for the home printer or a sixty-by-forty-eight poster for the wall.

  4. Monster Truck Mayhem Browser game
    Monster Truck Mayhem

    a browser game i built with my son. he had the ideas and did the art direction; i did the typing.

  5. Converge Calendar tool
    Converge

    reads a group's calendars and finds the weekends that actually work for everybody, instead of the thread where four people say "any of those".

  6. Pizza Calculator Dough maths
    Pizza Calculator

    how much pizza to actually order, tuned so that you are not still eating it on the following tuesday.

  7. Maze Workshop Printable mazes
    Maze Workshop

    makes a maze and prints it, with the answer key on page two. five themes, five difficulties from a three-year-old's first tracing puzzle upward, and mazes cut into the shape of a rocket or a lego brick.

  8. Draw Along Printable drawing sheets
    Draw Along

    how-to-draw sheets you can print. thirty-three subjects, mostly dragons and unicorns and castles, each broken into six steps with a box at the end to try it yourself.

  9. Colours Colour-name game
    Colours

    learn the names of 949 colours, commonest first, from the survey where the internet was asked to name them. it gets harder on purpose: the wrong answers get closer the better you do.
