I've written a little bit about this project for a little while, and I've finally decided on a name.

Psychologist.js is a framework for rapidly prototyping virtual reality applications using standard HTML5 technologies. It keeps you sane while bending your mind.

Whether you're on Windows or OS X or Linux, there is only one package to install that gives you access to an easy-to-configure web server r…

Well, it's a little…

This was me back then, in the year 2002:



And this is me now, 12 years later:





So what happened in between?

Well, after getting my degree in Computer Science, I ended up bouncing around between jobs. I've had--depending on how you count--6 to 8 jobs in the last twelve years. Most of them sucked. I got d…
