Code - like Projects

What can I say? I'm a geek, thru & thru and I occasionally like to hack around a little. I'm also currently "acting VP of Worldwide IP" for Mobius Photonics <jk>. Seriously... I was actually a CS major back in the day (pre-Product Design). None of these projects/solutions are "professional" but they may just help you out a little.

I have found Mac OS X to be a wonderful environment for the amateur (hobbyist) coder. After all, not only do you have a command line interface (python, ruby, and more included) and the power of UNIX and scripting, you also get a powerful GUI development environment (XCode) for free. If that's not enough, there's a whole slew of open source code and helpful coders out there willing to lend a hand.
