Meetups

I've organized New York Web Performance Group - you can check meeting schedule over at Meetup.com.

I also help other organizers and run organizer's mailing list, if you are already running a group or want to start one, let me know.

HowDoable

HowDoable is a new project of mine that helps people keep track of important things by reusing their todo-lists. It also has some predefined tasks like sharing links or creating events on Facebook, Tweeting, emailing, adding musical gigs on LastFM and so on - they speed up on-line tasks.

ShowSlow

ShowSlow is a tool for aggregating and visualizing web site performance information. It is also available as open source tool.

Sharing Buttons

I created an open catalog of sharing buttons so everyone can implement their own version based on the collected data. It's based on wiki technology and uses Semantic MediaWiki to manage structured data.

Technical Presentations

TechPresentations - collection of interesting technical presentations. Feel free to register and add/edit presentations.
TechPresentations blog - original blog that was an initial version of the project and still used as feed for for the project.

Maps

Google maps vs. Yahoo! maps - side-by-side comparison tool.
Map banners - AJAX ads (heavy page).

Semantic Web

FOAF-based QR-code business card generator - parces yor FOAF, generates QR code and sends it all to Zazzle to make a business card for you to order right away.
My Semantic Profile - open source tool to easily edit your FOAF file, also supports RDFa and Microformats. You can see my profile at /profile/.
I also contributed a couple things to Semantic MediaWiki extension to MediaWiki and use it for some of my projects.

JavaScript

JSON Remote Loader - Open Source library for loading JSON-formatted data from remote sites (where XMLHttpRequest doesn't work because of same-host security restriction).
