I'm one of the founders of Ars Technica, a former Wired editor, author, programmer, and wearer of many hats. I'm currently working on stretched.io as part of a larger project in the product search space. Not a lot there yet for the public to play with, but if you're a masochist you can go take a peek. Also, I now hack ruby at Collective Idea (collectiveidea.com).
