Here's just some of the stuff that I've been working on:</p>

<a href="http://www.aquiapp.com">Aquí 2.0</a> - A complete rewrite of my iPhone app. Motivated in large part for the following reasons:
<ul>
<li>Wanting to add future features and prepare for iOS4</li>
<li>Knowing much more about the iPhone SDK than when I first started out</li>
<li>Twitter changing their <a href="http://www.countdowntooauth.com/">authentication to OAuth-only</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>OAuthConsumer-iPhone - For better or worse, OAuth has become the de facto standard for Web Service API authentication/authorization. I needed to learn how OAuth worked for Aquí to hook it up with Twitter. Problem was, I couldn't find a good open source OAuth library that worked "out-of-the-box" for the iPhone, and the best one I could find was an open source library called OAuthConsumer which was tuned for the desktop Mac. OAuthConsumer needed some repackaging to get it working on the iPhone, so I wrote a script to automate this and an example iPhone app demonstrating its use. You can find my work here: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/oauthconsumer-iphone/">http://code.google.com/p/oauthconsumer-iphone/</a>
