live coding
live coding - A new thing in London where music coders write code that makes music and sounds live (like in Chuck or Max/MSP). Neato!
Dave sums it up: "It's such a new thing, and we don't know if we're any good at it - it may well be that a new generation comes along and just blows us away".
I googled "live coding", and what came up was On-the-fly Programming :
Using Code as an Expressive Musical Instrument (or live coding) by Ge Wang and Perry Cook. That is so cool.
I met Ge Wang last week at ICMC 2009. He gave two really awesome talks, one about smule and one about slork.
Yes, this is my life, and it rocks. :)

persona
Personas, an MIT-based project that began as an art installation. Beautiful design, but really lacking the data and algorithms, a search on my name (both Steven Ness and sness) didn't produce anything interesting.
What we need is beautiful design coupled with hardcore algorithms and data.
This is my mission.

Writing an Image, Multiple Times with convert in ImageMagick. Super useful, and turned a process that would have taken years into one that will just take a month or so (!) on a four core Mac Pro.
Before, each conversion of a .wav file from The Orchive to all the .jpg images required would have to run each one as a seperate "convert" job, which was taking about an hour per .wav file! Now, it runs in about a minute.
