I've been working on a new site on and off for the past month and the fruit of my labor has finally surfaced: hotsteeze.com.

Hotsteeze is an action sports site for logging (and sharing, if you want) tricks that you have learned. Skateboarding and other action sports, ever since they began, have been very disorganized. The best collection of tricks up to now has been all the videos scattered throughout YouTube. I've been working on cataloging as many tricks as possible. Hopefully, the database of tricks will provide a more conductive environment for discovering new tricks to learn.

Hotsteeze still has a long way to go to get to where I picture it being, but I hope to continue work on it for a long time.

Over the past couple of months, I've been using what little free time I have to code a website called Clustur. It is located at http://clustur.com. The main page pretty much says it all, but it's basically a site for creating, learning, and sharing study material. I've recently used it to study for all of my exams this semester. Because it passed the test of exams for me, I can say it's helped me a ton during the process.


It's coded in Django, which helped a lot because I was able to use much of the built-in functionality. Right now it's still hosted on my home server, which is slow as molasses. Once Clustur starts getting used by people, I'll move it over to a WebFaction server. I'll also admit that it needs a bit of user interface tweaking, but for the most part everything is solid. I also have some great plans with which to extend this site, but I'll let it be a surprise when they are ready to release.
