About
This blog is written by Peter Harkins, a web developer and entrepreneur in Chicago. The recurring themes on this blog include programming minutia, the ways small design changes influence user behavior, and game design. Feel free to contact me or check out some code on GitHub.
In my career, I've re-engineered the .pro domain, gate-crashed a stealth startup, built one of the most popular Wordpress plugins, covered dozens of stories for the Washington Post on the web, and defeated the original Super Mario Kart.
If you play any tabletop games (like D&D, Magic, and Settlers), visit my site NearbyGamers to find folks to game with.

- Somehow my boss had never seen "Like a Boss".
- RT @rmurphey: wtf, view source shows the price for this place as $190, but @airbnb is updating it post-pageload to $210.
- I'm giving my apartment rooms old names: living room -> locutory, pantry -> acatery. Suggestions for bdrm, kitchen, office/guest bed?
- My little sister just IMd me: "Do you know how to extract a tgz file?" Why yes, I do. And I bet it's USGS data.
- I'm being followed by the Amelie soundtrack. Which isn't so bad, as stalkers go.
- Momentum is the phlogiston of politics.
- Browsing my local comics store, a couple startup coders came in to pitch their customer loyalty biz. Something about earning pixels.
- RT @samuelclay: Listening to Moondog is as close as I get to conducting Bach in a wheat field while tripping on LSD.
