I couldn't find any good games for my password manager. So I made one.

1Crossword connects to your 1Password vault and generates a crossword entirely out of your passwords!

The crosswords are fun, simple, and great for sharing on social media when you finish. Enjoy!

how do you all remember every UUID? I find it really hard. so I wrote them all down over at everyuuid.com

the list has fast search across all 2^122 values (so you can find your favorites) - hoping to add some social features like "trending UUIDs" soon!

i got sick of political spam; my phone now auto-texts STOP to unknown numbers

iOS automations are super neat, but I do wish there was a real solution to this

I made a game. It's called PacCam. It's Pacman but you control it with your face - look to turn, chomp your mouth to move.

You look very very silly while you play :)

You can play it here: https://eieio.games/paccam/

that's it! have fun!!

Got DOOM running in the IOS photos app. Kind of.

A very silly collab with the very smart Adnan Aga :)

Lots of details on the shortcut trickery (and other dumb hacks) over on my blog: https://eieio.games/nonsense/game-15-doom-ios-photos-app/

I'm releasing all the data from one million checkboxes, scripts for generating timelapses from that data, and open sourcing the code.

Hope you enjoy. I've had a ton of fun but I'm pretty happy to be done :)

Code: https://github.com/nolenroyalty/one-million-checkboxes

Scripts: https://github.com/nolenroyalty/one-million-checkboxes-data-scripts

Data: https://archive.org/details/one-million-checkboxes-data

And here's one of my fave timelapses to close things out!

At the height of One Million Checkboxes's popularity I thought I'd been hacked. A few hours later I was tearing up, extraordinarily proud of some brilliant teens.

Here's my favorite story from running OMCB :)

My server was pegged at the bandwidth cap I set for much of the first night (before it crashed) - I think this was probably malicious, based on the timing?

(thanks to my friend Greg Technology for getting me to think about bandwidth early)
