I can be found blogging, tweeting, coding, and taking pictures. Here are some of the things I've made...

• 

  Chromoscope
  View the Universe in different colours in your browser. Similar to GoogleSky/WWT but you can download it and run it offline. [Chromoscope on Github]

• 

  Virtual Sky
  An embeddable HTML5-canvas-based planetarium. I created this for LCOGT and it is freely available for non-commercial use. [VirtualSky on Github]

• 

  Thomas Stevens Blog
  I'm converting the story of the first man to cycle around the world into blog form.

• 

  Paper Planck
  Make your own paper (or card) model of the European Space Agency's Planck satellite. I designed the templates.

• 

  LookUP
  This web service looks up the details of astronomical objects by name. Get results as a webpage, XML, JSON or on your iPhone. It makes Simbad, NED, SkyBot etc more usable.

• 

  FITS extraction with Javascript
  Use Javascript to display a FITS file in a web browser. [jsFITS on Github]

• 

  AVM Javascript Library
  Use Javascript to extract information from the AVM tags in the headers of astronomical jpegs.

• 

  SpaceBuzz
  A toy I made to display the currently popular tags being used within the astronomy blogosphere.

• 

  Jodcast
  A twice-monthly astronomy podcast featuring the latest news, interviews and the night sky. I was a co-founder and helped run it for 4.5 years. I now just provide occasional help.

• 

  .Astronomy
  The most exciting astronomy-internet-related conference of the year! I was on the organising committee for the second and third .Astronomy events in Leiden and Oxford.

• 

  365 Days of Astronomy
  During 2009, 2010 and 2011 I created the weekly omnibus edition of the podcast using Perl and Sox.

• 

  Astronomy Media Player
  My attempt to bring all the astronomy podcasts into one place. It has since been superceded by Portal to the Universe.

I also maintain @apod.
