Cutthroat: Naval Warfare
A 2D, turn-based strategy game similar to Milton Bradley's Stratego (now owned by Hasbro). The finished version will include a variety of game modes and support for multiplayer challenges in an animated naval environment.

Magnetic Desktop
Upon first encountering the Magnetic AJAX script at broken-notebook.com, I immediately wondered if there was a way to convert the script for use as a desktop background. With Active Desktop enabled and my Apache server running, the PHP/Javascript combo worked beautifully, and an hour later I had my very own magnetic desktop, with full drag'n'drop capabilities. I also added a couple tweaks to display the magnet count, recently added magnets, and to add colors to the magnets.

Tic-Tac-Toe
This was an old PHP exercise. As such, the code isn't the cleanest (and probably not the most efficient, either, but c'mon, it's Tic-Tac-Toe). Play a while if you enjoy the game, download the source if you're bored, scratch your head if you can't for the life of you understand why anyone would create a Tic-Tac-Toe clone. Ever.

Cryptogram Generator
Another old PHP exercise. Enter some words, punch the button and voila, a gen-u-ine cryptogram to annoy your friends with. Currently limited to 10 items, and the alphabet is generated randomly each time.
