Gridmatch

A little game inspired by the Triple Town game. How to play:

Click cells that have at least one neighboring cell with the same number of dots, and watch them combine.

The resulting cell will recieve an additional dot until it's full.

Cell combinations will automatically chain if the result cell has neighbors of the same count.

Exfm: 3/7

Exfm

What started out as a humble little chrome extension that helped keep track of the music you discovered across the internet grew up into a full suite of mobile and web applications.

Site Player

The Exfm site player provides an easy solution for audio playback on websites. It supports MP3’s, Soundcloud embeds, Bandcamp and more. It works on all platforms including Tumblr, Wordpress and Blogger and supports themes as well as custom css modifications.

Chrome Extension

The browser extension allows for seamless background audio playback across tabs while quietly gathering and maintaining references to music a user discovers while browsing. It also adds the ablity to easily share music you find to your exfm network as well as the major social platforms.

V3 iPhone App

The Exfm iPhone app features everything found on the website plus a new "Smart Shuffle" which learns and adapts to your listening habits. You can see what your friends are listening to in real-time and search for songs, sites and other people with fast autocomplete search.
