My name is Benjamin Ragheb and I live in New York City. I love it here. I write programs for computers. I dabble in comedy.
Software Engineering
I like that term better than programming (too menial) or development (too vague), but apparently it irritates actual licensed engineers who build important things like bridges and aircraft.
I wrote the iPhone apps FatWatch and MetroCost and you can buy them from the App Store.
I have a bunch more things up my sleeve. I also do contract work.
Comedy
The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre is my primary social network. I perform longform improv with the indie teams Fat Penguin and Zuleyka.
Where I write
- This blog, about projects I am working on, technical topics, etc.
- Tumblr, for stuff I find that I feel the need to share with somebody.
- The FatWatch Weight Log, about FatWatch, The Hacker’s Diet, and weight management in general.
- Twitter, when I feel like it.
Where I don’t write any more
- LiveJournal (should I take it down?)
