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?)
