Past side projects include: organizing arts festivals, and "The Canada Effect" - YouTube videos I produced after interviewing a few hundred Canadians about their healthcare - which spawned a full feature documentary "The Healthcare Movie" - narrated by Kiefer Sutherland. I then traveled to screenings and spoke on panels about healthcare.

My side project is an app to help solve world hunger. People play trivia and earn real rice for world vision. Cool, right? I just completed the app after finishing my MBA and you can check it out here: http://www.pocketrice.com.au/ http://www.pocketrice.com.au/

My side project is a Course Scheduling application (http://sourceforge.net/projects/coursescheduler/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/coursescheduler/ & https://github.com/CourseScheduler/coursescheduler https://github.com/CourseScheduler/coursescheduler) that allows students to retrieve course information from their university and then build a schedule of classes based off of that information. It currently only works for Kettering University (Flint, MI), but I'm currently working on abstracting the application to work for other universities.
