I look forward to some of your projects starting to see the light of day.

I know right? Honestly though the foundation of all of these things is a database connected to a server. I've got Node.JS and MySQL booted up right now and playing around with it. Once I have this solid foundation I should be able to crank this stuff out relatively quickly. Dapps become surprisingly trivial when you have a built-in network for security (private keys) on top of a database that is verified and stored by 20 witnesses and hundreds of nodes.
