scott matthews: a bit about me and my work
scott matthews: a bit about me and my worka bit about me and my workthanks for stopping by — my name is scott matthews and this page is here to tell you a bit about me and my work. if you'd like to get in touch, i can be reached via .andromedawhen i first set out to design andromeda, the idea was to make it easy to play music over the web. a few years later, with php and asp versions for windows, linux, and mac os x, i'm happy to report that people seem to like it.andromeda customers now include organizations such as greenpeace, creative artists agency, us air force, clear channel, salvation army, as well as loads of independent musicians, voice-over artists, sermonists, and countless regular music fans.bitty browser (patent pending)the original idea was that bitty browser would be an easy way to integrate andromeda within other web sites. but the more i worked on it, i came to realize that this idea of "picture-in-picture for the web" would equally apply to many other kinds of contentbitty can now browse web sites, rss feeds, podcasts, opml files, as well as content from services like youtube, google, yahoo, ebay, flickr, del.icio.us, digg, etc. additionally, bitty is now integrated and available through google, microsoft live.com, netvibes, pageflakes, protopage, webwag, typepad, wordpress, 30 boxes, youos, eyeos, widgetbox, etc.i was invited to present bitty at the fancy-schmancy pc forum and supernova technology conferences. most recently, i launched a "white labeled" version of bitty for use by cmp (publisher of techweb and informationweek), which is currently serving an advertising campaign for microsoft.copyfightermy work on andromeda also lead to active participation in discussions about file sharing and intellectual property.i wrote an article for salon.com which was published along with a response by the eff. i coded baudio (code-named "ka-blamo") a 'concept app' that was covered by slashdot and lawmeme. i engaged in some friendly sparring with stanford law professor and "free culture" leader larry lessig. i enjoyed a few appearances on the nationally syndicated david lawrence show, and sat on a cmj music marathon panel. my most recent contribution is drums, a rough sketch for a p2p panacea.backgroundi had the good luck to grow up in a musical home. my father, mike matthews, founded and still runs electro-harmonix, home of cult-classic guitar effects like the big muff pi and small stone — as used by jimi hendrix, kurt cobain, red hot chili peppers, beck, u2, madonna, gnarls barkley, white stripes, wilco, and so on. he's also the leading manufacturer of vacuum tubes, used in amps made by fender, marshall, mesa boogie, mcintosh, conrad-johnson, etc.so music came first, but my father also gave me my first personal computer, an atari 800, back in 1981. i still have (and treasure) my atari basic cartridge.i graduated from cornell with computer science in 1992, and joined a small communications firm making "interactive multimedia" kiosks and digital video for clients like pfizer and prudential. i was turned on to the web on august 3, 1994 (thanks to google i actually know the date — it was the same day as lollapalooza in providence, ri, right after macworld boston) but my boss wasn't interested, so i set out on my own.as a self-employed web-wonk in the mid 1990's, i coded pages for netscape, time, and general electric. another project, fashion photo archive firstview, drew international media attention (new york times, people, time, le monde). i also served as director of technology for gen art, a national nonprofit that promotes young artists, fashion designers and filmmakers.in 1995 the mit media lab awarded first place (in what was then the first interactive juried art show) to my digital graffiti project, curator, which was exhibited in art galleries in soho, nyc. the prize was a digital camera, and i celebrated by making this tour of soho. curator also helped launch a new line of cannon printers.in 1997 i developed incubator, a turnkey database-driven e-commerce engine that still powers online catalogs. i started work on andromeda in 1999, and bitty browser in 2004.the home frontandromeda is the android name of my partner in life, amy harmon. amy is a tech/culture reporter for the new york times, and is way cooler than me. check out this list of her stories, and see what wired had to say about her. here's her pulitzer prizewinning contribution to the "how race is lived in america" series.i've cameoed in a few of amy's travel stories — here's one about digital cameras and another about our trip to tucson, where we stayed overnight at kitt peak national observatory and took this picture of ngc 1042.on august 24, 2004 we welcomed our first little andromite, sasha harmon matthews, to the family. bitty browser is named in her honor. we all live happily ever after in new york city.andromeda reviews"a way-groovy app that allows you to stream your mp3 library over the internet.""it doesn't get much simpler than andromeda. if you have a basic web site and are capable of copying mp3s and the andromeda script (php or asp) into a folder on your server, you can offer streaming or downloadable music on the internet or within any lan.""we're using andromeda to distribute station promo audio enterprise-wide within clear channel. it's so simple to use that even i can figure it out. our producers and programming staff love it....simple and powerful."a typical bitty browserjust below is a typical bitty browser — in this case, configured to contain an andromeda-powered music collection.tip: click for more bitty-sized sites.

andromeda's reachit's an honor that andromeda customers come from all around the world: australia · austria · bahrain · belgium · brazil · british virgin islands · canada · ceylon · chile · czechoslovakia · denmark · dominica · dutch antilles · egypt · finland · fracne · germany · hong kong · iceland · india · iran · iraq · israel · italy · ireland · kuwait · japan · malaysia · maldives · malta · mexico · netherlands · new zealand · norway · portugal · russia · saudi arabia · seychelles · singapore · slovenia · south africa · south korea · spain · sweden · switzerland · taiwan · thailand · turkey · united arab emirates · united kingdom · united states · uruguay · british virgin islandscurator (1995)curator was a standalone interactive graffiti kiosk that was exhibited in art galleries in soho, nyc, and was awarded first place by the mit media lab. it was kind of like photoshop for gallery-goers.curator graffiti on a photo by artist rikki reichfirstview (1995)firstview provided comprehensive access to runway photos within hours of the fashion shows in paris, milan, london, and new york city. the site received worldwide media attention, from both trade and popular publications, including time, people, le monde, wwd, the new york times.atari 800 (1981)geek fun: my first big software project was for my dad, when i was about 13. at the time, he sold hardware speech synthesizers for the atari, apple, and commodore computers. i wrote a function in atari basic which converted numbers to their phonetic equivalents — "123.4" became "w-uh-n h-uh-n-dr-ih-d ae-n-d tw-uh-n-t-ee th-r-ee p-oy-n-t f-aw-r." it worked all the way up to 999,999,999.9999, which i thought was spectacular.
