Past Projects
- The Router Animations I did for my thesis presentation are on the Animations Page. Flash source code is there as well and re-use is encouraged.
- Stanford Networking Seminar - Kevin, Vince and I started this weekly seminar in 1998 and it has been going strong for almost 10 years.
- Wizzy's Quest, a public domain game that Sören and I wrote in 1990. The game received some very flattering reviews for its graphics, sound and gameplay. In '89 non-scrolling 2D graphics and 4 channel sound were still cool. And if you get stuck, you can even find cheats for it online.
Startups and other Entrepreneurial Distractions
- Voltage Security Inc. - The market leader in email encryption, and enterprise key management. I am a co-founder.
- Google Inc. - The best search engine in the world. My only contribution is having co-authored their original business plan with Larry and Sergey. Jochen Siegle wrote nice piece about it for Spiegel Online. I never was a founder/co-founder/employee of Google though, stories saying so are nonsense.
- BASES, the Business Association of Stanford Engineering Students. I held several positions including CTO.
Web Sites I run or did run
- Appenzeller.net - Get your firstname@appenzeller.net personal address for free. Only people with the last name Appenzeller need apply. And it is free (as in beer)!
- BASES - Webmaster/CTO in 1998/99 of the Business Association of Stanford Engineering Students site with about 350 pages, 17000 page views per month.
- Stanford Networking Seminar in 1998/99
