Hello


    My name is Amal Graafstra, and this is my very humble personal site. I'm a jack of all trades type of person, which can be quite frustrating at times. While I admire Nikola Tesla's ability to first think, plan, and then build, I'm more like Thomas Edison... stuck in my garage doing 10,000 trial and error runs, only I'm not that patient.

At any given time I'll most likely be involved with several companies at a time and building fun projects on the side. I've implanted myself with two RFID tags and I tend to absorb odd factoids, song lyrics, and movie dialogue.

Here are some links:

  • Morpheus Inc. - Morpheus is a company I started in 1998. This was before The Matrix came out, and we were doing web design. The idea was that Morpheus, being the Greek God of Dreams, was a great name for our company because we wanted to take the client's dreams and turn them into reality. Then the Matrix comes out and it just seems stupid. Then, to make matters worse, the Morpheus file/music sharing software was launched, and we started to get calls from people all the time asking for support. We've drastically changed what we do, but we still get support calls for the Morpheus music sharing software from time to time.

  • txtGroups Inc. - After working several years behind the scenes for various mobile companies building their message routing systems, txtGroups is my own foray into the mobile space.

  • RFID page - This is the original RFID FAQ page turned crappy blog. One day I'll have some time to port the entries over to my new RFID blog.

  • Amal's Blog - This is my actual blog. Lot's of posts about random stuff... I hope some of it is interesting.
