Greg Whitehead's Bio

Industrious slacker. Love spending time in my workshop and getting outdoors with my wife and our dogs. Have been known to brew beer and mix cocktails.

You can also find me at Counterwave (counterwave.com), where we make puzzles like OMBY — The Moby-Dick Unscrambling Game (counterwavegames.com/omby).

Previously at Sun, Apple, Verisign, HP, and several startups in between, working on distributed and federated systems.

I wrote about the making of this 1:12000 scale model of Mt Whitney that I cut out of Birch plywood on a CNC router: grwster.com/projects/2022/mtwh

My wife and I met climbing Mt Whitney and this was my present to her for our 25th Anniversary.

Ok, time for some fun (if you're into word puzzles and/or Moby-Dick)!

This is OMBY, The Moby-Dick Unscrambling Game, a word puzzle I helped create a few years ago that is now free to download and play on iOS and Android (no ads, no in-app purchases).

We turned the full text of Moby-Dick into 10,395 puzzles — solving them takes you sentence-by-sentence through the entire book. Believe it or not, people have finished!
