Posted on April 13, 2009 by

Getting back in the swing of things after conferencing for weeks can be pretty painful, thus the lateness of the post. However I think it’s important to go over some thoughts still lingering in my brain as a result. First off, I have to say that for those of you who don’t know, PyCon is a community organized event, and amazingly well done. I was impressed by the design of the conference, the way they had four talks going on … Continue reading →

Posted on July 30, 2008 by

This year was my second year at OSCON in Portland, and it’s pretty amazing for me to look back at last July and know that I was working at OSAF. A lot can happen in a year, but what didn’t surprise me was the amount of people that I interacted with at the con that I had met during my OSAF experience. A few things come to mind when I think about the conference as a whole. First off, who … Continue reading →

Oscon 2008 Schedule

Posted on July 23, 2008 by

Every year I like to make myself a road map of how I will be spending my time during OSCON. As there are so many interesting possible talks, gatherings and social events it’s tough to get to all the things you care about. At this point in my career my focus is on Web Development, Test Automation (specifically for the web & browsers), and social networking. Obviously on a moment by moment basis your interests are pulled in varying directions, … Continue reading →

Posted on July 11, 2008 by

Being a compulsive early adopter of such things, I somehow managed to tear myself out of bed around 6 AM this morning and head down to the Apple Store in Emeryville Califorinia. I arrived somewhere between 6:30 and 6:45 AM, and even though deep down I knew that it was going to be … Continue reading →

Leaving Rearden Commerce, What’s Next?

Posted on June 27, 2008 by

What happened? As some of you may have heard, today I resigned from my position at Rearden Commerce. Leaving a company is never a fun thing, because you know how you feel when you hear that someone else is leaving.. and you can see it in people’s eyes. I have reminded myself multiple times today that I am still going to be 30 mins away, most of my communication with those people has been via email and IM and there is no … Continue reading →
