1. Quip

    I’ve been using Quip for the last few days and really liking it. The ability to move between devices1 without friction has allowed me to work on some medium-form pieces at times/places I wouldn’t have without it. I’ve also used it to get feedback on various content drafts, which has worked nicely. So far it’s…

    Subject: Treatment #10 Update

    Hello All– Yesterday I received my 10th FOLFOX chemo treatment – 10 down, 2 to go. So far this is progressing much like the previous treatments. I’m still on the reduced dose of Oxaliplatin and that probably will be dropped in treatments 11 and 12. My next PET scan will be at the end of…

  4. My Biggest Take-Aways from WordCamp San Francisco 2013 →

    My biggest take-aways from WordCamp San Francisco 2013 were:

    I only got a single t-shirt and water bottle (thanks Nick!), and a couple of pairs of sunglasses that my daughter’s stuffed animals are enjoying.

    A definite +1 from me on the evolution of development best practices and growth in the project leadership. I expect WordPress development will look a lot different (for the better) at WordCamp SF 2014.

  5. The Benefit of Mentor Whiplash →

    I believe that if you ask five mentors the same question you’ll get seven different answers.

    Definitely – the benefit of talking to mentors is not to have them tell you what to do, it is to learn how they approach issues given their particular background, experience and values. At least that’s how I approach the advice I give, I hope they are taking it that way. 🙂

  6. Left my iPad on a plane a few weeks back, resorting to wireframing with pen and paper.
