LinkedIn is Going Great

I saw these kinds of posts all over LinkedIn, and I thought: I can do that!

Coding

It seems like discussions about Go (or Golang), Google’s new-ish, C-like, programming language, are everywhere these days. I’ve been using Go in my free time to work on little projects for the last few months and thought it was time to jot down a few thoughts on the language. Background I find in articles like this even a short amount of background helps color the views.

Screenshop - My Team’s Comedy Hack Day App

Comedy Hack Day was a pretty freaking cool experience all around and made better by the following: With my background in both tech and comedy (writing), I’ve been dying to do Comedy Hack Day for a while now and just couldn’t make it work with my schedule. My team (the three of us just randomly formed in the chaos) worked our asses off to get a demo and an iOS app (I had to learn Objective C on the fly) just in time.

Android Wear and an Update on My First Android App

Over the Christmas holiday I dove in head first with Android Wear, and by that I mean I both bought a watch and developed an app (which of course, means it’s a stupid silly app as that is all that I make in my free time). So now, two months later, I figured it would be a good point to step back and see if it was a good move or just a project for my time off of work.

I Got a 3D Printer

I’m one of those 3D printer guys now. It happened a few weeks ago when my Solidoodle Press finally arrived only after a quick 3 - 4 month delay. Since then I’ve printed something right after plugging it in that looked awesome…but then I learned that it looked “OK”…then I learned how to calibrate it…then I learned how to switch to better software…then I learned how frustrating 5 or 6 failed prints in a row are…then I learned how to install Windows on a Mac so I can install different 3D printing software…then I learned that Windows wasn’t so bad if it helped me to stop making weird plastic things I throw in the trash…then I learned that looking for the next thing to print is exhausting.
