When re-registering our volleyball team for the urban rec summer league we decided to ditch the old “Smooth Operators” monikor that was given to us and go with something new. After some googling, some thinking, and some clever pun and idiom searches,we came up with this list. I thought I’d post it in case anyone [...]
Friday was somewhat of a busy day in that I was watching an early torch relay in Stanley park, the Olympics were opening, I had a day of work, and there was a “90’s Party” later in the night. However, another thing I managed to sneak into my day was an “Alpha release” (let’s be [...]
This time last year I made a list of new year’s resolutions and I wanted to take them really seriously. I promised myself I’d review how it went, otherwise it becomes one of those generic, meaningless, resolutions like “I want to be more active”. Anyway, let’s take a look.

I finally got around to finishing Coders at Work: Reflections on the Craft of Programming. I bought it a while ago but due to certain career upheavals of late, reading it kind of got backburnered.

A while back I heard about Eric Reis’ five dollar a day strategy for driving traffic to his site. He was talking about it when he visited us at SEG. The gist of it being that you shouldn’t really have a “launch” for a webapp, rather, just let it grow and adapt to your users [...]
I had been eying the copy of “Dreaming in Code” by Scott Rosenberg on the bookshelf of our sister company for a while and finally picked up a copy for one of my monthly programming book reads. This book is actually pretty high level and really aimed more at non-programmers who want to run a [...]
I’ve officially gone through the co-op process as many times as an employer as I did as a student. I have to say, in both cases it took me a while to get it right. We’re finally figuring out a process that allows us to properly screen applicants without pissing them off. (Something we definitely [...]
