Over 9000th SuperHappyDevHouse

Monday, March 26th, 2007

This was an excellent DevHouse. The attendance was great, the people were great, the ideas were great… it was a great experience. I just can’t get over how awesome it is to be surrounded by such smart, inspiring, fun people.

This was SuperHappyDevHouse 10000. We always like to play with the event number for DevHouse events, […]

Monday, March 19th, 2007

The idea is simple: get together to watch a number of great modern speakers on a big screen talk about a variety of intellectually stimulating topics.

Reflecting on DevHouse

Caterina of Flickr founding fame, plays devil’s advocate on the idea that now is a great time to start a company. This is the first time I’ve heard somebody take a stance like this, so I’m glad it’s been done. With these things said, I will now start a company.
Personally, I think if you’re […]

Joshua is not new

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

While I was at the DevHouse, I mentioned Joshua to some people. Kragen pointed me to Jesse Ruderman’s JavaScript Shell. Alright, so it’s been done before. In fact, Jesse does everything I wanted and more, and is even more clever in implementation.
Then later, David pointed me to MochiKit’s Interpreter demo. Well, that wasn’t as […]
