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 […]
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 […]
Join us for the DevHouse to celebrate its six month anniversary on Saturday, December 10th!
After 5 successful gatherings, the DevHouse has become the Bay Area’s premier event that combines serious and not-so-serious productivity with a fun and exciting party atmosphere. Not to mention our recent addition of Geek Pitches, which has made the DevHouse also […]
Tomorrow is the big day. And I mean big.
During the night of our last and fourth event, 60 people came through to hack, share, and socialize. It was our biggest event yet. Tonight there’s a little over 80 people signed up for tomorrow’s event. If previous trends hold, that means we have to plan for […]
I feel slightly obligated to make a blog post from Barcamp. The only thing I can think to say is that I’m meeting some really awesome people, some with very impressive projects. It was unfortunate I wasn’t able to finish Microseek to demo, but I hope to present it at the next SuperHappyDevHouse. Hopefully, the […]
I think I learned two things from the first DevHouse: magic tricks can go a long way in the dev crowd (hey, they’re brain teasers), and you can get away with putting pizza directly on the oven rack. I also noticed something that should have been pretty predictable, the party had three phases.
The first was […]
David Weekly informed me of an event the Silicon Valley Linux User Group has started throwing called Hacking Society. They didn’t invent it–it’s actually done in several places around the country. The idea is very much that of the "dev lan" only they’re hosting it at a Round Table and it doesn’t go all night. […]
Ken Norton, one of the cool (new) people at JotSpot, recently posted about hackathons and how the JotSpot team held one with excellent results. I love it when cool, smart people advocate ideas I push.
Attend SuperHappyDevHouse on May 28th!
The first SuperHappyDevHouse is scheduled for Saturday, May 14th at the SuperHappyFunHouse.
What is SuperHappyDevHouse?
SuperHappyDevHouse is an event for hackers and developers to socialize and, more importantly, share ideas in the context of development and creating new things. This event will lean mostly towards web development, but all kinds of software developers are welcome. We want […]
I want to organize an event.
I think the idea of a LAN party in its most literal meaning is fun by itself–a social event involving geeks, networked computers and usually the Internet. However, the term "LAN party" has become mostly associated with gaming parties. I’ve been doing these forever. I’d get my friends to lug […]
