Everyone needs a hobby

April 15, 2008

Whoever said working at an exciting startup would leave little time for anything else wasn’t too off. Between a book, a one-year-old and being part of a very exciting company in Ribbit, I’ve spared virtually no time for anything else.

April 1, 2008

Ribbit Platform Release Party – Final preparations

December 11, 2007

One of the easiest ways for an API Flex coder to quantify their work over a length of time is compare asdocs every month or so. I’m preparing for Ribibt’s Platform Release Party, assembling my presentations and one particular slide called “what’s new in beta 2”. Comparing the Beta 1.1 docs for the Ribbit Flex…

My first two years in Silicon Valley, Part 1: Ymaps and Flex 1.x

December 11, 2007

And now, part 1 of a 4 part blog series on my first 2 years out west…  Yahoo Maps and being stuck at Flex 1.x Yahoo gets almost all the credit for my relocation. They won me over and got me to move 3,000 miles form home. Not many developers get a chance to work on and enhance an application that…
