Autumn Associations | Scott Nonnenberg
https://blog.scottnonnenberg.com/autumn-associations
In American pop culture, Autumn is orange and brown, pumpkins, brightly colored leaves starting to fall, animals storing food for winter. I think of it a little differently. I think of it as a time of. And at least a little bit of. From a young age we’re all conditioned to expect to start something new in the fall. The first day of school. Time to stop playing around, time to be productive again. Strangely, that feeling has continued far past my school years:. The Autumn Equinox was this week, and I got ...

Resolutions (and Systems) | Scott Nonnenberg
https://blog.scottnonnenberg.com/resolutions-and-systems
Here we are, already in February! What a great time to talk about 2014 Resolutions, right? After you’ve already forgotten yours? The packed gyms, new diets, and renewed focus at at work are all starting to fade away along with those New Year’s resolutions. For some that’s a source of relief. For others, it’s a disappointment as hopes for big changes and improvements fade as well. Design a comprehensive set of steps leading towards those goals, then get into a rhythm. The idea is that writing three pages ...

The Last Year | Scott Nonnenberg
https://blog.scottnonnenberg.com/the-last-year
It’s Fall, a time for reflection. And it has been about a year since I posted Why I Left LIFFFT. I think a little business update is in order. Let’s talk about how I’ve been filling my days. After giving a quick example of some cool stuff. I’ve done with Node.js at the Learn Node SeattleJS. Meetup last September, I was invited to speak at the Seattle Software Craftsmanship. Meetup. About a month later, I spoke there about Javascript. Social Engineering for Good, Not Evil. In the last year I’ve really tri...

Adam Loving's Blog. Seattle Swift, Node.js, and Rails developer at Pioneer Square Labs. Scott Nonnenberg wrote a great post about how Node.js is not magical. I totally agree that Javascript is “a bit tricky.” A lot of times. People that I work with think they know javascript better than they actually do. However, I’m also noticing that it is becoming a lingua franca – more people know it. If you’re just getting started with Node, see Scott’s post for some helpful links. Top 6 gotchas with Node.js.

Hippie Experiments | Scott Nonnenberg
https://blog.scottnonnenberg.com/hippie-experiments
I’m outing myself. I have some distinctly hippie-style attitudes. I don’t really go for cleanses or macrobiotic eating, but I certainly like my modifiers. Local, organic, raw, unprocessed, grass-fed, pasture-raised, sustainable, fair-trade? I also experiment with a lot of weird things. Like making my own kombucha (. Not tasty), and making my own yogurt (. Too time-consuming). Happily, some work out well. Here are three successful experiments. The only problem: how do you get it warm again? Summer 2013 I ...

https://blog.scottnonnenberg.com/why-i-left-liffft
Why I left LIFFFT. To those arriving from Google: I was one of the three original founders of LIFFFT, along with Kav Latiolais. In 2013, it was entirely innovation-focused. As of February 2016, it seems to be much more about contract software development.]. Most of you who I’ve spoken with in the last month or two likely know already that I left LIFFFT. I wanted to make a wider announcement as our trajectories continue to diverge. Moving On from Microsoft. Experimenting with very flexible work arrangemen...

Injury, identity, and non-attachment | Scott Nonnenberg
https://blog.scottnonnenberg.com/injury-identity-and-non-attachment
Injury, identity, and non-attachment. Two years ago, I was forced to reevaluate my identity. It was SXSW 2012, and I was having fun in Austin. A few days previous, I had just spent time with all sorts of cool Startup Weekend organizers from all over the world at the Startup Weekend Global Organizer Summit. With that over, I was making the rounds at SXSW, hitting party after party, exchanging business cards with people from all over the world. I put on a happy face, but I was deeply worried. I didn’t ...
