EW patterns by Brad Frost

For years, the first tool I reached for in the early stages of a site’s development was Omnigraffle. Then I discovered a case study on the work of Brad Frost, and his “Atomic Web Design” posts and code library. This is going to change the game.

Frederick Startup Community Talk

I started noticing the Frederick (Maryland) Web Tech community on Meetup a year or two ago thanks to their great discussion topics. One of the organizers is Paul Wilson. He recently asked me to speak at the Frederick Startup Community Meetup on October 24th.

At around 7:35 pm, seven years ago today, I sent an email to the then tiny Squidoo team that we were live and things were working. Here’s a look back at what’s happened since.

Rocket Surgery Made Easy

A while ago, Seth recommended I pick up a copy of Steve Krug’s book, “Rocket Surgery Made Easy.” I read it in a day and immediately began conducting usability tests for Squidoo. Now I’ll be speaking at Refresh on what I learned.

Frank Gruber invited Viget CEO Brian Williams and me to speak at the recent Tech Cocktail Conference in Chicago. Brian and I co-developed a talk on “9 Tips to Profitability: How Squidoo Did It.”
