Archive for the ‘Events’ Category. Laquo; Older Entries. Posted by Brian on October 22nd, 2010. Was last week, October 15, 2010 at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. The volunteer-organized event has grown from a 2-person team putting on an event in a 100-person capacity office/classroom to being a committee of passionate volunteers orchestrating an 800-person theatrical experience with a professional stage crew. At this Ignite, there were several stellar talks. I have two favorites. Where th...

Laquo; Focusing on the Fun. A Year and a Half of Dust. People Put People in Boxes. Always remember that you are unique. Just like everybody else. 8220;He’s the guy that jumps. If I took myself more seriously, I would insist that I’m not nearly some guy who jumps, but an astute software developer. It’s a strange feeling to be summarized by something silly you did instead of what you’re most proud of. Boxes are hard to escape. It was clear jumping was much more memorable and it was certainly a conversation...

Brian Shaler / A Year and a Half of Dust
http://brianshaler.com/blog/2014/01/08/a-year-and-a-half-of-dust
Laquo; People Put People in Boxes. 2013: A year of working from anywhere. A Year and a Half of Dust. I didn’t write a single post on this blog during 2013. 2013 was a pretty intense year. Not too intense to write blog posts I shared updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the year using various social networks. Lately, I have been getting frustrated with those platforms. Twitter did a much better job of connecting people in 2006-2008, when people posted less frequently (used the service more similarly)...

Archive for the ‘Code (General)’ Category. Laquo; Older Entries. Posted by Brian on October 16th, 2015. In building my personal computation. Proof-of-concept, one thing became clear very quickly: I needed a graceful and extensible way to manage service dependencies. One thing I wanted to avoid was a long list of services that needed to be installed, configured, and running prior to starting the application. I also didn’t want the system to be restricted by the services I chose up front. However, while yo...

Archive for the ‘Articles’ Category. Laquo; Older Entries. A Platform for Mashup Artists. Posted by Brian on October 18th, 2015. I make stuff move with code. When people ask me what I do, that’s what I say. I don’t say I’m a framework author. I don’t say I’m a systems administrator or database administrator. I don’t say devops or infrastructure. I don’t say development tooling. I don’t say optimization. What does this new landscape mean for someone like me? Rinse and repeat that process a few times.

Archive for the ‘Career’ Category. Laquo; Older Entries. Focusing on the Fun. Posted by Brian on June 8th, 2012. When I started my data visualization business. I re-evaluated what I enjoyed about running my business and what I didn’t enjoy. It turns out following that typical path to “success” would involve focusing most of my attention toward the parts I didn’t like. What would my business look like if I instead focused as much as possible on the aspects I enjoyed? Posted by Brian on June 6th, 2012.

Archive for the ‘Actionscript’ Category. Code And Beats: Music Powered Twitter Wall. Posted by Brian on January 2nd, 2010. I mentioned in a previous post that I was going to Code And Beats. I could’ve worked on work work. I could’ve worked on non-work work. But I didn’t do either. Instead, I experimented with some visual effects in Flash — combining video, audio input, and tweets. By 2am, here’s what I had come up with! I’ll post the code. Code & Beats: Music Powered Twitter Wall. Some additional details...
