Recap: Ohio Growth Summit 2013
Last week I had the privilege of attending the 9th annual Ohio Growth Summit to sit in on valuable presentations and represent the Buckeye Interactive team. It was my first time attending OGS and it was quite a rewarding experience. After arriving bright and early, a light breakfast buffet was provided and networking commenced. We set up the Buckeye Interactive table and got settled in as the opening keynote speaker began our day. The day was full of presentations from several local speakers, networking, lunch, and sharing information at company [...]

Steve's Recap of CodeMash 2013
Last week I was one of the lucky thousands of developers, designers, and business software types to attend CodeMash at the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, Ohio. 2013 was the 7th year for CodeMash and it drew in technical types from all around North America (that’s right, even Canada). When tickets went on sale back in October the conference sold out in less than a minute, almost unheard of among development conferences. I was lucky enough to grab tickets for myself and a former colleague for our first CodeMash adventure.
Optimizing for Desktop and Mobile: A Build Responsively Workshop Recap
On July 9th and 10th, I attended the Build Responsively Workshop at the Quest Conference Center in Columbus.

It was presented by Sparkbox, a web development company out of Dayton, Ohio, and was sponsored by Github, Adobe, AIS, Rosenfeld, and A Book Apart. For those in the dark on what responsive web design is, it’s basically a [...]
Buckeye Interactive Blog Pausing for December!
I know what you’re thinking, “but you guys are doing so well!” The point is that we need rest. But most importantly, we need to focus and hit our goals. Buckeye Interactive has decided if we hit our goals this year, the whole team will be rewarded with a trip to SXSW! So the best way to make sure we do both is to hit the pause button of blogging for all of December. But to convince you with a take-away, here are some reasons why everyone should take a break this Holiday [...]

Startup Weekend Day 1: Who the Heck is Wil Wheaton?
I had absolutely no idea what to expect at Startup Weekend Columbus. Coming from the ambiguous “non-technical” background I wasn’t sure how my skill set would fit on a team, or if I would learn anything from the experience. Despite my trepidations the following is a recap of what I did learn on Day 1. The overarching theme of the weekend was as follows: “what problem are you solving.” The first speaker of the weekend, Wil Schroter was the first of many speakers that focused on this point: your business needs [...]
