Steve’s GIF Library: Top 10 GIFs
Last summer at the Build Responsively Workshop we did a Skype chat with Ethan Marcotte, a designer who is best known for a) coining the term “responsive web design” and b) being quick with an animated gif. During the call he was asked to drop a few of his favorite gifs: “So random,” I thought, “yet so useful. Why waste my time with the written word when I can instead turn my attention to this revived relic of the Dot-Com boom?” Shortly thereafter I created an account on Reddit and started saving my [...]
Music that Motivates
Brad’s Music TRON: Legacy soundtrack “When coding, it’s nice to have a solid rythm that sounds techie, and thinking about a completely digital world gets me in the zone” “Billionaire” by Travie McCoy ft. Bruno Mars “When I’m in a particularly entrepreneurial mood, I sometimes enjoy a little “Billionaire” (Travie McCoy feat. Bruno Mars) for some inspiration.

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.

There are a lot of great services they offer over Grooveshark, iTunes, or Pandora. My favorite feature is the ability to share music easily. In the spirit of Halloween, I’ve shared my Halloween playlist with you. It has some of the typical horror [...]
