The first LPs (that's "long-playing record" to you children in the audience) that I ever bought with my own money were two used ones: "A Farewell To Kings," by Rush, and Boston's self-titled debut album.

I have been working in startup tech for over 25 years now, about half that time as a manager.

When I resurrected this blog, I wasn't sure what to host it on.

I mentioned in the last post, I've been playing around with OpenClaw, like so many of the Twitter tech intelligentsia who are hoping the Singularity doesn't hit before they can vibe-code a Salesforce replacement or a marketing funnel to make them kajillio…

I started this blog back in 2005, after I wrote my book for SitePoint.

In the most recent round of updates, Larz Conwell has done a shit-ton of amazing work on templates: making the templating system play nicely with various formats: EJS, Mustache, and Jade.

It's taken some time, a lot of late-night hacking, and tons of work by contributors like Daniel Erickson and Larz Conwell , but the Geddy Web framework is starting to grow up and become pretty fucking solid.

At a recent meetup, a guy in the community (a guy whom I generally have a lot of respect for) said one of the stupidest things I've heard in a long time (and that's saying something, given the silly shit I hear coming out of my own mouth day to day).

Some of the work I'm doing at Yammer involves writing JavaScript code that runs in different environments.

The last couple of weeks have been a blast.

I've just come back from a meeting at the offices of my new employer, Yammer, Inc .

Geddy is a small Web-app development framework for Node.js.

So I've posted previously about the embarrassment of riches that we have with Node.js modules, specifically Web frameworks.

Quite a growing list of Node.js modules and projects on GitHub.

I've been doing a bunch of stuff with AS3 at Slide, and as a long-time JavaScript guy, thought it might be interesting to record my impressions of the language so far.
