Wow. So, last week was CodeMash – every MidWesterners favorite tech conference. Back in the fall, I submitted 4 talks to the CFP. Much to my surprise, they accepted 3 of them – an 8-hour “Precompiler” workshop, and 2 1-hour talks. Well, IMHO, I kicked ass in all three of them – especially my new […]

Well, it’s the first day of 2015 and that means it’s time to reflect on the last year and set some goals for the new one! 2014 was a year of significant professional growth for me. It was a lot of hard work, maybe more than I wanted to bear at some points, but I’m […]

Back in May, I gave what may have been my most successful talk to date at self.conference – Getting Sassy with CSS. The room was packed, I got a few laughs, and nothing went horribly awry. Fortunately, this talk was also recorded! And now here it is for you to enjoy! This intro to Sass […]

They wanted to switch things up a bit, so the topics were on a wide range of things mostly unrelated to JavaScript. They asked me to discuss OOCSS. And so, in under 8 […]

This year I was fortunate enough to be able to attend RailsConf for the first time in my ~7 years of on-and-off Rails development. It was an awesome experience overall, especially because I was joined by 13 of my remote, Articulate teammates! Articulate Co-Working Space Since the conference started on Tuesday, we decided to arrange […]

This year’s annual Women of CodeMash photo Last week I was fortunate enough to attend my second CodeMash conference in Sandusky, Ohio at the ever entertaining Kalihari waterpark resort. It was a blast – as expected. Many old friends were seen, and even more new friends were made. Many new things were learned and shared. […]

I’ve been in the web development business for just about 7 years now, but this has been the first year when I have finally felt like this is where I belong. In the past, there had always been thoughts in the back of my mind that maybe this wasn’t for me, that I’d be better […]
