Terminal_’s Rules of Game Development: A retrospective
Terminal_ is a game that Evan Conway , Max Feldkamp, Mike Gold, Julian Delfino, and myself worked on during the winter of 2012-2013. I’ve since left the project, but I believe that Evan and Max are carrying it forward despite having day jobs. That winter, I had the role of Product Manager, and came up with the…

Happy Birthday, Greta Dohl
For those of you who are offended by sappy love things on the internet, I’m not sorry, because it’s totally up to you to keep reading this. Greta, I’ve known you since we were two new faces on a path in the woods, you: fourteen, northwoods, energetic. Me: sixteen, wandering, timid. I was fascinated by…

Reflecting on my English Major
I wrote this paper as part of my English Capstone Experience, which I enjoyed immensely. If you’re attending Lawrence and thinking about an English Major, you might find it interesting. I’m proud of the voice and style. It’s also something I want to reference in my next post, so I figured I’d put it online…

HS Day 69: Party at Wall Street
Wednesday night I wandered around after Hacker School looking for somewhere to eat. I found myself in Little Italy, and promptly seated myself at a restaurant that seemed the proper balance of cheap and classy. $12 for a bowl of pasta and a glass of wine? Yes please; it was delicious. I think I ordered…

HS Day 67: Getting back on track
It’s been a week since my last blog post, which is the first time I’ve missed posting here since day 3. I’d been feeling somewhat out of it since last week, though, and I’ve been having a hard time fighting off distraction and sleepiness – signs that I’m feeling a bit depressed. With only two…

HS Day 52 .. 56: Greta’s Visit
HS Day 52: Empire State Building Greta and I took the subway to Hacker School together. There’s a strict no-guests policy, so she spent the day wandering around Manhattan while I programmed. I’ve started in to the Project Euler problems. I’m (as of day 55) on problem number 24, at a rate of two or…

What are Javascript, AJAX, jQuery, AngularJS, and Node.js?
This post is addressed toward people who have little to no experience with JavaScript, Node.js, or their associated libraries, but are interested in learning what they are and aren’t. Another student at Hacker School asked me to explain the difference between Javascript, AJAX, jQuery, AngularJS, and Node.js. Let’s start with the basics: JavaScript JavaScript is…
