A Mighty Wind – One of my favorite movie scenes The scene of Eugene Levy standing in the grave for the album art on "Calling it Quits" still stands as one of my favorite comedic movie scenes of all-time; the sort where you can't describe it without laughing. I figured with 2016 being over it was worth sharing a Mitch Cohen moment.
So You Think You Can Freelance?
So You Think You Can Freelance?
The life of the technical worker has never been better; they have strong salaries, low unemployment, challenging work, and modern black t-shirt benefits like ping pong, stocked kitchens, and flexible working hours. That doesn’t mean it’s perfect though and the media continues to detail the upward freelancing trend in the marketplace predicting 40% of the workforce will be freelancers by 2020.…

My 2016 Annual Review
My 2016 Annual Review
I decided to take a cue from James Clear and write my own Annual Review. As James states: “The process reminds me to look back on the previous twelve months, celebrate my victories, evaluate my failures, and hold myself accountable in public.” I think it’s a solid idea that will take my consistent internal dialogue on self-performance and put it to paper…assuming I print this! So the format is…

What's a Consistent User Experience?
What’s a Consistent User Experience?
In tech, we have all mostly moved on from the days of projects based work and now speak in the language of software products. We have our product lines, product road maps, product backlogs, and planned product features. If you’re in that type of environment you likely leverage personas or user stories to describe your type of users which you then bring in when planning the user experience…which…

Gist Series - Methodologies: Agile, Scrum, and Waterfall
Gist Series – Methodologies: Agile, Scrum, and Waterfall
The Gist series came about from a Senior Design course I’m teaching as an adjunct at the University of Minnesota’s Computer Science department for the 2016-2017 academic year. The focus on that course is to have the team of students design and build a software project while partnering with an industry partner, in our case Microsoft. Just like in my day job, I’m there to assist them through…

Teaching Tip: It's what to do right, not what to do wrong.
Teaching Tip: It’s what to do right, not what to do wrong.
Today while driving I was listening to the Barbell Shrugged podcast, it’s been around a few years and while it generally focuses on CrossFit I listen for the episodes when they hit topics like Olympic weightlifting, coaching, or self-improvement. Like this one! The Art, Science & Psychology of Teaching Technique w/ Doug Larson – Episode 227 –> https://t.co/uOruawbUmy pic.twitter.com/7OtLSEiisR —…

Domain Driven Design - 10 Years Later
Domain Driven Design – 10 Years Later
I’ve been an avid podcaster since its inception and before podcasting I would web stream my favorite radio shows like This American Life or download the files and transfer them to crappy MP3 flash player. Ah the memories of the days before the iPhone. I finally caught up with a software engineering radio pod from May of 2015 where the topic was reflecting on Eric Evan’s classic text Domain Driven…

Fresh snow makes for great snowshoeing this morning. Betty doesn't have the tech we do so she learns to follow in our tracks. #winterweather #activerecovery #nokomis (at Minneapolis, Minnesota)
This was my 3rd snatch from last weekends meet. This was my second meet and a fancy one because it was my first in my very own singlet; yeah I've borrowed singlets before. Anyway, 3/3 on snatches and a pretty video of 114kg which was a competition pr. #hashtags #TeamMinnesota #sexysinglets (at CrossFit 1080)
The Best Apps to Run a Startup From Your Phone - WSJ
The Best Apps to Run a Startup From Your Phone – WSJ
The recent story in the WSJ about the best apps to run a startup from your phone with is certainly a smile-inducing title. If only there was an app for smart hiring that didn’t screen scrap until they get it working (I mean really), business model canvassing, and accurately predicting market trends. All of these applications and sites are wonderful and they do allow us to be far more efficient…

MBA Homework - An example of the 20 minute paper
MBA Homework – An example of the 20 minute paper
Last week it warmed here in Minneapolis and I felt inspired to do some spring (wishful) cleaning in my Google Drive. While doing the file purge/reorg I came across a paper from one of my last MBA classes, Strategic Management. Strategic Management is a classical business course and the intention in my program was for it to act as capstone course where you are able to combine the past few years of…

AWS's use of Gartner
AWS’s use of Gartner
AWS recently came out with a short product marketing piece that highlighted Gartner’s cloud rankings from October of 2015 and AWS’s first place ranking in 4 cloud subcategories. Those working in the cloud space know of AWS’s strong position from both offerings and market share so who is the post for? The answer lies in the source, Gartner, who is akin to the Angie’s List for the Enterprise.…

Checked out the opening, I think, of the ice castles. Some 20,000 pounds or tons of ice (really wasn't listening). A shit ton of ice and an ice slide I'm riding down. #giddyup #icecastle (at Ice Castles MN)
