Google Maps Pokemon Master - Strategy

Google Maps Pokemon Master – Strategy

This is amazing! Absolutely love it and love how Google has advertised it. I’ve spent some time catching some Pokemons on my phone (haven’t been out to see any yet. Will visit Empire State Building to see if I can see my Pokemon). One day, spend a LONG time trying to scroll around randomly around the Pokemon Lab (Googleplex) to pick…

2048 Game: Strategy and Thoughts

http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/2048/

Games should all be like this. 2048 is a game with 4 simple controls: up, down, left, right. It is played on a 4×4 grid with numbers on it. After swiping (or key press) in any direction, if the numbers hit each other, it will collide to make the sum. This opens up one extra space and a LOT more playable moves. After 2 plays, I got addicted. After sending it…

“Just work. Just work you know? Don’t wait.”

I’ve started following Humans of New York about an year ago. What captured me was not just purely the photos that Brandon was taking, but his ability to meet all these people. There’s a reason why it’s not just photos of New York but Humans, because behind everyone is a story.

The more I…

Knowing your crowd (FAPA talk at ITASA)

I find that speaking at conferences have one main hump to get over if your workshop topic is one of the following things:

1. Not making food

2. You’re not a celebrity (local, Youtube, international, etc.)

3. It’s extremely serious

4. Your audience are all short-attention spanned college students who are in a workshop at 10 in the morning and possibly after a night of partying

This weekend, Jenny…
