Pushing code to the public at work has its own ceremony. Multiple times a day.

In this video we discuss changing keys in analog samples and I’m totally right about Spinderella not aging.

There are no words to fully describe the scope of my jealousy for your awesome work environment.

Thanks, Anne! We’ve hit a good pocket of having talent in a high-demand but also typically highly portable field, so we’re able to dictate most of our (ahem) “process details” as long as we keep delivering good products. It’s a good time, most of the time. If our minds or hands fail, we’re screwed.

Next week’s project has me working on a new Content Management System. As ever in the development world, if it’s an acronym, someone will make a dumb name for it. To do so is basically a Development standard.

The culture and habits of workplaces and work groups has caught my attention lately. Development (and Ruby in particular) have a strong beer culture that verges almost on tradition at times. We go through a lot of it, it’s fairly public, and we know people are more creative in their problem-solving when their brain has been loosened up from its default grooves.

Are there any traditions in the kind of work you do?

Edmonton Symphony Orchestra - 60th Anniversary (unprocessed and outtakes)

Today was a pretty awesome day. Most are. These fine folks were there for a practice session but were otherwise entirely at my disposal. The first photo in this bunch shows off the big ‘60’, the large version of which will appear in the 2012 season book for the Winspear Centre / Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.

Hey Doug, whatcha doin’ tomorrow?

I think there’s going to be a harness of some sort. If I die, remember that I was the blackest most beautiful swan and it was perfect.
