Clips from Hacker News Thread
Instead of our real launch blog post, my little “I should probably mention this on my personal website” post is the one that hit Hacker News. Nevertheless, people got the message. What I loved about CodePen was just being able to try out something really quick and simple. But the new interface makes me feel more like I’m building a website inside of a website. I’m hoping that trying out something really quick and simple is still perfectly well suited to CodePe...
Outburst
Just had a little trip up to my favorite city of Juneau, Alaska. So lovely. Here’s just one story from the trip. There is a Big Thing going on there right now which is essentially an impending flood that is going to happen any day now. It’s an “Outburst Flood” or GLOF (“glacial lake outburst flood”). The weather.gov page explains in one graphic: So there is the famous Mendenhall glacier. Mendenhall lake, formed by it’s melt, is like 30 minutes...

Email from Apple: We’re reaching out to let you know that the iPhone Upgrade Program is coming to an end. Thank you for being a loyal member. Awwww. Sad trombone. I’ve been on this program for as long as I can remember. Every year you just send back your old phone and get the new model, and keep paying a steady monthly cost instead of a big upfront cost. I liked that. … when it’s time for your next iPhone, we’ll make it easy to get it in a way that works for you, includi...
CodePen 2.0
Noting perhaps my largest personal career accomplishment, which is launching CodePen 2.0. Far more work, believe it or not, than the entire creation of the original CodePen. This isn’t the place to describe every detail of what we did and why we did it. If you’re interested, perhaps our Why 2.0? podcast or the What’s New? page. Instead, a couple of stories from the first week of launch. I was working on a demo with someone I’ve never met before: Dave Samaniego....
Choosing Movies
Almost surely, if you totaled up the number of hours of movie watching I’ve done and the hours of TV show watching I’ve done, TV dwarves movies. It’s not a conscious choice; just how it shook out for me. Via the internet, I “know” a couple of people who are consciously movie-only. Khoi Vinh does all these movie reviews and has more or less said he’s only got time for movies. Sean Fennessey, host of The Big Picture has said he only watches movies as well. Paraphrasing from what I reme...
