Work / Career Ships

  • I shipped going independent. As of January 27th 2012, I left my shift in the agency world to have a go at working on my own.
  • Not five business days later I shipped a very enticing job acceptance to join Simply Measured, hands down my favorite job I've ever had. I'm employee #12.
  • We shipped the all new http://www.simplymeasured.com; a fresh, decidedly more grown-up face for a company on its way to big things.
  • We shipped Simply Measured's Freebie Report Marketplace, http://simplymeasured.com/freebies This helped better acquiant free users with how our subscriber product works, and overall helped unify our product offering.
  • I shipped a brand spankin' new Magento e-comm site for my friends at Peachtree Audio. http://peachtreeaudio.com/
  • On a whim, I signed up to partake in Seattle Creative Mornings' "Battledecks" event, a PowerPoint Karaoke showdown. I ended up shipping first place prize over some formidable opponents. :)
  • I shipped one of my favorite creation

Mr. Kilmer,
Thanks for your response and pardon my delay in getting back to you as
I collected my thoughts.
I appreciate you wanting to take thoughtful time for debate and
consideration on this very serious topic, but I can't help but be a
little underwhelmed at your commitment to improving the situation.
You voted 'no' on the Amash amendment. OK, the author of the PATRIOT

Which presidential candidate has the most US based likes on Facebook?
# for context, many marketing teams will buy cheap likes on Facebook by running
# ads in countires where US presidential elections don't take place.
# this can produce misleading counts of "Likes" when you visit their page.
# looking at only US-based likes will give you a more honest assessment of
# relative popularity of the candidates on Facebook in the US.
# but of course, YMMV. :)

Compression / low bandwidth / lower file size tricks with shapefiles / GeoDjango / GIS / Django
# put lots of SEO friendly terms in the title for Googlers / Stack Overflow crawlers like myself...
# basically, tricks to make pulling down shapefiles much smaller file size, ergo faster web sites
# control test was 1.2MB of GeoJSON for three polygon shapes...
