What I’m Working on Now

In the spirit of Derek Siver’s Now page, here is what I’m up to at the moment:

• Preparing to start mentoring students through Thinkful next week!
• Laying the groundwork to divide my freelancing business between more typical agency consulting (WordPress, Shopify, others) through Snaptortoise and more app-centric and sophisticated development work through Apptortoise.
• Speaking at numerous JavaScript conferences, many of them internationally!
• Wrapped teaching a week-long Arduino class to kids through Saturday Academy.
• Working on lots of non-musical MIDI and JavaScript based projects in support of the talk I’m giving at most of these events
• Consulting and developing for numerous projects through my web development company Snaptortoise
• Working with the Strava API for a client project
• Working on several Shopify-based projects for clients as well
• Finally starting to learn and use React after putting it off for some time. I like many things about it and have strong reservations but other aspects, but recognize the industry at large is putting its attention and focus here, so I have to too!
