Facebook Developers Meetup NYC (part 1)- Dave Morin

Last night Dave Morin, Senior Platform Manager at Facebook, beamed in from WWDC to kick off the first Facebook Developer Meetup in NYC

I will try to post the rest of the videos some time later, so stay tuned for Q&A with Mark Zuckerberg.


On behalf of all attendees I would like to thank Amit Gupta for coordinating the event and Kristian Hansen (of Cresa Partners) for providing the space.

UPDATE: I would also like thank Dave Morin, Mark Zuckerberg, Meagan Marks, Kevin Colleran, Brandee Barker, and all the other Facebook folks that helped out.

Myspacers Know How to Cut and Paste

Last night I had a mildly heated discussion on “real users” with Nate. I dont have time to get into the details of our discussion, but for some reason I cant get one of his comments out of my head.

Nate was trying explain the fact that Myspacers know how to use CSS and therefore they know more about how the internets work. Just because these 18 ppl know how to use CSS well on myspace, doesnt mean that the vast majority of myspacer do. The rest just know how to copy and paste the code, know what CSS is!

The following came to me on my way in to work today:

Just because I knew this code growing up:
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, B, A, select, start.
Didnt mean that i knew how Contra worked.
It was just a quick fix for getting more lives

Anyways, I cant wait for the innonate conference that will be held on the Westheimer farm. All myspacers are welcome. (no knowledge of css required, but you must promise that you are over 13.)

[UPDATE: Thanks Charlie for providing the correct Contra code]

Flow AND Me AND You AND Stowe Boyd

I just came across this amazing presentation Stowe Boyd gave at Reboot 9.0, and needed to share it ASAP

I plan on watching it a couple of more times before posting my thoughts.
A lot of his points hit home pretty hard.
