function at fast firm: instrument/net developer. i’ve already had the prospect to lead on two giant initiatives on account that I joined fast company in October 2014. I wrote the entrance-finish code (code that methods and codecs data for a browser to existing) on our new cellular web site and am at the moment top the front-end for a top-secret however much greater venture.
Titillating fact: It usually surprises those that I once had a go as a figure skater. I’m a reasonably large man now and no longer exactly graceful, however up except I was about 13, I was doing competition “ice dancing” (my mother’s most well-liked identify for the game). I handiest ever wore all black outfits, and stole the hearts of judges right through the area. I actually have a rat tattoo on my ribcage and am a major fan of Mariah.

1. demise Magic by means of well being
I’ve been taking note of well being because their self-titled debut, but their sound has at all times been pretty experimental. For me, it may evoke the picture of a chainsaw trying to reduce a Donald Judd sculpture. Their newest, despite its title, is very pop-y and dance-y—in particular tracks like L.A. appears. The band has been a major affect on producers of the pop sound for the prior decade and loss of life Magic is a observation that they’re listening again.
This came up as a really helpful app for me a week or two ago, and that i’ve been pretty hooked on it ever seeing that download. I’m a sucker for puzzle video games and excellent design, and it deals both. The UI is stylishly 8-bit and the sport design combines elements of basic journey video games like Zelda and Pokémon with quick-paced puzzle video games like Bejeweled and candy Crush. I have fun with that there are not any in-app purchases (which I to find tasteless) or ads, letting a consumer focus on the sport.
3. Limetown
an incredible fan of interview and news podcasts already, I just lately began exploring other genres. I came across Limetown, a new fictional podcast performed within the mode of an investigative journalism series a couple of city in Tennessee whose population disappeared a decade ago. As of writing, simplest one episode is out and its high manufacturing values and compelling story have me excited for the next one. It’s additionally enjoyable to take heed to a style that is new to me. It’s a new chance to ask: What makes this work?
