Hello Weebly!

Tue, 22 Sep 2015 22:21:07 +0000

The Web is amazing. As a kid, I made countless websites for every hobby, organization, and cause I could think of. Animorphs Club, of which I was the only member? Check. My aunt’s small business targeted only to local dentists? Check. My school, church, and Boy Scout troop? Triple-check. While 12 year old me loved […]

Adventure is out there!

Mon, 10 Mar 2014 17:50:21 +0000

After 8 incredible years at Mozilla, the time has come for me to discover new ideas, meet new people, and explore more of what’s out there. There’s no other organization or community quite like Mozilla, and I feel honored and lucky to have called it home for so long. I can’t overstate how much Mozillians […]

Joining Mozilla Labs

Tue, 29 Jan 2013 19:49:44 +0000

I’m happy to share that I’ve recently changed roles at Mozilla, joining the Labs team to help some of the cool experimental projects there reach their potential. Since its first experiment in 2006 with the Chromatabs extension for Firefox, so many great ideas have come out of Labs over the years, and I’m excited to […]

My first half marathon

Tue, 29 Jan 2013 06:04:45 +0000

The best photo of me running that has ever been or will ever be taken. Two weeks ago I flew across the country to run my first half marathon at Walt Disney World. After 6 months of excitement leading up to the race and many weeks of seemingly constant training runs, I crossed the finish […]

Hello, running.

Sun, 30 Dec 2012 05:48:47 +0000

Early last year, I decided to try out running after never really having done any athletic activities before in my life. I downloaded a neat Couch to 5K app for my phone and was initially quite successful in going from barely being able to run at all to running several minutes at a time. I […]

Mobile World Congress 2012

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 13:43:04 +0000

Last week I went to Barcelona to attend Mobile World Congress for the first time. It was incredible for several reasons, most importantly how all of our products came together to tell one unified story: the Web is the platform. You can’t talk about one of the products without it leading directly to the others: […]

Coping with Turbulence

Sun, 04 Mar 2012 10:20:21 +0000

I started flying regularly when I got involved with Mozilla in 2006, and back then I couldn’t stand flight turbulence. Every little bump or dip would startle me; I’d grab the armrests and wish for it go away. After a few flights like this, I decided that it was something I should be able to […]

mozilla.dev.marketplace

As the Mozilla Marketplace project has begun to take off, we want to make sure there’s a dedicated place for discussion of planning, features, policies, and other topics. mozilla.dev.marketplace has been around for a couple months, but due to a bug with content not being synced to Google Groups, we were holding off using it. […]

Add-ons in 2011

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 21:56:59 +0000

This weekend we said goodbye to an action-packed year, and I thought it’d be fun to think back on all we accomplished in Add-ons in 2011. Firefox 4 Shipped A critical release for many reasons, Firefox 4 introduced a completely rewritten and redesigned Add-ons Manager, including the interactive discovery pane (“Get Add-ons”), automatic add-on updates, […]

That Time of Year

Mon, 03 Oct 2011 04:03:40 +0000

It’s beginning to look a lot like a new blog theme. I have a good feeling about this theme and hope it will last at least a year before I start to dislike it— me, less than a year ago Actually, it only lasted a few days before I started to dislike my previous gradient-tastic […]
