StartupCTO.io is a podcast that Miles Matthias and I started a couple years ago as a means of capturing some of the great engineering + community conversations we're able to have as community organizers in Boulder, and share them with the world.

Send Ethereum to any Email Address w. YouveGotETH.github.io

I built a tool called You've Got ETH this weekend at the Dappathon.  It's a tool that allows you to send ethereum to any email address.  The idea is that it's more powerful to evangelize the ecosystem by sending Ethereum such that the end user has an incentive to figure out wallets, private keys, and smart contracts. Here's a demo video. Code is available via MIT Liscense at https://github.com/youvegoteth/youvegoteth.github.io/ Mainnet Read the article >>

Weekend Project: Transcri.pt

Weekend Project: Transcri.pt

One of my frustrations with podcasting at StartupCTO.io has been the lack of any easy-to-use, affordable, transcription tools.    It costs $1/ minute to transcribe audio to text. So I built something better.  Today I am launching transcri.pt - A tool that does transcription of text much cheaper than anyone else can.  The output is pretty good I think. Head on over to transcri.pt and Read the article >>

Slack For Communities

I'm really excited about the launch of Atomic Slack -- Atomic Slack is an add-on to Slack that builds features for communities of interest (as opposed to teams at work).  Their first feature is a daily digest of the most important messages on a slack team.

No mention of my blog or github. Overly pitchy, no human touch. Why's it fail the cold outreach litmus test? No customization. No mention of a common interest or connection. No Read the article >>

Call for presenters — Boulder Startup Week 2014 Dev Track

Boulder Startup Week is May 12 - May 16th this year. I am running the dev track. The session are as follows: All about Functional Programming - Functional programming relies upon the fact that we can define an entire system in terms of a pure, atemporal, stateless mapping from inputs to outputs, and this fact holds for us a singular promise: that it is possible, and desirable, to write programs Read the article >>
