A ‘free’ online learning experience
I’ve blogged about various experiences of online learning I’ve taken part in over the years and wanted to reflect on the most recent one. Coursera’s three week Introduction to Ableton Live. Learning more about learning is one of my personal goals this year. And I find writing out loud to be useful tool in thinking.… Continue reading A ‘free’ online learning experience
The week ahead 23 Feb 2015
First, I’ll note that even taking the time to write these short ‘note to self’ type blog posts each week takes time and is harder to do than I expected. Like so many priorities, the long term important things often battle with the short term urgent things. And that’s in a culture where working open… Continue reading The week ahead 23 Feb 2015
Weeknotes: 30 Jan 2015
I don’t want these weeknotes to be a complete ‘done list’, as we have enough of those internally. This just a quick reflection on the extra objectives set for the week. I moved outside into the MVP garden office (it’s still looking mostly like a shed). This was thanks to the magical powers of powerline… Continue reading Weeknotes: 30 Jan 2015
The week ahead: 26 Jan 2015
I should have started the week by writing this, but I’ll do it quickly now anyway. My current todo list. List status: Pretty good. Mostly organized near the top. Less so further down. Fine for now. Objectives to call out for this week. Bugzilla and Github clean-out / triage Move my home office out to… Continue reading The week ahead: 26 Jan 2015

One month of Webmaker Growth Hacking
This post is an attempt to capture some of the things we’ve learned from a few busy and exciting weeks working on the Webmaker new user funnel. I will forget some things, there will be other stories to tell, and this will be biased towards my recurring message of “yay metrics”. How did this happen?… Continue reading One month of Webmaker Growth Hacking
When ‘less than the sum of our parts’ is a good thing
Here’s a happy update about our combined Mozilla Foundation (MoFo) and Mozilla Corporation (MoCo) contributor dashboards. TL;DR: There’s a demo All Mozilla Contributor Dashboard you can see at areweamillionyet.org It’s a demo, but it’s also real, and to explain why this is exciting might need a little context. Since January, I’ve been working on MoFo… Continue reading When ‘less than the sum of our parts’ is a good thing
New Google Sheets: publishing a single worksheet to the web as CSV
With the switch to the new version of Google Sheets, the option to publish a specific worksheet and then access that as a CSV file has disappeared (hopefully just temporarily). In the new Google Sheets, I managed to publish a worksheet as a CSV by piecing together answers from here and here. This is how… Continue reading New Google Sheets: publishing a single worksheet to the web as CSV
The immediate value of working in the open
I’m both excited and a tiny bit nervous about how “open” Mozilla are about the way they work. As I’m getting to know the Foundation, and the projects and priorities, and to make sense of what exactly I’ll be doing here I’ve been reading lots of Etherpads. If you don’t know what an Etherpad is,… Continue reading The immediate value of working in the open
