September ‘10 Refresh: Final Meeting

Monday, September 13th, 2010

Refresh was always something that I wished would be a strong community-driven group. People would step up on a regular basis to share what they knew, as well as to learn from others. This happened to some degree, but it always felt like a handful of people leading and others following, which I never cared [...]

August ‘10 Refresh: Meet, Talk, Drink

Monday, August 9th, 2010

I will have talked to the Build Guild gents by then so we can talk about what that means for the group if people are interested. I had a lot of fun whipping out the laptop and showing some stuff off last month, so I’d like to encourage that from others as well. Need some [...]

July ‘10 Refresh: Same old, same old

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

We don’t have much in the way of interest in any particular topics this month so I’m just planning a simple meeting to discuss whatever is on someone’s mind. I’d be happy to talk through some of the topics previously discussed like Better Understanding of TypeKit, @font-face, and the move towards accessible web font usage [...]

June ‘10 Refresh: Mobile Web/App Design & Dev

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Let’s meet and talk about web-based and native smart phone application design and development. With Apple releasing the goods on iOS4 and new devices hitting the market soon, it’s a good time to talk about what’s coming and what people are excited about.
We can also talk about the life of a designer and developer [...]

May ‘10 Refresh: Transcendent CSS & Housekeeping

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Having not heard much in the way of topics or discussion for this month’s Refresh I figured we’d congregate at the Taproom and brainstorm some topics and ideas and get a bit more organized about the next few months. I think this will improve the group, potentially bring out more people and make organization and [...]

February ‘10 Refresh: The revival

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

A new year, a new focus. Would like to have a simple roundtable type discussion as we ease back into things. I’ve been crafting a list of potential topics in the forums and hoping others will contribute as well. I’ll post an update once we determine the topics hopefully by the end of this week.
Details: [...]

July ‘09 Refresh: Version Control & Processing.js

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

We mix it up this month at Refresh Louisville with 2 presentations, each having nothing to do with the other. That’s how we roll. First up is yours truly speaking and presenting about version control, specifically Subversion. Followed by David Yeiser with a discussion about Processing.js, an open programming language to program images, animation, and [...]

June ‘09 Refresh Meeting Recap

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

At the last Refresh Meeting on June 30th I talked pretty extensively to a small handful of people at the BBC Taproom downtown about my journeys to An Event Apart in Boston in late June and also a tiny bit about Facebook Connect. It was really nice and I want to extend a thanks to [...]

June ‘09 Refresh: An Event Apart Boston

Monday, June 29th, 2009

It’s been a busy month and some of the resources that have been helping me organize have been out of commission this month and so here we stand. It’s now June 29th and I still don’t have a venue to meet at to give any kind of presentation and most people aren’t even aware that [...]
