We ran into an issue requiring us to send an action from our Ember controller to a component rendered within its template. A surprisingly difficult task due to the compartmentalization of Ember's Components, and the frameworks emphasis on "data down, actions up".
Fortunately we ran into this post by Sam Selikoff and the ember add-on it has inspired, ember-component-inbound-actions.
We didn't end up using the add-on due to the overall simplicity of the solution at hand, but it was so good we just had to share!
Thanks Sam!

We’ve been working on a project recently in which our designs called for a hover dropdown menu that did not close until the user clicks outside of the drop-down. Creating something like this in jQuery and in a Ruby on Rails app would have been a no-brainer. But I quickly discovered it wasn’t going to be quite so straightforward in our new Ember app.

Don't discourage jargon use in your domain. Embrace it. Teach it. Invent it. Help your users learn it and find chances to use it.
For years, I have been convincing myself that we need to speak in non-industry terms with our clients so that we don't alienate them. Now I am left wondering if we've just created a new problem.

in general the report found that young and educated people are attracted to Portland because it’s a 'place where people come to live, recreate, and do business—differently.'
There isn't a week that goes by that I don't wonder if I would have been able to help build a company like Planet Argon in another city. There's something in the water here.

A short story about how a seemingly harmless blog post by the folks at 37signals may have impacted the future of Planet Argon…or maybe it didn’t.

AKA: Planet Argon's Year in Review 2014.
This year, we asked everyone to compile some of their favorite things from this year. We decided to release the results with a website (surprise!) and showcase a little about each of the team's favorite things.
Our fellow front-end dev & designer, Jack Bouba, put together some beautiful illustrations to showcase each category.
