Recently in the Harvard Business Review, Wyatt Jenkins of Shutterstock shares some thoughts on how their product benefits from experimentation.

An outsider may venture to assume that Robby Russell, the founder and chief evangelist at Planet Argon spends his every waking moment helping foster creativity among his team whilst ensuring that he helps make things happen in the studio. While that most definitely is the case, there is much more to him than just that.

While those of of us who get the opportunity to work with him on a daily basis know and understand his drive to be an active participant in the local community, his philanthropic passions are easily overshadowed by his extensive Ruby on Rails resume / endeavors.

I'd suggest you take a look at the latest interview that Omakase conducted with Robby. This interview sheds some light on Robby and his true philanthropic passions.

David Smith shares his thoughts on mobile apps prompting people to enable push notifications.

While checking out the Wistia blog, I came across this post that piqued my interest. It resonated with me since I have been taking care of most of our remarketing campaigns lately (sorry if you are inundated with kittens now). I hate how tracking URLs look. Filled with utm_source, utm_campaign and such. Not a clean URL by any standard. However, this is what we need to use to track these campaigns. A necessary evil, I suppose.

What Fresh URL does is delete the tracking code after those tracking services have registered their information. This gives your visitors a nice clean URL if they are moved to share the page. This prevents false page tracking and just makes the internet a nicer place to be.

One of our clients, Trail of Bits, has released Javelin... an automated spear phishing and watering hole attack assessment product.

We've been helping them bring this idea to life this past year and are quite excited to see where this goes.

Great episode of The Talk Show where Jason Fried joins John Gruber to discuss the recent rebranding of 37 Signals to Basecamp, the simple secret to success in business and why DHH doesn't particularly care for fajitas. Queue it up on your next commute.

Quinn Slack shares his team’s experience with AngularJS…

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Congrats to Linda on raising over $200k for this.

Happy New Year!
