Jenn Lukas — Front-End Developer

Lucas with a “c”

I like that the credits on this poster make total sense swapped: Charlie Sheen is a shoe in for Winona Ryder look-a-like any day!
I would also totally believe that Corey Haim was Brandon’s girlfriend in The Goonies.

The Nerdary and other Updates

Yo friends!

I am now posting (at least) weekly over at The Nerdary about tech-related stuff, along with some other very smart developers (Mark Huot and Kenny Meyers).

Also, some new speaking engagements coming up:

1. I will be talking with some other Happy Cog folks at a Pencil to Pixel event, for AIGA Philly.
2. I am going to Berlin!! Yay! To speak at JSConf.eu

I’m very excited to head over to Germany. I’ll also be making my way up to Amsterdam after that, so maybe I’ll catch a few of you EECI folks up there!

Lastly, today I was featured at #9 on Mashable’s 15 Developer/Hacker Women to Follow on Twitter next to 14 very SUPER and SMART ladies. Totally rad.

Since I’m doing more dev writing at The Nerdary, I’ll probably be doing some occasional tech stuff here but also more talking about how Inception incepted fashion into me and now I can’t stop wearing my grandmother’s old scarves again, cause Juno looks so cute wearing them in the movie.

Also. Baseball!!

Dun dun dun….I love music videos with twist endings!!

Practicing for a 45 minute talk takes a long time!

…or 45 minutes to be exact.

Or close to it. If you’re rehearsing your talk while eating a cheese plate and watching the Phillies game, then it can take 2 hours. Or if your rehearsal is mixed with well-thought out feedback and thoughtful debate from your awesome coworker, one Mr. Mark Huot, then it takes closer to an hour and 15.

I’m pretty close to trying to get to that magic number, though. And really, really excited to be speaking at JSConf 2010 in DC this weekend!!

The conference was a blast last year, and put on by tremendously smart and awesome people.

Plus, I’m going to have that boat song in my head all weekend…which is quite alright in my book!
Pirate cruise!!!

Hope to see some of you folks there!

An Olive Branch

As much fun as judging people is – sometimes it’s not so much as the actual performance I judge, but more like wouldn’t it be fun to say things like “narwhal privates” and “white hot garbage”?
I would like to say I think everyone at Cogaoke was super rad!!
Even the Billy Idols!! Even if they didn’t sing “Dancing with Myself” – which is what I was hoping for.

My bad.

Truce?
