Writing a Trello Bookmarklet with Async

I love Trello [https://trello.com/] and it seems like I use it for everything. Whether it's a project for work, a side-project on my own, a personal To Do list, or planning a family vacation - I probably have a Trello board for it. Although the built-in Search for Trello is pretty solid, sometimes it just doesn't give me what I want. For example, since I have so many different boards, I often want to be able to see all of the cards that are in my "Doing" lists across all boards. To accomplish t...


Moving Blog to Ghost and Azure

In an effort to make my blog suck less [http://www.hanselman.com/blog/BlogInteresting32WaysToKeepYourBlogFromSucking.aspx] , I figured it was time to get onto a modern blogging platform.

Create Node Task for Visual Studio Code

I love the new Visual Studio Code [https://code.visualstudio.com/] editor/IDE. It's fast, simple, lightweight, and an overall pleasure to work with. I love being able to just "open a folder" and work with files directly – all while getting great intellisense. One feature that is particular interesting to me is the ability to run Tasks [https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/tasks] from the IDE. These tasks can be anything from running gulp commands, to MSBuild, to most anything you can think of. Gi...
