Started online grad school at Georgia Tech in CS and managed to launch a beta of my first product. http://www.thesnaffu.com
Turned The Love Game App into a physical product and produced a crowdfunding project which is live as of yesterday: http://PlayTheLoveGame.com/crowdfund
Sold our first 10 "Get Your Story Straight" packages to VIP customers for $500 each to help them maximize press and onboard them to the PRMatch Command Center & Press Room (http://prmatch.com).
Hosted my first virtual mastermind for publicity, called Publicity As a Path : Foudations of Transformational Mass Communication, with about 80 people attending.
Built The MemeScope, after waking up with a vision that there should exist an online kalidescope that uses recent news images as source material. Http://AnthonyDavidAdams.com/memescope
Have been doing yoga regularly, eating well, playing ultimate frisbee regularly.
Began conversations with Cher's former multi-platinum producer to collaborate on my first album of original music. (He and I cowrote a song a few years ago and performed with John Legend at a charity event.) also wrote the bulk of about 3 new songs.
Launched a publicity tour for my moms new book on leadership that debuted in every Barnes & Nobles. ( Http://DrJanetRose.com/media ) which led to her booking her first paid speaking at around $6k (speaker fee + bulk book buy) I built her brand over the last couple years and have been coaching her, so this feels amazing - she will retire as a school administrator this year and this work is her passion for retirement.
Took on a couple new davinci / polymath coaching clients (life, love, creativity, strategy, marketing, pr, etc) and stoked to watch them flourish this year.
Started successful negotiations with a new manufacturer after my factory for my patented CreditCovers skins for Credit Cards decided to breach our 30 day termination clause and just turn off drop shipping.
Built / archetected a marketing program, web site, toll free hotline and produced a book on TreeCare for SC Homeowners -- as a gift for my childhood best friends business.
After applying strategies above mention best friend used to get 6 figure credit lines at 18 (and then like any good 18yr old, defaulted) rebuilt my credit after some trouble in my twenties from starting projects on credit cards -- got issued a Venture Card at the "Excellent Credit" level and another card, with credit lines 10x what I had previously. Stoked to learn from his mistakes and leverage some really great, easy, legal strategies and feels amazing to have this cushion / tool available again.
Upgraded my relational contexts to where I am 95% less attracted to people who aren't available for the kind of intimacy I want -- this has probably been the "one wierd trick" that has opened up so much other flow and productivity. Watching how I would often optimize for relationships where I felt neglected or abused or unmet, and now spotting that pattern, extracting the gift the pain of those relationships brought me, and transcending it. I've developed a process I am now coaching people on that allows folks to use the relational space and conflicts hthat arise therein to literally reprogram their midbrain, gain insight and unlock tons of creative energy and potential.
Caught a great Phish cover band last night in Charleston, Sc - Runaway Gin
Great question, I feel like I got some shit done this month! A lot actually!
I Had got contract work from HN (Thanks HN) 8 months back. I Purchased my own office out of it in Jan. And soon will work on same contract from there.
What do you mean by purchasing an office?
I am from Small (3 Tier City) Of India (Rajkot). We do not have any co-working space here. I am planning to start a Hacker Space soon.
Coffee shops do not have reliable wifi here. Plus I am a contractor so I need proper Wifi to work over VPN,
Tax wise its not that complex in India. You can hire any CA and pay him approx 200$ a year and it can be handled easily.
I've stayed well on top of my consulting projects, already done preparing my taxes even! I made significant progress on my sideproject (implemented native mac, linux, and windows clients in addition to the backend!). Shameless plug: It's a filesystem-based time tracker (think dropbox filesystem monitoring + Machine Learning to automatically classify projects = no-hassle, fully automated time tracking) http://moonligh…
I launched Rocket Renegade . Developed in Swift. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rocket-renegade/id955229059?...
Very cool. Looks like it performs great from the comments. How was developing a game in Swift?
I've been working with Swift since it was launched in the Xcode 6 betas. It has been challenging. Working through all of the betas and going with Swift was probably an insane choice given that Swift was in such a state of evolution. Every beta would cause a sea of red flags. I'd dread having to level-up when a new beta was dropped, but I figured, might as well get it over with than wait until the GM hits and have things really be in a terrible state! My vote for the "best" error that I received during development was in some computational matrix code that calculates flight paths: "Expression was too complex to be solved in reasonable time." Of course, I read that as, "The math is making the room spin up in here."
However, I dig the language, and things have stabilized significantly now.

Awesome! Any tips for getting into the program? I'm trying to get in without a CS degree but with a programming and SAAS product management background.
Definitely check out the Google+ community here [1]. It's a fantasically active community. Great responses from students in the program. It is even frequented by Prof. Charles Isbell who is Associate Dean.

Thanks. I guess I'm about to blow my cover. :-) http://icon-sizerator.davidjpeacock.ca/ I know zillions of people have solutions for this, but it was a nice self-contained project.
Really cool, man! I like it :) good job.

What's the tiny, irrelevant, but useful SaaS app? Great username, by the way.

I got an alpha version of something we call FastBoot working for Ember apps: https://github.com/tildeio/ember-cli-fastboot FastBoot allows you to boot up your JavaScript application on the server, gather model data, and send the rendered output as HTML to the client. This allows search crawlers, cURL, and people with very slow JavaScript engines to access apps that were previously unavailable. I've had a fire in my b…
It's awesome to see you guys embracing server rendering, but it's incorrect to say most server-rendered Flux apps can only render one request at a time. If you're designing an isomorphic architecture, it's certainly a consideration, but I doubt any production apps have this limitation. A common pattern is to instantiate a new store for every request, to avoid collisions.
I guess the high order bit for me is that developers shouldn't have to worry about stuff like this—picking the "right" implementation of their app architecture. Ideally, everything just works out of the box. The harder it is to do, the less likely people are to do it.
