Pride Counts

Filed under: Nike — Maciej Matyjas @ 18:09 2010/08/17
Dear Sneaker Face,

Please accept my 'Humble Contribution' to your 'Esteemed Sneaker Blog'.

I would describe my feetware as follows:

One of a kind in the world, Nike customized sneakers (unless there is another person called Arunima who designed the exact sneakers, what are the odds?)
Created as part of a company summer event at the Nike Id store in Oxford Street. Designed from scratch by me. The delivery was delayed though, and some said that it was because they were held up in customs because of the excessive use of gold. I however feel that they have the appropriate amount of gold. Worn with pride.

Thanks,

@Arunimadk

Scaling Web Apps with Akka

Scala (programming language)

Akka is a powerful and rapidly evolving framework that can help you take advantage of multi-core hardware and cloud infrastructures. Moreover, its elegant syntax makes it really easy to introduce into your project.
How easy is it? During my talk to the London Scala User Group (LSUG) I was able to write up a simple web application with Scala, Lift, and sbt in about an hour. This app benefited from Lift’s CometActors on the front end and Akka actors on the back-end.
The code from the session is now available on Github. I will add an Akka Supervisor to this project when I get a chance, but its nice to have to real deal, original code up there [note: I have updated it for Scala 2.8.0 final]. My slides are available on Google Docs.

Thanks to Skills Matter for hosting me and the video of my talk.

Also huge thanks to @kingsleydavies for live blogging, @d6y for helping with syntax in Lift and emacs, @colinhowe for giving great advice, and @kengimel for being cool!

The slides are also on Slideshare as below:

Hoyas of the New School

Filed under: Nike — Maciej Matyjas @ 23:23 2010/07/19

Nike's Hoyas, also known as Terminators, are a touch of tough guy and a lot of grit. If you were gonna re-invent them in the present day, you'd throw a splash of bright on, because they never make them like they used to.

Polka Dots === Lucky

Filed under: Reebok — Maciej Matyjas @ 16:25 2010/07/09
The rumor is that Polka Dots beget luck. 

With three appearances on No Bobos, these dots are working for Naomi.

Let's hope sneaker luck transubstantiates into the Lotto, those monthly poker games, and Mr. Torres in the World Cup Final.
