Hi I'm Matthew McCullough. I'm at @matthewmccull on Twitter. I work at GitHub as a trainer and need to organize lots of information in order to write books like Presentation Patterns, the O'Reilly Git book, Gradle book, and over a thousand presentations.
Today's big ideas are:
- Discover
- Capture
- Create
- Process
- Search
- Curate
- Distill
I love things that synchronize seamlessly via a network or the Internet.
