In terms of the chair Justin has been sitting in, there’s more than one – several actually – and they’re different each time we record a show. Sandy bought all new furniture after moving into our new house, all of which she made sure was comfortable – otherwise, I would bitch about it incessantly. Me at the furniture store: “This chair sucks! Why am I even sitting in it? Who would make a crap chair like this on purpose?! Were they HOPING to induce pain? Was that their sadistic goal? F*ck it, I’d rather sit on the floor or even on a bed of nails. I hate this place. Can we go now…? Sandy: (sighs)

“Do people listen to us?” Sure we do ! When I see that “New techzing episode” notification in the morning, that suddenly becomes best day of the montht 🙂

Think Jonathan is right about Nugget project discussion. So much to learn from real examples like that. You have my vote.

On the other side of tech – what type of chair is that one that Justin is sitting in and proclaims at half of the show that it’s extra comfortable ?

Keep on the good work guys !

I was riding around on my mower listening to this episode and got to thinking about me, and the types of things that block me when I’m developing, not just for deployment but in general. Anyway I liked that segment and thought I’d let you know.

Headed to Spotify shortly for some music … got any suggestions? 🙂

Thanks for the offier, I’ll talk with you offline about gamification

@jason: Maybe a bit more like Joshua: “would you like to play a game?” 😛

@Danilo I’m guessing your first Justin is meant for Jason 🙂 If you would like to have a chat with the Nugget member who is looking to gamify the work place let me know. Re the javascript error… wow this is such an old theme and WP installation at this point, we really have to get that upgraded at some point!

The idea of the math diagnostic tool sounds very interesting. The idea made me imagine something that can analyze how someone uses a tool (software in my imagination, but could be physical tools with machine learning and image/video recognition) and suggest where to go within the app, or what to look for so they can “level up” if they have a low level of aptitude in the tool (or the concepts used by the tool), but if someone seems more advanced, tell them they can change the tool settings for “advanced” mode.

Justin: I really like the name of the Nugget Nudges.

RE: gamification: At the company I’m working at we’re trying to figure out what we should try to have people work toward as part of their on-boarding process as well as their on-going usage of our product.

During the discussion about designing the workflow for Math Academy and wondering why the hell there’s not a mockup SaaS company called Mockiavelli 🙂

An aside: I just happen to be visiting the site with the browser dev tools open, and it looks like there’s a JavaScript error in the jquery.highlight.js file, which appears to be the use of a reserved word (class) in that script file:
