A Sound that Quakes.: Parks and Recreation: Thank... →
asoundthatquakes:
I used to babysit a house full of smart, awesome girls. They played pirates, staged elaborate kitchen science experiments, and read books by the case-full. For half an hour every evening, we sprawled out on the couch and tuned in to the ongoing exploits of a myriad of makeup lacquered, fresh out…

Git Is Simpler Than You Think
nfarina:
It was about one year ago that we switched to Git. Previously, we used Subversion, through the Mac app Versions, which (rightly) holds an Apple Design Award.
I made the executive decision to leave our comfy world of Versions because it seemed clear that Git was winning the Internet. There was much grumbling from my teammates, who were busy enough doing actual work thank you very...

She was cute.
Maybe too cute. When I leaned over to talk to her, I wouldn’t have been offended to hear another passenger mumble, “She’s out of your league, pal.”
But this wasn’t that sort of opening line. The girl sitting across from me on the train had a Samsung Galaxy S (something something, I…

Employment!
It seems I’m very lucky that my industry isn’t aware there’s a recession - I had 3 job interviews lined up within a few days of being laid off; all very exciting opportunities. All of them provided the things I need: challenging work at the leading edge of its technology, market salary, and exciting product(s) that will get in front of a lot people quickly.
I even conducted a...
Florida for a Wedding
Last week I went to Sarasota, Florida for my high school friend Andy G’s wedding. My first bachelor party (although I have been to bachelorette parties), eating fried gator, getting slizzered - good times.
One of the beaches was apparently made of crushed quartz - the sand is pure white and cool to the touch even on a warm day. It adheres to itself like baking soda so it doesn’t get...

Onward and upward.
3… 2… 1… funemployment!
This has been a very grownup month for me. Moving to my new place, getting homeowner’s and disability insurance, buying furniture, having electrical work done and fixtures installed, planning to fly out to yet another friend’s wedding next week, and culminating with my very first layoff!
Of course, I’m not going from one job to zero. In a way, this will...
