Well this is cool. Figuring out the best route, then visiting the streets named after every day of the year throughout Europe. (Fair warning, it's a 'lightning talk' so the guy talks fast.)

Fiber Internet connection. ???
For the past couple days they've been stringing fiber along my street.
I'm wondering if I should look into signing up for it.

My midwinter Florida adventure
I began today to get serious about planning for my (mostly) annual midwinter escape to Florida.
I have two missions while there.
First is I have a "day job" assignment in Orlando. I'll be doing that first after arriving in Florida.
After the work is done I'll move on to a visit with my podcast partner Jeb.
And who knows what other adventures may happen before, during, and after.
More on the progress of this adventure in this blog. Subscribe.

MIT's Missing Semester online course
Over the years I've absorbed enough unix/linux ability to be able to stumble around in the accounts I use. Mostly for web development.
It appears that many MIT curricula put students into a similar situation. And this course is to fill in the gaps in their (my!) skills at using the OS from the command line.
Shell scripting. Useful commands that I'd never heard of. A great illustration of using piping and redirection to splice commands together. Also a great overview of using the version control system 'git' from the command line.
I'm only halfway through, and I've already learned a bunch of things that I'll use all the time.
