#WordOfTheDay abstruse: difficult to understand, or hidden. Reminds me of "abstract", and also "obtuse". Some people enjoy making hard things even harder. Don't do that.

The mills have a place in our history. We can’t wish for them not to have existed without rejecting who we are today. We can’t reject the evil in the world without also rejecting the good.

Been working on the perfect breakfast sandwich for years. Tips: cast iron pan, lots of butter, shave thin slices of cheese using a vegetable peeler.

Amy got fresh ginger at the Common Ground Fair. So different than the grocery store stuff. Soft and mild, I ate a few slices raw.

2016, Starbucks HQ, my first gig teaching programming as a corporate consultant. I didn’t see myself doing this as a kid, but when the magic carpet shows up at your door, it’s awful hard not to take a ride.

I’m constantly improving my organizational skills, but only a little. If you’re going to have an interesting life, full of fun hijinks, organization is essential. But I organize to live, I don’t live to organize.

2015, preparing to teach Web Dev Bootcamp at General Assembly. How do you compress decades of experience into 12 weeks for complete beginners? Turns out it’s a lot like web dev. First things first; work top down and bottom up; plan, learn and iterate.
