I hung out today (virtually) with Sava and Liana, and we chatted about the potential for using GitHub Pages to "reclaim your domain." I'm working on a book right now (omg, the manuscript is due, like, Saturday) about the very topic, so I'm frustrated and amazed how hard it still...

Travel (and Speaking) Kin and I traveled to San Francisco and to Toronto this week, then back home to Hermosa Beach. Holy crap, Toronto was cold. That's where I spoke at ChangSchoolTalks 2015.

At some point, I stopped arguing and started blocking. I blocked hundreds of randos who insulted...

Travel Nope. I was supposed to travel to Philadelphia on Thursday, but I got sick. I never get sick, but when I do, it’s often pretty bad. Needless to say, I spent part of yesterday in UrgentCare. I’m medicated now, and I hope, on the mend. Upcoming week: Hermosa Beach....
