Improv comedy classes helped me a lot. Not even necessarily with spontaneity. They helped me build confidence. "I don't know what this situation is, and that feels yucky. But I've felt that kind of yuck a lot of times before

I'm a believer in these findings. I do wish that the model for learning improv in the private sector was different. As it is, adults have to move to cities where theaters are offering classes, then pay out for the classes (which can ru

This is truly a down moment, to be sure, but it's pretty telling that the site became too hard to maintain because it's written in old Perl. I'm not a Perl hater. I like Perl! I got my start in Perl and spoke at a YAPC::NA a

"Finite and Infinite Games" by James Carse. Makes me think a lot about the rat race versus a life lived for a higher purpose. My copy is pretty worn out from my carrying it around a rereading it. If you like graphic novels, the en

I call it "fill the tank." Drink a big glass of water every time you use the restroom. You'll be hydrated, and you'll have a built-in reason to get up out of your chair once in a while.

I got to take a tour of a little "Newseum" in the New York Times building that displayed some of the lead lines and brass matrices. One person on the tour asked if printers got sick from handling lead and our guide said, "Oh,

It looks like the main purpose of this repo is for open source project developers to open issues to get someone to help edit their projects' readme's. That's kinda nice!

This might be one of those (quantity === quality ) situations. What's that parable about the pottery class? The class is split in half at the beginning of the semester. Half A has an assignment to produce as many clay pots as possible,
