Could you share any lessons he taught you about how to properly deal with the "technical sidekick"? I often encounter them in web consulting and I'm curious to see what Phil's advice on the topic was.

Echoing this! Young-uns (or not so young-uns) - go fucking do it! Kids are awesome, but once you have them, achieving an extended adventure like this becomes seemingly impossible. At least until they're grown up.

His book on the same topic is absolutely enlightening and surprisingly enjoyable to read, despite the sobering topics. Being Mortal. http://www.amazon.com/Being-Mortal-Medicine-What-Matters/dp/...

Wow. What an amazing individual. And what a terrible tragedy and loss for humanity that he didn't get a full life. After reading his writing I am very saddened to hear that he never got to write his book - he is an amazing writer and

Castaway . Reinforces notions of self reliance, practice makes perfect, the need for companionship (whatever the source), determination, and healthy eating habits! I love the image of Tom Hanks when he's turned into the lean and mean

I heartily second this recommendation (Being Mortal). It is very well written and thoughtful. In fact, when my wife gave it to me, I wasn't even interested in end of life issues - who wants to read about death in the middle of winter?

Quit eating sweets of any kind - over a month in and going strong. Started reading every night before bed again - trying to read two books / month in 2015, despite a very busy schedule.

I have a pair of those omni-reflective gloves - they work really quite well for any kind of outdoor exercise in the winter (cycling, hiking, etc.). If you're body is sweaty and warm they warm up quick and stay fairly dry.

Would you be willing to share the HTML for your wiki page? Just looking at the table of contents, it seems really useful for those of us trying to learn vim compared to the normal cheat sheet that looks like a periodic table...

Off topic, but that sticky navigation at the top is ridiculously large / tall. It seemingly takes up 1/3 of the viewable browser area required for reading the actual "content". Crazy. (NOTE: Browser width must be at le

I have a Torker Unistar with a 20" wheel and that's been perfect to learn on. Depending on your height, the seatpost usually comes pretty long, so you may have to cut it down with a hacksaw to get some flexibility on seat level.
