Shower and change your clothes often (or daily even) Your significant other (who also works from home) isn’t your coworker — respect their time. Leave the house (even if it’s to aimlessly walk around Jo-Ann Fabrics). Don’t do house chores during work hours (because you’ll never remember to fold the laundry). Don’t do work hours during downtime (because you’ll never stop working). Have a special lunch at least once a week (order out, grill a hot dog). Hang out with your friends. Ping your coworkers just to say, Hey! Build a tabletop for the treadmill and walk 5 miles every morning1: This is how I survived winter. ↩

We spent 10 amazing days in Iceland, here’s our journey.

I keep a gist named yay.md. A secret, never shared and don’t plan to, gist. It’s where I keep screenshots of my personal yays.

Mom and I did the 1.3 mile hike around Thunder Mountain in Greenwich today.

I worked out of the SF Mapbox office last week and then hung around for the weekend. Adventure was had (along with cocktails, sunburns, and getting 10,000 steps).

A couple months ago, I was chewing on an idea for a slide for my FOSS4GNA talk and I needed to write it out. Knowing that The Pastry Box Project had opened their submissions, I worked on the idea and massaged it into something that I enjoyed.

A couple weeks ago I gave my talk Writing for everyone at FOSS4G NA. I had a great time! You can click through my slides, follow along with my notes, or watch the video.
