  1. Lost 10LD in an almost sure bet: taxi was pushed started & touching wires sounded the horn; but electric windows still worked. #peacecorps
  2. Totally Worth It: 40 min to download a 45MB PDF of wikipedias chemistry text book. But now my school has a chemistry text book. #peacecorps
  3. It's amazing how awesome a cold shower with no water pressure is when you know it's your last one for a while. #peacecorps #refreshed
  4. Leaving for six months with Peace Corps Response in Liberia in the morning. Think I'm finally all set and packed.
  5. #firefox web devs tools let me put the + in email validation regex. Sort of scary how powerful that is. But useful.
  6. cd . vs cd ~ Same amount of work. But one keeps you where you are and the other takes home. #cmdmistakes
  7. Got grandma's record player working. I find it amazing that physical bumps can produce such sound, but am not amazed at the MP3 codec.
  8. I just donated to #Wikipedia. Help keep it free! #keepitfree bit.ly/tDmpbI !fb
  9. Apparently 1c of whole almonds makes 7/6c chopped almonds. I intuitively & wrongly felt whole would pack less tightly then chopped.
  10. Sonoma Community Band Holiday Concert with Grandma: Sleigh Ride played by a live band always conjures up images of Teletubbies & fake snow.
  11. This is why I was always a fan of knex. A pure design challenge with none of the special parts in legos. sinker.tumblr.com/post/142670876…
  12. What I told the rose bush after falling into it: If you want to learn to ride a unicycle you have to be willing to fall off #unicycleLessons
  13. Ansel Adams Full moon in Yosemite National Park. Surprise visit from east coast friend Kearby! Hiked 4mi today going to try 7 tomorrow.
  14. @ilifi I'm doing just a 6 mo response tour. Seems so small compared to 3 years. But looking forward to a different adventure.
  15. Application for passport and Liberia visas sent off today. Going to be a #PeaceCorps Response math educator starting Jan 17. #herewegoagain
  16. @OpenCurriculum Agreed, but profusion of competing products means content creators are spread thin and maybe none will reach critical mass.
  17. The Relativity of Wrong: or what happens when you try to teach Issac Asimov about science. chem.tufts.edu/AnswersInScien…
  18. Stephen Colbert interviews astrophysicist Neil Tyson. Well worth watching. Hilarious and engaging. youtube.com/watch?v=YXh9RQ…
  19. @keondra and talking in person >> then all the rest. Just sometimes to much distance separates us. The world is still rather big.
  20. Paid full prince for 8 passport photos. Never making that mistake again. Realized too late that 5min on #Gimp would save me $40.
