My TEDxManitoba Name Badge

Made with lasers!

I had a great time at TEDxManitoba. It was incredible. I feel super-lucky to have had a chance to lend the tiny bit of help I did.

If you get a chance to attend a TEDx in your area don’t miss it.

My Favorite Leonard Cohen Songs

I’m only a casual Leonard Cohen fan, I hear songs, I like them. But the ones I like usually rapidly move to songs I love. Here, in no particular order, are my favorite Leonard Cohen songs.

This ones for you Lance. :)

While we’re on the subject, here’s one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs. ;)

Suzanne

Sometimes when I listen to Suzanne I have to remind myself that someone wrote this song. That is, it didn’t just spring up from nowhere or always exist. But every time I listen to it I’m impressed. It’s beautifully written. Which isn’t hard to say — it’s a classic, right? — but still, it’s beautifully written.

Colemak Progress

My attempt at learning to type using the Colemak layout is still in progress and going well. I briefly considered switching last night but I think I’m going to keep building up my typing skill in it for a few more days at least. It might be next Monday at the latest that I go cold turkey.

Here are my latest stats from Master Key. My practicing was briefly interrupted by a trip to NYC but I’m now at a comfortable 30 words per minute. It took a while to get there from 25 though. Check out the log. :)

Should I write this on Twitter?

Probably not is usually the answer. Which is why I’m writing this here. On my blog. MY blog. You should ask yourself the question too some time. For variety try substituting Twitter, or Facebook, or Instagram, or whatever. It’s a fun game. :)
