Skipping the gym this morning for a meeting. Internet, if you don't see me at the gym tonight, you are welcome to reach out and slap me.
Built something I'm proud of this evening. Looking forward to sharing it soon.
@RandPaul Can you point to a medical system where more competition has led to better care for more people at reasonable cost? @BernieSanders

Been thinking a lot about modern command lines and calm computing this week. It's going to be an exciting year.
