Sunday afternoon with Tammy and kids. Buying a new washer and dryer. Feeling middle-aged. 😀
Do yourself a favor. Go to Day Block Brewing and get a beer flight and a pepperoni pizza. Crazy good on all accounts.
It’s my awesome wife Tammy’s birthday today!

Garrick van Buren: You don’t need a new tool. You need to commit to getting more out of the ones you have.
Yesterdays 1Password updates are great. Just one key thing missing — be able to have multiple vaults open at once in multiple windows.
Huge congrats to my friend Jim Bernard on his 3:21:34 finish today at the Boston Marathon!

Huge Impact of Linode Cloud Updates
I host all of my personal projects on two servers at Linode. Last week
Linode announced new “cloud servers” with SSD’s, double RAM and a new
chip
architecture.
I migrated both of my hosts over to the new servers that evening and the
performance impact was immediately noticeable. WikiApiary is the most
taxing project I run, and it was clearly much faster. This graph though
of the WikiApiary API response time is the most telling. So much better!

Considering high-end blow dryer as present for Tammy. Do folks that know such things consider these way better?
