       I had three topics I wanted to cover today, and ended
       up spending about an hour thinking about what I was
       going to say and which resources I was going to
       include. This was too long, and the end result was
       still very rambling, but I think I'll get better at
       this with more practice.
       
       
       0. try to not say "uuuuhhhhmmnn"
       1. be lazy (software carpentry)
       2. flipside of "publisher's block" (git-annex)
       3. visiting another country (windows 8 release preview)
       
       
       
       As usual, I didn't know what I was really trying to say in 0, and
       here's a really good overview of what I meant.

       Jaron Lanier's _You Are Not A Gadget_
       URL:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6683549-you-are-not-a-gadget
       What I mention in the video is not at all the main point of
       Lanier's book (which is quite good!), and in fact, his book is a
       critique of (over) digitization. Nevertheless, I'm only pointing
       out that there are redeemable aspects of an increasingly digital
       artifact producing life, such as preservation.

       where I go into more depth about "information overload".
       
 (HTM) git-annex
       Excellent project. The technical details is that when you "annex"
       files, they are renamed to long hash of their contents (bit rot
       resistant!) and stored in a
