Weekly review: Week ending June 8, 2012
| weeklyI departed quite a bit from the plans I sketched, but I’m happy with the way that the week turned out. I spent a lot of my discretionary time thinking about Quantified Awesome, learning how to design without going straight to code and implementing a few of the ideas that I’d been thinking about for a while. I’ve also been spending some time digging into Emacs. There’s always so much more to learn.
Our experiment with eating more vegetables is going decently well, too. I cooked a large batch of vegetable curry today, and I’m getting the hang of putting things together without worrying too much about recipes. Progress…
