This was the week of video-processing! I cut the livestream recording into talk segments, spliced in close-ups of the screen when available, and added a short call-out with people’s names. Now the videos are up at http://j.mp/emacs2013videos . Worth the time and effort! I also spent some time helping people out with Emacs over IRC, Skype, and Google Hangouts. I like it, and I’m looking forward to turning more of these things into shareable resources.

I really enjoyed the pacing of this week – it felt like there was plenty of space for the things I wanted to do. I had a wonderful lunch conversation about friendship (blog post tomorrow). I wrote a lot, too. Work was great, of course! It’s fun knowing how to pull the pieces together.

Next week, I’d like to follow up on some of the ideas that came out of the Emacs conference. I’m also looking forward to helping Peter Stradinger with Emacs. W- and I are learning Japanese in preparation for a potential trip, so I’ve been listening to lots of podcast lessons. I’ll be scribing at work this week – exciting!

I’ll be sketchnoting FITC next next week, so things will be busy. Good to prepare for the crunch. =)
