Wow! Surprising lot of things done this week. Went to Jade's party, helped W- go shopping for a coat, baked lots of cupcakes for Hacklab's relaunch, and dusted off the code for Quantified Awesome. =)

Next week, I'll be wrapping up my main consulting gig, working on more code, and voting in Canada for the first time. Yay!
