I played around with using the laser cutter to cut fabric, and that worked out really well. I've sewn up the two tops that I cut, and I'm looking forward to cutting a couple more.

Also, lots of progress on the Emacs Conference / hangouts organization front, thanks to folks like Samer, Ryan, Philip, Howard, and Alex! Emacs has such a wonderful community. Anyway, there's a Google+ page now. https://plus.google.com/108840863190686221561/posts

This week, I'm looking forward to more gardening and more cooking. Whee!

• You Don't Need a Wiki – Being Content with Your Software: Because it's all too easy to focus on tools (and the deficiencies of your current one) instead of seeing what really matters.
