    In response to a new version control system coming out, I have started Jiu-Jitsu. The real one where you roll around on the floor and your joints hurt. At least that’s the part I know after three classes

    Today was “bike to wherever” day in alameda county and we got at least one family to change plans, walk away from their car and hop on the bike by having a boisterous, joyous, bike bus and a similarly happy neighborhood energizer station. Feeling so great about that.
