A settled nomad living on the edge of Appalachia. I love to listen to music, spend time with my family, and play sports. I'm lucky enough to write code for a living. I'm often accused of having no "filter" as I tend to overshare. I make beer on occasion and try to sample new beers whenever I can.

Do you sometimes feel like "donating" really isn't the same as doing the work?

By donating to a cause you are directly translating your normal every day work into work being done for a cause. It is a tangible way to give your job more meaning - by sharing your hard earned money with a group doing something you care about. You are trading your time for someone else who is expertly positioned to do the most good for your cause. It's just as good as volunteering; so don't feel like you aren't doing enough by donating. Just donate to the groups you KNOW are doing the work you care about.

With that said, I hope you will donate to Dress For Success who help women who are in a bad place become self-sufficent and to overcome all sorts of obstacles. Dress For Success literally helps women pull up their bootstraps and helps them change their lives, for the better, for good.

I'm donating both my money and my pride by preparing to run around in high heels. I'm not asking for your pride but I am begging for your money. Please, consider donating today.

I wonder what kind of training people imagine teachers should get so that they can engage a hostile in a firefight while herding panicked and scared children.

This is precisely why I don't like seeing the word terrorist used for, seemingly, everything. http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/national/article181358311.html

Today's laundry care tags are useless. You need a damned decoder ring to understand them.

Mucking around with @KeybaseIO - it looks pretty interesting. I'm always keeping my eye out for easy to use communications.

Just discovered the tribute band "Dark Pink Moon" a lady fronted Pink Floyd cover band. I dig their version of "Wish you Were Here" https://play.google.com/music/m/T5wbioldph7c5krv7746yjc3jfm?t=Wish_You_Were_Here_Cover_Version_-_Dar...

I guess college coaches need a color bearer and a guidon to help them find each other: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avvDkJW3NwU
