I've been using Alternote (alternoteapp.com) for awhile and really like it. It syncs via the Evernote API so I don't have to import anything and can access my notes on my phone with Evernote. I think they're making a mobile app to eliminate the need to use any Evernote app at all.

Docker addressed this last week at dockercon, announcing Docker Notary to securely publish and verify content.

I've had that book for over 10 years, but haven't read more than a chapter of it. I should give it another try.

It took me doing a reading group to get through that one. That was more my fault than the book, but GEB is real work, and having a number of people involved definitely helped me stick through the parts where I might have wandered off for brain candy.

These notes may help a little bit:

I think it took me four tries before I finally read it all the way through. Eventually the text on formal systems becomes quite heavy and that's where I stopped in my previous tries... once I got past that hump it was downhill all the way. Highly worth the effort; one of the best books I've ever read.

I'm in the same boat. It certainly isn't easy to digest, light reading, but some of the initial ideas seem very interesting.

I'm reading Consider the Lobster: And Other Essays. I forgot until I picked this book up again how much fun it is to read David Foster Wallace. Despite all the footnotes, he's very engaging.

Also, my girlfriend just sneaked Raymond Carver's What We Talk About When We Talk About Love into my computer bag the other day. I haven't read him in a long time, but coincidentally was just very recently talking to a friend about What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami, which is mostly unrelated to the Carver book, but also a really good read about his life of running.

Birdman also heavily revolves around What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.

Good luck. I would really like to read a book about your transition in a couple of years.

Yes, exactly. I wouldn't hire someone because they can implement fizzbuzz, but if someone fails to implement fizzbuzz I can't imagine that I would want to hire them.

This could be a useful chrome/firefox plugin. If you run this in your browser console, all that video will stop:

$('video').each(function() { this.pause(); })

I use Dvorak. I never bothered to maintain the QWERTY keyboard for vim movement. Now, it seems completely natural to navigate with the Dvorak mappings for h,j,k,l, etc. I can't easily navigate one-handed, I guess, but that is never really a problem.
