Day 7 -- International Programmers' Day (01110111011011110110111100100001)

It's a big post today -- lot's to share!

Here's to all international programmers! As a tribute, I'd like to direct those interested to Khan Academy's Hour of Code Tutorial.

Speaking of international... my blog went international last night! Check it, beep delta.

Today also wraps up the first week of 2014, which means I've blogged seven consecutive days -- here's to me! I use the smartphone app Lift, which is a social habit building community. I love it and strongly recommend it to anyone who has made New Year's resolutions. In addition to Trying Something New for 30 Days (writing this blog), I am a member of the following groups in Lift:

Floss
Work on CCIM designation
Pray
Work on Grad school apps
Play Lumosity
Work on website (I'm building a website for the Davis Center for Portfolio Management at UD)
Eat Big Mac (... because I like to troll)
Call Brother
Watch Khan Academy
Everyday Picture (below)
Read Bible
Watch a TED Talk
Read one Wikipedia entry
Try Something New for 30 Days
Read for pleasure
Practice musical instrument (right now I'm learning the basics of harmonica)
Learn Spanish (I use either Rosetta Stone or Duolingo)
Meditate
Write in journal
Keep room clean
Cardio
Pull-ups (100)
Push-ups (250)
Complete all Lifts

And a special shout out on this day to +Mariah Douglas because she's a super hottie and we've been dating for a long time now. All my love, Mariahly!

TED

I found this TED video today by filtering for "courageous" and "best of the web." It is an intensely emotional talk at the city council in Fort Worth, TX -- Joel Burns: A message to gay teens: It gets better. Very moving, inspiring.

Here is the Wikipedia page for the 1990s and below is Portlandia - Dream of the 90s. The boys at The Nest (our UD house on Lawnview) and I will occasionally get in really 90s moods. For the Boys!
