Using voice commands while on the road and testing my daughter’s fine work and posting to this blog.

The power is still out here, has been for more than an hour now. However, I am not going to let that stop me from posting this!

Taking a short break to sit by the fire and make s’mores. #familynight

Trying to take Travis CI for a spin to auto-update this blog for me. 😀

Just a quick note/reminder… look at improving this blog workflow using Travis CI per this documentation and this post. Also, check out this iOS app.

Please don’t judge too harshly, this is a (perpetual?) work-in-progress!
