Notes

All my thoughts and jots, with the most recently updated on top.


Vermouth – Turns out I might be a vermouth guy. I first tried it in Seville at a place called Bar El Comercio, where we stopped for churros.

Why Use Hexadecimal – From a reddit comment :

Conan in Baltimore – On my way back from a trip last month, I stopped in Baltimore to catch a Conan show.

Two’s Complement – Two’s Complement is a way to represent positive and negative numbers in binary. It’s useful because we want a way to represent each number’s inverse within a limited number of bits.

Overheard – Things I’ve overheard in passing and couldn’t help but jot down.

Tracking books with web hooks – One of my favorite things about small projects is the way in which their constraints can inspire unexpected solutions. You might expect a simple design to limit the room for creativity, but in my experience the opposite is often true.
