I've spent the last few weeks in my off-hours beavering away at a major software project, which I hope to launch this spring. Meanwhile, I continue to beaver at my paying job, with only one exciting deployment in the last six sprints, so things are good there. I also hope to talk more about that cool software before too long.
Meanwhile, things I need to read keep stacking up:
- The BBC's Peter Mwai examines "the fake UN diplomat and other misleading stories" coming from the Ethiopian government.
- Jill Lepore looks back to the Enlightenment, "when constitutions took over the world."
- Cullen Murphy looks back at his 2006 book and asks, again, "No, really, are we Rome?"
- Manny's Deli in Chicago had a 30-day mask challenge...that lasted two hours.
- A very cool 1964 model home in Michigan City, Ind., with all its original furniture can be yours for about $750,000.
