BRYCE DOT VC: Ten Years of Innovation Highlighted in One Night:

brycedotvc:

On the morning of September 11, 2001 I walked into my living room, flipped on the TV and saw scenes playing out in NYC that I will never forget. Both local stations and cable outlets were a buzz with speculation, stories and facts as they became available. As I drove to my office that morning…

Oldie but a goodie. Very poignant observation of how far technology can come in 10 years. Rediscovered via timehop

“Even in my darkest haze I always seemed able to post a little “Guess who smiled for the first time today?”, “Woohoo. Crawling!” or “Will there ever come a day that I don’t smell like vomit and Cheerios?”, whereas I can’t say the same of the giant box of stuff that will go in the scrapbook (one day, dammit!)”

I found this fun little script on my super old blog: a command that looks at your most frequently used unix commands. Here’s mine:

hgwells:~ benny$ history|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf "%5d\t%s\n",a[i],i}}'|sort -rn|head
   52   coffee
   41   gst (git status)
   30   cd
   29   hlogs (heroku logs)
   28   l
   28   ga (git add)
   26   gd (git diff)
   25   httperf
   25   gc (git commit)
   22   gpom (git push origin master)

Looks like I spend most of my days in git!

“ScoutingNY ventured into the Brooklyn Army Terminal’s Building B to take some photographs of the rarely seen interior. Building B was used up until the 80s as a military loading dock with a rather impressive and expansive interior space which is still very much intact today.” (via Brooklyn Army Terminal’s Building B | Doobybrain.com)
