Great day for Ethan and the rest of the RGU boys practicing at Caldwell Golf Club today. Hope we get many more weekends like this over the winter.

Nerf are going to do guns from Fortnite starting with the always popular SCAR.

Of course my boys will go for the Fortnite choice, but I’ll stick with an Overwatch one when they come out.

Another notebook recommendation from one of my blog buddies. This time, it’s Michael Wade recommending the Dingbat journals.

I must resist ordering one now. Although, I will definitely consider one of these when my current bullet journal runs out.

I’m of the mind that web development has become overly complicated. Or maybe I just don’t have the patience for it anymore.

Ruby falling out of fashion?

Ruby is falling again on the TIOBE index.

It’s not a cause for alarm, but I will continue to look at alternatives to Ruby for the long term. Microsoft’s .NET is still something I would like to come back to and there are more opportunities for it as well.

While not directly related, I also did notice that Thoughtbot have made their learning platform, Upcase, free for all. An attempt to get more developers to use Ruby?
