I need a daily meditation practice

because I don't realize how much stress I'm holding until I stop to release it.

Ignite Boston

O'Reilly and Google put on a good show tonight at "Ignite Boston". It was like open mic night for geeks. 20+ people got 5 minutes of show and tell time. I put on a little slide show about my redistricting work. It was cool. Some of the things people talked about were just plugs for something they were selling, but counted as new technology in some way or another so were ok. A couple were incomprehensible.

I got the good validation that people complimented me on presenting good stuff and asking questions about it. After every set of 4-5 little presentations they would open up to group questions and I got 2 questions and there was 1 other about one of the others in my block. Yay! People like my stuff! Now I just need to convince a few million other people and we'll make it law.
