Ryan Freitas: 35 Lessons in 35 Years →
My father always told me that the day we stop learning is the day we die. I wrote this as a sort of preparation for my 35th birthday last week. Some of these are poignant, others are simply trite; I attribute the latter to my growing sense of sentimentality as I age. That, and I need an editor.

twiteffiency.com or whatever it is
Obviously you know about what happened with the whole twiteffiency.com thing today on twitter, if you don’t i wouldn’t worry it’s really nothing.

Building developerTO
I’m not going to get into what developerTO is in this series of posts. The long and short of it is that it’s going to be a developer meetup type thing with a focus on pairing, sharing and solving problems.

Live Alive
I don’t remember how old I was, I was definitely younger than 10 because my parents where still together. I don’t remember the circumstances leading up, but I somehow managed to get my dads Stevie Ray Vaughn Live Alive tape on the player.
