   Knowing that he would be treated unfairly and seeking that treatment just the same precisely to expose that unfairness makes me respect him even more.

   I'd add here it would probably be a military tribunal, locked under the pretense of protecting state secrets, but they don't seem to be having a good time of it prosecuting the 9/11 defenders. Still, expect surveillance and g

    Even if you don't have source to show, if your back-end experience includes Node and you can converse about it freely and intelligently, I think you'll be fine. Maybe you could write a blog post examining some confusing element of

    My father worked as a hydrologist doing very similar work! It's funny, when I first heard him tell me he used Fortran, I immediately thought "typical slow-to-change state government!" etc etc. Only subsequently did I realize

    I'm actually a dyed-in-the-wool Node/js acolyte (which I used for the scraper), but I've played around with Python, and I'm sure it would be worth learning as a second language (I don't count my very-out-of-date Rub

    I always love passing a moontower, in part for its history, and in part for its role as the subject of a great Dazed and Confused quote: "Party at the moontower!" So evocative of old, sleepy Austin.
