// Date.now() is supported everywhere except IE8. For IE8 we use the Date.now polyfill
//   github.com/Financial-Times/polyfill-service/blob/master/polyfills/Date.now/polyfill.js
// as Safari 6 doesn't have support for NavigationTiming, we use a Date.now() timestamp for relative values

// if you want values similar to what you'd get with real perf.now, place this towards the head of the page
// but in reality, you're just getting the delta between now() calls, so it's not terribly important where it's placed

# Thank you Austin!

When we first came to Austin to start [MakerSquare](www.themakersquare.com), we were excited to dive into a growing tech scene with an entrepreneurial spirit. Austin is one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S. and we were happy to be in a position to help it grow. Over the past ten months we’ve graduated over 50 developers and currently have an additional 40 students learning Ruby on Rails & JavaScript. People have come from all over the world to take part in MakerSquare, and are leaving with a solid start to their development careers. 

Looking back and reflecting on what got us here, we realized we would be nowhere without the support of the Austin community, and for that, we thank you. Austin is a special place to start a company. On behalf of the 56 alumni, 40 students and 16 staff members at MakerSquare, thank you, Austin. 

Thank you, [Josh](http://www.twitter.com/joshbaer) and [Capital Factory](http://capitalfactory.com/), for hosting a meetup literally every day of the week.

Go to Bitbucket and create a new repository (its better to have an empty repo)
    git clone [email protected]:abc/myforkedrepo.git
    cd myforkedrepo

Now add Github repo as a new remote in Bitbucket called "sync"
    git remote add sync [email protected]:def/originalrepo.git

Verify what are the remotes currently being setup for "myforkedrepo". This following command should show "fetch" and "push" for two remotes i.e. "origin" and "sync"
    git remote -v

#How I built an audio book reader for my nearly blind grandfather

Tweet this - Follow me

Last year, when visiting my family back home in Holland, I also stopped by my grand-parents. My grand-father, now 93 years old, had always been a very active man. However, during the presceding couple of months, he'd gone almost completely blind and now spent his days sitting in a chair. Trying to think of something for him to do, I suggested he try out audio books. After finally convincing him -- he said audio books were for sad old people -- that listening to a well performed recording is actually a wonderful experience, I realized the problem of this idea.

####The problem with audio devices and the newly blind. After my first impulse to jump up and go buy him an
