	'occupy this', # got arrested for occupy nashville; that was cool, also a good exposure to self-organizing teams working under non-hierarchical (aka anarchist) principles
	'ruby hoedown',  #5 - also, home to the ruby hoedown, which @jm runs as a free ruby conference, awesome after-party at my house
	'india', # past 3 years I've spent 7 months travelling in india, top to bottom, east to west, dye artisans, gandhi sites, tibetan buddhists; would love to go back
	'vipassana meditation', # in gujarat 2 1/2 years ago learned vipassana meditation at a 10-day silent course; now meditate 1-3 hours a day; am ordering a mat for the office

	'emoticon', # OGC was not necessarily "Original Gangsters" of Consulting, though we'd allow it.  It was an emoticon.
	'rescue missions', # we made our loot on rescue projects
	'social problems', # while we needed technical skills, all the interesting problems are social -- workflows, code visibility, knowledge transfer, shitty management, fucked processes, etc.
	'github rules', # 15 at github 90% of the difficulties we'd see on our projects just aren't problems here
	'bugs tell us', # in some of the rescues we looked at the bug list first and learned that we could tell some surprisingly specific things about mis-modeled and mis-implemented software just by reading through issues;
	                # at github halp is telling us there are problems that we are too close to day-to-day to see ; orgs/users/accounts/billing has a problem that requires stepping back to determine what the issues might be
	'domain driven design', # DDD principles (get this book if you haven't already), can help us fix deeper problem areas like this (see also "split .com", "merge this together", "should team be a part of the app")
	'make room, fools', # here we need to make room for domain discussions, ubiquitous language, and somehow disseminating clarity about what our conceptual domain really is
	'tests are for the future', # we need to supplement tests as we work, as some core areas of the system don't have sufficient coverage to refactor or to detect important breakages; tests are more for the people after you than for you
	'fin' # thanks
