My kids kicking down some bluegrass

This post is sans geekness, unless you consider kids picking some serious bluegrass of the geek variety.

Many of you know that my kids have been picking bluegrass for the past few years. Last night they put on a recital at the local coffee shop and invited friends and family to come down. The amount of love in that room was incredible.

Feel free to share!

Gists are a great way to share code snippets. You can create them on github, and just like all code repos, they are versioned and backed up...

You can make your code look as pretty as this:
