Gun Control means Hitting your Target

I went to 4-H Shooting Sports club with my son today, and shot a .22 rifle for the first time in 30 years. Once I got the rifle sighted in, 4 of 10 were within a bullet's diameter of where I wanted to put them, and on the single target, all were within the innermost circle.

Gun control means hitting your target! w00t!

Open Data

Are you not a coder? Or are your coding skills rusty, having moved on? No matter! You can still contribute to open source. Open source is only one part of a program. The other part is open data. I'm encouraging people to contribute to OpenStreetMap. We're running OpenStreetMap mapping parties all over the world. All skills taught! What's important is your willingness to contribute to an Open Data project, and location, location, location. We can only map where you are.
