I did it! I wrote my first tiny little project in Go. It's not perfect. Far from it, but it's something. It's called Kogara and it's just a simple little link shortener built upon Redis and Gin, mainly because I wanted to learn more about both, as well as learn a bit about go. It actually seems to work pretty well. The response time on the requests is sub-millisecond with a local Redis instance. It's a pretty cool feeling. It's got a long way to go before I'd recommend it to any friends, but it's something!
Keep an eye on the repo for future updates!

Now this is a cool song I discovered on Chromeo radio on Google Play Music. It's from Penguin Prison, an artist I heard back when I was listening to a lot of RAC's remixes. It's called Don't Fuck With My Money, and it's pretty amazing. The music video was filmed in 2011, and it's set against the Occupy Wall Street protests, giving the video some poignant meaning to the song itself. Definitely worth a listen.

Wow. It's actually been almost a month since my last ttbp post. I thought it was shorter, but sometimes time just seems to fly away. Hopefully I can actually keep on top of it at some point.
