“Unfortunately, most of the [git] “tutorials” I’ve read get mired in details and...”
– I’ve been delving balls to the wall with git lately. I understand it’s highly technical, but that doesn’t mean users are. This speaks to my mental state.

WatchWARNING: THIS MIGHT MAKE YOU DIZZY
After seeing a friend’s tweet about diy bike camera mounts, I remembered I had this clip laying around. It’s from that time I felt like I was turning in to a fatty at Google, and decided to go on a long bike ride to prove to myself I wasn’t overdoing that whole free food thing. After some investigation, I figured out this part of the journey...

Rome
I was really tired the first night from a lack of sleep, and I woke up in the morning with the flu. I didn’t get to see the sights, but here’s a picture of a sweet car in front of an embassy.
Florence - What a wonderful city.
I arrived around sunset, and after dumping my bags in my room, I met this guy Tom in the computer room. We were both traveling alone and in Florence for the same duration, so we decided to stick together. We headed to a place called Kitsch for aperitivo (the Italian equivalent of Spanish tapas), but not before Tom found another Brit named Ian smoking on the terrace. So, we three headed down the...
Venice
Charming, but not nearly as fun as elsewhere. Venice was basically built as the European equivalent of Las Vegas, and it does show through. The city isn’t full of culture and interesting cafes, but rather, souvenir shops, and restaurants. They all look the same making it incredibly easy to lose your sense of direction.
Still beautiful though. I went out and wandered the city, then took the...
I fell in love with Budapest, who would have...
I wish I would have stayed 4 days in Budapest and 2 days in Prague, but of course hindsight is 20/20. I’m def coming back if I’m ever in the area. [should be duly noted I’m traveling waaaay in the off season so these cities are much quieter than during the summer. how do I know? I was one of four in my hostel.]
I took the night train to the Hungarian capital, and spent two and a...
Prague… eh
I stayed in Prague for a few days. It wasn’t my favorite city. I’m not sure if it’s because it had been hyped up by everyone I’d talked to, or because I saw soooo many bogen Aussies among other foreigners, or what, but I wasn’t the hugest fan. I kind of felt like I was being suffocated by tourist luring activities the whole time.
A highlights included the city tour,...
Seven Falafels, Art in the Most Peculiar of...
I stayed with Lisa in Berlin, ah, I could live here forever, or a few years at the very least.
In case you’ve never been, or haven’t snooped around on wikipedia about the modern history of the city, a short history of Berlin in the past 50 or so years.
post WWII to 1989 - The area surrounding the Berlin wall isn’t the most desirable, immigrants with little money move into the...

last few snippets of Switzerland
I keep finding little reminders here and there of my time in Züri. The last few things.
I went to a young artists exhibition in Winterthur. The art was really quite impressive, and it was in a space called City Hall, an old factory with a huge open space on the top floor. At the end of each night during the weekend, they had a small concert. I got to watch Captian Mustachio and his sidekick Pedro...
