I’m currently reading through the book Vi IMproved – Vim and am using this post to shared my notes should anyone be interested.
See notes in my gist over at github (I would have added it below, but there are some formatting issues with the current theme I’m using).
The goal is for this post to be a one stop shop for some of my commonly used/helpful command-line commands. It’s for personal reference, though perhaps you could benefit. List will be updated.

I’ve been using Google Voice for about a week couple years now, and I thought I’d share a few things I’ve learned along the way… things related to using Google Voice with Verizon Wireless. I wanted and hadn’t seen any resources out there regarding the Verizon + Google Voice duo, so I figured I’d put one together. This is a compilation of various things I’ve found on the Google Voice forums and from other sites.
Just a Minute – In the Heart of a Child, One moment… Can Last Forever is a book written by Wess Stafford, the President and CEO of Compassion International, that shares 68 stories of ways people have impacted children or were impacted by others as children. It’s essentially a collection of those single moments that help shape us as humans… for good or bad. Compassion International is an organization whose primary ministry is the sponsorship of children in impoverished areas through monthly giving and letter correspondence. I currently sponsor an 8 year old boy in Bolivia, and I have a great respect for the ministry (who knows… maybe I’ll apply for a job there someday). Given this info, I was naturally excited to hear the stories shared.
Overall, I’d say I liked the book. While I didn’t find all the stories really fascinating, there were definitely parts that made me smile, parts that made me cry, parts that convicted me, and parts that made me appreciate the caring and encouraging environment in which I grew up. (more…)
