A letter to Mayor McGinn

This needs to stop. Now. I voted for you because I thought Nickels was a useless idiot. I don’t think the same of you, but—assuming you do not—I will vote-for, donate-to and GOTV-for anyone who repudiates this action.
thanks,
Aaron

For some reason, i feel like i am emailing santa claus. I’m saddened to hear that you’ve resigned.
You’ve been an inspiration to me for well over half my life. I wish you all the best, and if I prayed, you’d be in them.
You’re an inspiration to millions, and an incredible human being.
I hope to see a fourth act. Godspeed.

SB 5073 – Medical Marijuana
From: Aaron BrethorstDate: April 28, 2011 9:34:49 PM PDTTo: christine.gregoire@gov.wa.govCc: chopp.frank@leg.wa.gov, jamie.pedersen@leg.wa.govSubject: Please Sign SB 5073 Into Law–Don’t Veto Any of ItDear Governor Gregoire,I’ve been a Seattle resident for the past eight years. I don’t smoke pot, I work in the software industry, and I want you to sign this bill. I have friends who are cancer survivors who have needed and benefitted from medical uses of marijuana, and the act of vetoing this bill would do nothing but harm these wonderful people.
You’re stepping down in less than two years and will never have to worry about negative campaign ads vilifying you over this issue. So please, do the right thing and sign SB 5073 into law.
Thank you,

Jefferson Davis’ Inaugural Speech
The address was most notable for what it left out: any attempt to explain how a nation could possibly remain viable, let alone democratic, if it were founded on the principle that any constituent part might withdraw as soon as it found itself in the minority on an important political issue.

Core Story
What central story is at the core of you, and how do you share it with the world? (Bonus: Consider your reflections from this month. Look through them to discover a thread you may not have noticed until today.)
Huh? This question makes absolutely no sense. Fine, fine, fine: I’ll take a stab at it. Entrepreneurship, an acerbic nature, and a love of fine food.

2011: Stuff to learn
There are a few key things I want to learn a lot more about in 2011. In particular, they are:
- State-of-the-art Javascript: Backbone.js, Underscore.js, Coffeescript, and some more Sproutcore for good measure.
- JVM/JVM-alike: Scala and Android SDK (not necessarily together).

Defining Moment
Describe a defining moment or series of events that has affected your life this year.
Well, let’s see: my sputtering startup sputtered its last sputter, I spent a month-and-a-half afraid I was going to go broke and have to move back to MN, I started building up my business, and my business grew larger than I could’ve hoped for. Not too shabby!
