News n’ Links for January 9th

Lots of going on this week, so I decided I’d aggregate all of the links I’ve been sharing into one, easy to find post.

I also have some non-WordPress related news:

  • Episode 5: Bitcoin or “If I had a Time Machine” | TIL Podcast: After a short break for the holidays, @tilpodcast is back and we tackle a big (and confusing) topic: Bitcoin.
  • The Goodhouse Foundation:  My brothers and I have started a non-profit organization to help fund research for Multiple Sclerosis (M.S.) and Cerebral Palsy (C.P.), both being afflictions we see everything in out immediate family. Right now we are trying to raise enough money to make the foundation official; this includes legal fees and fees for filing as a corporation and obtaining non-profit status. There is a Paypal link on the site for donations. We are very close to our goal and any little bit will help. Thank you!
