AFAIK if you keep your eyes closed, it doesn't unlock.

Also, its still an improvement from when cops borrow your thumb. At least this way, you have less chance of getting hurt.

I have two versions

* Simple text file. My terminal pops up every hour or so and asks me write whatever I want to. what I type goes into a simple text file that I review at the end of the day. Its pretty effective way to know where my time is going.

* I have a physical journal that I write the tasks I'd like to get done & cross out whatever was done (may be add some notes or leftover things to do). In scrum world, this would be your backlog.

Its being doing great for the past year or so. YMMV

Never underestimate the power of stickies and a wall. I'd do a very simple do/doing/done online board along with it when remote co-workers were involved.

IMO, Comparing between scrum and kanban is pointless. As long as you have good periodic retrospectives, you'll find the team correcting itself to what works the best.

Good job! Getting something out is always tough. I guess this is still WIP but I'd recommend putting out some info on why I should log in. It's tough to give someone my email when confronted with a simple login box.

I wouldn't worry too much about the name. The idea is pretty cool. I'd love to know how you're dealing with listicles and tone of the blog-posts (but again, don't want to share my email at this stage).

If you're open to more features, the other way around from podcast to blogs would also be a nice.

> I was thinking about: 1. Supplying the blogger with an HTML snippet for easy embedding in the blog. 2. Re-scan your blog daily and produce a new audio file, if changed.

I'd recommend #2. Preferably something that monitors rss / atom feeds. I'd worry about updates/changes after figuring out how the monitoring of the feed works.

The site is pretty.

Unclear on what to do after I see the list of representatives. Perhaps some resources (or links that lead me to resources) that show me the representative stance and best way to influence would help out. The map, address and hours are already pretty helpful though.

Also, it wasn't really obvious what benefit of signing up if you just click the sign-up link the top. Perhaps advertise on the sign-up / login page as well ?

My wife's 28. She's still hasn't freaks out with the terminal but when she's free, she picks up on python. For her the "Learn To Automate Boring Things" and Derek Banas videos were helpful.

I'd also recommend joining few communities of fellow learners (ignore any age differences, everyone's cool) and try to do few group projects.

I hear open source projects are always look for help. I bet if you're upfront about your extreme beginner situation but willing to help, someone will take you up and definitely mentor you.

I initially used to do it because that what all the cool kids were doing.

Now I'm starting again to use it as open note-book.

Because some of my past google searches literally pointed me to my own old blog post. Every time that happened, it gave me a very smug feeling.
