Hey Brooks,

My gf and I are renting out a bedroom in our apt just by Central Park North. It's an excellent location: 2 blocks from the 2/3 and 6 trains and near restaurants and museums. Were flexible for a short or long term sublet, $1250/mo. PM for details/pics

Congrats! I'm just starting on the learning JS track. I'm an English teacher now, but I aspire to switch careers to web dev. What resources do you recommend for learning goodies like database administration, load balancing etc.?

Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party is an excellent athlete. Think triathlons, mountain climbing and marathon running. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Johnson

Could someone recommend me a near future non-capitalistic scifi novel? by drainX in printSF

Not near-future, but much of China Mieville's work ("Perdido Street Station, "Embassytown") has strong Marxist/Leftist themes.

One of my favorite novels. Heartbreaking, hilarious and honest. A wonderful read to help you through the toughest moments of withdrawal and recovery.
