I started on my first weekly commitment as planned, but “feature creep” has extended the scope of that project well beyond 2 weeks, and I’m still working on it :/ However, I got to cross off another goal I had for this year in week 2, though not by my own choice. I got to volunteer with kids through KEEN San Francisco for a friend’s birthday. It was kinda confusing in the beginning, not knowing how to act around slightly challenged kids, but pretty soon I settled comfortably in my role as a horse pulling kids on a cart and running around the gym while they yelled “Giddy-up horsey! Faster!!!” I’m definitely going back to volunteer again.

Also, I got to squeeze in a business/pleasure (literally!) Halloween trip to NYC on top of that. I started the night as Indian Jones a.k.a Hindi… but then, had to attend to a production issue call from our NOC :/

What can I say, Indy hates Snakes…

… and Hindi hates Bugs!

Anyway, For week 3, my goal is to:

  1. Finish what I started in week 1 (I’m almost done with it!); and
  2. Learn D3.js and generate at least a simple interactive chart. May be a simple color wheel.
