If you take the idea that programming makes blueprints and compiling and deploying builds houses, the equivalent in the administrative world to programming is the design of systems and processes.  (This paragraph is my idea, not necessarily Andrew's.)"</p></blockquote>

<p>street from our porch. with the old version of the bike fence. look at that gorgeous trail of light from some passing car. wowsers.</p>

<p>so sometimes i think the bike house is a self full-filling prophecy .see, we all have a lot of bikes. and we build things out of bikes. and we ride bikes. and our house is named "the bike house". so consequently, people are always giving us more bikes. random people will just come up to our porch and say "do you want my kid's old bike, it's too small for them now."</p>
