skip the first couple minutes when nothing happens by jumping to 6:55

no i couldn't hear you, but everyone else could :) 46:06

and your moment of zen: 1:14:00

I CAN HAZ FAILZ:

while i waited for the "G" train to arrive on my way home after doing this talk, i had a chance to watch this hangout and found a number of errors i should bring to your attention!

FAIL #1 :: we had code fail at 33:08. so what was the bug that prevented the code from running? the answer is I HAVE NO IDEA. i re-produced the exact code that failed from the video and it runs perfectly fine. it must have been first time live coding/teaching karma. ha. skip the pseudo-debug time by jumping to 41:00

FAIL #2 :: i incorrectly referred to the straggling segment of nodes as the "G" train. ooops! it's the MTA line in staten island, DUH *face-palm* ... sorry staten island, i didn't forget you ... and sorry "G" train ... you DO connect to lots of stations (even though sometimes it really feels like you don't *wink* )

re-live the experience at 1:20:00 and feel free to laugh at my expense

FAIL #3 :: coming soon ...
