Shimano Saragosa 6000 Fishing Reel - Last summer I purchased a Saragosa 6000 class as my go to saltwater reel. It is a marvel of Japanese design and engineering without breaking the bank like a Van Staal. It is just a consistent workhorse and the drag technology makes it a joy to fish with. Needless to say, I fish enough where a reel makes my list of favorite purchases.

Prusa MK3S+ 3d printer - Excellent quality, it just works and was really fun to build the kit. I love being able to quickly think of and design anything I want in CAD (Onshape) and be able to print it the first try. I don't have to tinker around with the printer I can focus on building stuff.

Aesthetically, the app looks great. Is it normal for there to be zero test coverage in a meteor app? That concerns me. I did see this thread in the issue tracker: https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/467

He also wrote In The Heart of the Sea which is an incredible read about an ill fated crew sailing out of Nantucket.

I would love to hear more details, specifically the stepping motor setup, the Milling machine (Sieg X2) and various mods needed, did you add DRO's, etc.?

I jokingly refer to Unlimited Vacation Policy as Guilt Driven Vacation Policy. IMHO, it is a sham so companies don't have to take liability for accrued vacation time on their books. While I commend Travis for coming up with a workable solution wouldn't it be easier to just say: "Everyone has 4 weeks vacation, use them!".

I purchased a KBTalking Pro and it is the best keyboard I've owned, I like it better than my Das. Similar to the keyboard being discussed, it allows you to pair with 10 different bluetooth devices and switch between them via keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks for all your work on ruby-rets! It works like a champ for pulling in listings from MLSPin and CCIAOR. As you mentioned, dealing with all the "certified" RETS vendors is a nightmare. For the uninitiated (and fortunate), RETS has its own querying language called DMQL which is inconsistent across versions and MLS vendors. Even trivial tasks like importing photos are handled with vast difference across MLS vendors.

Despite all the technical hurdles, given their resources, I would be shocked if Zillow and Trulia DIDN'T import the majority of their Mlsdata via RETS. Most MLS providers allow 3rd party access to the data feeds. There is no way all the listing data is re-entered via agents.
