A script for cleaning up Git repositories; it deletes branches that are fully merged into `origin/master`, prunes obsolete remote tracking branches, and as an added bonus will replicate these changes on the remote.

git checkout master &> /dev/null

Some useful Git aliases that I use every day
#
# Working with branches
#
# Get the current branch name (not so useful in itself, but used in
# other aliases)
branch-name = "!git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD"
# Push the current branch to the remote "origin", and set it to track
# the upstream branch
publish = "!git push -u origin $(git branch-name)"

notes from SF Open Legislation Hack Night, 2013.08.07
what's the easiest way to be able to observe areas of change - and proposed change - of machine readable code?
way to model and capture legislative behavior and change management on bodies of legislation as a service.
respect for line numbers, section numbers, section references, range references
don't just model legislation as a living document, but capture the actual bills for amending said legislation
also capture change process for the bills
(basically like working in a feature branch)

CSS - Google Scroll Shadow
/*
Gmail/Google Reader Sidebar Scroll Shadows
-------------------------------------------
Neat effect that mimics the scroll shadows that appear in the GOogle sitde bar and visually cues users to scroll up or down depending on their position.
Credit goes to Lea Verou for this awesome find.

Convert a Word Document into MD

Converting a Word Document to Markdown in Two Moves

The Problem

A lot of important government documents are created and saved in Microsoft Word (*.docx). But Microsoft Word is a proprietary format, and it's not really useful for presenting documents on the web. So, I wanted to find a way to convert a .docx file into markdown.

The Solution

As it turns out, there are several open-source tools that allow for conversion between file types. Pandoc is one of them, and it's powerful. In fact, pandoc's website says "If you need to convert files from one markup format into another, pandoc is your swiss-army knife." But, although pandoc can convert from markdown into .docx, it doesn't work in the other direction.
