Ha. It's long been on my someday list, since before the rename from Hacker School, and something that I've been explicitly considering for my sabbatical. I've glanced at batch schedules more than once in the past weeks. Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

I wonder if there'd be an appetite for this in an area w/ population of say 100k people. You'd still have most conveniences, but far less traffic, less distraction, etc.

I do want to write and publish more, generally. Perhaps some of it will be about the sabbatical itself.

I'll let you know what I've learned by the end when I figure out what "end" means. It's not my goal to go back to what I'm doing now.

I'll post about this again the next time (end of May presumably) this "What are you working on?" thread is posted, for anyone who wants to follow along. Also, email address in my profile; use subject, "What are you working on?".

I do want to travel more, in general.

I'm eyeing some tech conferences in the next months, which would involve varying levels of travel and sightseeing.

I went on a ~three-week roadtrip once, which I saw as a shorter/practice version (it was originally planned for two weeks) of a longer one I'd like to do one day. So I might do something like that.

When I move cities it feels like a rebase.
