Can I ask you to work excellently in your job & donate some % of your income to a charity for some amount of time (not just a one time thing) ? ;) Any charity with good reviews in http://www.givewell.org/ and https://www.charitynavigator.org/ are OK.

I actually already do that. Not specifically through those websites though. I wish more would do the same.

I have an opportunity to connect a leading IoT vendor with public agencies to impact homelessness... I need an InfoGraphic that depicts who/what/how/why/when/where IoT can positively impact the lifecycle of homeless mothers. Thx for your generous offer

Maybe listing things you're competent at might help for people to know what to ask for.

I didn't want to limit what people would ask for and even if I'm not able to do it myself, maybe I could point people in the right direction.

Help me find some reading material for this evening — post the best thing you've read recently

I'm currently reading this: https://www.amazon.com/Creativity-Sale-Wearing-T-Shirts-Pass...

It 's seriously a fun, easy and inspiring read. I would recommend for any maker/hacker. (That's not an affiliate link nor am I connected in any form or shape to the author)

I want to build a fantasy draft soccer app with node and react. I guess I would need socket.io for the draft, but I've never done any real-time app before. Can you help me out in explaining in the overall architecture of the system? Especially the real-time aspect of it.

Why don't you build a tiny real-time app first. Maybe this will help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FPkN6ETqes

Reread the Count of Monte Cristo [1] last week, as well as nonjon's "Where in the World is Harry Potter" series [2][3][4] (HP fanfiction, comedy and AU, mature content). Highly recommend both.
