It was really hard to find time today, but I did. Up to 12K words, though some of it is obviously code samples that get repeated as I explain improvement.

If you are using OS X, I highly recommend GitX (download from http://gitx.frim.nl/ )I typically run that, and pick files/snippets from files to create logical commits
