I like it. I'll heed your advice. But a football game as Altucher would... now that's out there! hahaha. Thanks!

For other people interested check out https://www.kibin.com/. I haven't used it myself (yet) but it's basically an open source way of having your writing edited by others.

I mean, I'm able to communicate things. But I'm interested in being able to write in a way that's effective and intriguing. I look up to people's writing like James Altucher, Tim Ferris, and I think Paul Graham's essays are absolutely great. Partly I just need more experience in things to write about, but I'm trying to be proactive in getting better at it.
My blog is on my about.me page. I intentionally don't really post the link because I'm not happy with it as to publicize it - but feel free to check it out! vjtorres.com

Being different helps in being better, so I think those are good tips. If not only for an exercise and experimentation to test out different styles.

So 'karma' is just the level of influence you have? So you could say that 'karma' is the klout for HN? Or is there more to it?

In a quick google search I've come across a few things. Like http://www.academyx.com/training/san_francisco/ruby/rails/ and http://marakana.com/training/event/ruby/ruby_on_rails/san_fr....
But they don't look as official as the one listed in the question so I wanted to see if there were any recommendations.

That's some solid advice and insight. Thank you rob. My challenge is finding that fit now.

In my experience I've been trying to learn beginner programming with Ruby on Rails. I feel like there are tons of high quality resources for Python that I come across. Ruby on rails documentation seems pretty good. Ruby documentation though has been tough to find.
