+# Live Streams, PostgreSQL & Indie Hacking
+
+We've got a [Twitch channel](https://www.twitch.tv/codudotco). Join us on Monday mornings (or catch the replays). I'll be doing some more built-in public stuff there. If you are interested in getting notifications, [hit that follow button!](https://www.twitch.tv/codudotco)
+
+Also, here's the progress on our PostgreSQL series, which is intended to serve as an introduction to SQL and getting up and running with PostgreSQL.
+
+**Here's what I've got so far:**

+
+## Something I've been enjoying
+
+**[Money: A Story of Humanity](https://amzn.to/4e7ajfv)**
+
+Another week, another random book read.
+
+David McWilliams explores how humanity evolved and our relationship with money. McWilliams is known for being a master communicator (and something I admire about him), and this book is no different.
+
+It's one of the most enjoyable reads I've had in a long time for something that could have been boring.
+
+**That's it for this week!**

+Thanks, and stay awesome,
