Easier Remote Branch Rebase

Previously, my usual workflow to update a local branch to a remote parent branch was:

git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master

This can be done in a single command (assuming you are on master):

git pull upstream master --rebase

Markdown-Powered Slides (DeckSet)

DeckSet is a really neat presentation tool that allows you to rapidly create slides that are powered by a simple markdown file. It has added syntax to do things like separate content per-slide, format text and images, add a footer to all pages, etc.
