-Description goes here.
-
-== Note on Patches/Pull Requests
- 
-* Fork the project.
-* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
-* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a
-  future version unintentionally.
-* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
-  (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
-* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
+Demo code for the talk "Confident Code".  An illustration of how not to write
+code, using the example of an interface to the "cowsay" utility.
