Start moving notes to self out of init files
Move to the MELPA version of use-package

Use mapc to load multiple files like a real Lisper
Shamelessly steal John Wiegley's startup timer

He says that his Emacs startup time is less than a second, which makes

and save me the trouble of having to think about it.
Test out cus-edit+ and smart-mode-line
Start actually using Powerline, which is nice
