December 2008
Not that I don’t love you all, but being virtually Twitterless and off the computer for the last 3 days has been blissful. In-person, FTW.
RT @harlanlewis: you heard it here first, netflix on TV next Macworld.
Ordered a Roku Player to watch Netflix Instant. Would rather watch Netflix on an TV. Anyone care to start *that* Macworld rumor?
November 2008
After 2 solid days of family gatherings, feeling disconnected from the news in Mumbai. Going to dedicate some time tomorrow to read up.
Beautiful SF Bay from Sausalito. http://twitpic.com/p2p1
Headed up to Sausalito for a family boat ride.
Friday Thanksgiving plenty of fun, a lot of made up songs, a melted computer and men being boys. @bakies kicked ass in her first chef stint.
Headed out to get some last minute goods for our belated T-Day dinner. Got mah beanie on for web standards.
I’m thankful I’m not working on Thanksgiving day this year.
Firefox: Because you should never expect an app to load in less than 30 seconds.
Sourceforge.net. Because you can never be too many clicks from a download link.
On a mission to San Jo to pick up tomorrow’s main course from pops’ fridge.
Used this awesome jQuery plugin: http://tr.im/1jm2 to add in-page search to this A-Z index: http://tr.im/1jm4
Just had 1/2 of an AlphaGeekBrownie. Will now looking for a tall building to climb, marathon to run, or a house to paint.
Saw “The Assassination of Jesse James” last weekend and have not been able to get the music out of my head. Beautiful, minimalist soundtrack
That was funny. It *was* @MaryTrigiani in the office next to me. Good to meet you in person! Twitter makes the world smaller.
I think @marytrigiani is sitting in the office next to me.
Hoping we get another installment of @24ways this year.
Listening to home iTunes library from work. Thank you thank you thank you, Simplify Media.
Pretty impressed with Crossover version of IE6. Loads faster than Parallels or VMware. Minimalism FTW.
Actually, considering some of the improvements made since we left (2003), it’s nearly reasonable. re: http://tr.im/1g4t
http://tr.im/1g4t The house @bakies and I used to live in is up for sale. Asking price is proof the housing market has not hit bottom yet.
Yes, the kitchen sink is included.
Experiencing a Webinar. Monday is in full effect.
“I think it’s against the rules to self-quotable wife” -@bakies
I’m hearing a definitive “spouses only” on the Quotable Wife situation. @emilyjo to the penalty box!
I doubt investor confidence will come back unless we see positive evidence the same crap that got us here CANNOT happen again.
Anyone backing up their iTunes library online? What are you using?
Looking at SugarSync and Mozy for iTunes backup…also, maybe some kind of app to sync to Dropbox.
iPod no longer holds entire music library (4 backup). May be time for new one. Kind of sad. I nursed this one back to health 2 years ago.
Sarah Palin now says that she had no control over the camera shot w/turkeys being slaughtered in the BG. http://is.gd/8Hc6 Suuuuuuurrre.
I had no idea you could save images from mobile Safari. Tap and hold on an image and a save dialog pops up. Cool.
Ohhhh.
If you’ve opened your mouth and the words, “Obama is not being progressive enough” have come out, I’m sorry for you.
When Sarah Palin talks about herself, she sounds like she is narrating her life. Oh yeah, don’t miss the turkeys dying: http://is.gd/8w5s
Camouflage.app is surprisingly good at keeping me on task today. Desktop icons = distraction.
Did anyone *not* expect the market to jump up today? It’s been the only pattern of the last couple of months. End a bad week up.
Was just reminded that I cheekily suggested “in pill form” when asked how we could better communicate news to certain audiences. #iamanidiot
“Some people out there in our nation don’t have maps”
Took off early from the 12sUV party. Have fun everyone!
ETA to UV12 party is 2*12 minutes.
Psycho dog is scaring @bakies http://is.gd/7662
Annnnnd there’s the headache. Bedtime.
No WAY am I getting stuck here because of Dreamweaver templates. Crap.
”____ percent of design is being able to defend your design choices to non-designers.” (I think 50%)
Gmail themes are cool.
Pretty sure I’m witnessing Enterprise C.Y.A. Best Practices.
Another excellent photo essay of the president-elect: http://is.gd/47Lx
Wondered why I had spent the last several hours happily focused on one task…then saw that email client was not open. So that’s the secret!
Dropbox + 1Password === Jaw-dropppingly awesome. You gotta believe.
