Learning XSLT. Cool, but verbose.

It’s ridiculous to see 3 aisles of vitamins at the drug store. Just eat more veggies.

Apple ear bud in my left ear falls out when I eat a banana. I blame the App Store approval process.
Oh hey, what do you know, someone took a screen grab of that ridiculous blog post everyone was talking about yesterday http://is.gd/2Eewz =)
3 tweets on #healthcare One: Lyndon Johnson’s skillful maneuvering got Medicare passed: http://is.gd/2DjV5 (excellent history lesson)
Two: Michael Steele struggles to explain how GOP can be against government #healthcare proposals and *for* Medicare. http://is.gd/2Dkhv
And three: Ted Kennedy’s simple “Medicare for All” act, which would allow people to buy in to Medicare http://is.gd/2DjHQ #healthcare
Does anyone ever *not* rest in peace?
Coldplay’s “Strawberry Swing” video is beautiful. http://bit.ly/bEFlt
If you’ve done any foot work promoting a band, it isn’t hard to see why @bandcampyo is the GREATEST COMPANY OF ALL TIME!
Goodbye Ted. A passionate voice I will miss dearly.

I consider myself an atheist, but I have to admit it’s hard to avoid the presence of God in s’mores.

Am I the only one who just can’t bring myself to like LinkedIn?
Not kidding…was simultaneously thanked for linking to a higher-ed Drupal case study and notified we won’t be using Drupal for ucsc.edu.
[continued] because the internet is just another place where you can take yourself too seriously.
I have to admit there are moments when simply vanishing from the internet seems beautiful. http://ejohn.org/blog/eulogy-to-_why/
Spent the day at Raging Waters. Because you are never too old to get scary on waterslides.
UCSC is on Newsweek’s list of 25 higher-ed experiences that offer distinct opportunities for students! http://is.gd/2qQgW (via @ucsc)
Self-promote much?
Excited about SF publishing data in a more friendly way! Though, let’s keep building. Live data feeds via API are the holy grail.
If the best the right can muster this week is a ridiculous comparison to Hitler, I think this healthcare thing may have legs after all.
I spy @slickiris across the room at AAA in Capitola.
Need to be more aware of my surroundings. @slickiris nearly needed signal flares to get my attention from 20 feet away.
In the theatre for District 9. Stoked. Er, um, #dudeamistoked
District 9. Wow.
“Designing for Social Traction” - An excellent presentation from Joshua Porter of Bokardo. http://tr.im/wveX
Does anyone have any experience with the TamTam gem? #rails
Morning Edition guest says people are more skeptical of healthcare reform after they learn more about the bill. What exactly did we learn?
“Rob, you just finished a difficult week of work, what are you going to do next?” I’m going to FreelanceCamp!
Same guest also says Sarah Palin was “mistaken” on death panels. Is that what we call lying these days?
Hard lesson of the week: *everyone* has an agenda. Don’t expect that things will just work out.
Thank you for the well wishes everyone. We are on the extreme outskirts of the evacuation area and I don’t think we face much of a threat.
New GOP strategy: Just. Plain. Lie.
Ha ha, no, you’re all right. Lying is NOT a new GOP strategy.

Huh, looks like my house is in the mandatory evacuation area for the #lockheedfire. But *just* barely.
Kudos to @eaton for continuing to highlight the hypocrisy of Republicans on the health care debate: http://is.gd/2gQeV
Updated my Flickr photo of the Lockheed Fire from my office window: http://is.gd/2fOe1 #fire #lockheedfire
Fearful we are about to make a mistake at work. Marketing info should never trump evaluations of technical experts.
