Almost endo'd going down legion way tonite, grappling w/loose headlight. (abt 2 blocks from where @olybuzz crashed.) I'm ok, but ow! My toe! #
@alixito yeah, nook can borrow overdrive library books. in reply to alixito #
@dylanw so it would seem. ::fingers crossed:: (well, mostly crossed in hope that ftc does its damn job.) in reply to dylanw #
Napping ducks! http://t.co/255RvUt #
@alixito didn't look at kindle because I can't check out library books. 🙁 shutdown of @lendleapp confirmed decision. (I read on my phone.) in reply to alixito #
@jbertrand I can go either way, honestly. my instinct is to go a/p, but I don't esp mind 24hr. in reply to jbertrand #
@shelleypowers ok, that makes more sense. in reply to shelleypowers #
@Oakwright person I see most often is a 7th day adventist who writes for some religious website. (I know, right?!) in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright it's probably about time for me to replace brake pads, clean my chain. gave minor clean up 2 wks ago, tho. in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright ugh. yeah, WD40 + not relubing sounds like recipe for disaster. IMHO, might be good to have bike shop do general checkup. in reply to Oakwright #
@simonstl mom had to be pretty much dragged kicking & screaming into the computer age. (sis set up her email maybe 10 yrs ago.) in reply to simonstl #
@Oakwright yep, name search. fascinated by the other people w/my name, too. (most recently, news story: mom taking daughter to pop concert.) in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright holler if you need a chain-popping tool. (dunno what it's called, but I know we have one.) in reply to Oakwright #
@simonstl the big might-have-been in my life: according to mom, dad was starting to get into computers shortly before he died in '83. in reply to simonstl #
@simonstl had grandpa's typewriter when I was in HS. (88-92) round heavy keys. that thing was a monster, so old that ribbon v hard to find! in reply to simonstl #
@simonstl what I remember, mostly: "making computers do stuff is kinda fun!" but didn't have access to computer again for 5yrs. in reply to simonstl #
@simonstl wrote a long blog post last wk about my history with computer stuff: http://thewebgeneralist.com/2011/03/my-life-with-computers/ in reply to simonstl #
@simonstl Jr class actually involved programming…in Basic. On TRS-80s. And I don't remember ANYTHING about it. So there's that. in reply to simonstl #
@simonstl @obiwankimberly I've taken two "computer" classes, 1 in HS, 1 in jr high. in reply to simonstl #
worried about costs, actually. one reason we've stayed w/tmo all this time (8yrs?): lowest cost family plan out there. #
AT&T rated worst in customer satisfaction according to Consumer Reports survey: http://goo.gl/11Lz2 more from CR: http://goo.gl/CqSU9 #
@obiwankimberly @simonstl being an English major who wasn't afraid of computers has been an excellent background for my career. in reply to obiwankimberly #
@geekandahalf also: you will be going deaf sooner rather than later. in reply to geekandahalf #
I'll just note that when we first got cell phones after moving to Oly, we tried AT&T, no signal at home or work, switched to TMobile. 🙁 #
@rshevlin so, what's for breakfast? 😉 in reply to rshevlin #
@shelleypowers "disallow nofollow and noreferrer" wha? really? (lists.w3.org blocked again here as spyware (wtf?) so couldn't read details.) in reply to shelleypowers #
Almost didn't bike this morning, but really glad I did. Felt fantastic. #

@davereid congrats & enjoy! Wedding is just the beginning, wish y'all many years of happiness. 🙂 in reply to davereid #
@TurtleNorthwest @olyhillary @einmaleins also, blame @olybuzz, the name was his idea. (in 1999!) still love it, tho. in reply to TurtleNorthwest #
@olyhillary that's how I pronounce it. usually. in reply to olyhillary #
gah, gotta get out of here! hope the rain's not too heavy…. #
@TurtleNorthwest @olyhillary @einmaleins otoh, I have many years of answering to anything that starts w/"E" (2 sisters, all names start w/E) #
@TurtleNorthwest @olyhillary @einmaleins even worse when you have a handle with uncertain pronunciation. :\ #
@olybuzz at a gut level, I still hate the term "branding", a decade+ after first hearing it. (remember that UWPC logo mess?!) in reply to olybuzz #
@olyhillary when you find it, can I come along? in reply to olyhillary #
@olybuzz oh, right, I'd almost forgotten that you worked right across the street from there for a while! in reply to olybuzz #
I remember when the Tacoma Borders opened. LOVED going there, used to go to book groups, including one to learn JS. (of all things!) #
feeling kinda blergh this afternoon. possibly time for a walk. #
@simonstl no fucking way! (I know, @myerman beat me to it. still, couldn't help myself.) in reply to simonstl #
@dori adorable! (are you going to be working in person at stack overflow?) in reply to dori #
@alixito if no money shot, you could always go with green. 🙂 in reply to alixito #
@olybuzz did you see the "before" pic? here: http://www.desiretoinspire.net/blog/2011/3/9/airstream-dreams.html in reply to olybuzz #
@olybuzz I think @dori has a workspace like that, sounds super-cool. (u know my mom has signed copy of kuralt's on the road book?) in reply to olybuzz #
@JonBrazerEnt that one still makes me smile. (one of the 1st times I played D&D, my PC *starved* to death in a pit in tomb of horrors.) in reply to JonBrazerEnt #
@olybuzz xoxoxo – hope u feel better today! in reply to olybuzz #
@einmaleins @olybuzz yeah, if I worked downtown I might go with walk down/bus up. biking up that hill still not one of my fave things. :\ in reply to einmaleins #
blogs: still pretty cool, actually. http://www.elainenelson.org/2011/03/18/ideas-of-march/ #ideasofmarch #
pink/gold sunrise (tho you wouldn't know it now) plus RAINBOW. also ducks. protip: ducks don't move out of yr way; u move out of their way. #

@kermix23 damn, I haven't been to souplantation in AGES. in reply to kermix23 #
@laura_carlson my hope (however vain) is that a suit will push Google to actually make Apps accessible. (vs pushing Unis to other platforms) in reply to laura_carlson #
I wish there were a way to get @theolympian tweets WITHOUT SPORTS. (don't even mind nat'l news, but hate huge blocks of sport tweets.) #
@myerman @pat_ramsey Eowyn FTMFW. (I burst into tears EVERY time she pulls off her helmet & takes out the nazgul in the movie.) in reply to myerman #
@lauras I think you just left out the "@" 🙂 in reply to lauras #
http://t.co/aWGM0ww sxsw 2011: year of the librarian? Via @jessamyn #
@Pinboard @lauras cool, thx for the info. (when I started here my employer's site worked that way.) in reply to Pinboard #
@Oakwright I think she's more of a facebook gal. 🙂 in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright interesting idea, but was thinking something less DIY, more "giveaway for commute challenge" (will miss u & @Olybeejay!) in reply to Oakwright #
@AaronManaghan drove thru that n'hood last summer. it's changed SO much since I lived in Tacoma. (1992-2001) in reply to AaronManaghan #
intersection of bike/coffee nerdery: is it possible to get just the holder part of this: http://www.espressoparts.com/MUG_BIKE ? (w/out mug) #
@AaronManaghan wow. I lived right around the corner from there for a year in college, early 90s. in reply to AaronManaghan #
attn @Pinboard … RT @lauras: Oh pinboard! All pages https *except the login screen*?? #
@Oakwright I gather this is why (some? many?) parents like those car DVD players. alas. in reply to Oakwright #
@rogue_3 @kdale I'm intrigued by OOCSS, myself. in reply to rogue_3 #
re that RT, mentions stigma of bomb survivors. IIRC, mom of gal I knew in HS was survivor, now wondering if that's 1 reason she moved to US. #
the end of a BEAUTIFUL commute. #xtracycle #springiscoming http://flic.kr/p/9r4gg4 #
@zografispaula pretty! (altho the neon green text on the aqua sidebar is a little hard to read) in reply to zografispaula #

@mcclearysarah @rogue_3 thanks! #
I did the @webdirections state of Web development survey, and all I got was this lousy tweet http://surveys.webdirections.org/ (indeed.) #
11 yrs ago today signed papers w @olybuzz to formalize our commitment to each other. (@frantikgirl presiding) a++ would marry again. 🙂 #
