Ok, I'll admit it's fun having the same phone as @olybuzz…tonite we're exploring together. 🙂 #
@olyhillary yep, got a G2 (android) last week. Really like it! in reply to olyhillary #
If you have big hands, go check out the gloves at @olybikes. Alas all too big for me. #

@TurtleNorthwest this is what I was thinking of: http://bit.ly/h17vRK but don't see any events coming soon. in reply to TurtleNorthwest #
@olybikes how late are y'all open?! in reply to olybikes #
@TurtleNorthwest I know some credit unions have shred days, will look & see if I can find more info. in reply to TurtleNorthwest #

@YelmHighwayInfo mobile template looks good! in reply to YelmHighwayInfo #

Strange moment of listening to music on my phone that I once put on a mix tape 15 years ago. #
@morrischris 🙁 hope it's nothing serious! I started my last vacation with a trip to the ER. Bleh. (Was fine, inflamed chest cartilage.) in reply to morrischris #
@rshevlin confidentially, segregating twitter to my new phone has been a big boost to my productivity. in reply to rshevlin #

@eoctrl that would be awesome. I would, no kidding, volunteer my time to program something that did that. in reply to eoctrl #
Overdrive is getting on my f'ing nerves. Srsly. At least I finally was able to download something. (Selection SUCKS.) #
@olybuzz yep. Dev assumptions don't always keep up with reality. (Am thinking that win 7 mobile isn't quite ready for prime time either) in reply to olybuzz #
@PlatosCave just saw your tweet from Thurs – I'm just getting into linux box admin. in reply to PlatosCave #

Great to see K, but damn cold & windy. Actually had to hold on to my hat. #
I guess it's been a while since I was a regular on the express bus. (Sound Transit doesn't take Pierce Transit transfers? Huh.) #
@bhenick handkerchiefs are totally worth the investment. Just make sure u have LOTS to get thru a cold. in reply to bhenick #
On the bus headed for Seattle to visit my friend Kat, who I haven't seen in ages! #

@Oakwright deep breaths. in reply to Oakwright #
protip: it works WAY better to upgrade #drupal if you upload the new files instead of the backups. :\ #
@kitchenmage alas, not me; ended November somewhere around 25k, have been verrrry sloooowly working on it since then. maybe 30k or so? in reply to kitchenmage #
@kermix23 thanks! in reply to kermix23 #
@dylanw how much of the budget deficit could you make up by selling tix for that? in reply to dylanw #
for all the credit union folks (and lego fans…what's the venn diagram on those 2 groups?) – http://bit.ly/hrUyDK #

Re #olympia discussion today: i can haz moar data plz? #
@sarahnopp @olybuzz I think mom used the guide from that for some sightseeing last time she was up here. (from CA) in reply to sarahnopp #
@olybuzz hashtag ideally should be so short as to allow for maximum actual tweet. so: #enaoly or #eastoly in reply to olybuzz #
y'know, what I really want to be doing is working on my novel, so… yay for writing on the bus! #
@olybuzz gotta be careful turning "and" into "&" – just ask S&ra from Fox Isl&. :\ in reply to olybuzz #
for @olybuzz 😛 RT @gregoryheller: I was thinking the same thing earlier today RT @kk: Nobody gives a shit about your #hashtags #
@olybuzz u mean QR? in reply to olybuzz #
@olybuzz getting a bit excited thinking abt having new tech toy to play with. first new something in a looooong time. in reply to olybuzz #
@Oakwright that might be the same hacker's group. would love an open woodshop myself. in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright used to be a nice one on the westside, but it closed a while ago. have yet to go to the new one downtown (by rainy day records) in reply to Oakwright #
all right, #olympia I have a ton of work to do, and I've got to get back to it! #
@RobertAHunter well, sure, I'll admit that. I've just been worrying hearing from folks I know who work in higher ed. in reply to RobertAHunter #
@olybuzz high-rises near capitol? I like it, but I think I just heard whats-her-name have an aneurysm. 😉 in reply to olybuzz #
@Oakwright there's a group that's trying to do something like that, altho OMG TEH NERDY. (lemme know if you want their google group info.) in reply to Oakwright #
@olybuzz @brosage @einmaleins …the horror show that is state budget could be rough on this town. 🙁 (not sure I'm articulating that well.) #
@brosage @einmaleins @olybuzz I'm still musing on that "company town" thing: same as end of logging was hard on Pt Angeles, Forks, et al… #
@olybuzz @einmaleins @brosage as far as "growth" goes, as long as Lacey is mcmansions/strip malls, dunno how much it matters what we do. 🙁 #
@olybuzz @einmaleins @brosage all that aside from our main "industry" of course…in a lot of ways #olympia is a company town. #
@olybuzz @einmaleins @brosage would be nice to see economy in Olympia that's more about making things, less about packaging "experiences." #
it's true: a good way to understand something better is to attempt to explain it to someone else. #
wow, everybody got chatty (the locals, anyway) while I was out for holiday lunch w/my dept. #
@RobertAHunter if I had just gotten dual 24" HD monitors, it would've been "F*** YEAH!!!1!one!!!" in reply to RobertAHunter #
@Oakwright that's what copyeditors/proofreaders are for. 🙂 in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright that is AWESOME…and would make a great short story. 🙂 in reply to Oakwright #
absent-mindedness FTL…apparently yesterday aft I forgot to put the gas cap on the truck after filling up. thank goodness it's attached! #
@jbertrand I know the feeling. in reply to jbertrand #
@HungrySeattle I'm planning on slow-cooker pot roast & potatoes. old-fashioned hearty, no fussing. in reply to HungrySeattle #
@jbertrand there is the classic proposition: http://bit.ly/2YMg7T in reply to jbertrand #
fascinating exploration of census 2010 data – http://nyti.ms/fcSeD7 – fun part for me is that census tract very nearly maps to n'hood assoc. #

actual LOL. RT @cssquirrel: CSSquirrel Advent iPhone wallpaper #17 features @dylanw and his Comic Sans prison camp. http://bit.ly/dS7Lxp #
superheroes/villains & the law, at least in theory: http://nyti.ms/gtyWs0 (current post: Batman, Ironman & arms control) #
@emmettoconnell as someone who's gotten email announcements (to ENA addy) I've found the official (or not) status of Rogers' mtgs confusing. in reply to emmettoconnell #
@RepoRat "campus IT tends to be a Cthulhoid monstrosity" I LOL'ed…and shuddered remembering MFPOW. (yep, even at a CC it was that way.) #
RT @emmettoconnell: According to my expert analysis, WA State's new congressional district will center on #olympia http://ow.ly/3sF1k #
@dylanw OMG NO. I would, however, totally support @emmettoconnell if he were to go for it. 🙂 in reply to dylanw #
eclipses. http://bit.ly/gM3Pbh (night owls: was totality visible anywhere in western WA last night?) #
@dylanw ew. but yes, I've had that experience too, unfortunately. in reply to dylanw #
@emmettoconnell did you see this in the crosscut comments? http://bit.ly/gHO5xu in reply to emmettoconnell #
@rolandovich have you ever seen the doc abt the Shakers? it's a fascinating bit of proto-Burns (mid-80s). in reply to rolandovich #
talk of the town has been that new district will be centered in #Olympia will be happy to have a more local rep, vs sharing w/Vancouver #
hell to the yes. RT @secstatewa: Celebrate: WA picks up 10th congressional district! State pop grew by over 14% in last decade, Census shows #
I still remember watching Ken Burns series as a kid. the NYT blog post abt George Templeton Strong? I hear it in George Plimpton's voice! #
If you're at all interested in (US) Civil War history, I recommend following http://nyti.ms/cbx2Gx – revisiting that history day by day. #
cool! RT @fpaynter: Census results today, LIVE, from the census Bureau: 11AM, EST, State and National numbers! http://bit.ly/hsFbnP #census #
@kermix23 nice. we've got quite a bit of cloud cover here, full moon could just barely penetrate. in reply to kermix23 #
glad I went to look outside while it was eclipsing, because that was cool. whereas now just darkness, no spooky red moon or anything. 🙁 #
CRABBY. I blame the eclipse. #

@myerman re Xmas: procrastination happens about this time of year too. :\ (every year I swear I'm going to get it together earlier.) in reply to myerman #
strange, mostly it's a complaint about northern states not giving back runaway slaves. #
in which it is ALL about slavery. RT @simonstl: South Carolina's Christmas Eve 1860 secession statement – http://bit.ly/3ZGKZj #
@simonstl I think that particular guy must just get bored easy. some interesting points, tho. in reply to simonstl #
strange math about cities: http://nyti.ms/erPOMH "superlinear scaling"! #
