@myerman I come from "soda" country myself, which @olybuzz (a "pop" guy) used to give me a hard time abt. now I say both interchangeably. in reply to myerman #
@myerman "coke" as generic for soda/pop is apparently also prevalent in Sacramento CA, according to friend who grew up there. in reply to myerman #
@kegill http://bit.ly/aFct7h worked for me. in reply to kegill #
@cell911 gorgeous photo…I think we were on the other side of the mtn about the same time. 🙂 (road trip to PDX from Oly the long way.) in reply to cell911 #

@altadenablog I didn't know the summer beach bus was still going! that brings back some great teenage memories. 🙂 (1990 or so) in reply to altadenablog #
@jbertrand why is it that when one mentions biking to work, everybody comes bustin' out with the excuses? in reply to jbertrand #
@kegill agree with you, altho to be super-clear, "Brands" is really just fancy speak for "Advertisers". in reply to kegill #
@vdebolt congrats! (seeing my mom go back to school when I was in jr high was HUGE.) in reply to vdebolt #
@Oakwright do I need to go bust some heads? in reply to Oakwright #
@shelleypowers yay! Will be very excited to see the final product. 🙂 in reply to shelleypowers #
@fakebaldur "I find responding to insipid rudeness with level-headed politeness to be rather funny." cracked me up. #
catching up on the world after weekend spent mostly outside. (our front yard looks much less crazy-people now, and my bike is mostly clean.) #
@lloydbrown so you decided to run the 1/2 marathon? hope it was fun. 🙂 btw, had a great time w/you, @l8dybug et al on Friday. in reply to lloydbrown #

torn between nap, bike ride, and housework. #
@bhenick re dual identity: there's an episode of smallville where clark goes public, all goes haywire. shd make Zuck watch that 1000 times. in reply to bhenick #

@agathafrye thanks! In any case, I really should take those books back anyways. 🙂 in reply to agathafrye #
I see. No more renewing stuff that's already overdue. 🙁 #
OMG. Desk is clean! Well, it could stand for wiping off, but at least it's tidy. #
@shelleypowers ow ow ow. now my brain hurts. 🙁 in reply to shelleypowers #
@wsdot re shuttle: most. expensive. taxi. ever. 😉 in reply to wsdot #
@eoctrl can't log into account, tho. "Internal Server Error" 🙁 in reply to eoctrl #
and for the geeks, a #drupal upgrade tip: http://bit.ly/bLvbdt (updated Drupal this morning! didn't break anything!) #
feeling oddly verbose this morning. something about being up early? some FB-related thoughts: http://bit.ly/bz9wKJ #
(In Oly ISS visible 9:30 Sat) RT @altadenablog: Skywatchin': ISS, Atlantis, Venus, the moon, doin' a dance this weekend http://bit.ly/a7yrKf #
it's going to be a NICE day. (this is one reason why I came in extra-early to do Drupal updates. also: ye gods the sunrise was glorious.) #
@Oakwright steampunk, definitely, esp with that PVC rack. (I would love to paint mine dark blue w/sparkly stars etc.) in reply to Oakwright #
@mmpartee I continue to be amused by the prescience of The Onion: http://onion.com/979LFN in reply to mmpartee #

fixed brakes on the #xtracycle after 2 days on the townie…which, ugh, needs a new saddle. wow, uncomfortable! happy to be on the X again. #
. @poptopvw sounds like @einmaleins has some beer…. 🙂 in reply to poptopvw #
@simonstl I always feel a bit naughty, like sneaking into someone's living room & rearranging the furniture. in reply to simonstl #
@UWdigiCollec Any Viking funeral stuff? (for my friend @dylanw – http://www.cssquirrel.com/comic/?comic=51 heehee!) in reply to UWdigiCollec #
@olybuzz is my hero. 🙂 #
@Oakwright looks spiffy…glad the fenders worked…we had dinner from Big Tom's last night. 🙂 which is why I left my wallet out. 🙁 in reply to Oakwright #
left my wallet at home. commence grumbling/swearing. #

@ahniwa wow…I was going to write a big FB post…and Josh basically just said what I wanted to say. (And probly more succinctly.) in reply to ahniwa #
detaching my personal FB account from FB work stuff turns out to be (un)surprisingly complicated. 🙁 #
@einmaleins my universal answer: Lego. 🙂 in reply to einmaleins #
@dylanw there is that. the thought in the back of my head? "takes one to know one." :\ in reply to dylanw #
@shelleypowers hrm. (very slightly cross-eyed, different prescriptions in each lens. I find Magic Eye baffling at best.) in reply to shelleypowers #
@shelleypowers been wondering: is that eye strain related to not be able to see Magic Eye picture effects? (have yet 2 see any 3d movies) in reply to shelleypowers #
@einmaleins trying to remember the name of the nice light-weight image editor I have on the macbook…. in reply to einmaleins #
@Oakwright ROCK ON! (We almost hit 30mph biking downtown last week.) in reply to Oakwright #

@morrischris I fell into a fountain at the LA County Arboretum when I was a kid. a lovely Japanese tourist gave me a towel, took photos. :\ in reply to morrischris #
@vdebolt LOVE your post. had funny conversation recently, someone asked what my blog was "about". all I could do was just start laughing. #
@ahniwa I've been daydreaming about creating a nonprofit version of FB, but a loose confederation sounds nice too. in reply to ahniwa #
@xtracycle last summer I biked to pick up new tabs for our autos…and was overly amused. http://brizz.ly/cCk9rk in reply to xtracycle #
@decorabilia Hollywood Video drove us to Netflix years ago. (rude & stupid staff.) in reply to decorabilia #

@fakebaldur I like that brizzly doesn't show my followers/following count, at least not in main window. (wish I could turn off trends, tho) in reply to fakebaldur #
ah yes, Monday: grey & misty. does make the bright green of the new leaves stand out, tho. #

AMAZING spring weather. (taking a break from gardening. am actually getting stuff done.) #

ok fine then. looks like I'm just going to have to ride *through* this thing. grumble grumble. #
of course. the only rain all day…right over the office, right when I'm supposed to leave. I think I'm going to wait for it to pass. #
6.66% of site visits last month used IE6. I have nothing to add to that. #
For the first time in possibly a decade, I've got my mother's day gift sent out before the day. (probly won't get to her in time, tho.) #
proved once again that I can't NOT edit. or at least proofread. #
@einmaleins I like brizzly for simplicity, hootsuite for features (lists and all that). #
chilly bike ride this morning, but NO rain and NO wind. perhaps spring will come through today. (@morrischris it'll get better, honest!) #
@mmpartee I keep trying! after running a site traffic report when I started here, I started tongue-in-cheek calling it "at-work banking" in reply to mmpartee #
