amazing home-made tacos for lunch at work. now propping eyelids open with toothpicks. #
@shelleypowers hmmmm, I really like going down to PDX…maybe I should figure out a topic…. #
@jasonsmithtx alternate hashtag: #firstworldproblems #
@robwright re foursquare: exactly! I've seen that with @TwinStarCU as well. dunno if we shd do anything abt it, tho. in reply to robwright #
fun fact: the battle that Cinco de Mayo commemorates was part of a war over foreign debt. #
@jbertrand er, 1860s. I think it's a commercialism thing, like Mother's Day or Valentine's Day but with alcohol instead of cards & flowers. #
@jbertrand Cinco de Mayo is just plain weird…celebrated more in US (in CA since the 1860 per wikipedia) than in Mexico. in reply to jbertrand #
I guess @dylanw was right…in retribution for warm Jan/Feb, we're getting lousy cold May, at least so far. #
@myerman don't mind me, I'm just having a cranky morning. in reply to myerman #
@myerman re labor shortage. my 1st thought: dammit the boomers are never going to leave us alone, are they?! in reply to myerman #
(printed out to read l8r) RT @fakebaldur: "How to make your HTML5 offline apps just as insecure as Google's": http://bit.ly/awTsDp (PDF) #
@morrischris good for you for riding! (I skipped today…the last 2 days of cold, rain (and hail!) & WIND broke my spirit.) in reply to morrischris #

erm, McCommons. (Waiting on a Train) #
brain is 100% fried. dammit I was going to blog abt McCommon speaking at Orca tonite. (talked to powerpoint too much, but good storyteller.) #
@lloydbrown accuweather does not seem to think so. (looks like Friday's supposed to be the nice day.) in reply to lloydbrown #
@bhenick @shelleypowers actually, just took a peek at the current version: looks much better than the last time I attempted. #
@shelleypowers but on Win, not the MB. last time I tried that, almost shot both GIMP AND the macbook. in reply to shelleypowers #
@shelleypowers I continue to be somewhat resistant to GIMP, but y'know, maybe I'll give it another shot…. in reply to shelleypowers #
@alixito yes. it is nap time. in reply to alixito #
RT @FakeAPStylebook: It is no longer necessary to write new stories about Facebook privacy issues; just change the dates. #

@shelleypowers @fakebaldur oooh, shiny! (I'm gonna go with DHTML for pre-2.0.) in reply to shelleypowers #
the chrome application cannot be installed on this version of osx. well, thanks for telling me BEFORE I installed it, jerks. 🙁 #
just beat the storm coming back from my afternoon walk. hoping it lets up again for the commute! #
my college advisor's newest novel: http://amzn.to/ctSJq7
(found via facebook, oddly enough) sounds intriguing. #
crazy gorgeous weather this morning. arms are sore from yesterday's gardening adventure, tho. (not even our yard!) #
@shelleypowers I hear that! I'm feeling really lucky that we waited for those first Intel macbooks! in reply to shelleypowers #
@fakebaldur just FYI – "surveillance footage […] showed a white man […] in his 40s walking away from the area" http://nyti.ms/bmWOj0 in reply to fakebaldur #
@shelleypowers at the moment, the only thing holding me to Apple is @ScrivenerApp – my 4-yr-old MB is still running fine, no plan 2 upgrade. in reply to shelleypowers #

. @intercitytransi – yr site is making me crazy. would it kill u 2 put Oly transit center hours on transit centers page? #
@fakebaldur @shelleypowers bet I could find some cranky N4-related posts (2001-02?) on my blog. (damn college…took FOREVER to die there.) in reply to fakebaldur #
@robwright wow, that's *beautiful*! and from the IRS! who'da thunk? in reply to robwright #
@shelleypowers oh, I remember those days…when we were waiting for Netscape 4 to die! in reply to shelleypowers #
@dylanw true confession. I picked UPS in part BECAUSE of "girls under trees" brochure. OMG TEH TREES! in reply to dylanw #
@intercitytransi if the weather's not totally abysmal, that'd actually be a pretty nice lunchtime ride from my office! #

@stormtwitter goblet? also chalice (altho that’s more religious) in reply to stormtwitter #
@dylanw not to mention that they don’t give loans or scholarships for gap years. (a gap year 4 me would’ve been one more damn year in LA.) in reply to dylanw #
@dylanw that post is f’ng FANTASTIC. (not to mention the CCs, which are invisible in the whole discussion.) in reply to dylanw #
ok, stepping outside and just enjoying snappy breeze & bright sun was plenty helpful. no need to be quite so maudlin. 🙂 #
@olybuzz thx ::hug:: in reply to olybuzz #
@Oakwright going bovine by libba bray. (YA, but whatever.) in reply to Oakwright #
sad book ending has thrown me completely off. I’ll be the one at starbucks crying & eating cookies. #
nothing quite like being able to be completely absorbed in a project for the whole morning. ipod + photoshop (!!!) FTW. #
@dylanw I get buyer’s remorse about almost everything. sometimes I just have to tell my brain to STFU. in reply to dylanw #
@Oakwright next april fool’s prank needs to involve disabling speakerphone. in reply to Oakwright #
James McCommons to speak @ Orca Books abt “Waiting on a Train” next Tue. http://bit.ly/9eofH2
Fantastic book, BTW. (http://bit.ly/c2yrFg
) #
listening to Schoolhouse Rock Rocks! for double nostalgia points: both childhood & early 20s. #
@dylanw and yes, you should TOTALLY blog about that post. in reply to dylanw #
@dylanw his #2 point completely ignores that labor costs are the driving factor in (most of?) higher ed costs…that, & state budget crises. in reply to dylanw #
