@einmaleins @olybuzz @shadrachwhite would guess you're going to have to wait until there's a g+ api. (I'd love to have g+ inside seesmic.) in reply to einmaleins #
Movie on in the background has almost every guy who's ever kicked somebody's ass in the last 20 yrs, incl Governator cameo. #
Had crepes with the last of last summer's blueberry jam & the first of this summer's strawberry jam. ::sigh:: #
Ride wasn't too bad actually. #rainBike #yaySummer? #
oh, hell's bells. it's really raining, not just misting. didn't bring my rain gear. #leSigh #
@olyhillary @openlybalanced @skirtmuseum also, rates "at a glance" – http://t.co/fMSxVm0 (LOTT is 1/3 of avg bill!) #
@olyhillary @openlybalanced @skirtmuseum IIRC, most of flat fee is LOTT/stormwater, isn't it? (ours is even a bit more than yrs, I think.) #
@skirtmuseum kinda wish I had a kindle for direct sunlight reading, tho. in reply to skirtmuseum #
@skirtmuseum gotcha. wouldn't trust my fave books to ereader (same as I've got all my CDs still) but for "disposable" reading it's great. in reply to skirtmuseum #
taking advantage of pointless non-news to say that peas are in season here, & they're DELICIOUS. (microwaved 45sec w/bit of water, salt) #
@skirtmuseum why anti-ereader? in reply to skirtmuseum #
@ezraklein also: castor oil. in reply to ezraklein #
@ezraklein lima beans and brussels sprouts still classics. (as an adult, now I like brussels sprouts, still not into lima beans.) in reply to ezraklein #
@mental_floss "unlikely encounters between famous people" – http://t.co/iO21e0X in reply to mental_floss #
@deandad I think one of the deans at the CC where I worked pointed me to it. hmmmm…but no, definitely not you. 🙂 in reply to deandad #
@deandad did that search, saw New Yorker article. holy cow: I remember reading that back when it came out! definitely a lightbulb moment. in reply to deandad #
@simonstl once (v briefly) considered riding that event; oddly enuf that stretch of road (hot & gravelly) is one reason wasn't more srs. in reply to simonstl #
what kind of asshole puts down (4 MILES of) tacks on the STP route? http://t.co/fadmZXA #bicycling via @simonstl #
started couch to 5K this am. (with this music: http://t.co/HP8wfok) for a gal who bikes 10mi/day, I'm kinda out of shape. #winded #owmylegs #

Now I have 6 jars of strawberry freezer jam. #omnomnom #yaySummer http://moby.to/06fhtp #
@andrea congrats! Minigolf & DQ sounds delightful, actually. in reply to andrea #
@rshevlin goodness no, altho a lot of my early blog posts (2001) are VERY diaryesque. Took a while to work out boundaries. in reply to rshevlin #
@rshevlin I originally got into blogging because I've kept a diary since age 9, which I guess is the ultimate talking (writing) to no-one. in reply to rshevlin #
@laurasolomon "database" is automatically scary. Something the IT guy at work deals with, etc. in reply to laurasolomon #

@adamdicarlo dad? Died in 1983. in reply to adamdicarlo #
@skirtmuseum @olybuzz how do we find you?! in reply to skirtmuseum #
Someday I wanna play #dnd with @lilyorit. Her game-tweets are HILARIOUS. #
@rogue_3 I got $5 that at some point email campaign will be referred to as "blast" 😉 #wordsThatShdBUsedForCannons @jbertrand @olybuzz in reply to rogue_3 #
@kitchenmage condolences. tough at any age, I think. (mine died in '83.) in reply to kitchenmage #
today would've been Dad's 73rd birthday. #
@kegill W. T. F.?! Whoa. Really? I can't even…. in reply to kegill #
@notlikenormal http://t.co/w3rUHBG – apparently the "dis" in disgruntled is intensifier, not antonym. (and ppl used to say "gruntled"!) in reply to notlikenormal #
@Oakwright @shelleypowers @vdebolt you might appreciate http://t.co/YBNbtME see http://t.co/azJ1rDe for actual data as of last Nov. in reply to Oakwright #
@vdebolt thanks! been growing out my hair, so I thought I'd update my avatar to match. 🙂 in reply to vdebolt #
scholarship bot? really? #
@rshevlin but 15 yrs later & I'm pretty sure my best friend is still paying big chunks o' cash to Sallie Mae every month. 🙁 in reply to rshevlin #
@rshevlin not a lot of argument from me…& I went to a small expensive private college. got lucky with scholarships & small inheritances in reply to rshevlin #
paging @deandad: good (no-paywall) articles on issues with higher ed tuition increases? (for @rshevlin) #
@rshevlin at the CC where I worked, tuition came nowhere close to paying actual per-student cost. in reply to rshevlin #
@rshevlin state schools often explicitly told to increase tuition because they're taking big cuts from state budget in reply to rshevlin #
@rshevlin for public higher ed, it's been a problem of decreasing state funds, increasing health care costs, and increasing IT needs. in reply to rshevlin #
@rshevlin fwiw, that's in public higher ed, where I also worked for 6 years (and got 1 raise & 1 COLA in 6yrs) in reply to rshevlin #
@andrea that's just insane. in reply to andrea #
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THESE THINGS ARE BROKEN. #vaguetweet #
@shelleypowers @vdebolt @Oakwright went & checked; yes, "other" is an option. (wish it were free-form box like on @mefi!) #
@shelleypowers @vdebolt I thought I remember @Oakwright tweeting something about "other" being an option under gender? in reply to shelleypowers #
@simonstl I heard about them from this story: http://t.co/b9A9fII (have seen that house in a yard not far from us.) in reply to simonstl #
@simonstl we almost signed up for their workshop here in town last month. (ended up having another commitment that weekend.) in reply to simonstl #
@simonstl sounds like a plan. (fwiw, I'm intrigued by these: http://t.co/WOLnXfC actual cottages.) in reply to simonstl #
@mcclearysarah sort of a shame, really, that amateur (?) fireworks have turned me off of 4th of July. used to love actual fireworks shows. in reply to mcclearysarah #
@mcclearysarah fondly remember sitting on our back porch as a kid/teen, could see bits of the Rose Bowl show from our yard. in reply to mcclearysarah #
@mcclearysarah LA was basically prof-only when I was growing up. Only ever saw sparklers etc once when I was 5 or 6 yrs old. in reply to mcclearysarah #
@simonstl that is more than twice the size of my house. in reply to simonstl #

@olyhillary hmmmm…might take some practice, or just a bit longer hair. Thanks for the idea, tho! in reply to olyhillary #
@dylanw I briefly looked it up, then decided I didn't really want to know. in reply to dylanw #
Fresh peas are fucking miraculous. #
@davereid MOAR KITTEH! http://t.co/6gCYHhx in reply to davereid #
annoyance of longer hair: fave style @ work (upswept/bun) doesn't fit under helmet, fave under-helmet style (pigtails) not work-appropriate. #
Finally put in the earplugs & called it a night around 11, slept ok considering. Am tired, but enjoying the quiet sunny n'hood. #

If u can't beat em, join em? (Sitting on the patio watching whatever comes over neighbor's roof.) http://moby.to/n9h02b #
@olyhillary one of these years gonna get someone to catsit & go far far away for the 4th. in reply to olyhillary #
@olyhillary @DownWithPants iour cats are all hiding under various furniture. this is the 1 time when it sucks being close to the park. in reply to olyhillary #
On the plus side, another gorgeous ride out to the river, came home to tacos with homegrown lettuce (among other things). Mmmmm, summer. #
I find n'hood fireworks during the day exceptionally annoying. Loud stupid bangs, no pretty sparkles. Cats hiding under bed. #

@myerman not that it's not delightful in the PNW. 🙂 when it's nice here, it's mindblowing. #
@myerman I have to warn you, we do have the dark season. (Nov-Feb generally overcast, drizzling, with early sunset, late sunrise.) in reply to myerman #
Watching @wilw's puffy shirt. So very puffy. (TNG s1e5, I think.) #
@olytoledo omg. Might have to stage concert with lego minifigs this weekend. 🙂 in reply to olytoledo #
@shelleypowers no flying monkeys, but I did run across this guy…. (boingo!) http://moby.to/spe1yc #
Also: poppies! http://moby.to/nngx1r http://moby.to/h7un34 #

going to try to clean off my desk & polish off my email before my 4-day weekend. we'll see how it goes. #
@rogue_3 @RobRichards try it with "index.html" at the end. "Great Success ! Apache is working on your cPanelÂ® and WHMâ„¢ Server" whoops! in reply to rogue_3 #
@myerman shhhhh, don't tell anybody. 😉 it does take a while to get going, tho. 4th of July is notoriously prone to clouds/rain. in reply to myerman #
@rogue_3 http://t.co/CGgLDNd (former poor farm!) in reply to rogue_3 #
@rogue_3 have you been to mcmenamin's edgefield? (actual former sanitarium or similar iirc) in reply to rogue_3 #
@rogue_3 I seem to recall @olybuzz & @hodgepodzaline talking about turning the old bldg into a spa yrs ago. in reply to rogue_3 #
@shelleypowers fwiw, I still use a feed reader, I think much the same way you do. altho I do find I read quite a bit on my phone, too. in reply to shelleypowers #
@andrea you & me both. for reals. also: you're totally worthy, never forget it. cc @dylanw in reply to andrea #
@myerman it's 60 here in Olympia. the usual term for it is "Juneuary." supposed to be nice over the weekend, tho. in reply to myerman #
@laurasolomon mgr can also identify people as employees without making them managers, tho am not sure if that keeps them from being mayor. in reply to laurasolomon #
@cssquirrel agreed. (and I'm not just saying that because @dylanw said nice things about me & @andrea.) in reply to cssquirrel #
this morning I ate the strawberries I picked last night; just rinsed & ate as-is, standing in the kitchen. they were SO GOOD. #yaySummer #
@heyrocker JEALOUS. in reply to heyrocker #
@dylanw thank you. More to say later, maybe. #

More strawberries from our garden! (And it looks like I missed a few that were already past eating.) http://moby.to/4i5r8h #
@decorabilia me neither. (don't much like web video, either, come to that.) in reply to decorabilia #
@skirtmuseum am I remembering correctly that we're Goodreads friends? I've got abt 3yrs worth of book reviews there. in reply to skirtmuseum #
@skirtmuseum there's never just one… fiction: The Bird of the River; non-fiction: Checklist Manifesto, The Master Switch, Nothing to Envy. in reply to skirtmuseum #
@HiredGuns oh, hm. yeah, that could be a problem. I guess just Mollom, then. in reply to HiredGuns #
@HiredGuns no reason not to do both! in reply to HiredGuns #
@kegill the top-down structure of Patch seems like a terrible fit with the hyperlocal concept. in reply to kegill #
@andrea @dylanw as a gal who's pretty much poster child for Imposter Syndrome, that sort of thing makes me want to never ever write abt web. in reply to andrea #
@andrea @dylanw no kidding. "my passive dismissal morphed into an unnerving need to edit her out of my world" wtf? in reply to andrea #
