Telefon Tel Aviv — Fahrenheit Fair Enough
To be...
Amusingly enough the thief took an old iPod, a GPS unit and a pack of gum, but left the Windows Mobile phone that was next to the GPS.
Why do I pay $200/month in my building for secure off-street parking? So thieves have extra privacy. http://twitpic.com/4be1k
The way I’m complaining today, you’d think no one in the world had a 7:30am meeting before.
April 2009
In no way can being up at 1:30 trying to recreate Kanye’s 808s & Heartbreak in MarioPaint Composer be considered anything but an awful idea.
The accidental maintenance uniform I will not be wearing to work again. http://yfrog.com/bfn71j
Leaving work, someone from another office asked me to fix a door. Turns out I dressed exactly like the maintenance people in my building.
Monoprice.com is so great for cables. Firewire 800/400 and a Fiberoptic Toslink for $20 with overnight shipping. Way over $60 anywhere else.
Torture: Finding a remake of the Mario Paint composer at 10am. No way I can play with it and look like I’m working. http://bit.ly/3Uihk
Don’t know why I’m always embarrassed to admit I love Bright Eyes, but you can stream Conor Oberst’s new album at NPR http://bit.ly/198HRR
When Apple changed the Firewire cables the least they could do is have adaptors in stock at the Apple Store when I need one to save my Mac.
At IxDA SF “When UX Research Is Evil”
Listening to Mogwai on my headphones makes everyone around me seem much more dramatic.
The Pavement song I had stuck in my head all afternoon turned out to actually be Britney’s new single. I feel so confused.
Trying to decide if I have normal Monday levels of malaise or swine flu levels of malaise.
Woke up with 70 year old knees this morning. It’s done wonders for my pimp walk but my pro basketball career is in jeopardy.

Woke up with 1/2 a grilled cheese sandwich on my chest. Now watching a documentary about a crazy lady murdering her ex. Go Saturday night!
At Fry’s picking up hard drives. Such a dangerous store.
Despite some iffy reviews, went with the Drobo and 4 1.5TB drives. Almost talked myself into an Xserve though.
My hacked together 1.8TB media storage is starting to act flakey - time to invest in a serious NAS setup.
Am I the only male who loves The Millionaire Matchmaker? If so, I don’t want to know.
You can listen to songs I’ve been obsessing over lately here: http://bit.ly/WzaPK . I’m going to try and keep this updated regularly.
I wonder if my new Guerrilla Warfare book recommends calling a coworker by different wrong names for months. Because it seems to work well.
Check out what I got! Prepare to be guerrillad. http://twitpic.com/3t9ke
Bowerbirds – Olive Hearts
I know almost nothing...
WatchBirdhouse raises the stakes in the iPhone Twitter app video wars.
When I sleep with my windows open I wake up at 5:30 terrified by the Muni train passing by right outside. It’s a very effective alarm clock.
Stuffing my face with delicious peirogi.
Sometimes I want to have Futurama’s babies.
Crystal Stilts – Departure
I downloaded this from...
I hate my allergies, but not nearly as much as they hate me.
New office today! Can’t decide what I’m most excited for - new chairs, central heat or indoor plumbing. http://twitpic.com/3nuar

Being passed by a unicycle on my bike was bad, but it turns out the rollerskater was more humiliating. GG Park is full of fast freaks.
