• Google and Flickr crash Firefox ALL THE TIME. I’m sick of it. #
  • Ironic: Priceline requires a security answer of 6 characters for the following question: "What is your best friend’s last name?". His is 4. #
  • @drthomasho Exactly. I guess no one will want to be your best friend if they use priceline :-) #
  • If you text somebody asking for an ETA, why would they have their kid call you back with an answer? As if kids have any idea of travel time. #
  • Great. Put down that iPhone: http://tinyurl.com/32q9tq #
  • @noahwesley No, only be ashamed if you’re liking IE over any other browser. #
  • Anyone know the name of the artist who drew the cartoons in many of the early "for Dummies" computer books? #
  • Cripes. There is *always* a conflicted file on checkout. #
  • Little did I realize that quick little reboot meant a series of Windows updates. #
  • Funny, people say they’ll be at our house in 20 minutes, but they fail to realize we’re 20 minutes from where they think we are. #
  • Top notch blended parenting: take your kid across 2 states for 3 days and don’t bother to get out when you drop him back off to touch base. #
  • @zeldman And what do you do with your inventory of RFPs? #

  • Step-son spending weekend with his dad, who’s idea of a good father-son bonding time was a tour of the Jack Daniel’s whiskey distillery. #
  • Supported local #Indy business: Sunrise Cafe in Fishers. They offered me a cup of coffee for the road. Small biz rocks. #
  • Ok, I know its been a few versions since I’ve used it, but where’s the fill tool in Photoshop CS3? #
  • I am truly domesticated: I know what chargers and ramekins are. #

  • I am Legend: good flick, but not one to see again. #
  • heh. DVD of I am Legend autostarted. Too lazy to get up and go to bed. Watching it again appartently. #
  • @noahwesley For what is essentially a zombie movie, it actually makes you think. Usually those movies are just FX and bad acting. #
  • Trying to get my brain (and behind) out of first gear this morning. #
  • Cleaning and whatnot. Friends from Wisconsin are stopping by today on their way to Florida. #
  • @noahwesley Got Mobile? #
  • @williamsba Despite its cheesiness, I love Mortal Kombat. Probably because when I saw it, the theater had the volume at 11. Good soundtrack. #
  • Had a great visit with our friends #
  • Hanging out on the couch with the youngest watchng Avatar. #

  • Sad. Eldest son just left for a weekend away. I miss the guy when he’s not here. The house is too quiet. #
  • @noahwesley Luckily, his little brother is still here… and he’s crazy! Just quieter. #

  • @daveseah Looks like you make #2 on "42 Ways to Make your Deadlines and Goals". More fun than GTD! http://tinyurl.com/2zefsz #
  • Kids are remote printing from the laptop. I’m on the pc with the printer, so when paper is out I have to fix it. Like working at the CS lab. #
  • Again solved a problem by almost asking for help. Think of what amazing success I would have if I asked stupid questions non-stop! #
  • Grumble. Yes, I am up and awake already. #
  • Tithing to the XP reboot idol. Whether or not I believe in it. #
  • Yesterday, listened to music all day. This morning, sound card drivers hosed. What is up with that? #
  • Why do all device driver manufacturers insist on creating their own craptastic UIs? I’ll stick with battleship grey, kthxbye. #
  • External hard drive working well for sharing code between client computer and mine, but switching back and forth is a PITA. Need A/B switch. #
  • Copying 80 gazillion files into new web project. Too bad there isn’t an easier way to do this. #
  • @caseysoftware How about asking @codinghorror for a sticker? #
  • Ahhh… that’s better. #

  • Crap. Don’t these kids ever go to school? They just had Friday off and now they’re off tomorrow afternoon. #
  • @ScottWilder I don’t, but @shanselman wrote a blog post about it recently. http://tinyurl.com/ypuob4 #
  • @ScottWilder Sorry, can’t help tonight. Deadline looming and webcam isn’t hooked up. #
  • Enough of this. There is plenty of opportunity to be stupid tomorrow. G’night. #
  • Why do you always wear sunglasses? Because the sun never sets on cool. #
  • Have the window open. Apparently a duck in the front yard is not a Dream Theater fan. Quacking loudly. #
  • Wondering why it seems that #SmallerIndiana goes down around noon everyday. http://smallerindiana.com/ #
  • Youngest son just took a spill on his bike. Got up and kept on riding. Tough as nails. #
  • The good news: the boys have made themselves scarce so I can work. Tip: Bribery with video game rental & promise to play with them later. #
  • Afternoon espresso time. #
  • @jeremycoenen Whatever. #
  • Off to play a little Star Wars Battlefront 2 as payback for a quiet afternoon of work. #
  • I suck at FPS. #
  • Earjacking the boys’ conversation with the new kids as they ride around the cul-de-sac. Youngest is defending his fashion sense with honor. #
  • Last year our youngest learned to ride a bike without training wheels. This year he has started doing BMX-style stunt tricks. #

  • Frustrated with zoom controls in different apps. In Inkscape: CTRL+Scroll Wheel zooms in and out. In Photoshop: ALT+Scroll Wheel. #
  • Youngest is wearing camo pants, long sleeved striped shirt and Hawaiian camp shirt. Sound of own drummer in background. #
  • Mobile edition of #Twitter sucks. Wish they would remember that I keep picking the standard edition instead of forcing mobile on me. #
  • @drthomasho I suppose, but I have an #iPhone. Setting a cookie wouldn’t be hard to do. I use SMS when EDGE is down or no wifi. #
  • @williamsba Are they changing their name? Old Men in the Burbs, perhaps? #
  • I believe I am developing a serious PB&J addiction. #
  • Banging head on desk. Banging head on desk. Banging head on desk. #
  • @williamsba Are batteries.com diassembly and your move to NJ interrelated? #
  • brain. not. functioning. #
  • @drthomasho I can use the standard edition of #Twitter on my #iPhone, I just want to have the choice to default to standard b/c mobile sucks #

  • Confused. Are #blogIN & #blogIndiana the same thing? Ifso, when did the date change? Why does it seem like no one outside the core can help? #
  • 3:10 to Yuma was pretty good, but Im not sure I comprehend the motivations of Russel Crowe’s character. #
  • @drthomasho The duplication of effort/branding/etc doesn’t make sense to me then. #
  • I like the idea of Angie’s List, but I’m certainly not going to need $7.50 a month worth of recommendations to bother subscribing. #
  • I swear I’m going to end up with a weird tan with all the sunlight streaming into the office this morning. #
  • @ScottWilder I’m up for the next one, as long as its not the week of April 6-12. #
  • @noahwesley The #blogIndiana sessions page looks like it might be missing a :clear at the bottom. #
  • Just signed up for #blogIndiana, going to attend #blogIN, and looking forward to the next #Indianapolis #tweetup. Lots going on! #
  • @ScottWilder Rock! I’m there! #
  • @noahwesley Sure beats Wisconsin! Milwaukee was starting to get into #barcamp, but not much else was going on there. #
  • I think people using Twitterfeed are awesome, especially when I get their tweets multiple times! Oh, no I mean THEY SUCK. #
  • BSOD :-( #
  • @gregorlove I agree. Getting to groups in Ning to see if there are any new posts is also a big pain. #
  • @daveseah Nice… Did you have to set a 10 minute and 2 minute alarm? Or can it do both automatically? #

  • Told the wife to rush home because Van Helsing, her favorite movie, is on. She told me she’d get right on that. Not. #
  • Happy Easter all. #
  • "The essential point of the Resurrection is that each of us can be recreated." #
  • Post-brunch sleepiness. I think it’ll be a mellow afternoon. #
  • Supporting local business: Having dinner at Castleton Grille. #

  • Trying to get the youngest to bed. So far a bathroom break, paddleball, missing toothbrush and armless bathrobes are impeding bed. #
  • Frustrated that another day has ended in exhaustion and a long list of incomplete to-dos. #
  • Waiting for my sisters (and one sister’s family) to arrive. Doing a little early Easter event today. House is still messy, but passable. #
  • Go Badgers. #
  • Razor thin line between Heroic Dad and Darwin award: On a 12′ ladder, with 12′ PVC lashed to a roof rake rescuing my kid’s kite from a tree. #
