All month, the closest Starbucks’s chalkboard has read: “Try a Skinny or Mocha Cinnamon dolce Latté A Non-fat, Sugar-free dairy delight!”
I had to stop ordering them because I dislike the sugar-free aftertaste. This means that I’m now faced with the question, “Do I want whip cream in it?”
Of course, when given an option for my [...]
At dinner with Morgan the other day, someone pointed out the past participle of “to twitter” should be “twat,” or perhaps “twatted.” As in, “That’s what she twatted.” Or, “I twat that.”
In twitter-speak, OH means “overheard” which is a polite way of saying, “I don’t want to embarrass the person we all can guess [...]
I blame Merlin Mann of 43 folders. He’s the one who popularized Moleskines years ago.
How else can I explain that right after I wrote about my analog blog that Brian Moon pointed me to the very next xkcd about that. Which caused my friends to point out the sequel article:
Journal 2 by xkcd
Which gave me [...]
Hmm it looks like my rant touched off a spirited defense from the writer of Mephisto.
Hey, that’s my blogging system! I’m just curious what kind of error page a bad url should show? Something like this?
And yes, the mephisto title is me having fun. Lighten up, dude I never said it wasn’t shitty, but [...]
Scott Beale notes the 50th anniversary of the LEGO brick.
Burka asks, what is our preferred LEGO theme?
Does it show my age when I mention that pretty much the only theme available at the time was SPACE:
LEGO Space Shuttle (Model 442—1978)
Just so you know, the antenna in the back turns into a long range gauss gun. [...]
I’ve been a big supporter of Zivity.
My PHP friends tease me about this because Zivity is built on Rails.
Well, I got an invite to Zivity Beta the other day, so I figured I should subscribe to their blog. Today, I just wanted to link this great article from Forbes when I ran across this…
Okay, when [...]
After the merkley??? party, I went with some friends to Matt Mullenweg’s birthday party.
(Matt, for those of you who don’t know, wrote Wordpress which over the years has become the premier blogging application on the internet. Matt also gets a lot of shit from me when I talk about programming)
My friends and I are chatting [...]
Tomorrow, the stock market will crash. The fact of this crash is already written in the future’s market, but the depth and duration of the coming recession it may herald is the realm of the astrology and numerology that is part and parcel with macroeconomics.
Like Krugman, I’d like to mark this point in time with [...]
PHP is a hacky piece of shit that gets the job done that somehow that suits me just fine.
I honestly don’t know why I support SF PHP Meetup.
Quite frankly, I find the whole “Meetup” website strangely-segmented, overly-restrictive, and a closed-off and archaic anachronism. I am counting the days until Facebook or Ning finally gets their [...]
I showed up late to the Pownce party and crouched into the back of the line. Since there was not much else to do, I started to write something down in my notebook, which I’ve been carrying around since my iPhone replaced my Palm T|X.
(Isn’t it ironic that we used to be able to beam [...]
