Tried to buy iPhone but couldn’t get the attention of a genius so left empty-handed.
All of New York smells like low tide.
Coming to the realization that I need an iPhone (note, just because I’m a geek does not mean I am an early adopter).
Having beer at bar who’s motto is “all sports all the time.”
Donovan Data Systems integrated into DFA6: http://bit.ly/Qnw7N
Born 1970: Rotary phone. My kids born 2006/8: Full screen video conference cross-country on laptops over wifi while walking between rooms.
Epic jog. Lost in hills of Los Altos. Awesome view. Fought off Mt. Lion. Houses up there are phat.
Fake Steve had me hysterically shaking with laughter: http://bit.ly/Zqlcn
Eating Lucky Charms(tm) for breakfast.
Rented a Ford Focus. They give them out in Happy Meals too.
Does anyone care about my flight delay? Or my cruddy airline? Anyone?
“Irregardless” got people worked up! @grahamsmith disparaging tangents amuses me. @xoxoANP: they don’t talk right in Indiana.
American Airlines Admirals Club: no free wifi, no free drinks. Should call it Ensign’s Club.
Just read a product FAQ doc that uses “irregardless”. Not cool.
On way home from the Island. Billy Joel on the radio.
90 min paying medical bills. Mailing 15 envelopes. Will have to fax 15 bills to insurance. Clearly no room for cost reduction here…
Somehow turned the movie “300” into an uplifting bedtime story for the kid.
Deposition went well. Answers depend on how you define “is”. Plus the difference between QuickBlink, Blink-It, BlinkBar, and Blinker.
Off to give a deposition…about bookmarks. Wish me luck.
Sure, 5AM seems like a logical time for a baby to be up.
Watching Lost season 1 on DVD. My favorite part is the blurry logo treatment intro.
The Manhattan Airport Foundation →
I agree entirely. Pave Central Park and put in a usable airport.
Amex card activation doesn’t work on Safari. They spent $5+ on a luxurious cardmember welcome kit! So many ways your funnel can leak…
On giving kids cookies or treats for good behavior @dorielp says: “it’s not a bribe, it’s a celebration.”
Hate it when cabbies ask me which route I want to take. You’re a paid professional, tell me what route to take!
Back in NY. Gotta say the weather has a lot to be desired after a couple of days in CA.
Guy in airport in front of me stopped mid-setence, put cell in xray machine, went through, then picked up phone and continued conversation.
At Facebook HQ, feel like I should update my status. Respect!
Health Care debate is baffling: Do Republicans and big business realize that universal coverage benefits them disproportionately?
RT @biglerism At first I thought this was viral marketing by GOOG, until DCLK guy walks in: http://bit.ly/RnBsA <- Is that @bkane?
Almost burned down the GOOG cafeteria in unfortunate bagel-toaster incident. My days in Mountainview are surely numbered.
Hate to say it, but I *love* driving to work. Would probably get tired if I had to do it every day.
RT @dozbatasks in gmail? I predict that within 10 years, gmail will become a javascript impl of emacs.
Bumper sticker on 101: “My golden retriever is smarter than your honor student”
Apparently Hertz now rents go-carts. Otherwise known as a Suzuki.
OMG my seatmate to SFO is some kind of hyper yoga teacher lunatic in tattoos and spandex. Pray for me.
Delicious irony: TSA employee behind me in line at airport store, complaining “why is there only one line, its too slow, etc.”
The problem with being able to do the work of ten normal men is scheduling the meetings that ten normal men are expected to attend.
Called #311 for the first time to report beehive in playground. Answer “bees are a part of nature and will not be removed.”
Oh no! A bird pooped on my kid in the playground!
Someone just rang up a one thousand dollar tab at CVS.
As of today I’ve worked at DoubleClick for five years. Wow, I used to be the “new guy”!
Momofuku Ssam Bar is the bomb. And yes, I know that all my updates are about food…
I think I just got bit by a mosquito in my cubicle.
Watching Heavy Metal on Netflix. Hereby withdraw my earlier comment about Flash Gordon being weirdest movie out of Hollywood.
Just has a dish that blew my mind, the “tower of power”: salmon sashimi, avocado, peanuts, asparagus slivers, spicy carrot dressing
Speaking at Acceleration agency day about trends in tech. Where’s @sjpretorius ?
On my own until friday (no @dorielp or kids). Most exciting thing I can think to do is play loud music. Any suggestions for the bachelor?
My first experience with the Hampton Jitney! Excitement ended when a really fat dude sat next to me and tried to drum up conversation.
How did Dan Zane get into my workout playlist?
