DodgerBlue is a recognized CSS color. This pleases me as both a baseball fan and a geek. about 7 hours ago via HootSuite

Good day at work today for the old PC. Only one reboot all day. Took 20 minutes start to finish, but still just one. #smallvictories 9:18 PM May 24th via HootSuite
I've been using a lot of jquery at work lately. I appreciate its functionality, but it feels like cheating. 9:14 PM May 24th via HootSuite
Steve Urkel hosts a game show on SyFi. Who knew? 9:04 PM May 23rd via HootSuite
Downloading Yahoo Axis onto the iPad. Disturbing name (Axis powers; axis of evil), but I'm curious to try it out. 7:42 PM May 23rd via HootSuite
Where else but Twitter's trending topics will you see The Great Gatsby listed alongside #ExoticRamenNoodleFlavors? 6:45 AM May 23rd via web
Silly me for thinking the OS was the most important software on my computer. 6:43 AM May 23rd via web
"The web browser is the most important piece of software on your computer." Thanks for clearing that up for me, Google. youtu.be/HgULe_we-J0 6:42 AM May 23rd via Tweet Button
Oh Internet. This is why I love you. memegenerator.net/Giorgio-A-Tsou… 8:48 PM May 22nd via HootSuite
Oh, Ancient Aliens. What is this other worldly hold you have on me? I think I must be mesmerized by Giorgio Tsoukalos's hair. 8:41 PM May 22nd via HootSuite
But my 11yo assures me I'm not old. I'm retro. 7:59 PM May 22nd via HootSuite
I'm fairly sure our 2yo will have classmates with grandparents younger than his parents. 7:59 PM May 22nd via HootSuite
2028 will also mark the 40 year anniversary of my own graduation. 7:58 PM May 22nd via HootSuite
They had a sign welcoming the class of 2019. Seems so far away. If my math is right, that puts the 2yo in the class of 2028. 7:52 PM May 22nd via HootSuite
We went to an open house at Horizon tonight. Can't believe the 11yo is going into middle school next year. 7:49 PM May 22nd via HootSuite
Frustrating day fighting the old PC. Must have spent half my time waiting for it to process commands. Probably not, but it felt that way. 7:55 PM May 21st via HootSuite
By nature, I'm a night owl. I work at 6 am. This can be problematic, particularly on Mondays. I have to be up in 4 hours. Wish me luck. 10:49 PM May 20th via txt
@toastedtofu You can still call yourself a real Trekkie. But DS9 is worth watching for Avery Brooks. He's one cool captain. 7:49 PM May 20th via web in reply to toastedtofu
I swear I heard one of the weeds in our rockbed say, "Feed me, Seymour, feed me," right before I pulled it from the ground. #fb 5:05 PM May 20th via txt
