  1. @USPS Why is it that, every time someone sends me a 1st class package, you find a way to lose it? Are they paying extra for awful service?
  2. Between Chrome extension API calls and HTML5 postMessage API, I'm thinking I should just PubSub all the things!
  3. Just saw an IE9 commercial. "IE9 will change the world". How, by finally deprecating all the older versions?
  4. @betsyrmiller Haha. We had a debate in the office regarding calling this Star Wars day. Quatro de Mayo won. I like "Revenge of the Fifth"!
  5. Fourth-o de Mayo! (@ La Hacienda Taqueria Mexican Restaurant) 4sq.com/IPiZbb
  6. @phildier Quit looking at my social searches. :P #nerfherder
  7. Found reruns of T.J. Hooker on TV. Score!
  8. @megmo What were you thinking? That's like trying to buy a car and ending up with a retarded potato. #smirnoff
  9. Unexpectedly ran into @markmolinyawe at Explore Nashville. Great to see his company getting involved!
  10. @amberweinberg Yep! Shenanigans! :) Anyways, got that old PS2 sitting around doing nothing. Might as well put it to use.
  11. Just found out that Chrome Dev Tools lets you change the context of the JS console to an iframe via a handy-dandy dropdown. Good stuff!
  12. Just found a used Playstation 2 network adapter at Gamestop. Let the shenanigans begin!
  13. Getting to play some with Bootstrap today. So far, it's pretty awesome. twitter.github.com/bootstrap/inde…
  14. @betsyrmiller Ha ha. It did seem kinda dejected when it resigned... for a computer, that is.
  15. Played Shredder #Chess in Chrome. Told me it didn't think one of my moves was that great. 12 moves later, it resigned. Still, good app. :)
  16. I think the FF11 issue was caused by MozWebSocket using a different socket spec. When they removed the prefix, it stopped using the shim.
  17. After testing my HTML5 Websocket code in both Firefox 10 and 11, it's clear that something in 11 broke it. I just wish I knew what it was.
  18. Refreshing myself on C# while listening to some Moody Blues. Son showed some interest in making a game, so thinking XNA is worth a whirl.
  19. Debugging a Firefox extension gets pretty difficult when the browser you have to test it in is a buggy piece of shit.
  20. Oh, in case you were wondering... Street Fighter X Tekken is amazing. So damn fun.
