  1. Usually people get better at public speaking each time they do it… I just get more and more nervous each time. :-\
  2. @realph Sorry, I haven't updated the Sugar in quite some time. There's a Github fork of it here: github.com/funkylarma/Wor…
  3. Escorting mama duck and 12 ducklings across a busy intersection during rush hour is probably the most stressful thing I'll do all week.
  4. Well, this is awesome. Contact forms from Jetpack (WordPress.com plugin for self-hosted blogs). wp.me/p1moTy-bq via @jetpack
  5. It's the First of May! songs.jonathancoulton.com/mp3/First%20of… Use your headphones. Not exactly SFW.
  6. For cat owners, people who love cats, or people who hate cats: youtu.be/qpl5mOAXNl4 NSFW if swearing is not safe where you work.
  7. I must have missed the memo where everyone else learned it was cool to be late for meetings all the time. :P
  8. Some issues seem so cliché until they actually happen to you. Then you know why they're issues. I'll be more mindful of this in the future.
  9. Nevermind. 2012 can stay.
  10. @lynnkale It's getting to the point where I'm ready for 2013. 2012 was supposed to be way more awesome than this.
  11. I am ready for this day to be done. Hey, Tomorrow, hurry up and get here.
  12. I ♥ Right click + "Look up in dictionary." It even selects the word for me.
  13. Never thought I'd be taking a break from writing Javascript to solve a Rubik's cube because it was EASIER.
  14. @webster @migganimon Sorry about that. I found them & put them in the first open bag I saw on the floor. Happy #WebChallenge!
  15. One of my favorite photos from the #webchallenge :) flic.kr/p/bsNkGf
  16. @dmbrown78 Pics or it didn't happen
  17. Inner monologue: "It's after 5. I shouldn't have another soda. Oh wait, it's the #webchallenge. I SHOULD have another soda." #duh

  19. @geekandi I'm not sure who's taking video… I know there are plenty of photos on Facebook already, though.
