  1. Not even considering the art inside, the existence of the Getty Center—the *place*—as a public work gives me a profound sense of peace.
  2. Holy crap, high b-flats in full voice: unlocked! Not much tone control yet...
  3. Nothing could symbolize the problems with OpenOffice.org better than the eighteen button mouse they've just created.
  4. @rentzsch Alternative: get an Intel X-25 M, and almost everything (including Safari) launches in <1 bounce!
  5. Sage advice from @nevenmrgan: "Andy, if Microsoft offers you $4M/yr and a harem of Megan Foxes, say no"
  6. @importantshock It is if you tell it to enumerate concurrently! :)
  7. @mhartshorn All from the 90s and this decade: overproduced, over-the-top studio pop duets! They're a guilty pleasure, but so much fun.
  8. Accidentally stayed up until 2 last night singing pop duets. Oops.
  9. Research! San Francisco friends with apartments: can you hear your neighbors? Gotten noise complaints? ie: Can I have a piano?
  10. Salted brown butter rice crispy treats sound basically amazing: http://bit.ly/35aKF3
  11. @violasong This is incredible.
  12. @timjcoulter "Italian butter" totally cracks me up. "Can I have some American butter for my bread?" "NO"
  13. Next week is looking like four consecutive days of on-site interviews with Silicon Valley companies. Oh, dear.
  14. @benjaminjackson Just check the "automatically download and install updates" button; then you'll get minimally bugged.
  15. A package on its way to me got marked as HazMat. Dunno what it is, but I can drive 50 minutes each way to the postal center to find out!
  16. Witness: the chord torus! Blog post to come. http://yfrog.com/7cscip
  17. Okay three hours of singing and my voice is pretty much gone. Damn high Bbs still don't sound very powerful. Getting there...
  18. Considering the prospects of graduating a term early.
  19. @lrz Then he looked at my resume and said I shouldn't use Haskell or Smalltalk. I ended up using Ruby. Good for prototyping like that.
  20. Interviewer: "You can use any language you like on these q's, within reason." Me: "What's the weirdest one anyone's used?" Him: "Ruby." o_O
