  1. Eight hours later and I can't stop viewing it: i.imgur.com/rzH0g.gif #cuteOverload
  2. Wondering why the python-vm-builder wrapper function uses completely different flags than virt-install. Confusing! #virtualization #kvm
  3. Good to see Twitter coming back to server side rendering. engineering.twitter.com/2012/05/improv…
  4. Published my first Chrome Extension. Neat. chrome.google.com/webstore/detai…
  5. Writing a Chrome Extension for Pinterest. Unforeseen side effect, people keep pinning my test images.
  6. Also surprised at how broken my Pinterest account is directly after signup. Is it too late to still blame it on growing pains?
  7. Surprised at how opinionated the Pinterest sign up process is. Was expecting a more open, less directed, platform.
  8. Serendipity: A year ago I bound <C-[> as an alias for Esc in vim. Just learned in bash vi mode, <C-[> is an alias of Esc. #programming
  9. Was weary to hear Germany was abandoning nuclear power. Glad to learn my apprehension was misplaced. insideclimatenews.org/breaking-news/… #renewableEnergy
  10. Double-ended queues (deques) are a powerful, use-case dependent, alternative to lists in Python. docs.python.org/library/collec… #morningReading
  11. Insightful answer from Eric Lippert. RT@arstechnica: How to develop deep programming knowledge? arstechnica.com/information-te…
  12. Now reading in the park with @GVenicx. Perfect weather on a perfect day. #thankful
