  1. @imathis Happy day after your birthday. Hope that cake was delicious.
  2. @bignate Unpossible ... but there's a pic so I'm forced to believe it. Congrats :)
  3. I'm completely disturbed by the idea of Apple acquiring ARM.
  4. @imathis Congrats man. That's awesome.
  5. Apple's most impressive accomplishment to date: preventing AT&T from butchering their phone.
  6. @imathis I use a brillo pad and ammonia. Works wonders.
  7. @imathis Hmm... that spaceship actually sounds kind of cool.
  8. @sendmehome E-ink is really nice. I'm actually not sure which I'd go with now. It's easy to second guess.
  9. Starting at $499? Really? *sigh* Now I do kind of regret getting the Kindle. Oh well, at least it still has awesome battery life.
  10. @imathis Ah, I see, I definitely do need a certain amount of physical activity to feel my best.
  11. @imathis I realize she's joking, but I think this sort of attitude is a real problem. Creativity and thinking aren't masculine?
  12. Running Vim in a terminal inside Emacs. Yes, I really do this. No, I don't think it's a particularly good habit.
  13. Flash in JS, this is both insane and ridiculously cool: http://paulirish.com/work/gordon/demos/
  14. <sarcasm>If only we were all as wise as Richard Posner</sarcasm> ... Bleh, he sounds so arrogant in his EconTalk interview.
  15. "Food, Inc." was informative not too hyperbolic or emotional. Not perfect I'm sure, but definitely worth watching.
  16. @bignate Actually it is a solved problem: http://www.google.com/search?q=heated+driveway
  17. "Fortunately no one listens to Dave Winer." - Doug Crockford
  18. Reviewed Wikipedia spending (seems quite reasonable) and donated.
  19. Had too much content for my #clojure talk at #cposc. Hope people got something out of it + enjoyed it anyway.
