Got a text from my wife that her millennial coworkers are discussing the reality of (and their belief in) zombies. This is your brain on TV. 12:16 PM May 30th via Echofon
Anyone have a recommend for good 15" laptop messenger bag that holds its shape well both loaded & empty? Prefer canvas/fabric (no leather). 2:18 PM May 29th via Echofon

Fog moved in so we can see the eclipse. About 65% coverage so far in Huntington Beach. 6:23 PM May 20th via Echofon
Four rock solid days using Snow Leopard on MBP that was über-flakey w/ Lion. Stable & blazing fast. Literally night & day difference. #OSX 9:56 AM May 16th via Echofon

Now that I'm back to using Snow Leopard, I realize just how much the window "bounce" in Lion annoys me. Feels like I'm using a Mac again. 8:14 AM May 12th via Echofon
@eelcojellema @reederapp After migrating back to Snow Leopard, Reeder is 100% stable after several days use. Real problem lies in Lion IMHO. 7:26 AM May 12th via Echofon in reply to eelcojellema
Some days, I feel like my FT job is to think for other people. Other days, it's to fix the things they didn't bother thinking about first. 1:04 PM May 11th via Echofon
Decided to downgrade to a clean install of OS X 10.6.8. Why didn't I do this sooner? System is lightning fast & rock solid again. 9:57 PM May 10th via Echofon
@eelcojellema @reederapp Not 100% sure it's the app—but it may use code that triggers black screen kernel panics in mid-2010 MacBook Pros. 1:21 PM May 10th via Echofon in reply to eelcojellema
@eelcojellema @reederapp That's really weird. Mine's always at home, though don't use much away from there. Network/connection differences? 6:17 AM May 10th via Twitter for Mac in reply to eelcojellema
@eelcojellema Have not solved @reederapp black screen kernel panic on i7 MacBook Pro. Think it's a NVIDIA hardware issue. You have MBP too? 6:10 AM May 10th via Echofon in reply to eelcojellema
What the heck? @pandabarapp has been squashed by @pandora? Such a shame since it's the best option for desktop playback. #MightNotRenewNow 8:49 AM May 6th via Echofon

Cracking a good 16 character password takes 6 quadrillion years, yet evolution supposedly sequenced human DNA in 4.6 billion. #ConsiderIt 11:00 AM May 2nd via Echofon
Picked up a license for #TotalFinder today. Awesome. The ability to cut & paste in the Finder is worth the price alone. jimm.us/IqZljs 10:14 AM May 1st via Echofon
