  1. Spelling bee: 'calories' "calorie" Incorrect! :,-(
  2. Spelling bee: 'piano' Correct! That would have been a bad one for him to miss.
  3. Spelling bee: 'laundry' Correct!
  4. My nine-year-old's spelling bee: 'juice' Correct!
  5. There's an absurd amount of visual noise hindering digestion of Hofstadter's presentation: projector on the fritz, flash photography. :-Ä
  6. With my 11-year-old on the Rice campus, listening to my hero, Douglas Hofstadter, speak about analogy and cognition.
  7. Settling into the new office. Lots to learn.
  8. Good rehearsal this morning for Redeemer Sugar Land’s Christmas in Town Square. Continually amazed by the talent in our band of musicians.
  9. Tweeting for 2 years, 11 months, 2 weeks, 1 day, 18 hours, 40 minutes, 56 seconds (December 3, 2006). How about you? http://bit.ly/eC942
  10. Wine connoisseur pro tip: There’s a subtle but important taste distinction between the muscat and the muskrat.
  11. My “Rubyists” LinkedIn group just topped 2,000 members. http://bit.ly/TXLzy
  12. Building PLT Scheme from source on my 11-year-old son's prehistoric, hand-me-down Macintosh PowerBook G3.
  13. Nerds’ night in. Watching Brian Harvey’s Berkeley SICP lectures with my 11-year-old. http://bit.ly/WEB0A
  14. One of my least favorite sounds: the sound of my blood spilling into a vial. I prefer not to watch it.
  15. Three episodes into the first season of “Mad Men.” It’s “thirtysomething” but with no humor except of the sardonic, gallows variety.
  16. @david_a_black I didn’t know you’re a cellist. If you and I are at the same Ruby event some time, we should read through some duets.
  17. I once wrote a paper on horology. But a ticking clock scares me. I think one reason I love Prokofiev’s music is that the ticking is scary.
  18. Halloween. My nine-year-old: "Hi, I'm a Mac." My 11-year-old: "And I'm a PC."
  19. @jamis Ditto.
  20. @tpgraham Me, too. It makes sense, given the plummeting cost of storage capacity.
