  1. My work should just fire everyone playing ping pong or foosball.
  2. My cat and I are playing with Cat Commander Pro. Dumb app, awesome name.
  3. Glad to finally get this one launched... it has been a crazy couple of months: http://beneful.com/wagworld
  4. I'm getting pats on the back for the "hard work" - but throwing brutal hours at something makes it clear to me that the process broke down.
  5. Yet another 60+ hour workweek underway. Tired of how production means being punished for other people's bad judgement.
  6. The week before launch of this map app and I'm still at work. Don't use ShareThis and Google maps in the same app.
  7. Gone twitter app crazy recently. @gruber's Twitter-app-as-UI-playground idea is right on. A great excuse to play with new & elegant UI's.
  8. Working on one project for 50+ hour weeks for months at a time is taking a toll on me. Lots of waking up at 4am & thinking in javascript.
  9. Chicago summer this year has me feeling strange. Hate the heat, but not sure these endless rainy weekends are much better.
  10. For the last year I've lived without napkins, ice cube trays, hand towels, mugs, or a soap dish. Today was the day I changed that.
  11. When you bring a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch, don't put it in the freezer. And don't try to microwave it back in shape.
  12. And moving/unpacking is basically complete. Back to business as usual (except in a pleasant apartment instead of a forbidding storefront)
  13. The City & The City by China Miéville is keeping me enthralled while I sit in my shabby storefront, waiting to move tomorrow.
  14. Gas at the Chicago Cultural Center tonight. Stoked. Makes me less sad I'm not making it to Mutek this year.
  15. Brunch outside on Division yesterday inspired a new hip-hop tune: "Toddlers, Dogs & Money"
  16. @jpyle Definitely hitting Gas on Tuesday! In the midst of packing but may try for tonight too.
  17. Counting the days until I'm out of my current apartment. This smelly storefront has been the bane of my existence for eleven months.
  18. After 8 years in Chicago, I'm finally learning that when just one train car is empty, it's for a reason. A smelly reason.
  19. Nothing sucks the fun out of front-end development like Microsoft .NET and Visual Studio. Except maybe Microsoft Visual Source Safe.
  20. Cold. Didn't think having a broken heater in May would suck so much. Eating crackers to stay warm, like I'm sure they did in the old days.
