  1. GOP White House hopefuls keep doing stupid shit. This is pretty cool.
  2. BART from SF -> SFO went from $5.20 -> $7.95. Party of 4: taxi cheaper. Party of 2+ means drive & park cheaper. Ridiculous.
  3. The first step toward the Synthetic Babelfish http://su.pr/1w9haq
  4. Cat was diagnosed hyperthyroid 3 yrs ago. Vet wants to do a checkup every 6 mos. Normal, or are they milking me? Script is always the same.
  5. HBase absolutely rocks. It's a new way of thinking about storing data, but it's amazingly fast, logical, and redundant. http://su.pr/1iuT7q
  6. D'oh dead car battery. Glad I found out early enough!
  7. Oh god. The gentrification of my block has reached the Frozen Yogurt Shop phase.
  8. One of the best things to play loudly in the office when a bunch of people are heading to a meeting: http://su.pr/62iqSt
  9. Way to combine two features of my childhood: Richard Scarry and Beastie Boys http://su.pr/1qDs7N
  10. I want me some Chariot Skates! This looks so fun and versatile! http://su.pr/2w6ZnB
  11. Main source of spam lately: University of Michigan online directory. Letting ITCS account lapse finally seems smart.
  12. I wonder if they have support groups for solipsists.
  13. Usually against false dilemma fallacy.. but I'm sort of annoyed to get iPhone-advocacy petitions in email after hearing about Iran all morn.
  14. 64% of features included in software products are rarely or never used - Jim Johnson, 2002
  15. Yay speeding tickets. Weird that the Michigan state trooper just asked for $100 or not?
  16. Fourth time in 5 years fucking BART breaks on my way to SFO and I have to fight 50 other people for a cab. Why do we fail at mass transit?
  17. Best "feature" of iPhone 3.0: no more 500ms lag on keyboard input. Not sure why it was so hard to do responsive keystrokes 1st time around.
  18. Iranian state media uses Photoshop to make Ahmadinejad rally look larger (via @reddit) http://su.pr/4t8cgx
  19. Six (6) meetings today. Three (3) meetings yesterday. I am not a software engineer this week.
  20. It is possibly ironic that istwitterdown.com is down right now, and their webroot is in an owned state. :)
