  1. @MrRooni That irks me too. Especially when you change monitors and want to fix iTunes's window. Try option-clicking on the zoom instead.
  2. Got a late start but still had a great windsurfing session this evening. Jibed while banking off a wave face. Really enjoying my gear.
  3. Interesting Bay Area wind forecast today: I'm either going to be hanging on for dear life on my 4.0 or practicing my light wind technique.
  4. I felt like I'd made it to orbit and back. Not the jump, just getting through the break and sailing in the open ocean.
  5. Laughing, I turned the board around, waterstarted, and sailed back to shore. Caught a ride on a gentle swell, outran the whitewater.
  6. Finally, I found the timing and made it through. It was like sailing up and down hills after that. Gorgeous blue. Jump, air, face plant.
  7. The challenge was as much mental as physical. Going fast toward a wall moving at you is a pretty primal fear, it turns out.
  8. First time windsurfing on the coast yesterday. Took almost 2 hours to figure out how to get through the shore break.
  9. Wild windsurfing ride today. Average: 25 knots, range 15 - 35! Was very glad for my new small sail (4.0 m). Lasted 40 minutes. Made 1 jibe.
  10. This morning on NPR I learned that Formula 1 racing gets over "50 billion viewers." Maybe they're including pets?
  11. I'm impressed with the quality of responses and general tone of the cocoa-dev list these days.
  12. Finally saw Slumdog Millionaire. I think it got a free ride due to its setting. Another Boyle film, Millions, had far more emotional impact.
  13. High, wispy clouds looked like bioluminescent jellyfish against the deep indigo of twilight last night as I unpacked my windsurfing gear.
  14. Great wind season so far -- yesterday was my first "big" sail day (5.9m). Marginal planing, but relaxing. Tacking a shortboard is hard.
  15. Looks like there's a lot of neat additions to boxee. Time to replace my dead flash drive so I can install it on the Apple TV again.
  16. Colbert warns of the health hazards of windsurfing: http://tr.im/ooYs . Look closely though and you'll see the second guy is a kiter.
  17. #wwdc Very clever of Hillegass to plant all these hat-wearing decoys among the attendees.
  18. #wwdc I'm starting to think that mildew smell is in the chairs. Unless it's me.
  19. The problem with head mounted mics is the speaker can't step away to breathe, snort, swallow, etc.
  20. 24 hours in Boston yesterday/today. Sweet 2 1/2 hour windsurfing session this afternoon in the SF Bay. WWDC this week. Yeah, keeping busy.
