People are a little funny here in Santa Cruz. It really helps you understand why fireworks accidents are so commonly seen in ERs.
@ethanbauley @shannonbauley Happy anniversary weekend (my parents', too)!
@estherbester Seems to be working now...this is just the feeling I get when I'm too deep into the server-level stuff. IN OVER MY HEAD! ;)
i get that feeling just about every time i'm in the server-level stuff. but i've made every-so-slow progress over the last 8 years. baby steps.

somehow it always ends up working, but, man...the older i get, the more there are some things i know i just do not have any desire to learn! luckily this tendency is growing along with my skills at outsourcing development work :)
- Bryan Landers
i very much hear you, and would be interested to know of any good contacts for sysadmin folks, especially troubleshooting/tweaking high-volume mysql settings.

Vimeo's HTML code has style!
esther and Taylor Davidson liked this
i've always been a fan of vimeo's coding and aesthetics, this is just icing. ascii txt ftw! (future project of mine i can't wait to get around to: http://asciigram.com/)
- nate beaty
that looks sweet! can't wait to see where u go with it :)

haha, i'm still in brainstorming stage. if you have any ideas, i'm all ears. the name just cracked me up, reminding me of the old SNL land shark skits: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki....

hmm..well, this could be not at all where you were going, but i somehow see a relation to http://www.twoogie.com that site that let you display tweets as a doogie howser computer post (blog?)! you could @asciigram a twitter message (see how i didn't use that word you hate?!) and @reply another user to send the link to and then asciigram would send the user an ascii rendering of the...

ha! twoogie is hilarious. that's a great idea to hijack tweets (i'm getting over it). much better than my idea to use email, so 20th century! btw, have you seen the typewriter artist Paul Smith? http://brainfag.com/writing... so amazing.
- nate beaty
oops. i commented on your blog and it told me, "pssssst! brainfag is retired! i’m now at natebeaty.com" hehehe. ah well...

jQuery interacts nicely with #squarespace. There are occasional glitches with the CMS, but in general #squarespace is solid.
Tom Waits on Letterman - http://www.youtube.com/watch...

nice find. it's not often folks give letterman the giggles.
- nate beaty
yeah :) man, who writes songs and lyrics like tom waits these days? i haven't heard of any contemporary songwriters in the same league in a while. they must exist though, right?
- Bryan Landers
he's my greatest hope that i can avoid regressing to an embarrassingly talentless cheezball as i age. i saw him perform ten years ago, highly recommend catching him if you can. definitely in his own league.

Tom Waits Press Conference - http://www.youtube.com/watch...

I hear fierce fireworks in Westwood. Somebody practicing? (iPhone 3GS feels much zippier than my 1st gen.)
sold my 1g yesterday, but the 3GS is on order with no shipping date. oof. (they were out of the 16gb when i attempted a physical retail experience.) enjoying a few days phone-free, however.
- nate beaty
That's what I got - white 16GB. How did you sell the 1G? That's a to-do for next week...
- Bryan Landers
i upheld my iPhone karma and sold it to a friend for $100, same way i got the phone. (and i got a black one -- i'm terrible with keeping white things white!)
- nate beaty
i think i might actually just get a case for this one...i was way too lucky with my 1G! to make a stunning confession, i actually think the iphone is kinda ugly. that metal band around the screen, the super shiny back surface that instantly collects finger prints and smudges...it kinda looks like old ibooks or something. i was hoping they would get more sleek and elegant by this...

- Bryan Landers
i felt no need for a case with my 1G, although i did drop it 3-4 times, once causing a single-line to slowly grow across the top of the screen for a week, then suddenly disappear (?!). i like the metal styling more; it really looks like a timeless device from a cutting edge '70s sci-fi flick. also agree re: how deluxe it is having a computer in pocket, the revelation that's what it is snuck up on me after a year of use.
- nate beaty
Agree about the shininess. The metal feels much more luxurious to me somehow. I dropped my 1G iPhone last week and now there's a tiny rattling sound when I shake it =P
- esther
hmm the rattling sound sounds ominous...upgrade and sell it quick! i'm gonna try this http://www.gazelle.com. i have an older blackberry pearl to unload as well. re: metal styling - guess that one's just my taste. i've always been averse to flashy or 'blingy' touches (like custom hubcaps or gold teeth). for me, in gadget design, sneaker design, car design, etc, less is more :)
