I live in Seattle and work for Google. We have two kids: Annie is 6 and Theo is 3.
RT @rachelbeda: Really enjoyed WildLights @woodlandparkzoo last night. Go before it's over!
RT @LoriMatsukawa: Canned curiosities: stuff really found in @NWHarvest donation boxes. Slide show on KING5 web site Pls. check exp. dates http://twitter.com/LoriMat...
Google Compute Engine news! High mem and high CPU instance types, lower prices, disk snapshots and Europe zones. http://googledevelopers.blogspot.com/2012... #GCE
Every time I have to edit or convert video I want to gouge my eyes out. The tools are just so bad. I blame patents.
Thanks @NWHarvest and @king5seattle for including us in the tree lighting ceremony and the launch of the Home Team Harvest. We had a blast!
RT @b6n: To put it in more familiar terms, Emperor Palpatine just fired Darth Vader.
I am *loving* my new Kindle Paperwhite. The light really changes everything. And the page turns are much faster than previous kindles.
RT @b6n: AGPL is DRM for open source.
RT @hillel: From the Seattle Police Blog FAQ: "SPD seized a bunch of my marijuana before I-502 passed. Can I have it back? -- No." http://spdblotter.seattle.gov/2012...
Seattle isn't socialist. Well, perhaps 27.5% socialist… http://vote.wa.gov/results...
Okay Amazon, you win. Take my $20 and stop showing me Twilight ads on my Kindle.
RT @cjpberry: @realDonaldTrump I don't think you want a revolution. I know history. Revolutions end very poorly for people with wigs. Very poorly.
RT @cosentino: For the Nate-haters, here’s the 538 prediction and actual results side by side http://twitter.com/cosenti...
Our family is celebrating the election with chocolate. http://twitter.com/jbeda...
Rental is a Jetta this time around. It runs like a dream. One of those dreams where you are running hard and don't get anywhere.
I voted! Of course, we do it all by mail here in WA (and I'm actually in San Jose right now) but I tracked my ballot! http://twitter.com/jbeda...
Just had a great discussion with @vambenepe. (Belated) welcome to Google!
Re open WiFi router w/ default password: I gave myself elevated QoS. Things are speedy now.
Local coffee shop has open 'linksys' WiFi with default router password. If this is any indication, we are all doomed. *sigh*
FTC sues 'XXX from cardholder services' -- http://www.networkworld.com/communi.... <-- Yes! I hate these asshats.
RT @mapr: We (Google Compute and Mapr) Set New World Record for Hadoop TeraSort http://www.mapr.com/company...
RT @mat_kelcey: Just saw a super impressive demo of mapr on google compute engine. Lack of variance of task runtimes across 1,000 nodes was astounding.
RT @Ellen_Friedman: World speed record set today! Srivas of MapR with Google Compute engine just ran terabyte sort in 54 sec, 1003 VM & only 4012 cores #Hadoop
Congrats to the team on the release of a new version of the #GCE API. See https://t.co/o2LuEBpV for details.
I'm going to be speaking about #GCE at the Velocity Conference in London in early Oct. Check it out: http://velocityconf.com/velocit...
protip: shift-esc switches you between chat and message mode in gmail. It is sad, but this is life changing for me.
My priority inbox is at zero but I have 45 starred items and 'many' non-priority items. Does that count?
RT @jamesdotcuff: an 8 node 'cluster' in 10 seconds... #GCE #hpc http://blog.jcuff.net/2012...
