Software engineer since... forever. Also do geocaching, Where's George, volunteer mascot gigs, Postcrossing, photography, and gas price spotting.
Auto maintenance this evening because they got me an earlier appointment. 208,471 miles on the odometer.
Wait a minute. Because the Google Talk app changed to Hangouts, I’m suddenly not set invisible any more?

"Oops! You are not invisible because you're logged into Google Talk from another client, device, or location that doesn't support invisibility." Sure sounds like you can't be invisible in Hangouts.

I guess on Google Island, everyone is fully visible at all times. It's the Google Way!

If an avocado becomes a lawyer, do we call it an advocado?
Interesting that this laptop power adapter now has no problems after I ordered one yesterday. Okay, that will become the second spare.

"“Hello.” The soft, froggy voice startled me. I turned around to face an approaching figure. It was Larry Page, naked, save for a pair of eyeglasses. “Welcome to Google Island. I hope my nudity doesn’t bother you. We’re completely committed to openness here. Search history. Health data. Your genetic blueprint. One way to express this is by removing clothes to foster experimentation. It’s something I learned at Burning Man,” he said. “Here, drink this. You’re slightly dehydrated, and your blood sugar is low. This is a blend of water, electrolytes, and glucose.” I was taken aback. “How did you…” I began, but he was already answering me before I could finish my question."

Whoa. After calling Comcast this evening to nag them, the speed test is now giving results above the advertised bandwidth!

Wow we should try that. We're nowhere near our advertised bandwidth, at least through wireless. I need to do a speedtest direct from Ethernet for comparison.

Yes, from now on, always nag Comcast until everything is perfect.

Wonder how much Google makes from all those AdSense balances that never reach the $100 minimum payout.
Just noticed that Google App Engine added PHP support. Wonder how that will access the datastore.
The Google Music All Access subscription probably isn’t worth it for me. Only listened for about 5 minutes over the last two days.
Interesting thread on WG forum about how a man paying cash on a date is a turnoff: http://forums.wheresgeorge.com/showthr... Do people really think that way?
Google Calendar, when I add an appointment for Monday, I mean next Monday, not last Monday!

Finished packing for this Sunday’s mascot gig. Well, almost. There’s just one thing I need to do the night before.
Random strangers at BK, my country of origin is none of your business! Why do people feel the need to ask anyway?

Ooh, looks like a driver bug. I switched the mouse to pen mode and then back to mouse mode, and that seemed to fixed the buttons?!
Every time tech support mentions issue escalation, I imagine them riding an escalator.

Went to Kohl’s to use a $10 promo card. Got another clearance rack item. ($14 dress pants) Now at Bahama Breeze to use my last $10 coupon :)
Got home and pulled enough weeds and vines to fill 4 bags. It didn’t rain this time, thankfully. Now considering evening plans.

Foursquare history is a bit screwed up at the moment. It says every check-in was just 1 point.
I need to be more sure of next week’s weather so I can make the appointment when it won’t cut into geocaching and yardwork time. :)
And Groundspeak joins the long list of web services with no clear policy on how open source projects should handle the OAuth consumer key.
Drive a Hybrid? VMT Tax Will Chip Away at Your Savings - Money Morning - http://moneymorning.com/2013...
"After years of cost savings for fuel-efficient car buyers, the government wants the gasoline-tax revenue that was lost at the pump because the fuel-efficient cars don't have to fill up as much as other vehicles. That's why the Obama administration is floating the idea of taxing you per miles driven, or as preliminary legislation puts it, "vehicles miles traveled" (VMT). Yes, you read that right: A new tax on every mile you drive."

The label on the noodle pack actually says failure to add enough water may cause it to ignite and burn! #noodlefire

Spent too long on technical issues this evening, so I’m just staying home and making dinner. So it’s fish, noodles, and split pea soup.
