Software engineer since... forever. Also do geocaching, Where's George, volunteer mascot gigs, Postcrossing, photography, and gas price spotting.
And now we're mascotting in the rain! Woo.
At Point Pleasant Beach this morning for CFF mascot gig. Kind of rainy though. @ Little Silver Lake… http://instagram.com/p...

Cute shirt.woot tonight. More fablefire foxes!
Either Harford Community College students were being funny or I needed to be really wary on that trail. http://t.co/WOGvWaaiU2

Hrm. I guess Google Music is broken tonight. Not loading my library.
It's really not my responsibility but I just called tech support for Hardee's WiFi. #meddlingfox

Did 34 geocaches in Havre de Grace, Churchville, Bel Air and Fountain Green despite the rain. And no one called the police this time. :)

If Yahoo Buys Tumblr, What Will It Do With All That Porn? - Businessweek
"If Yahoo! succeeds in its attempt to acquire Tumblr, it will end up with one of the hottest Internet properties in today’s Web, with access to the coveted youth market and a foothold in mobile. It will also wind up with a whole lot of porn." - Morton Fox from Bookmarklet
By the way, Google Music All Access doesn’t have every song either. I think they have some of the same licensing issues as Spotify.
Okay, I think I’m done moving my playlist of questionable taste over from Grooveshark to Google Music. :)

'Smallest Penis Contest' In Brooklyn: New York Bar To Honor The Small Things
"Life, they say, is about learning to appreciate the small things. For proof, look no further than the first-ever "Smallest Penis Contest" at King's County Bar in Brooklyn, New York, on July 20. According to a Craigslist ad seeking "less endowed men" to prove that "good things can come in small packages," the contest will be "pageant style" and involve "talent, evening wear, and swimsuit elements."" - Morton Fox from Bookmarklet
Dinner tonight: split pea soup, fish, and noodles. Getting very low on fish though. Have to restock soon.
After auto service, I did a few errands in town and stopped at Arby’s to get the free customer survey shake. Now making dinner at home.
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. - c.a.j.
I guess on Google Island, everyone is fully visible at all times. It's the Google Way! - Morton Fox
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." - Morton Fox from Bookmarklet
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. - Laura Norvig from iPhone
Yes, from now on, always nag Comcast until everything is perfect. - Morton Fox
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!
Get in that wayback machine! - Hookuh Tinypants
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?!
Noticed that the buttons on the "mouse" of my Graphire 3 don’t work in OS X 10.8, even after updating the Wacom driver. #ohbother
