3 hours, 20 minutes. nanowrimo.org.

Is so so so so happy it's - wait, I should update my status more often, huh? So happy it's almost time for NANOWRIMO (dot org).

So so so so so happy it's the weekend. I love my job but MAN they really expect you to WORK there.

Local Microcenter had an out of box mac air. A. now they have none, because I bought it, yay me! AWESOME and BELOW LIST which simply never happens with a mac.

White Sony Vaio netbook...half a mac for 1/4 the price...interesting.

Must get macbook air. Must. it's not a desire. It's a NEED. You know the feeling.

Had a fire going in the living room woodburner today. Nice how it goes from summer to a day of fall straight to winter.

Got Beets?

Teaching myself Koine Greek - ambitious, or merely pretentious?

Advanced debaters - check your inboxes. The mock resolution has been modified.

Changing celery from a solid to a liquid in the blender makes it remarkably less pleasant to eat. Good for the blood pressure but bad, I fear, for the soul.

Lets try again, with spelling this time: And when you take a 3 hr nap, it's a bit hard to get to sleep at night. Also hard to post a sensible status message apparently.

And when you take a 3 hr nap, it's a but hard to get to sleep that night.

Just woke up after an epic 3 hour nap. AWESOME.

Why's a starter cost $500? Not because it's parts are so inherently valuable - rather because without it, nothing else is working either.

Monica iPhone restored itself from my backup after only some minor heart attacks. On to other tech adventures like forensics on why the table of contents doesn't work on a data merged Word doc. Any ideas?

Updated my iPhone to 3.1 and the Apple SMS fix to prevent people from wiping your iPhone appears to have wiped my iPhone. Apple panic mode when someone bothers to actually write an exploit for Apple may have something to do with it.

"the bottom line is, no one cares as much as you do about what matters to you." --Me, on why a short email is usually a better email

Real excited to have not had any bars in my OWN OFFICE all day today. iPhone is so AWESOME...in the future when it's on Verizon and not AT&T.

Sure paypal is fun to use, but did you know it can remove set-in cherry pie stains from car upholstery?

Going to Stamford tomorrow, hopin I can get there and back without getting waylaid by flight delays...

Every year Delaware puts on the most amazing suburban fireworks show I have ever seen. Every car alarm in town is going off after the finale. We all clap like idiots at the end, as if they can hear us at city hall, as if we can hear ourselves even. Red White and Boom is only "nice", by comparison. This avoids the lame music and focuses on blowing...

Getting up early is painful even if you went to bed early and are still getting the same quantity of sleep. But when my daughter was little I could get up any time and sleep any time, day or night, without ill effects...supermom powers are fading...

Excited because the first batch of NEW Radiant Polo shirts should be in today! YAY!!!

I used to be in love with PHP but now I want to marry C#. Is it bad when you interpret country songs in terms of their nerd equivalents?

Have you ever gone through settings>applications and seen how much junk has access to your info? I made like Stalin and had me a big PURGE.

Cant find my rassinfrassin umbilical since I got back to town to hook up my 3G and install me some 3.0 OS goodness.

Unregulated apps were the death of myspace. Hope this Facebook billing system for apps kicks in soon before FB is overrun by the least common denominator too. Till then, I'm done with them except for the good ones like Pandora that exist outside of FB.

Ugh - Facebook is turning into myspace with the explosion of crappy do it yourself apps.

Monday is National Chipotle Day. Never forget!!!
