@andrew_dunn Otherwise, I think the @foursquare use-case is limited unless all yr friends are using it, and all the bars are close together.

@andrew_dunn @foursquare got a lot more useful to me when I found lastnightscheckins.com -- I use it as a quickie diary engine now.

@mannsworld http://sawasdeeraleigh.com/Glenwoo... -- Pleasant Valley Promenade, of all places. Apparently it's like 7000 square feet.

@abbyladybug Yeah, 7000 sqft in Pleasant Valley Promenade, of all places. Haven't been, so I don't know how it compares to the original one.

I'd forgotten how freaking *aweome* Sawasdee is. Why did they just open a 2nd location in Raleigh? Durham *needed* them. Our Thai is meh.

Clayton i-House (http://claytonihouse.com) is a well-built little prefab modern house. Similar walls (2x6) & better windows than my new apt.

Heading up to Youngsville later this PM to check out the cool factory-built modern i-House (http://claytonihouse.com) w/ @georgesmartTMH

In much more positive downtown Durham news, @RueClerBakery is on Twitter & sending daily alerts when the bread & pastries are ready. Hooray!

If new TSA screening hassles converted 10% of annual US air-travel miles to car-travel miles, an additional 250 people would die per year.

In terms of deaths per passenger-mile, car travel in the USA is 25 times more fatal than commercial air travel.

Life lesson of the day: No matter what you may think, if your only tool is a Dremel, any/every problem is *not* a tiny ship in a bottle.

On the Second Day, the Holiday Bolognese transmigrates into Holiday Sloppy Joes. It's a Christmas Miracle!

Has that Christmas steak been needle tenderized? Does that mean a higher internal temperature is required to kill E. coli O157:H7? People sick in 6 states - http://barfblog.foodsafety.ksu.edu/2009...

@JillElswick Slimserver (4 Squeezebox) is pretty easy to set up, but obv. have to have the computer on to use it. We use it ALL the time.
