  • You have more than one machine, don't you? So… run them on another machine. #
  • I how I HATE the Scottish accent. It sounds like their mouths are struggling against the words… and losing. #
  • Audio: http://tumblr.com/xho29kbpml #
  • I heard an interview with Anton Kuerti on @cbcradio the other day. Which reminded me, I spend a week playing on one of his grand pianos. #
  • Who excited for COFFEE! #
  • Lifehacker's design is AWFUL. It never takes me to the article, always to the main page. So yeah, I need a replacement for that. #
  • Dear All Windows Software Distributors, Could we get a 64 bit build please? Thanks. #
  • Well now, if that's not a wordpress install, I don't know what is. #
  • Finishing up the most annoying and longest quote known to mankind. #
  • It turns out that every nonfiction book I really really like thanks Nassim Taleb somewhere in the acknowledgments. #
  • Apparently a hockey game was played last night and it was pretty exciting. #
  • A wild @sechastain appears! RMFO women use message board anger. It's not very effective. #
  • I'm glad Ontario doesn't have many of them tornadoes. #
  • "Even when films are fantastical, the fantasy is presented, as it were, naturalistically—in denial of its own artifice." #quotes #
  • jwdb: http://tumblr.com/xho2aesf3x #
  • No respect. #
  • So this birth certificate? It's a 'shop. I can tell from the pixels and having seen a lot of photoshops in my time. #
  • Sometimes I write the words and figure out my opinions as I go. I wonder if everyone is like this. #
  • "Loading tweets seems to be taking a while". Yes, this has been my experience on Twitter thus far. What of it? #
  • Dear Anybody Who Designs Brutalist Architecture, Please stop. Your statement has been made. You like squares. Done. Love, Everyone else #
  • HTTrack is a great program. #
  • Remember when they had "channels". It was, like, the middle ages. #
  • Drupal is… difficult. #
  • Everybody's a jackass on Twitter. #
  • "Hayek wins the fight, Keynes gets the press. Sounds about right to me." #quotes #
  • "Still screwing him is not the optimal way to stop screwing him." #quotes #qft #
  • Every time I go into the office to get that network drive fixed… I get interrupted. Third day of not having it fixed. #
  • Theology and love are not two separate things, simpleton. #
  • Bunch of prissy twats having a to-do. With world new coverage. Pathetic. #
  • I'm glad there's a site like OpenMedia.ca in Canada. #
  • As of May 10, Google Apps is capping free users for new account at 10 accounts. Looks like someone needs to make some money! #
  • Photo: http://tumblr.com/xho2beh1y8 #
  • My brother just asked me how to mail something. Because he's never done this. What. #
  • That doesn't look right at all. Stupid keys. #
  • Bing+Yahoo today is where Yahoo was 3 years ago. This is absolutely mind-blowing. Outside of the US, that share starts to approach zero. #
  • I don't know where all the positivity about Windows 7 comes from. It's… okay. Nothing special. #
  • Now scornfully surrounded with thorns, your only crown. #
  • I was watching Derrick Comedy before Donald Glover got all popular with Community and 30 Rock. You've probably never heard of them. #
  • Photo: http://tumblr.com/xho2bivbmc #
  • Photo: http://tumblr.com/xho2bkwyej #
  • When talking to conservatives, I like to agree that abortion "much like capital punishment" is evil, then sit back and watch what happens. #
  • I am right now doing a dubstep cover of "Ah, Holy Jesus, How Has Thou Offended". Johann Heermann may be turning in his grave. #
  • I'm voting for the NDP! Because I like underdogs, and they have a well-thought-out technology platform. Which is all that matters, really. #
  • Because the Bible, somewhere I'm sure, says that government should be small. #
  • Question, everyone: Give me an example of a democratic socialist state that actively oppresses Christianity, present or past. #
  • There are no small government states. There never have been. It's a dream some people in the US have. #
  • I'm really enjoying The Information: A History, A Theory, A Flood. A bit random… but so am I. #
  • Small government must be like safe sex, then. What you actually mean is "smaller government". I can get on that train, sometimes. #
  • Twicca is pretty much awesome. #

  • Found the tool. Still incredibly frustrated. #
  • Anybody who has a MobileMe account should be laughed at and teased until they cry. #
  • We're at a point with HDTV were convenience matters more than marginal quality improvements. DVD still wins for that. #
  • CDs weren't replaced by a newer, better CD format. They were replaced by downloads. We can look forward to this for movies too. #
  • Yeah, that's right, I can talk about theology AND laugh at a RAGEFACE in the same 10 minutes. LIKE A BOSS. #
  • So yeah, I'm getting me one of them Kindle doohickies. #fb #
  • Internet > Calibre > Dropbox > Aldiko. Very easy way to access my books… anywhere. #
  • Tax return was just deposited! Yay! #
  • Calibre auto-syncs to the Kindle. How nice is that? I just formatted & sent my entire collection to it. #
  • Fixing metadata is very frustrating and very satisfying. #
  • Man, this takes me back. Changing nameservers and whatnot. #
  • Laura and I just had a long talk about church and stuff. Not sure what we're going to do about our current situation. #
  • That does NOT smell good. Oy. #
  • I see the innovative spirit of America, that great machine of commerce, slowly grinding to a halt. So much sand in the gears. #
  • We have GOT to get away from calling housing an investment and trying to get everyone into a house. It's economic suicide. #
  • Episodes is really really funny. #
  • I keep looking at the price of Kindle ebooks and thinking "that's way too much". #
  • Why should I pay approximately the same amount for a product that has had most the associated costs removed? #
  • And that's why we don't say things when we think them. #
  • Dear Obama, Let's say Manning broke the law of the land. How does it follow that we should treat him like shit, pre-trial? GAH. #

  • There is something wrong here. #
  • Drinking home brewed stout. Definitely interesting. Not sure I'd ever brew stout myself though. #
  • Audio: http://tumblr.com/xho1zqoe0e #
  • Where oh where is the workorder? #
  • Daring Fireball is one of those blogs I read every once in a while, but not for long. You can smell the kool-aid. #
  • Customer service is mostly about finding enough synonyms for "yes" and "good." #
  • "Muslims appear to be far more concerned about perceived slights to their religion than about the atrocities committed daily in its name." #
  • Interesting: http://www.samharris.org/site/full_text/losing-our-spines-to-save-our-necks/ #

  • On this website, http://sbcvoices.com/, you can't click on the logo to get to the home page. What is wrong with web designers? #
  • Search vs content now seems to be algorithm vs algorithm. An ad-driven pseudo economy. Don't see how it can persist. #
  • Most of the stuff I read on the internet is now curated long-form stuff. I instinctively (and sometimes actively) filter out content mills. #
  • I'm sorry if my nuanced, factual arguments get in the way of your misplaced outrage. #
  • On my first presentation I aimed for focused and memorable. It was a 7 minute presentation including Q&A. I feel good about that. #

  • Windows 7 Speech Recognition is so unspeakably half-assed I almost can't control my anger. #
  • Someone needs to make a film based on CSI's "enhance" tech, where every photo is accidentally a pocket universe of its own… #
  • … and only CSI has the secret quantum blah blah blah to peek inside and reconstruct evidence they need from the pocket universe. #
  • I mean, that's the only way the show makes sense. #
  • Christian Reconstructionism sounds like a whole big ball of hogwash. #
  • If you have to qualify regenerative baptism to the point where it looks like regular baptism, can I ask what the point might be? #

  • New machine is here. And it's quite the thing. #
