Quick note… personally, I’m coming to see that good programmers need also have some measure of designer in them. While there is a sense of art in the constructs of the code, tonight I’m talking on a purely visual level.

Most of the time, my little hacks are command line apps, without much flash. But lately [...]

Note to Emily — if you’re reading this early, we’ll be calling you tomorrow to wrapup — so avoid the spoilers

So Monday was my 23rd birthday and today was the celebration.

Something was clearly up with Mari and Patrick — I was to keep this afternoon free to do… something…, and after Lindy on [...]

The sun came out this morning after pouring yesterday and I found it fitting.

I woke up this morning, early, for the first time in a week, to get in early, to skip lunch, to leave early, to buy Obama/Biden buttons from the SF street vendor outside the BART, to vote, to get food and to [...]

Okay, was going to blog about Seattle, but the past hour and a half has to be put down first:

So I landed in Boston and caught the last T out from the Airport (win!) met with the Green Line over to the Red (win!)… and then watched the last T to Kendall Square leave (fail)

Also — Wordpress 2.5 == w00t.

And PicLens [...]

Sidebar: Site updated for speed — you’ll notice the networks link on the right now, as that will connect you to my pages faster than trying to load some of them in.

My thoughts on standard nightclubs:

I’ve never been a fan. Maybe I’ve never been to a good one. Over time it’s become less of the [...]

Are up:

You can find them here.

I also ordered myself 14 prints, of photos new and old, off Flickr to hang on my wall.

Woot!

Thursday was awesome.

I got myself down to SOMA to go to a justin.tv tech-talk. Sure, they were talking about OAuth (which is pretty much a nice standard for authenticating to share data on the web) but of much more interest was who “they” are. But let’s back up.

The point of my going down there was [...]

Today was fantastic. More later. Right now I’m going to sleep, cause I’m beat.
