I have been a NASA fan since I was a little kid (even tho humans haven’t walked on the moon in my lifetime), so this is very nice to see.

1) what, no greater f*ckwad theory? 2) imagine that, Calacanis & Winer being jerks. 😉 3) hey, that’s my buddy Dylan.

architectural hardwoods – source for really nice plywood. I thought I’d already tagged this, but it was only in my email. (apple-ply is the brand we saw in use, see misc. sheet.)

That’s a really good idea. I definitely need to be preparing lunches ahead of time, especially for those days when I want to go in early & exercise.

Ralph is very actively seeking employment. If you are reading this & looking for a smart front end web guy in the NJ area or remote, you should check him out. (prodded by a post from Shelley.)

“the program’s popularity has created a $34.5 million budget shortfall at Washington’s community and technical colleges” — okay, I’m going to say it: I told you so. (not “you” specifically, but generically.) I’ve been saying that RS is key in the FTE cri

“seasonal depression and mood disorders become more prevalent […] also toward the western edges of time zones” Hmm. Puget Sound is northerly, cloudy & at the W edge of PST. Also, I’d go nuts w/out my light on the timer, goes off 15 mins before alarm.

okay, I’m totally drooling now.

hmmm. I’m not sure yet what I make of it. Some very anti-usability themes, which I don’t quite understand.

If Joe & Mark were in the same room, would the universe implode? I think I find their writing entirely fascinating in exactly the same way, if in entirely opposite directions.

Critical things to remember. (Also, by way of a plug for a friend, these are all covered in Shelley’s Adding Ajax book.)

jeez. we ended up getting a better price on my (much-loved) little red truck by calling a friend and having him do some research. it also didn’t help that C threatened to leave and actually stood and started walking away. I ::heart:: C.

I vaguely remember just after my 2nd interview at Pierce chatting with my future colleagues & boss about kids, marriage and the like. It occurred to me afterward that it probably wasn’t kosher.

“For an introvert, it’s a feature, not a bug.” heh. kindall cracks me up. it’s definitely a regional thing. (read the linked article at the top, btw.) it’s been insanely difficult to make friends in Oly, most of the people I know are C’s childhood buddies

I can’t resist anything called “the revenge” — see: my love of chinese action movies. And this time I actually put some cash into it. Had to do it right away or I’d never get back to it. Too hard to overcome my cheap bastard tendencies.
