• attempt at a much needed all-nighter failed last night. working at a cafe this morning for a change of environment again. #
• back from an inspiration run downtown, now time to be productive. lots to do! #
• @johnerik preference on genre? i really like working to brian eno or ulrich schnauss. in reply to johnerik #
• baking, but baking via cakephp. #
• recollecting the days of microfiche and card catalogs with @nmyra. amazed how far technology has come since. #
• OH: “…and then we can do our sexy photoshop.” (”photoshop” was supposed to be “photoshoot”) #
• Another massive MBP fail and entire system suddenly stopped responding. Expected considering it’s two years old which is the magic number. #
• and of course nothing in my system logs to try to find the cause of the lockup. that’s helpful. #
• back at home for the rest of the night after running all over the place today. unproductive. hopefully i’m able to work most of the night. #
• ugh, integrating extjs and cakephp… the painful saga continues. design is calling louder and louder these days. #
• stoked about my xmas tree hunting and chopping adventure come december. think charlie brown. #
• i’m realizing the importance of keeping my schedule completely flexible and never committing to anything until the day before or the day of. #
• i get ecstatic when things never work the way they’re supposed to. makes my life so much more fulfilling and meaningful. #
• OH: “escape from alcatraz… that is the damn story of my life.” #
• loving evernote the more i use it, can easily save snippets of web content to read or refer to later on when (and if) i have time. #
• cakephp and $javascript->link() and $scripts_for_layout FAIL! #
• stop the hate! join your city this saturday for a nationwide protest against prop 8! http://jointheimpact.wetpaint.com/ #
• have been persistently worn out for about the past month, not quite sure what’s going on. stress? programming hell? needing a change? #

• woohoo! @nmyra is heading here to seattle this weekend to hit up the @blueflavor opening of whitespace w/me! week is looking up afterall! #
• “why work on something that has no effect on you? the art is as alive as the artist who creates it.” exactly. #
• someone from the trump tower in chicago called me while at the gym, but no message. hrm? #
• realizing there are those ppl who use social media simply to spy and stalk others, rather than its intended purposes. #
• feeling scatterbrained with everything on my mind and unable to focus on anything. highly unproductive day is expected again. #
• OH: “…but i don’t doubt her resilience like a fucking cockroach!” #
• now everyone wants a piece of the bailout; amex requests $3.5 billion in aid. this is getting bloody ridiculous: http://tr.im/10om #
• taxpayers should NOT have to pay the debt of those who defaulted on loans/credit. that’s the company’s responsibility and own risks. #
• Tweeting bird came for a visit again, i think he likes my classical music: http://twitpic.com/ldbo #
• local dev server lockups and endless loops on top of everything else. #
• note to self: if i plan on keeping my sanity in tact, avoid projects that are 85% programming or more. #
• snow peas! #
• OH: “because i hate smelling like airplane, i will probably want to change.” #
• fighting off a sudden influx of spam comments on multiple blogs. annoying. #
• it’s majorly slow-going. nothing is working as expected. been working on the same crap for most of the day with no luck. programming FTL … #

• awaiting mccain’s claim that he’s the reason for the stocks’ bounce back today since he knows and has done everything apparently. #
• and why are ppl now claiming the crisis is over? wtf, hello! it’s going to take a lot more than a few good stock days to end this mess. #
• finally done with afternoon errands. settling in for the rest of the eve/night, keeping the coffee flowing, hoping to be very productive. #
• the fact that “beverly hills chihuahua” is number one at the box office says a lot about this country. hrm… #
• @macartisan actually that’s probably palin’s first VP pick if mccain wins but drops and she moves into that position. in reply to macartisan #
• @macartisan well as long as BHC can see a foreign country from his doorstep then that should be sufficient experience. in reply to macartisan #

• @nmyra haha! ok i’ll remember that next time we are talking on the phone and you’re in a rather lengthy discussion. *click* in reply to nmyra #
• there are some nice aesthetical changes in the new MBP, but overall not a fan. glad mine should last a while longer. #
• realizing i’m spending as much, if not more, time trying to learn and figure out extjs than actual development, hardly a tool. massive FAIL! #

• here we go…debate time! obama! obama! #
• mccain, stop with your f*n pointless stories already. you suck, give it up and save us some time. #debate08 #
• mccain blinks non-stop when he’s lying. oh, he does that all the time? well, there you go… #debate08 #
• mccain here’s an idea–why don’t you talk about what the hell you’re going to do for once rather than lame attacks. #
• mccain not answering the question… again. shocking. i think i need a drink to get through this. #debate08 #
• mccain: “i know how to… and, i know how to… oh and i know how to…” so you know how to do everything, but never say how. #debate080 #
• whoa… mccain getting angry! i guess if i sucked as a candidate as much as he did i would be angry as well. #debate08 #
• mccain is acting like a frustrated child in his reactions to obama. #debate08 #
• obama hit it on the head: americans don’t care about hurt feelings… but rather the core issues. #
• christ, is mccain going to cry now? were his feelings hurt? this is mccain’s worst performance yet! #debate08 #
• obama gave excellent response to ayers and acorn. mccain swung and totally missed! #debate08 #
• omg the question of the night: why would your running mate be better than your opponent’s running mate? (biden vs palin) #
• LOL! mccain: “sarah palin is a role model for women.” wtf is he smoking? #
• mccain is toast! if he and palin end up winning after all this b.s. i am outta here! #debate08 #
• obama’s laughs to mccain’s ridiculous and erratic responses is priceless. #
• damn.. obama hit it way out of the park by referencing the chamber of commerce. yeah! #
• it was clear obama was going to win this debate within the first 10 minutes. #debate08 #
• noticing the response to mccain always flatlines. #debate08 #
• omg mccain just snorted at his education closing! wtf. #
• sounds like mccain is trying to pick up obama’s lines in terms of change and how the past 8 years hasn’t worked. imposter! #debate08 #
• clearly yet another home run for obama. mccain did not even come close to winning this one. #debate08 #
• some of these undecided voters are getting ridiculous. if you don’t know by now, then you obviously haven’t been paying attention #debate08 #
• word is foxnews is slamming mccain and stating obama clearly won this one. #
• why does the mccain campaign always come out after each debate claiming he won? wishful thinking? #
• poll results rolling in: cbs: obama 53%, mccain 22%; cnn: obama 58%, mccain 31% #

• mccain campaign is desperate now… coming up with even more convoluted lies to make obama look bad. give it up, no one falls for ur bs! #

• cnn.com live is talking about the candidate’s facial expressions and muscles during the debate to determine emotion. seriously? #
• obama: “the straight-talk express has lost a wheel.” haha! are we sure it ever had wheels? #
• why do ppl fail to realize judgment and character are just as important in a presidential candidate? #
• cnn snap poll about who won the debate: 60% obama, 37% mccain. #

• mccain supporters blaming media for what they call bias towards obama? huh? face the facts ppl–mccain and palin both suck as candidates. #
