missing my fav beers from seattle already, pyramid and session. #
oh minneapolis, how so, um, midwestern you are; culture-shock for a seattleite. #
OH: "damn, i wish my grandma dressed like that!" #
officially working from the @WeatherNationWx offices starting today, hoping stress levels come down drastically and quickly post-move. #
"The blessed wonders of technology are overwhelming us. We don’t control them; they control us." – http://ow.ly/2dmRy #

@nmyra beach balls are considerably more evil. in reply to nmyra #
working more w/windows for testing makes me realize how much windows really sucks. interface. usability. aesthetic. everything. sucks. #
everyday, i arise in the morning torn btwn a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. #
@jdlathrop easier said than done, esp for me; this life must have purpose. in reply to jdlathrop #
kicked off the morning w/gym workout and motorcycle ride into the office; finally a place that has more than 2-3 hours of sun per day. #
social media is devaluing friendships and *true* relationships; how many of your "friends" in social media can you really count on? #
OH: "not everyone can sleep in a bed together." #
@jdlathrop yeah you do, slacker! in reply to jdlathrop #
watching supposedly straight guys gallop through the parking lot; at least they're not floating. yet. #
OH: "every decision a human makes can be dumbed down to one question: what's going to get you laid in the end." #
there's too much damn pink in this city. #msp #
this parade makes me feel like i've suddenly been transported to small-town texas; awaiting the hay rises and petting zoo. #
um, rides…not rises. #
oh texas, you have nothing on the midwest regarding its back-woods countryness. #
as if it seemed like i never had "free" time before, now that i work in an office 10+ hours/day it's exponentially more so. #
@nmyra tiger balm it! in reply to nmyra #
bad sign when you read or hear the word "class" and instantly think of an object class in programming, rather than it's contextual intent. #
ok, @flipboard is looking pretty awesome, will def have to install on my ipad: http://www.flipboard.com/ #
"The strongest man in the world is the man who stands alone." (Thomas H. Huxley) (via @nmyra) #
iphone 4 "end call" antenna sticker: http://bit.ly/cDE5v5 #
@jdlathrop who cares about the gays anyway; if a minority group wants to be treated equally, stop separating yourself so much… imo. in reply to jdlathrop #
@jdlathrop it was about the bigotry surrounding homosexuality, not necessarily the ppl in seattle overall. in reply to jdlathrop #
@rodney_at_large haha, that's good at least. in reply to rodney_at_large #
@nmyra too bad it can't cure the ills of society as well. in reply to nmyra #
twisted desires. #
@Mike_FTW don't let them fool you, seattleites tend to be flakey and are that cold-nice. they're def nicer from the air… in reply to Mike_FTW #
not working from home now makes me look forward to the weekends again. it's friday! #
awesomely fast ride on the motorcycle into work this morning; hoping the rest of the day is as awesomely fast. or awesome. #
@chad_wilson i'm probably waiting until after the new year as [more] rumors state iphone will be on verizon. in reply to chad_wilson #
so, to partake in apple's iphone 4 bumper/case program, you have to download an app on your phone just to select and request one. odd. #
haha, #facebook ranks lower than the airline industry in customer satisfaction! i'm surprised it's even on the scale to begin with. #
@hwlee witty, sarcastic and introspective. hardly negative lol. #
this totally explains everything now! http://onion.com/csKMVp #
whenever i need a good laugh, i just reflect upon all the ridiculous b.s. some ppl say to me in all seriousness. #
@jdlathrop perhaps sometimes, but you'll def know based on my distinct "wtf" facial expression at the time. in reply to jdlathrop #
@roachmj haha, yeah that's a good one too. in reply to roachmj #
the purpose of life is a life of purpose. #
OH: "you'll squeal for more!" #
@roachmj basically in reply to roachmj #
@chad_wilson unless you're on a motorcycle, in jeans and jacket, and it's hot lol. in reply to chad_wilson #
@bbrooks and annoying! in reply to bbrooks #
@Aubs well with the top down, you can quite effectively tell the world to "suck it!". loud and clear. in reply to Aubs #
@jlarsen76 aww, tiger was one of the best dogs i've known and will def be missed in reply to jlarsen76 #
you know you're gay when you go to the mall to only come out w/girly shit. #
clearly the popular color for women in minneapolis is pink; wonder if it has to do w/target's red influence. #
first time on the mtn bike in a year, insanely different after riding a motorcycle so much lately. #
@jdlathrop including paris? #
watching the fireworks on the river for some sort of aquatennial celebration. thingy. #
first, an small-town parade. now, fireworks. i've experienced more countriness in the past week than the past 5 years. #
damn i need alcohol. #
@hwlee that was a delayed tweet that didn't go through earlier from my phone lol. #

after packing hell yesterday, wrapping up things before heading for minneapolis today. sad to leave seattle #

off we go! seattle, it's been an awesome 3.5 years, and we will def meet again. #
it's official: montana seriously sucks to drive through, almost as bad as the dakotas. almost. #
cruising through the butt of montana. oh, maybe i mean butte instead. same difference. #
after the endlessly desolate montana landscape and last night's deer incident, we remain miles from civilization just west of bismarck, nd. #
nous sommes arrivé a minnesota. enfin. #
kicking off the beginning of life in minneapolis — at Harry's Food & Cocktails http://gowal.la/r/C7vu #
@jlarsen76 prob won't really feel like home for a few years; imo seattle is still home. in reply to jlarsen76 #
finally got most of the stuff unpacked at the new place, new city: minneapolis. back to work on monday at the @WeatherNationWx offices! #
feels kind of weird being back on a computer after not using one for nearly a week. oddly enough didn't really miss it. #
body is clearly still running on seattle time. #
shouldn't "we apologize for any inconvenience" really be "…for the inconvenience" since it's clearly an inconvenience to begin with? #
@imrogb what's that time thing you have running on your mac? screensaver? it's nice! in reply to imrogb #
OH: "oh, she's a hoochie!" #
@imrogb thx! in reply to imrogb #
pumping and spinning! — at LA Fitness http://gowal.la/r/L3YC #
@WeatherNationWX bring on the severe storms! in reply to WeatherNationWX #
strangely enough, the whole iphone 4 bumper debacle reminds me of a condom. for your phone. #
when the parking lot melts to your tire, it's too fucking hot outside. #
@ericamayer just moved to minneapolis last week and have heard it's known for the juicy lucy. it's matt's bar the best place to try one? in reply to ericamayer #
@kerusdotorg thinking they should rig their music to play relative to the speed they drive. in reply to kerusdotorg #
tornado warning for the county just to the west of minneapolis, hoping we get some bad storms just a jog to the east this eve. #
bring on the storms! i've seen more severe weather in the past four days in minneapolis than i have in 3.5 years in seattle. #
tornado sirens firing in downtown minneapolis! woot! #
major storm w/wind and heavy rain, tornado northern suburbs! #msp #weather #

@TabbyTornado at least you're getting sun. try upper 50s and cloudy in the pacnw. sucks! #
since when did the tesla dealership in seattle become a tourist attraction? #
convinced that with the pervasiveness of computers, we're becoming a much dumber society. #
beer before things that go boom. — at re:public http://gowal.la/r/neTK #
@DeDubaya hopefully that's a good thing? in reply to DeDubaya #
kicking off the final week in seattle before the big move, and making it count! #
arrive at the park for fireworks and it starts raining, topping off a classic seattle forth. #
@crimhacksign sometimes love remains far too complex for any of us to truly know. in reply to crimhacksign #
@hwlee are you sure it's not the alcohol instead of the iphone? #
iphone 3g is essentially useless running iOS4 b/c it's so damn slow. #
upcoming pacnw heatwave preparing us for the minneapolis move next week; don't want to hear any bitching in seattle about the heat. #
as a native texan, i never thought i'd ever say this, but bring on the heatwave! #pacnw #
squeezing in two weeks worth of packing, work, outdoor activities and social events all in a single week. ahhh! #
100+ degrees in nyc today again. yuk! i remember those horrid heat waves in the city when i lived there… #
a motorcycle ride around the city is def in store this afternoon! #
my goal is not to prove ppl wrong, but to educate them through truth. #
it's amazing how after weeks of shitty weather, a warm, sunny day can pull you out of a deep funk. #
altering my schedule to fit this amazing weather: work in the morning and night, play all afternoon. #
do you feel it? #
@nmyra as i've stated before, computers are making us a considerably dumber society. #
pushing 80 degrees! woot! #
OH: "i saw more squids on bikes out today than in the deep blue sea!" #
@seasnoboarder guys on motorcycles who wear no protective gear, maybe a helmet, and usually do stupid stuff on it just to show off lol. in reply to seasnoboarder #
RT @nmyra I hate small talk. I suck at small talk. [same here!] #
nothing is ever easy anymore, nor does anything work the first, or second, or third attempt… #codehell #
here, piggy piggy piggy! http://yfrog.com/5mcjjj #
it's odd not having to wear a jacket outside today in seattle. #heatwave #
mmm more squid, which can be nice to look at even if it's stupid. #sportbike #heatwave #pacnw #
@nmyra never move to seattle then! in reply to nmyra #
@subimage true, but some days it seems like all you're doing is testing and debugging rather than actually developing and writing code. in reply to subimage #
still like your iphone 3g? upgrade to iOS4 and you will learn to hate it, and be tempted to make it a permanent paperweight. or brick. #
still like your iphone 3g? upgrade to iOS4 and you will learn to hate it, and be tempted to make it a permanent paperweight. or brick. #
actually tempted to do away with any phone whatsoever. only means of contacting me will be email and (*gasp*) written means of communication #
annoyed, will be downgrading my iphone 3g back to iOS3.x: http://ow.ly/28YZL #
@crimhacksign haha nah, it's obtrusive grunting kind of startled me. in reply to crimhacksign #
beer, sun and bbq, chillin before the move. http://yfrog.com/0u7vunj #
f**king allergies! #
it definitely feels like a monday, bloody monday. #
still wanting to hike granite mtn before departing the pacnw, but so much left to do and time is quickly running out. ahhhhh! #
i have an interesting list of words i can't stand and avoid using. oddly enough, "bulge" is not one of them. #
it's so hot in seattle that guys are stripping on the street corner; unfortunately, it's not the ones who should be. #
@dmoola mmm, may have to in reply to dmoola #
back from an exhausting hike at granite mtn, the only true way to escape in isolation and peacefulness. #

one word: regressive. #
everyone is having a little taste of the rainbow this weeked. #
it's a strange condition. #
really liking this track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnivqUgWUec #
f**k @youtube and their content policing… here's the track elsewhere: http://ow.ly/24ls5 #
felt like my body shut down yesterday after sleeping at least fifteen of the last twenty-four hours. major stress-induced reboot! #
@nmyra hunker down! #
love it when nothing works. at all. hibernation may not be such a bad alternative after all… #
OH: "the gym was insane! everyone wants to go workout now to look hot, esp the ones who didn't get any ass over pride weekend." #
missing snowboarding. and mtn biking. and hiking. and peace. and quiet. and isolation. #
need to purge my life of all of this b.s. #
"It’s human nature to want to grow. Stagnation is the enemy of ambition. A plateau, no matter how high, is terrifying." (via @brianshaler) in reply to brianshaler #
i've clearly reached a plateau in life, in everything, and need to up the ante. upcoming cross-country move should provide a good ass kick. #
project managers who don't write or understand code should NEVER give project timelines and estimates. #
don't do well with persistent and unyielding laziness. #
favoring online live help over sitting on hold on the phone. waiting. another plus…don't have to talk to anyone. +2 #
it's july 1st. when did that happen? #

soupeser les + et -. #
@IIIThreat def! uh oh, so what's the chat about? lol in reply to IIIThreat #
miss the days of being surrounded by passionate ppl who inspire rather than those who prefer the comfort of routine and monotony. #
microsoft pulls the plug on kin, yet another failure; perhaps they should stop trying so hard to keep up w/apple and google. it's pathetic. #
OH: "certain eruptions can be good." #
@nmyra sounds like a taste of seattle weather for you? in reply to nmyra #
@nmyra at least someone knows where i'm coming from most of the time. everyone else completely misunderstands. in reply to nmyra #
some things are simply no longer worth the effort. #purging #
another summer scorcher in seattle today: mostly cloudy and highs in the mid 60s. #
iOS 4 is slow as hell on iphone 3G! may be getting iphone 4 sooner than planned. #
I wake up in the morning feeling like P-Diddy #
watching as @jdlathrop is vacuuming the dog. #
it's sad when you need a fire just to stay warm outdoors on the forth of july. #pacnw #

listening to "amnesia" and forgetting how awesome some of my old mixes are http://bit.ly/c7wwUW #
i've cut coffee for a week, but now every time i look at my coffeemaker it shows the time as 4:20. think it's trying to tell me something. #
@nmyra except for owls of course. in reply to nmyra #
OH: "well, you definitely should take advantage of the sun and go straddle that baby!" #
seattle's brief pockets of sunshine lately mean if you don't get outside when it's here, you're s.o.l. for another week as the rain returns. #
needing some dark progressive music to get me through the morning sans coffee. #
@kerusdotorg have you tried @seesmic desktop? used it a few times, but seems comparable. i prefer tweetie b/c only interested in twitter in reply to kerusdotorg #
all of these idiots riding motorcycles in shorts and tank tops are f*n retarded! #
@hobronto i've done the same thing dancing in a gay club; weird how you suddenly become the focus of everyone's attention, ass and all. in reply to hobronto #

awesome motorcycle ride w/@jdlathrop on the first 75 degree day since last september in seattle! #
@nmyra and esp mornings involving hot ducati riders! #
must end this no-coffee streak today, feeling insanely drained. #
adopting the title "professional debugger", though i do make this look good. real good. #
glad i've decided to wait before buying iphone4, until they fix this at least: http://bit.ly/9whvhl #
@friskygeek it's surprising, and pathetic, to see how many live simply for the sake of which new gadget to buy; meaningless lives… in reply to friskygeek #

@SoccerT have fun! in reply to SoccerT #
OH: "ppl are to blame for this dwindling society and their lack of having pride in their own work." [agreed] #
truth has almost nothing to do with knowledge and everything to do with simple awareness of what is so real and essential. #

wishing ppl would stop using the word "vuvuzela". really. #

@jdlathrop at least i'm not wearing my cruisers. this time. #
proven fact: only a developer should be allowed to manage a development project. #

OH: i'm not wearing "hoochie", i'm wearing "g-hoochie", with a "g". #
now i'm reminded why i avoid pride events. #

OH: "drug-induced happiness is nice!" #
fuck this damn constant drilling downstairs! again! #
@jlarsen76 i should! it's actually peaceful there… in reply to jlarsen76 #

@roachmj not sure anymore at this point; luckily there isn't BP-related branding anywhere. in reply to roachmj #
are you living? #
in the world of my mind, there's nothing i wouldn't do. #
so, seattle gets one awesome day for every 21. that's pretty good right? #
@seasnoboarder not sure if "like" is necessarily the right word lol. in reply to seasnoboarder #
pissy black birds need to meet pissy owl. #

@chad_wilson haha, not sure, but i can think of better ways to graphically depict such a phrase. in reply to chad_wilson #
my technolust is def waning in favor of *real* life experiences; case in point, don't really care too much about iphone4 or the rush for it. #
@jlarsen76 i obviously care about them, well, because i develop them. #
@jlarsen76 …and we already know the five-day for seattle will be: much of the same, clouds, rain and non-summer temps. #ugh in reply to jlarsen76 #
running away is looking like a better option at this point. #
@jdlathrop i'd rather face them when i'm mentally capable of facing them; now is def not the time… in reply to jdlathrop #
the appealing thing about running away is you don't have to answer to no one; it's just you, and only you, in the moment. #
@jdlathrop not a pitty party lol, just an escape, a complete reboot. in reply to jdlathrop #

for the sake of my sanity, i have to get out of this damn apt today in favor of quality outdoor (and non-computer) time! #
beginning to believe that seattle can't even have 12 hours of continuous sunshine anymore. #fml #

@nmyra shouldn't you be at the shooting range instead? in reply to nmyra #
beer + sunshine. perhaps summer is attempting to arrive in seattle finally? #
heading to mt. rainier w/@jdlathrop for this awesome day. hiking + photography! #
how do we always end up sitting next to large groups of drunken women while trying to enjoy beer + sun outdoors? #
good trip down to mt rainier, but feels even better getting out on the motorcycle after seeing everyone else on theirs earlier! #
if the way you talk makes you sound ignorant, maybe you shouldn't say anything to begin with. #
equating the sound from all the drunken women's laughs nearby to that of a swarm of crickets. that never stop. #

OH: "'WTF' is my tagline!' (via @nmyra) [actually, it's mine too] #

@TechSF prob b/c good-looking ppl care more about image and popularity while failing to realize how much of a time-suck FB really is. in reply to TechSF #

there's always an abnormally large percentage of older ppl on my flights to MSP, which makes me wonder what i'm getting myself into. #
@TechSF lol, just my own observations from the sidelines. in reply to TechSF #
what do ppl expect the president to do regarding the oil spill? he's not an engineer, geologist, nor part of the clean-up crew. #
as if i'm watching a sports game, the couple behind me is giving a play-by-play of everything the plane crew is doing. #
judging by this woman's hair "style", unicorns truly do exist. #
liking how the interior of @alaskaair's planes have a hint of native american decor, making me feel warm and fuzzy all over. #
OH: "I can't get it to come out… Ohhhhh, here it comes!" #
this hawaiian music sure is getting me into the mid-western spirit; luckily there's a lei on our tail feather. #

sūp:urbia – dubiety

By {ns} | May 31, 2010

just squeezed this mix in before the start of the new month. with the new job, the upcoming move this summer, and all of the doubt and uncertainty that comes with the future, while at the same time trying to wrap up ongoing things, life and my sanity have been all over the place–back and forth. that, combined with the lack of spring/early summer weather here in seattle this month has simply amplified that chaotic and bipolar feeling, which gave way to the title of this mix and the overall sound the tracks combine to create.

enjoy the tracks.

monday morning and back to programming; alleviating the pain w/a motorcycle ride at lunch to take advantage of only good wx day this week. #
@MotoSuperstore typical seattle weather (and the spring that hasn't been) is not allowing for any long, decent rides lately. in reply to MotoSuperstore #
OH: "i would die for some pho right now. pho real!" (via @nmyra) #
mixing actionscript w/javascript. clearly not really awake. #
@nmyra two words: mainstream america. in reply to nmyra #
@dishnetwork works out deal w/@wxchannel, ditches their own "weather cast" channel against high subscriber support and disgust at @wxchannel #
dancing in my chair w/@friskyradio blasting. while coding. b/c i can. #
@roachmj yeah every now and then i'll catch his show…good stuff. i tend to favor tiesto, armin van buuren, markus schulz, pvd, etc. in reply to roachmj #
@roachmj oh, and of course my own mixes i try to release monthly. in reply to roachmj #
@roachmj can find most on my blog as "sūp:urbia": http://bit.ly/adGEbF or subscribe via itunes: http://bit.ly/chmUzv in reply to roachmj #
oh design, how i miss thee. #
Flash/HTML5: If the use case is anything more than simply playing a video, HTML5 isn't going to replace Flash anytime soon. (via @jcroft) #
"our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt." – shakespeare #
"finding people you trust is one of life's more difficult endeavors." http://bit.ly/cc0LmI [prob one of the most difficult] #
major #fail w/@mediatemple, apparently dns failure. thousands of sites down. #
i rarely have downtime w/@mediatemple's (dv) servers, and when i do it's my fault; their (gs) accounts usually cause the most problems. #
@kerusdotorg go for the milk! in reply to kerusdotorg #
sick of this cool, rainy, shitty seattle weather being that it's nearly june. it hasn't even reached 75+ degrees once this entire year yet. #
def loving @panic's transmit 4, esp how your server can now appear as a mounted drive accessible via finder. #
photoshop: "could not complete your request b/c of a program error." well, that's helpful info. #
don't understand how @wxchannel's site is one of the top for weather info b/c it seriously blows. horribly. #
sometimes even i forget how to live. #
OH: "i'd rather be cold than have sticky ass." #
@DeDubaya in reply to DeDubaya #
The MS kin sounds like a Hillbilly phone. (via @bbrooks) [haha, yes!] #
clearly i was run over by a bus in my deepest sleep last night. #
@crimhacksign oh, mine's def not that fragile… i've put it to the test many times already. in reply to crimhacksign #
disturbing: http://bit.ly/aOfNlw human extinction cannot happen soon enough. #
OH: "so much of my life is wasted just by peeing." #
reacquiring my long lost perspective on life. #
although i don't feel like i'm taking on more stuff, it feels like i have increasingly less time to do everything these days. #wtf #
OH: "you would never see that ass draped in levi's!" #
woke up to cool and rainy in seattle again. shocker. what's summer like again? #sigh #
i'd rather be relaxing in the texas hill country w/@nmyra; occasionally i do miss the motherland of texas. #
@mmatthews @comcast's ipad app will allow you to control your cable box, not sure if it's all cable boxes though. in reply to mmatthews #
the music. it's all so very dark, the way it should be. #
feeling nostalgic and needing a random trip back to texas soon, mainly austin, houston and everywhere in between. #
a huge, really huge, hot dog on wheels just drove by. oddly enough, not so hungry anymore. #
so, i finally buy a motorcycle and then it rains endlessly and the weather turns to shit for weeks. typical. #fml #
@seasnoboarder yep, finally got one a few weeks ago, black gixxer! still love ducs and will eventually upgrade a few years down the road. in reply to seasnoboarder #
cool + raining. again. and looks like we won't see much sun tomorrow now either, or for the next 7-10 days. MSP this week is my only hope. #
another rainy morning results in coffee, google reader, backups and server admin, perhaps the release of my may mix later this eve. #
@dp4 once you open it, i'll have to move next door. in reply to dp4 #
@seasnoboarder def! hope ur enjoying the sunny cali weather for the two of us, it really sucks here lol. in reply to seasnoboarder #
