everyone is washing their cars in sunny seattle. — at Barrier Audi http://gowal.la/s/QNd #
spring fever in full effect. #
mtn biking. buy a motorcycle. photography. hiking. so many options w/this weather, but stuck inside programming instead. it'll pay off tho. #
the olympics were so last week; now that snowboarding events are over it's def not worth watching. #
wish i enjoyed talking to my reflection as much as this random guy on the street. wonder what kinds of conversations i would have w/myself. #

"lost continent" w/koni via @purefm is amazing right now, even though it's not easing the pain of debugging this crap. #
nowadays everyone seems to think their stuff is urgent. #
more ppl die in car accidents than on planes and/or terrorist acts combined; why, then, do we have ridiculous body scanners in airports now? #
ppl love that false sense of security our fine government provides, oblivious to the freedoms they're actually taking away from us. #

@jdlathrop very true, which is why i'm a man of few words. in reply to jdlathrop #
loves @beatport! #
my brain hurts! #
the weather out is a reflection of how my brain feels, cloudy and mushy; nothing a pot-o-coffee can't fix (hopefully). #
head buried in actionscript, rarely coming up for air. #
well not totally buried, picking out tracks for my (late) feb sup:urbia mix as itunes iterates through my playlists. #

trying to wake up, and dreading all the work i have to get done today amidst everything else. #
living in seattle makes you forget what the sun looks like and how bright a day really should be b/c of the endless clouds and rain. #
@dp4 very true, and any tan seattlelite obviously has at least one of those "fake-n-bake" contracts. in reply to dp4 #
RT @marcamos: Dear Four Square users, can you please disable the post-to-twitter crap? (via @kerusdotorg) [and gowalla, and loopt, and...] #

@thedaveywavey do they grow oranges in australia? in reply to thedaveywavey #
@kerusdotorg i'm suffering the same, and nothing seems to be working. in reply to kerusdotorg #
trying to find my groove this morning, nothing seems to be working; music must go louder, esp since it's "the passage" via @friskyradio. #
the world waits for no one. #
glad its rain and ice at @stevenspass most of this week so i have no desire to snowboard while my knee tries to recover. #
@cmglothlin ooh, but i like danger. in reply to cmglothlin #
@dp4 @cmglothlin i much prefer shining men's shoes instead. in reply to dp4 #
@cmglothlin so what does the interview process consist of? need to make sure i block out enough time in my busy schedule w/clients. in reply to cmglothlin #
@dp4 thinking we may need to setup a photo shoot to be used with the promo materials. in reply to dp4 #
@jdlathrop experience tells me so. in reply to jdlathrop #
with the endless rain in seattle the past few days, i'm planning on converting all of my jeans to high-waters on steroids. #
it's becoming more and more clear why i don't stay in contact with my family, their fake bullshit is something i don't need in my life. #
desperately needing some outdoor time, and the brief glimpse of sun right now is not helping; unfortunately conditions suck for snowboarding #
…not to mention work is piling up considerably this week. #
take down the damn christmas lights. thanks, the residents. #
nothing lasts forever. #
sifting through 2500 lines of an as2 mess. #

@jonsinger @dp4 @foxtrotumbrella i'd much rather prefer mushroom heads over fungus balls. in reply to jonsinger #

FML! #
RT @nathansmith: RT @Hans_R #Facebook is like a monster ate a million random webpages, snacked on an advertising firm, then puked. #

it's time for an integration. clearly i missed the memo. #
@FoxtrotUmbrella i always see women using the hip abduction machine, and a guy every now and then lol. in reply to FoxtrotUmbrella #
OH: "life's a bitch because if it were a slut, then it would be too easy." #
productive day thus far, though i'd still rather be snowboarding at @stevenspass; amazing how much of a better mood i'm in when code works. #
blasting this song, tiesto is breathtakingly amazing! http://bit.ly/5dYpqQ #
@jdlathrop 1. it's not pouring down rain anywhere near seattle; 2. i thought your phone died? oh, and tell your bellevue bf hey for me lol. in reply to jdlathrop #
"if you could see into the future, would you do it different now?" um, yeah usually. #
i obviously spoke too soon. #
wrapping up some work this morning over coffee, then finally getting some snowboaring in at @stevenspass w/@jdlathrop this afternoon! #
@cmglothlin unless you're usually the one making the first move, then it just gets old and monotonous. in reply to cmglothlin #
@jdlathrop from my observations, you're already well familiar and experienced with those. in reply to jdlathrop #
@ptcatatlyst he was making up stories to get a response lol. in reply to ptcatatlyst #
@cmglothlin I have a similar approach, though remain stand-offish until they have earned my trust, which is usually a long, painful process. in reply to cmglothlin #
feel like i'm back in texas w/the many cowboy hats in this town; how much farther to seattle? #
awesome snowboarding day at @stevenspass, now time to chillax in preparation for tons of work to complete tomorrow. #
