  • looking forward to great line-up: http://www.dbfestival.com/schedule/performers. maybe one year sūp:urbia will appear on that list? #
  • thinking how much i would love to get more into electronic music album cover design… reflects my style and aesthetic. #
  • audio frequencies as visual art: http://xrl.us/ooy6v awesome! #
  • purchasing a new camera soon (current one is feeling its age and usage). thinking prob nikon d90? may as well go all the way… #
  • 12.3 megapixels. hd video. very nice: http://xrl.us/oozd2 #
  • once again, microsoft 50 steps behind: http://tinyurl.com/6kc2wm. this is microsoft’s existance: http://xrl.us/oozvz #
  • @laughingsquid more sources: http://xrl.us/oozxc http://xrl.us/oozxx and http://xrl.us/oozxv in reply to laughingsquid #
  • back from clubbing and unable to sleep. long night and day ahead. #
  • keeping up with the weather and live feeds coming from the landfall of hurricane gustav in louisiana. #
  • cnn’s meteorologist chad meyers is being ridiculously sensationalistic when talking about hurricane gustav and the levees. we’re not idiots. #
  • good thing about gym being closed on some holidays is that it forces me to take a recovery day i wouldn’t voluntarily take otherwise. #
  • upstairs neighbors have been walking (stomping) around all bloody day. seriously don’t understand what requires such constant movement. #
  • ugh, the sun and fair skies this morning. yuck! #
  • after working with RoR and dealing with server issues until the wee hours of the morning, i look at any code this morning in disgust. #
  • the only reason the GOP is “solidly backing” palin is b/c they don’t want to reveal their true angst from the piss-poor VP selection. #
  • this morning has been brought to you by the words “exhaustion”, “attention-deficiency”, and “caffeine” and the letter “f” (for FAIL)! #
  • um, the last thing i want when enjoying an espresso in a peaceful cafe environment is more technology in my face: http://tinyurl.com/6eppl3 #
  • pervasive computing is only successful when embedded in our environments, NOT in our faces at all times! #
  • damn ppl, complaining about how chrome doesn’t have some of FF’s features. hello!? it’s the initial release for christ’s sake! #
  • it’s sad how the media was hoping new orleans levees would fail during hurricane gustav just for a better story. destruction sells? #
  • initial thoughts on google chrome: very fast. poor design/aesthetic. agree with @nmyra in that it’s like browsing in a playground. #
  • anyone else sometimes get that feeling that conservative = lower level of intelligence and just following the herd? hrm… #
  • so far all most of those speaking at the RNC are women. mccain really reaching out to women voters. pretty pathetic and insulting. #
  • GOP talks about how we’re a nation at war. well, that’s b/c they want us to be. enough about war, what about domestic issues? #
  • i’m sorry, but just b/c you server in our military doesn’t make you fit to lead this country nor any more of a patriot. get off it already! #
  • the speakers at the RNC are so much worse and considerably less inspirational than those at the DNC, which merely speaks of their passion. #
  • RNC: not once did bush or thompson mention the economy or jobs, but were all about tax cuts and the war on terror. but, #1 issue is economy. #
  • why do ppl get so excited about getting engaged/married? seriously, in reality it’s probably a shame more than something exciting. #
  • ugh. society has turned to pure ugh-ness. #
  • in this election, VIRTUE is considerably more important than experience. essentially experience means absolutely nothing if you’re corrupt. #
  • $focusLevelToday = .13 * $normal; #
  • everyone needs some of these: http://xrl.us/op4vk #
  • OH: “piss in one of those cafeteria trays and then freeze it. once it’s frozen slide it under his door (the frozen sheet of piss only)” #
  • noticed feel like crap upon getting back into my apt, but was fine outside. taking a “personal day” and walking over to fremont in the sun. #
  • oh, and leaving behind phone. don’t want to be accessible today. at. all. #
  • experience of obama vs. palin: http://xrl.us/op5mc (first comment). pretty much sums it up. how can palin even claim she’s more experienced? #
  • RNC chanting “drill, baby drill” during michael steel’s brainwashing, i mean speech to ppl unable to think inependently, i mean republicans. #
  • banners at the RNC stating “drill now!” fuck, can we elect obama already and drive all conservatives from this country? #
  • huckabee is against racist discrimination, but yet approves of discrimination based on sexual orientation? hrm, sounds hypocritical to me. #
  • huckabee delivers his sermon of morality to the RNC. yawn… #
  • these speeches are bloody pathetic, not to mention given in a language 20 times lower in substance than those of the DNC. #
  • RNC’s theme seems to be that mccain has sacrificed for our country, thus make us feel guilty so we feel obligated to vote him into office. #
  • low blows and cheap attacks. i wouldn’t expect anything else from giuliani who’s good at being a complete dickhead. #
  • can we give the whole military service of mccain a fucking rest already? can we maybe talk about the now, what he’ll do NOW?! #
  • omfg. palin’s retarded and listening to her speak makes her seem more fit to be NFL cheerleader than our VP. #
  • palin’s “commander in chief” claim is bogus, oops: http://tinyurl.com/593fp5 #
  • huckabee’s claim palin more votes for mayor than biden for pres. if you do your homework, results are diff: http://xrl.us/op6ff #
  • odd how palin hasn’t really talked about her political background isn’t it? #
  • people in the crowd at the RNC look a little confused after palin’s speech. well, i admit i’m a little confused as well. #
  • ooh, her family is on stage now. can we get another one of those hair lick/pat downs from her daughter? please, for the country? #
  • interesting how the entire DNC saw no personal attacks/slurs; RNC saw about 10 in the first 20 minutes, giuliani’s was one continuous one. #
  • i think i’m going to be sick. feel the need to vomit after subjecting myself to all of that. #
  • biden said palin’s speech was “amazing” and that she is “so good.” what? um, hope he’s being sarcastic. #
  • hrm, new coffee has a hint of weed flavor with it. didn’t see that one in the ingredients. #
  • carmina burana: the perfect song to start off the day with. loud. very, very loud. #
  • fact check from the RNC. surprise, they exaggerated the truth! http://tinyurl.com/6jojfb #
  • WOW, check the facts about huckabee’s claim regarding votes. the truth: palin=1,525 (both 96 and 99), biden=76,165. #
  • google chrome collects keystrokes before actually clicking ’search’? i knew there was an underlying reason for them to launch a browser. #
  • having more weed-flavored coffee. that’s not the roast or origin i picked out, but def interesting… #
  • more and more i realize how out of touch ppl in this country really are. palin’s speech was amazing b/c she fought dirty, all that matters? #
  • why don’t we focus on the issues that matter rather than supporting those who could care less about you but know how to attack and insult! #
  • wondering why i keep finding more and more display/css differences btwn FF2 and FF3. like the IE issues weren’t enough to deal with! #
  • just dive-bombed by a swarm of pigeons while walking down the sidewalk. WTF! #
  • @davewiner not watching the speech but somehow already know exactly what you’re talking about! in reply to davewiner #
  • finally getting around to watching mccain’s speech. monotonous. forced smiles. evil cackle. empty. language on elementary level. shoot me. #
  • not to mention the chanting of ‘usa’ in the background being annoying as hell. #
  • once again he fails to talk about what the fuck he’s going to do. realizing mccain/palin isn’t going to do a damn thing in office. #
  • sounds like mccain is giving a graduation speech. sorry, but we need a president with a greater intelligence rather than community service. #
  • odd how everyone wants lower taxes, but then wants govt to provide all of these public services. idiots, you can’t have both! #
  • @nmyra omg you’re right! i have yet to see a non-white person in the crowd! sad. very sad. in reply to nmyra #
  • republicans and the politics of resentment: http://tinyurl.com/6p6w7z #
  • @subimage lol! the PS battles on QBN are hit or miss, but that one is pretty good! in reply to subimage #
  • @isdereks yes, and those commercials are bloody annoying! in reply to isdereks #
  • seattle-based rock group “heart” (and others) tell mccain/palin campaign to stop using their songs: http://xrl.us/oqeci #
  • love the dark progressive sounds from cj art: http://xrl.us/oqedo #
  • watching someone trying to parallel park in a spot that could fit three cars in it. nevertheless, they are extremely cautious and slow. #
  • damn you php! you and your damn cookies! #
  • argh beatport.com you’re running ridiculously slow this morning! #
  • Palin refuses to talk to the media? Coward! What does she have to hide? Oh right, everything! #
  • He may have had bravery while in the service, but right now mccain and palin are complete cowards. Straight talk? Hardly! #
  • @tomcarmony that’s what I thought but perhaps it’s their first step towards “reform” in reply to tomcarmony #
  • @tomcarmony the next step is pulling her from the debates altogether. Without a script she may say something her campaign won’t like. in reply to tomcarmony #
  • @tomcarmony that sums up my fear through this entire election. Sad thing is it usually ends up as popularity contest anyway unfortunately. in reply to tomcarmony #
  • Done with awesome lunch outside. Heading back for work and coffee reload for a few, then gym round 2 for today. #
  • As much as I’m ready for summer to be over and the cold and rain to return, the weather in Seattle today is awesome! #
  • Downtown seattle http://twitpic.com/ahou #
  • since i’ve started mixing, been analytically listening to all music thinking about how to mix them with other songs and picking out beats. #
  • just purchased a load of tunes this morning from beatport.com, now listening through all of them picking out what to use. ah inspiration! #
  • the red-tailed hawk is back on the streetlight within view of my window and is pissing off the black birds like crazy. yay! i’ve missed him. #
  • damn you! delete! delete! delete! argh…. #
  • @jlarsen76 both. i like his “don’t give a shit about you” attitude. in reply to jlarsen76 #
  • @nmyra correction: it’s php AND js. in reply to nmyra #
  • gym round 2: goal=complete_exhaustion #
  • hilarious! john stewart obliterates mccain’s acceptance speech: http://xrl.us/oqh9s #
  • meeting up at #juno where there’s a plethora of wine that needs to be consumed: http://www.junorestaurant.com/ #
