twitter weekly updates for 2008-11-30

  • evolving into a night owl as i automatically wake up earlier and earlier and my sleeping pattern nearly reverses. #
  • when you work from home, the weekends don’t matter as you usually end up working through them anyway. wait, what is today again? #
  • updating my #readernaut book listing and reviewing other users’ comments. just another daily distraction to add to my growing list. #
  • wishing godaddy.com didn’t require you to go through 20 jumbled screens of useless offers just to checkout. #
  • just bought owlspotter.com for what could be a fun little experiment and side project. now to pull an all-nighter to throw it together… #
  • taking a break btwn projects while allowing my brain thought process to switch from design to programming. sometimes easier said than done. #
  • the weather today is calling me to do something outdoorsy, like a hike, but i don’t have the time (nor a car)! argh! #
  • you know you live in the suburbs when you have to take the freeway to get home. #
  • yet another reason I don’t miss not having a tv: xmas commercials. #
  • up at 5am, but fortunately was able to “sleep in” an hour and a half later this morning than the previous two mornings. #
  • i remain baffled that marijuana, medically proven as beneficial, remains illegal most places yet alcohol is completely legal. f*ked up govt! #
  • esp considering time and time again alcohol has done more harm than good to individuals and society. makes no sense… #
  • @hwlee oh, how cliche! in reply to hwlee #
  • OH: “i’m sorry about your freckled banana.” #
  • gradually checking things off my todo list this morning. love that mondays are usually the most productive for me. #
  • put together a simple automator app to quickly add events to your iCal without having to go through iCal: http://tr.im/1fze #
  • err bad url… here’s the right one (re ical automator): http://tr.im/1g0w #
  • i love it when clients request you to do the impossible simply b/c of their lack of understanding. #
  • @chiah great stuff! @kevinrose mentioned you guys on diggnation the other day: http://tr.im/1glm in reply to chiah #
  • flash = crash number 4 of the hour. argh! #
  • thinking i need to take an extended break from programming, and by extended i mean more than a couple of days. #
  • realized i haven’t tweeted yet this morning, so here it is! also, haven’t had coffee yet either FTL. #
  • Finally a more typical fall day in Seattle! http://twitpic.com/o01x #
  • Photoshop cs3’s performance lately totally sucks. WTF! FAIL!! #
  • I swear photoshop, if you make me reboot I’m gonna… I’m gonna… probably sit here and bitch about it. #
  • what good are long-range weather forecast models (i.e. GFS) when they are rarely reliable beyond day 7? nothing but frustration! #
  • reviewing the 2009 sxsw interactive panels. #
  • excited that the iphone app store has an “Update All” option as I’m not about to sit here and update all apps individually. #
  • burning up and being blinded by the sun pouring through the cafe window at a low angle, reminded why i don’t like the sun all that much. #
  • needing to run to the store to buy the goods for tomorrow, but will wait until later tonight to avoid the madness. #
  • gobbling gobble gobble. gobble? #
  • OH: “just like dancing, it’s sex standing up. that’s why the baptists don’t do it!” #
  • peeling yams over coffee. #
  • realizing i’m thankful for the simplest things in life: friends, family, music, art, nature and of course owls. #
  • reading about recent amazing architecture and urban design projects across europe and wondering why americans can’t get their shit together. #
  • luckily my gym is closed today, otherwise i would feel much more guilty about take a day off from working out. recovery day ftw! #
  • Ugh very full, unfortunately so much wine and liquor to consume. Yeah life is tough today. #
  • some nice industrial design work here: http://www.hellokarl.com/ #
  • just came across the electronic group “four tet”… highly recommended. #
  • the whole black friday and xmas shopping period is completely ridiculous. #
  • buy nothing day (though should be more like a week): http://www.adbusters.org/campaigns/bnd #
  • deaths at stores due to black friday? really pathetic and only validates my point. #
  • suffering through a food coma. the thought of food is making me completely sick, with the exception being coffee of course. ugh. #
  • Observing the hipster dancing at #chopsuey. #
  • wondering why is it that immediately the day after thanksgiving the xmas decorations suddenly appear everywhere, but out of nowhere? #
  • OH: “i never complain about having some good sausage.” #
  • low temps in seattle didn’t drop below 50 last night. 55 now. so much for decent mtn snows. damn this boring-ass blowtorch winter! argh!! #
  • though def promising things going for a pacnw arctic outbreak this winter: strongly -PDO, neutral ENSO, weeks of benign wx, blowtorch temps. #
  • i’m calling it now: by late dec or jan we will finally have a period of brutal cold across WA state with a big snowstorm for seattle. #
  • Strolling around downtown SEA. Tons of ppl and so many xmas crap out everywhere already. Ugh. #
  • Feeling like I’m walking around central park in NYC with the crowds an noise. http://twitpic.com/p2zi #
  • Anyone else notice how ppl get more clueless and self-absorbed when in crowded public places? #
  • work requires nothing but programming, but suffering from complete programming burnout lately. 2009 starts focus on primarily design. #
