  • Writing a geotag-reading Twitter Silverlight app #
  • Can everyone who follows me DM @mlbtraderumors and tell them that I should develop their iPhone app? I'm totally serious. I WANT THAT JOB. #
  • Full moon 12/31 will be directly overhead at midnight, all across the world. #
  • Swype appears to be same as SHARK / ShapeWriter -- fastest text entry method on tablet I ever found -- but I thought SHARK was patented? #
  • So now the TSA is going to ban white powders and syringes? First, my Gatorade. Now, my coke and heroin. The terrorists have won. #
  • Vanishing employment interactive map. Depressing http://www.slate.com/id/2216238/ #
  • Pro tip: When releasing a new library / framework, say it was 'rapidly embraced and became a de facto standard' #
  • 2 cruise ships in Kailua Kona Bay today. It's been awhile. I know it'll slow down again next week, but at least local biz gets a bump. #
  • Trying to use Kinesis ergonomic keyboard. Very difficult to adjust; the shape is radical. Picture's don't do it justice. #
  • Remembering 12/31/99: the Millennium Bug, my dot-com share-vesting schedule ("in 6 mos, you will have a sheaf of TP"), Dreamcast, parties... #
  • #code2009 Ruby, C#, ActionScript, PHP, JavaScript #
  • #10yearsago I was VP of a dot-com, paper millionaire, filing patents, expensing 25YO Macallan. Were it not for my friends, a total asshole. #
  • Looking back at 09, the thing that jumps out is that I spent a LOT of time on things that I KNEW wouldn't reward. I need to change that. #
  • Tasmanian Devil species-threatening disease found to be "infectious cancer" http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/01/science/01devil.html #
  • Just saw a Hawaiian hoary bat in the last of the twilight. See you in 2010, Batty! #
  • RT \@secretGeek: There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors. #
  • Swam with dolphins, saw some spectacular whale breaches yesterday. Great recovery from crappy dog-barking wakeup @ 5:30am (thx neighbors!) #
  • Shark upright vacuum cleaner broke 3rd time I used it. Piece o' crap. Hope Target will give me my money back. #
