OH @Shocked439: While driving, I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it … thanks, Mario Kart.
Hmmm … in retrospect, not a good idea to chop strawberries on the same cutting board where you chopped garlic last night. Gross.
RedLaser is #2 on iTunes Store. RT and help push it to #1! Congrats to the awesome @occipital guys!
OH: “No. If we give into whining … it’s the end of days for us”
I don’t understand OSX’s algorithm for resizing windows when you add/remove an external monitor. It always seems like utter chaos.
Red laser from @occipital is now up to #4 rank in iTunes app store. http://yfrog.com/5g7tqij (via @davidcohen)

Just finished @drawohara’s metakoans.rb http://rubyquiz.com/quiz67.html. A crazy, fun, weird exercise.
Also, is it just me, or are dentists more market-oriented than doctors? I see more competition w/ tech and procedures (& u see marketing).
Fascinating piece on health care: http://bit.ly/5z89F. Has any country been able to provide good health care w a system like the 1 proposed?
USSR built retaliatory doomsday device but never told US. Why? B/c It was designed to deter them, not us http://bit.ly/dz3Gz
Went on a good hike today. Weird to start the day with hiking in snow and come back to 84 and sunny in Boulder.
Perfect example: I’ve been putting off the TODO ‘Go to dentist’ for weeks. Just broke it down into 4 concrete steps, each of which seem easy
Boulderites: recommendation for a good Boulder dentist? Just need to schedule a regular checkup and wasn’t impressed with my last dentist
Another problem is that “9 days ago” is context-dependent. If you see it on a printout or screenshot, you’re generally screwed. (via @ab9)
Agree: … Or even if you see it in a browser, but the page hasn’t been reloaded since last night. (via @ab9)
Wow, FoodScanner is on the Digg frontpage http://www.digg.com! (via @vikasreddy)
Thanks to everyone for your help today! We are #1 on digg! http://digg.com/d315R6X (via @dailyburn) (That’s 4/4) (via @occipital)

… and since I rarely know the current date (especially when I’m concentrating), I also need to a calendar lookup. Just show the damn date!
Why do app developers love displaying dates like ‘9 days ago’? Does anyone find this useful? Thanks, you’ve just given me a math problem.
Ugh, Ruby 1.8.7 on Snow Leopard and Macports segfaults so much. No idea what the problem is, but it’s annoying.

Boulderites: Any recommendations for a bike shop? I’m trying Full Cycle on Pearl, but, so far, their customer service has been pretty bad.
RedLaser is at #90 in top paid apps http://tinyurl.com/mk8pjr! And Snapture is at #21 http://tinyurl.com/ls2hz9! (via @occipital)
Whoa - Crows are freaky smart. Fascinating http://bit.ly/17JZlc
It’s a Seattle-esque day here in Boulder
Just finished the last episode of Freaks & Geeks last night. I’m sorry but that show is hugely overrated. I’m looking at you, @steveheisler

Hurl makes HTTP requests. Enter a URL, set some headers, then view the response. Perfect for APIs.
Why does increasing/decreasing the font size in OS X’s Terminal change the window size? Why would anyone want that to happen?
Reliving my busy day in reverse by closing tens of Firefox tabs.
If you require ‘fakeweb’ before ‘right_aws’, tests will fail. Do the reverse, and things seem to work #standup
Learning FakeWeb for some unit tests I’m writing.
New blog post: Announcing the Devver API (alpha version 0.1) http://bit.ly/3MyTqR (via @devver) - We’re looking for feedback, so try it out!
There’s a strong correlation between the length of time since I’ve committed & the stress on my brain. i.e. Small commits == clear thinking.
In #devver on irc.freenode.net until 4PM MDT. Happy to answer questions & help with problems.
Been having problems with Devver? I’ll be in #devver on irc.freenode.net to provide help for the next 3 hours. Come say hi!
I think Fall just arrived in Boulder today without my consent. I was -not- done playing with Summer yet. (via @neogia)
Bitten by monkey-patching. Friends don’t let friends distribute gems that use ‘extensions/all’
I could swear Genius mixes have a very strong preference for iTunes Exclusive content
I don’t really have a strong preference for Markdown vs. Textile, but I would one to kill the other.
Whoever puts TV shows on DVD: Pressing Skip Chapter during opening credits should skip ONLY the credits, NOT part of the actual show!

I hate that, by default, ‘paste’ means ‘paste with formatting’. I almost never want the formatting.
