@fsiler Agreed, but I'll take Anonymous over WBC any day of the week, and at least they're focusing on someone worthy of shame for once. in reply to fsiler #
@smashingmag Windows: Win+E -> open new explorer window. Mac: Cmd+Opt+Arrows -> move between spaces. #smshortcut in reply to smashingmag #
RT @fsiler: Outrageous, and not surprising: http://es.pn/eIkbaP @ljwkeating #
It's small and silly, but every time I parallel park my car, I cheer a little inside. #littlethings #
@Picklemans from Columbia? There's no #Lawrence location mentioned on your website. in reply to Picklemans #
@Picklemans That makes more sense. I was a bit surprised that you'd deliver to Lawrence from Columbia, but Mass St is much more reasonable. in reply to Picklemans #
@brianfenton @suzi_quzi indeed, though I don't know if I have the time or money for one right now. Still interested in possible info though. in reply to brianfenton #
Dealing with email issues due to setting up 2-factor auth on my Google Apps account… error messages would have been nice. #wtf Google? #
@into_the_beams It's ok. The vast majority of my devices are named after Les Miserables characters. #notashamed #geeksunite in reply to into_the_beams #
@moshner Has it seriously been 12 weeks already? Holy crap… in reply to moshner #
@brianfenton What about things like used exercise equipment? I've thought about making a "wanted" post for a working treadmill. #freeisgood in reply to brianfenton #
@brianfenton Agreed. Where it becomes ridiculous is when people ask for _everything_ they need rather than just _something_ they need. in reply to brianfenton #
Shouldn't have posted this on Fri @5: How do you digest your @twitter feed? Results will be on my blog. http://cdrm.co/1p (feel free to RT) #

Really need something with caffeine in it right now… falling asleep in phsx. #sleepy #wanttogohome #
@KariByron How's it feel to have 10000+ people follow you in < 24h and wait with bated breath to hear what you have to say? Not a bad start! #

Why is ActiveX (which has been notoriously insecure in the past) supposed to be a reason to use #IE9 http://nyti.ms/gY3zxh #
. @MSFTnews should have been more specific. @nytimes said the ability to _disable_ ActiveX was a benefit of #IE9 not the ability to use it. #
Amen, sister! Just had that for lunch. RT @Melp682: Taco Bell, I just can't quit you. #truth #
"What you do for a living is not be creative, what you do is ship." Good video for devs and managers. http://ow.ly/3XL2p #
Looks like it's going to be a looooong weekend. *sigh* #
#AI has come a long way over the years… congratulations on your Jeopardy win, @ibm_news! http://cdrm.co/14 #
Time for a nice long afternoon of classes… #woohoo #canigohomeyet #
It's true… #sigh @brianfenton @johnkary @noahhendrix in reply to brianfenton #
@djwaldow "email"… "e-mail" just feels outdated anymore. in reply to djwaldow #
How do you digest your @twitter feed? Blog post sometime next week with results. http://cdrm.co/1p (feel free to RT) #
@tswicegood I know the feeling… it's been a pretty bum week for me as well. Thank goodness it's over! (at least the "8-5" part anyway) in reply to tswicegood #

First run in almost two weeks

16 Feb 2011

It’s frustrating how easy it is to stop doing something. But I finally managed to get back out and run last night after two weeks without anything. I still haven’t gotten to writing my recap of the polar plunge and strut from January, but I promise it’s coming (with pictures and video!).

I’m going to change up the format of my posts about runs. I don’t want/need to focus so much on my time for my daily/routine runs, so I’ll just post the mileage and totals at the end of each week.

So for yesterday, 2/15, I had a nice 2.1 mile jog/walk with Orion. I’m planning to jog a bit tonight as well, but I have a busy night ahead of me, so we’ll see.

On second thought, I need to run, not make excuses… so if I wind up having a late night run, so be it.

Talk to you later.

Wow… *really* good talk on #airportsecurity by Bruce Schneier. ~35 mins. Watch the whole thing… good stuff. http://ow.ly/3RW5m #
If you're on a Mac laptop and have the newest version of chrome try tilting your computer when you visit google.com #welldone (from @simonw) #
My car got stuck coming onto campus this morning… thank goodness for the kind people who helped push me past the stop sign. #tiredofsnow #
I liked a YouTube video — Jayhawk Buddies Flash Mob during University of Kansas Men's … http://youtu.be/W_sET0J07KM?a #
I really hope this isn't vaporware… RT @nickdenardis: This "NoteSlate" thing is exactly what I have been looking for! http://j.mp/hOYzlO #
Heading home for lunch a few minutes early today in the hopes that I can find a parking spot when I get back… if I get back, that is. #
WTF, @sprintcare? My phone got wiped, and the only response I get is "We can't tell you why, and your backup doesn't include apps." #notcool #
.@philmartinez I wish I could say the same thing… I got a complete brush off. /cc @sprint @sprintcare #
@sprintcare Phone got reset to factory defaults overnight… called custserv and was told "we can't help you and we don't know why". in reply to sprintcare #
@sprintcare Not yet, but I can try to take it in this wknd… SD card was intact… just lost all my apps/settings. Very annoying. in reply to sprintcare #
@sprintcare Worst part was being told a backup wouldn't have helped, since backups don't include installed apps/settings. in reply to sprintcare #
@sprintcare HTC Hero… never heard of it myself. Battery sometime while I was asleep, and when I charged/turned it back on, it was dead. in reply to sprintcare #
@sprintcare The down side of redownloading apps is the painstaking process of manually searching/downloading 30+ apps… very time consuming in reply to sprintcare #

Cancel tomorrow's plans: The NWS has issued a blizzard warning for DG Co 6a Tu to 6a W; 10-14" of snow expected #snowpocalypse

The most useful text message… EVER.

4 Feb 2011

If you have read through my archives (before last month, that wouldn’t have taken too long), you know that I get a kick when terrorists’ plans go awry. On New Year’s Eve a suicide bomber was planning to blow herself up near Red Square in Moscow, Russia. Unfortunately for her, the cell phone she was planning to use as the detonator received a text from her wireless carrier wishing her a happy new year. This text set off the bomb, killing her and foiling her plan to kill innocent people.

All I have to say to that is “AWESOME”.
