Gingerly walked around some police action on Shattuck tonight in Berkeley — maybe ten cruisers, 100 people in small groups on the sidewalks
MacPorts has shat the bed. Unable to find /opt/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib, which was apparently deleted while trying to upgrade wget. AWESOME
Man, why the hell does Chef use CouchDB?
Totally failing to feel sorry for Arrington. He might not deserve it, but he sure as shit earned it.
No wonder my @zappos order came so quick! http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/01/retailrobots.html I BOUGHT SHOES FROM SKYNET
Unsubscribing from my friends’ email list. 20 emails a day on bacon, llamas, whiskey, and leftist critiques of Obama. Oy.
According to JWZ I have both lots of regular expressions and lots of problems. I concur.
Kind of horrified at what iPhoto ‘09’s face recognition system thinks of the women I’ve dated. YES I HAVE A TYPE THANK YOU COMPUTER.

Reading about ZooKeeper. *This* is big fun.
RailsConf registration is open. Yeah, no.
Apparently TinyURL is having issues right now. http://is.gd/hkKE
I’m sometimes amazed at the shit we can do when we put our minds to it: http://tinyurl.com/blw62g (NFSW, but not badly)
My @zappos package arrived before my tracking number did.
The Google ads on my “premature optimization” search are hilarious.
God damn I do some weird shit with my spare time: http://github.com/codahale/jsecretsharing/tree/master

Probably the most straight-forward breakdown of an oft-baconhanded set of principles.
Spruce to Grizzly Peak to Skyline to Redwood to Pinehurst to Moraga Way around the hills to 23rd St. to the Bay Trail back home. Word.

Gonna spend a lot of time with this one, methinks.
Don’t worry, TextMate. I won’t judge you based on the fact that scrolling through the file in a large project makes you shit yourself.
Hmm. Writing these specs is making me think “Unicorns travel in pairs, unicorns are white, unicorns like apples, et cetera.”
Headed into the office, I suppose. Otherwise, I’ve packed this lunch for naught.
Hmm. My neighbor is rocking out to Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Somehow, I expected better.
Gojira is exactly what I needed to listen to.
Why do I love working with crypto so much? I am such a nerd sometimes.
Wow. TextMate’s Git bundle totally effed up a project of mine. Nothing permanent, but jeez.
OMFG MY NEW BICYCLE IS AWESOME http://tinyurl.com/btsscc
Benchmarking asymmetric encryption algorithms. Even that doesn’t run the fans like a Flash video.
So much more productive when listening to metal. If I like Meshuggah and SYL, what else should I be listening to?

Like Log4J for System.nanoTime().
Just got the most awesome request ever from my boss. I love this place. (Not sarcastic at all.)
Barack Obama is left-handed? OH GOD WE’VE MADE A HORRIBLE MISTAKE

Well, it’s official. http://tinyurl.com/8xr9cx
Is Adobe actively sabotaging Flash for OS X? I find it hard to believe software that bad could be unintentional, despite Hanlon’s Razor.

Wow.
Best part of Trattoria Corso: the food. The worst part: these soulless fucks at the next table.

Note to self: Do not forget this name, you aphasic weirdo.
Man, Hulu ads couldn’t be less convincing if there was a dude doing the “do not listen to this person” motion in the background.
How the fuck does anyone watch 24? That is some *terrible* TV.
Oh man. Nice, long ride today — Orinda around to Berkeley, then back up into the hills. Loving my new setup.
Is it just me, or is BSG’s soundtrack now made exclusively from Pink Floyd clips?
(BTW, the Brooks is a bicycle saddle. http://tinyurl.com/8rpdyu=11-055 No horsies or ponygirls.)
Seriously impressed with my new Brooks saddle. My first leather saddle — can’t wait to take it on a long ride tomorrow.
Gotta replace TextMate with something that doesn’t need 1GB of virtual memory after 24 hours…
Today is not one of those super-focused, productive days. That was last night. Today… fleh.
Seriously tempted to sign up for the iPhone developer program just so I can run Tweetie in an emulator on my desktop. SO GOOD.
The new version of Tweetie looks even better in the morning.
