chilling in the qantas lounge prior to boarding — I have to manage the 30° to 0° shift somehow, and I'm counting on alcohol making it easier

29December2010 23:04

so I'm leaving in a few hours, I guess I should start packing — what does one take on a 10 week trip?

the king's speech is a great film — incredible, moving story, delivered by an outstanding cast at their best

29December2010 05:53

tron legacy looks beautiful and has great sci-punk soundtrack, but is a dreadful movie, plot full of techno-fetishist digital salvation

29December2010 02:07

getting in a final dose of sydney before flying out tomorrow; trying to pretend like the money's not going to run out

28December2010 03:19

days of eating made running again difficult (who knew?!), but after the initial hurdle gave me stores I don't usually have — 11k worth

26December2010 23:43

i own and love 7 of The Factual Opinion's top 10 songs of 2010, so bought the albums containing the remaining 3 http://bit.ly/hbxTjo

on the way home from work, to-do list finished, out-of-office email on, and I don't have to return for three months #nice

21December2010 20:33

putting together a marketing strategy for a hypothetical product and audience I know next to nothing about; interesting

20December2010 07:22

we're after a backend (.NET and/or CF) f/t and a flex contractor RT @GrudenGroup Looking for developers http://bit.ly/egATGL

19December2010 07:54

supposed to return to work tomorrow but the celebrations are continuing; the year's almost over now, right?

17December2010 04:35

congratulations to @tbearosaurus and @truerelativity — gorgeous wedding!

16December2010 05:28

sometimes a holiday means deleting the work email account from the iphone

15December2010 06:59

closing out the work year now: away down south for the next two days then packing up next week then three months off!

14December2010 02:47

received the gawker compromise warning email, but i don't have an account, but then where'd they get my email?

13December2010 23:59

just published a piece about the WCAG 2.0 transition at the @GrudenGroup blog http://blog.gruden.com/2010/12/what-does-wcag-2-mean-for-me/

13December2010 07:55

linen shirt acquired, thanks to my good friend giorgio, but I'm struggling to find a seasonally-appropriate waistcoat

12December2010 10:42

cool change at twilight. 7km run under moonlight. beautiful end to the weekend.

12December2010 02:00

"my liberation as a man is tied to your liberation as a woman" http://on.ted.com/8lSx -> interesting talk from TEDWomen

11December2010 12:06

well that was interesting, and a reminder of much I just don't get other people

11December2010 06:39

curious that the OpenLeaks model looks far more potentially dangerous (eg to troops, spies &c), and it's forced by shutdown of #wikileaks

11December2010 01:08

fair game is great, but disheartening throughout and its attempt at an uplifting ending doesn't ring true

10December2010 23:03

catching an early session of Fair Game; so far only person in the cinema (@ Event Cinemas Parramatta) http://4sq.com/5c0A6T

10December2010 10:34

watching sarah connor chronicles; reached the "come with me if you want to live" with a flash of recognition #squee and I get the attraction

08December2010 09:28

martinis are a great way to finish a day workshopping; and yes, I am developing a thing for martinis

07December2010 20:58

really enjoyed steven johnson's Invention of Air; part biography, part history, part treatise on science and religion and politics

07December2010 04:30

office environment is so not conducive to writing, so it's difficult when i'm supposed to be writing for work

06December2010 21:01

frankly, there's nothing new or surprising in #wikileaks, but the righteous indignation it's prompting is just delicious

06December2010 21:00

typically cogent commentary from @timbray re #wikileaks http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2010/12/05/Wikileaks

04December2010 23:34

alexander chee has a brilliant essay about reading in the morning news: http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/personal_essays/i_reader.php

04December2010 06:49

i want to follow and update both twitter and facebook; tweetdeck's just a crappy twitter app and a crappy fb app in one; any alternatives?

02December2010 23:35

wearing levis, ironically of course — so uncool they swing back around

02December2010 09:24

#ugh late night commuters' dinner (maccas); I regret it already

02December2010 01:53

finished reading italo calvino's _if on a winter's night a traveller_; an incredible read, all about the act and myth of reading
