The wicked combo of three week old and three year old is kicking my ass… tired like I’m working in a coal mine all day.
After a morning spent discussing Mac configs and Asset Management exports I want a Jackson Hole burger.
ASX - hah! my 3 year old’s first tweet! she was grabbing at the key board and hit the “a” “s” and “x” keys while Twhirl was hot.
Retweeting @megfowler: really, who the hell am I? i’m some writerface. there are a million writers in any given city, weeping at keyboards.
Just got a Twine invite and now I’m playing around inside it… trying to figure it out. Anybody else in here?
You know things are bad when every 140 character phrase that comes to your mind you dismiss as crap… Twitter’s Block.

Adam Greenfileld’s astute observations of a Web 2.0 Expo panel that he didn’t attend. Makes me wish I saw it as well - and that I was sitting next to Greenfield.

Something interesting: clicked links in AIR apps don’t open with Camino 1.6 as default browser; OS X - 10.5.2 Macbook 2GHz.

Looks like the traditional firewall between advertising and editorial is slowly coming down. This is an ethical sticking point with a lot of editorial types, but it might just be necessary if…

This is an amazing video by Stefan Nadleman that depicts the history of war since WWII with the ethnic foods representing the countries they’re from. I can’t do it justice; you have to see it. Big…

Baby and mother home from hospital, floors have been finished, and I am just days away from a new TV (Sony XBR perhaps) - all good.
