Settling in for @Pickell’s final production of The Bird and The Bee. Sold out theatre, should be a great show! # Today pretty much sucked for most of my colleagues. I miss them already. # Aggressive bathroom attendants make it less likely that I will wash my hands. I’m just saying. # Writing too many [...]

A Shady Thang w/ a meyers dark rum floater makes everything better. # @pat_ramsey re: Korea. Almost certainly. I just like to periodically remind people that the Korean War, nor its U.S. commitment, never ended # Things I don’t like in the morning: surprise company meetings. # …and there goes my bus. Frack. #

Calling it a day and heading to play some Trivial Pursuit w/ friends, a weekly tradition. Very productive today, yet nothing NEEDED was done # Testing whether Twitter still fully displays text updates if they’re over 140 chars. I think now even the individual update’s page will … # @palpatim Oh god, that’s awful. # [...]

Doing some LinkedIn/Facebook/email catching-up while @RNSuprJade cooks what smells like a delicious soup for dinner. # is awake and working way too early for no compelling reason. # Gizmo needs your help in becoming Austin’s Best in Show! http://tr.im/dblk – Vote yes on #10! # @ssummers Sweet. You’re now in my Google Reader! # Another [...]

Remember how we began the day w/ 36,000 less jobs? We end w/ over 71,000 job cuts announced just today. http://tr.im/cwjv – Hang on tight. # Rec’d a new Visa check card, w/ notice that my old one *may* have been compromised, in the mail. I hate that I have to memorize a new #. [...]

We’re less than an hour into the news day and already there are 36,000 less jobs than on Friday. Caterpillar, Sprint, Home Depot leading. # @alan_nickell Nice! Where ya going and whatcha gettin’? # I thought WFHing for a couple of hours ’til 10am would save me from the fog and resulting traffic. I was [...]

I’m flattered to be included in @LaniAR‘s list of Austin’s top social media innovators. You’ll find me under Marketing & PR with my coworker Aaron Strout representing social media at Powered, though I probably blather about technology, politics, and the economy more than anything else.  Regardless, I’m proud to help make Austin “the Live Social [...]

Going running w/ @RNSuprJade, though not nearly as far as @dskaresky and @mindyklement! Congrats to them on finishing the 3M half marathon. # Writing some javascript and looking forward to an impending meat coma this evening courtesy of Estancia Churrascaria. #

@davegoodine oops. Would you shut mine down if you’re still there. This is why you don’t send power shutdown notices a day early. # @lunalaguna oh noes! Maybe someone is still there and on Yammer and/or Twitter? Or, you can go to the Brazos Place bldg to the security desk # I can’t remember when [...]

Is not a fan of lost code commits due to imperfect merges. *sigh* # @reedunderwood Yeah, we’re evaluating Git for use in our environment but it unfortunately does not jive with our IDE/workflow just yet. # @lllevesque Thanks for mentioning churascaria again! I’d forgotten that Estancia was having that special. Maybe we’ll see you there! [...]
