So I finally take my IBS books’ advice and get a multi-vitamin, and it ends up containing fish (I’m allergic to fish). Explains my throat…
Trying out “just update” on my iPhone. Now I can bitch on twitter without all the flash and glitter of seeing other people bitch on twitter.
If UT is such a world-class university, as my alum girlfriend claims, they’d best not close this down: http://moourl.com/v4zzr
Beer:30 at work is usually a tiny bit of a cup. Today it was a whole bottle. Does that say much about my stress level?

BBEdit 9 tag autocomplete: It’s about damn time!
Note to self… don’t post from Ubiquity and have anything selected…
Testing out Ubiquity. Anyone know how to make The 21st century, globalization must be considered carefully. auto-complete a command?
I wish there were words to describe the conversation I just had, other than “BUH?!”
“In the unlikely event of anyone wanting my advice, it would be to stop worrying...”
– Please Buy My Record: The Futility Of Flogging Music - Music Think Tank (via catbird)
Nothing like having network issues in the middle of a usability test session.
Horrible, horrible idea: velveeta floats.
Best way to quit, ever.
Elwood Blues: I gotta quit.
Boss: Why's that?
Elwood: I'm going to become a priest.
Wishes he could find a discrete way of slapping a muzzle on co-workers prone to breaking out in song. Especially the same part of one song.

Worth a read.
CushyCMS – Free and simple CMS →
CushyCMS is a FREE hosted content management system that’s actually easy to use, fast to setup and doesn’t require programming skills.
Is a bit creeped out by @Hicksdesign’s twitter avatar. It’s hypnotic and increasingly terrifying the longer you look at it.
Thunder! Lightning! Very very frightening! But yeah, it’s thunder/lightning time in Seattle. C’mon, it’s supposed to still be summer here…
Apparently the transient Mt Zion Van City is getting kicked out of the Mt Zion Baptist church parking lot (by my work). Can I get an amen?
nothing like fixing your glasses to remind you how poor your vision is…
Never knew my drafting training would come in handy with a rental…
Lease on new place signed today. We’re giddy about it. Any Seattleites up for helping us move nxt weekend? I’ll beer you up!
“You wear logged in to Tumblr”
– The amazing spelling in the Tumble iPhone app
Feeling light-headed does not mix well with being in a meeting that requires you stand. Ugh… I feel shitty.
It’s very surreal: my oldest brother is taking courses on HTML/CSS/Web design. I can’t really explain why, but it is a strange new world 4me
Seriously, though, I love where I work. I’ve never cared this much about what I do, and never had work care this much about me…
Seriously… how is it that this weekend was stinkin’ hot and my car hadn’t been washed in months, yet I wash it and now it’s cold and rainy
EveryBlock Seattle: Seattle local news and public... →
“Enter any Seattle address for fresh updates of nearby crime, restaurant inspections, local news and more.” Awesome. I’ve been waiting for this to hit Seattle for a while.
Does anyone know of a good way to get out of an apartment lease? We’re moving to Wallingford, but we gotta get the hell out of this complex.

Nothing like pulling up your recent contacts’ photos at work, only to see nudity among them. Then I remember I’m not in Utah & stop worrying
Ooooo oooo! Me want! Me want!: http://tinyurl.com/62cwqo
I really wish Craigslist would look into some sort of dynamic coaching for people posting rental ads, such as “You can say more than that..”
Watching live user testing from another room is like watching a horror movie, starring your child. “No, don’t do it… don’t… awww, shit.”
Just saw a macbook power adapter in the men’s room stall. That explains why it seems like people camp out in there…
gbb checked in @ Lakeside Ave S, Seattle, WA... →
Dear rental posters on craigslist: we all know “Old World Charm” means you have an old apartment building. Stop it.
wow… this banana is extremely under-ripe. Having to battle through no flavour just to get that potassium…

Death Race remake: they ruined a “bad” movie by making it terrible. Quirky/weird 70s vs Paul WS Anderson’s impression of Michael Bay.
RIP Bernie. Taken in his prime. Shame.

Did you know: if you option-click the zoom-level selector in OmniGraffle 5, it becomes an editable field. Handy-ish.
