Monday report, 6:20 AM
Woke up at 5:45 to what sounded like a party in the aviary. Most flu-like symptoms have subsided, though the swolen sensation of labored swallowing persists. A benefit of waking up promptly is that my coffee, which I’ve of course programmed in advance to brew just before 5:30, is still unburnt. Today, the coffee is glorious. But like I said, it’s a little difficult to swallow. The 30...
Pittsburgh-ish Tweetup May 16th
People of the tri-state area, and anyone able to make it here:
Come to Pittsburgh for a gathering of the minds, wits, and mobile microblogging devices. On May 16th, in the evening, at an as yet undlisclosed location, we’re gonna throw down.

Well, here’s what happened. Hopefully my explanation will inform some solid recommendations for a replacement Mac OS image management tool. Since it was released, I’ve used iPhoto to store my...
I have something to ask you.
Because I was mostly offline over the weekend, I missed all the initial solicitiatons for questions. I’m interested to ask quite a number of questions though. Would you be willing to help an old friend out and point him to your question collection post?
Well, where is it?
The end of the answers
I was whining to myself that nobody offered me any serious queries. Sad that - as in high school - I must just be the class clown. Har, har. Ask Geoff to draw the square root of his nose on the chalk board again. Take his fanny pack. Break his glasses. Fine.
But then I realized, it’s not the seriousness of the questions. It’s the seriousness of the answers that matters. Just read the...
