  1. I.T. architecture following a major corporate merger is like playing Missile Command, where the cities are replaced with tech standards.

  2. After years of being a vi user, I've decided to learn emacs. This is the sort of mid-life crisis I can live with.

  5. "We're gonna frickin' lose this thing," says Adam McKay. Liberal media? Bullshit. Try crippled media: http://ping.fm/om2mD #

  6. As of this weekend, @bbjwerner is no longer my co-worker. As he rode off, we heard him mumbling something about clouds and Exchange.

  8. This week, there were no easy solutions. Only chaos, misinformation, and befuddling systems. And I'm taking a lot of work home with me.

  9. Last night's fun: sending pickled python objects through Amazon SQS. No problems with boto so far.

  10. Brunch at The Saint on CapHill. Sweet Pea from Project Runway is here, making us wonder, "Don't we know that woman?" Well, yes 'n no.

  11. My son discovered the calculator. "There is no button for 15," he said. I like the idea of a calculator with a button for every number.

  12. Inbox at 836, down from 2200-ish. It's those last 800 that are going to kill me. Don't know if I'll achieve 'inbox zero'.

  13. @bbjwerner just gave me a bonzai ficus plant for my cube!

  14. Alright. So maybe I don't _love_ the # client, but I don't use federation yet. Dig?

  16. Not that it's a contest (thank goodness), but I'm pretty sure I've done more UML diagramming than ya'll today. If not, I want to meet you.

  17. Ubiquity's big risk is 50 different ways to do the same thing. Command lines need some approximation of standards. Is MOZ providing?

  20. Scott Maxwell is a phenomenal speaker. Technical but poetic. Space has a new spokesman. #
