  1. sometimes I accidentally hit buttons on my Identica/Twitter client when I don't actually have anything to say. Oops.

  2. I just finished learning to play "Eddie Walker" by the Ben Folds Five on piano. That took way too long.

  3. A reductio ad absurdum of people who dwell on worst-case scenarios instead of doing something with their lives: http://ur1.ca/kljc

  4. I really do think the new thesixtyone.com design sacrificed a lot of features and usability. Beautiful but hard to navigate. Frustrating.

  5. Yet another pic of me shows up in a random place, this time in a wikiHow article about buying an office wardrobe: http://ur1.ca/jrs9

  6. I can't tell if my YouTube video uploaded successfully and it is still processing, or if it failed and I need to upload again. Terrible UI.

  7. OK, you can have two Google Voice numbers forward to the same phone so long as that phone is not labeled "mobile" on either GV account. Dumb

  10. I have a friend who still uses AIM chat rooms and invites all his friends. It is a charming anachronism, like Myst on the iPhone.

  11. whoops, I almost mixed metaphors / cliches by writing "he kept his shoulder to the grindstone." Is a nose really that much better, though?

  12. Writing a good letter of recommendation is shockingly hard, even for someone whom you've known for many years. Any tips?

  13. T-mobile phone bill is surprisingly large. Why? Bank of America keeps charging me $9 for "monthly maintenance fees". Why? I hate money.

  15. @spang b/c then life would be boring! And you'd end up with one network that everyone hates but nobody can afford to leave *cough Facebook*

  16. At the Lickety Split, waiting to play our first gig! The first dude is doing a very artistic jazzy cover of "Toxic" by Britney Spears

  17. @mlinksva Thanks for the ideas! Librivox is already being used, Wikipedia I think is not. Uncompressed audio is most desirable

  18. An open source project which interests me (Voxforge) needs many hours of transcribed speech + audio to train a dictation engine. Any ideas?

  19. I just read an Economist article that used the word "cackhanded" - It means clumsy or left-handed, but I just think "Edward Penishands"

  20. Just nuked my phone from orbit: it was the only way to be sure! Resetting my G1 to the factory defaults got rid of my weird software issues.
