Dishwasher pro tip

Dishwasher pro tip:
When possible, group items you put in the dishwasher together if you plan to put them away together.
This is most important with silverware. It takes very little effort to group spoons with spoons, forks with forks and knives with knives on their way into the machine. Then, when you go to put them [...]

Niger Delta Oil

We gotta get this shit under control. What the fuck, man.

Saving State

I’m a digital pack-rat. I save *everything*. It’s getting hard to track it all though.
In the old days, I just archived off my email every once in a while. I used ‘talk’ a ton back in the late 90’s, and there wasn’t really any way to save those, though I’d just kill to have those [...]

San Francisco is full of nerds (with degrees)

Wow, that’s crazy. Actually NYC’s number is even more amazing, though they probably got there more by virtue of high density than a particularly high number of degrees. Seattle is very non-dense.

Pee Four!!!!!

p4tar, p4untar, p4shelve… where have you been all my life?

Salt

The bigger the chunk of salt, the better it tastes.

C905 update

Super great little camera. Circa 2005 operation speed, but the interface mostly makes up for it (mostly just shot-to-shot and focus slowness). Really pretty brilliant for something that is always ALWAYS there for me to use.

Wish the video was better. Framerate nice and high, but resolution low and compression blows.

Meeting fouls

Do not invite me to a meeting to ‘plan out the rest of the project schedule’ for un-schedulable things. Especially don’t do this the first day I’m back from 3 weeks off.
Do not ask me if you can ’swing by later to ask a few questions’ about something, then invite a bunch of other [...]
