Downside of using a Magic Trackpad, trying to navigate my computer when my hand is siting on the desk instead of on the trackpad.

Replacing shock cord in tent poles in preparation for family camping next weekend.

@SeanMcTex Where's the Windows 7 Browsers-Only Edition?

so, I have VMWare Fusion, and a Mac. Where do I get Windows? Surely I'm not the only person with this problem.

@apparentlymart that's neat.

I really need an informal consult/chat with a UX / design person - someone to "ask the squishy human questions" /ht @kastner

@SeanMcTex Yeah, me too.

@Forsst has a similar issue that I'm having with http://t.co/lSR858PV: you can't see the public home page when logged in. Good UX / bad UX?

If there's a God (and there is) there will one day be a Larry Ellison biopic starring TIm Curry http://t.co/hZJCsh6A

So, VMWare Fusion doesn't come with any OS. Where does one get Windows images these days?

@bitbucket Cool, thanks.

Help me figure out how to improve the Wallrazer logo: http://t.co/8N0NXM0U

@lmorchard bass guitar is awesome.

Oh: my brother (@seanivy) is already using his fledgling python knowledge to teach his kids math. That, friends, is how a nerd dad does it.

I'm now teaching my brother (who once upon a time mocked me for not knowing wordperfect macros) how to program #python

@davewiner FLW also required the inside of his works be as beautiful as the outside, and pushed existing materials far beyond expectations.

Shazam should be a SIRI plugin.

@davewiner As the son of an architect who taught me all about FLW, your comparison is spot on. Thank you #rememberingstevejobs
