Building fathers day LEGO, listening to weird al on the stereo #nerddad

Cooked first meal (Palak Kheema) in our new Staub French Oven. Not as well known as Le Creuset I think, but a fantastic piece of cookware.

no new @mythbusters this week? (yeah i'm late, this is what timeshifting gets you) wgat gives?

@ethank so, what then? I've been thinking iMac.

re: http://t.co/YsFUpT3 @netflix should consider generalizing and productizing their recommendation engine. It's really great.

After post-@netflix, the fact that @redbox just sent me an email recommending a movie I just returned yesterday is unacceptable.

How on God's green earth did Google get away with creating a Mac photo app from which you cannot drag photos #picasa

Worst part of playing Words With Friends is knowing the other person is laughing at me #suckingatgames

Battle:Los Angeles: Good flick. No resorting to "my mac can interface with their alien tech" BS.

Guerilla debugging. log->debug('screw you software')

aaaand, twoosh.

dear @netflix: if your recommendation engine is good (and it certainly is) you can presume I've seen the top 5 shows of the 10 you offer me.

@monkchips @mattgemmell ha! wife is already a MBP and ipad user, but need/want a desktop machine for photos, videos, and other shared media.

@monkchips @mattgemmell James, how you mistrust me! It's for the wife, not me.

Hearing about the new iMacs cough @mattgemmell cough has me wishing I could pick one up. Need to consolidate all the family media.

Back from a "quick" lunch jaunt to IKEA, one sofa and 5 chairs richer, and $$$$ poorer.

@quuxly good guess. why does it do that?

ok, so now the AppStore's "storeagent" process is in a crash-and-launch loop. great.

Yeah, so I completely forgot about DigitalColor Meter, free on every Mac.

(Apologies to @codelinesoft, who just started following me, for being a cheap bastard :-) )
