Staying in this New Years. Not really sure why, it’s just what I want to do. See you in ‘09 everyone!

Had a delicious burger and tots at Lunchbox Laboratory with @dotsara and Jodie.

Designing for little personal project I’ve been wanting to do for a while now… I’ve got high hopes for 2009.

Posted a little how-to article on creating a polaroid wall (http://tinyurl.com/8sownd).

Dropped my sister off at the airport. Now to do a little work to finish up ‘08.

@meeshku Get the 50mm 1.4.

My sister is baking some fancy mac n’ cheese for dinner. Score!

@kellikimpton I loved it too! Just seemed strange to see it in the humor section even if it was funny.

Surprised to find “The Tao of Pooh” in the humor section. Maybe I took it too seriously when I read it.

Walking around Barnes & Noble while my sister hunts for some books to help wrangle her class.

@kennymeyers Picked up some Trader Joe’s Irish Breakfast. Crisis adverted.

Out of English Breakfast this morning. Hmpf.

@Brilliantcrank, @ryanirelan Can I “third” the motion?

Picked up a new wireless keyboard. Now at Victoria’s Secret waiting while she tries stuff on. I keep telling myself this isn’t awkward…

Back home, mostly unpacked and taking care of some random errands.

Okay, so the 24” LED Cinema Display, yeah, that was a good call.

Nothing bridges a 55 year gap with your grandmother like some dirty dishes.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

And we made it! Wet roads but not much else.

Made the call to go for it anyway. Wish us luck!

@iamthatk8 I didn’t realize she had the power to do that!

Freezing rain predicted in Portland. Looks like my sister and I will be spending Christmas in Seattle. At least we’ve got each other.

Really didn’t need the extra 2” of snow for my drive down to Oregon today.

Molly Moon’s is thinking about maple bacon for ‘09. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Yes, that in a waffle cone for breakfast.

Booze secured. I repeat, booze secured.

Just found out my grandparent’s house is without cable and an internet connection. Heading out to the liquor store. Are these related?

@katidid My sister is flying in tomorrow so I’ve got to wait!

Doing laundry, cleaning, cooking and hoping there won’t be anymore snow before I drive down to Oregon tomorrow.

@Brilliantcrank Congratulations! Looks badass well, “insofar as web nerds can be…”

Working on a few side projects, which, will hopefully get completed over the break…

Making cornbread.

Spent 30 min. digging my car out of the snow this morning. Seattle, this wasn’t part of the deal when I moved here.

Great article about Kuzumaki, the town I lived in in Japan! (http://bit.ly/17tOZ) Beaming with “eco-pride” but all those cows, yeah, smelly.

Watching football and cheering for my fantasy football team in the “Superbowl”.

So quiet, so cold. Enjoying the snow outside my window this morning.

@weskimcom He he he. Seriously. @jcroft Suck it.

Snow, snow, snow.

I am @blueflavor setting up for the party.

@sourjayne Just do it. You know you want to.

Marked all as read.

Big swirling flakes out my window… (http://www.flickr.com/photos/twatson/3118824650/)

@martinenatasha Ew. Yeah, I haven’t heard a sound in about 20 minutes.

I love waking up to the silence snow brings to Seattle.

Stoked about my new cutting board from @smadden and Matt. (http://flickr.com/photos/twatson/3117270422/) Thanks fellas!

@jb Ha! Well thanks man.

At lunch with the @blueflavor crew.

Thanks for the feedback. Consensus is for significant others it’s dicey at best, for everyone else, it’s acceptable to good.

Gift card debate at lunch. Lame or a great gift?

Sure my fingers are still a bit numb and I’ve been in the office for 20 min., but I’ll take cold and sunny over grey and rainy any day.

@tomcarmony Ended up with the fish and chips, but they were delicious!

At Atlas with @jcroft and @dotsara for a pre-Christmas shopping dinner.

The sun’s out and I won my fantasy football playoff game. Great way to start a Monday.

Good lunch and great conversation with @jcroft. Now for my indoor soccer double header.

I don’t drive all that much, but for those of you in the Seattle area that do, check out @wsdot.

@u10int Well thanks, but I might have just got some frozen fingers and a runny nose.

Scarf, jacket, hat, keys, two cameras and snow!

Okay, it’s official, I’m now being stalked by the cast of Seinfeld.

@elaine_benes out with @jcroft, but I know he’s game.

delicious brunch with @mikeindustries, @jcroft and @dkr. Now im picking up a few things to restock my bare shelves at the grocery store.

Apparently my body needed 12 hours sleep. Feeling great now though!

Baking some banana bread and doing some other more manly things… yeah.

@jcroft Damn you!

@jcroft She’s all yours buddy.

@jcroft Ha! Apparently I already missed my chance! (http://tinyurl.com/5l6jtv)

And now Elaine (http://tinyurl.com/659zzn) and Kramer! (http://tinyurl.com/6jedl6)

@geekgiant Agreed! On both accounts!

Thinks it’s awesome that @jerry_seinfeld just called me out on my height (http://tinyurl.com/668n7t)

Concerned for Flickr’s fate now that George Oates is gone… (http://tinyurl.com/5reqjk)

Apparently insomnia equals pancakes. At least they were delicious.

@kennymeyers I’ve always wanted a better way to store my screengabs. It let’s you tag and group and it’s easy to upload them. Beautiful too!

@jessevlasveld Eh, I’d say more like iTunes for screengrabs and “websnaps”.

Glad to see @littlesnapper has launched! I just got on the beta and have been loving it. http://www.realmacsoftware.com/littlesnapper/

@fivekoi A bit of all of that really. Well, and I do drink tea.

@fivekoi Ha ha ha, yes.

Yes, I live in Seattle, no I don’t drink coffee. You’d think this would be easier for people to get their minds around.

@elycerose Nice! Glad I could help out.

A bolt just popped off my chair. Apparently it’s time to cut back on the holiday goodies.

Loves a quiet office in the morning.

It’s been a little over 4 years since I’ve lived in Japan, yet I still can’t stop slurping. Tea, soup, anything hot.

@ktamura Tweetie.

@notasausage Nice! Love the addition to the An Instant Holiday group! (http://tinyurl.com/5as9n4)

Love my u-cut Christmas tree, but don’t love the new dried mud all over my car.

4 hour meeting handled in 1:40 min. Hulk smash!

Up early with a splitting headache. Nothing a 4 hour meeting can’t cure. Oh wait…

Watching football and baking cookies.

@kennymeyers eh. I’ve gotten used to it.

After a day and a half of TwitterFon crashing I broke down and bought Tweetie. Love it so far though!

“The harder I work, the luckier I get.” -Samuel Goldwyn

up and at ‘em.

kicking the tires on Omnigraffle 5 for the first time. It’s going to take some getting used to, but I have hopes that it’s less buggy.

@dkr Well thank you sir!

@garrettdimon Congratulations!

Staring at the flight tracker widget and wishing that little plane would move faster.

just finished a good dinner and great conversation with @magnetbox and @katidid.

@iamthatk8 Arrrgh! Ha! Thanks!

@echuckles Or when someone who just finished lunch is about ready to touch your computer screen.

“Caught up” on the internet. Watched “Evolution of Dance” and read about Emily Gould of Gawker fame. Accpeted that I’m late to the party.

thinks @dkr forgot to mention “innovating through the downturn” in his post. :) (http://tinyurl.com/5t2drr)

@rainaterror Yep. An oldie but a goodie.

My patience is being tested. I keep telling myself this is a good thing.

There’s now An Instant Holiday pool on Flickr! Join. Post. Be merry. (http://www.flickr.com/groups/911948@N25/)

Majority of my Christmas shopping is done, and even though I did it online can we all agree that “Cyber Monday” is a terrible term.

Doing a little Christmas shopping from my couch.

Every time I hear the sponsored by Zune on KEXP I chuckle a little.

Tossing on the headphones to finish up the day… what to listen to…

Getting into the instant holiday spirit with a Polaroid-a-day until Christmas (http://www.flickr.com/photos/twatson/sets/72157610605989018/)
