Still bitter about Pluto.

The Caltrain is almost too quiet this morning.

Donated to This American Life. Finally.

Just finished a great dinner and an even better conversation with @weightshift.

It’s expensive to have bad eyes.

Wow. Adobe Lightroom 3 has got game.

@Trenti I’m talking about the 90’s Bills. Superbowl bridesmaids.

@adam_little Thanks! Glad you’re liking it.

@gblakeman Yup. Ben Barry (http://designforfun.com)

@gblakeman Yep. Totally blown away by that one.

@jw Dammit! I’m in Palo Alto.

Sure, I’m a bit biased, but damn this desktop from Grant Hutchinson on Simple Desktops is just so good http://bit.ly/7GKUa7 Newton!

Checking out this finance thing. — at Mint.com http://gowal.la/s/7ti

@weightshift Just gorgeous sir, just gorgeous.

Another beautiful showcase up at Pictory that’s all about my new city, San Francisco http://www.pictorymag.com/showcases/san-francisco/

Dammit. Friday Night Lights is just fantastic this season.

@ktamura Matt’s not there? Dude, I’m totally jealous right now you’re going.

@weightshift Congratulations. It’s no surprise Central looks gorgeous.

@brownthings Congratulations on the beautiful launch!

@jb Seriously though, great stuff. Love the icon in my dock. I’m sure I’ll remove it at some point, but it’s just so damn pretty.

@jb Well done sir! But no Facebook integration? ;)

Great night out at Toronado with Mr. Santa Maria, Mr. Miner, Mr. Sims and new friends.

Anyone watching the Monday Night Football game somewhere in San Francisco tonight?

Dinner with friends. — at La Taqueria http://gowal.la/s/sP1

“Part Time Lover” on the shuttle. Oh yeah… OH YEAH!

Observing some user testing today. It’s so much nicer not having to hold back the “JUST CLICK HERE” since I’m not doing the administering.

@brownthings Digging it! (also enjoying “Chunk”!)

Was great to see everyone at the AEA party on Monday night! I’m just now feeling human again. Fly safe, Happy Holidays, etc.

@simplebits I had the same issue and ended up with this one http://www.amazon.com/3M-Optical-Mousing-Surface-MP200PS/dp/B0017D5Z40 Dig it.

@mrwarren Yep. Love it!

Enjoying http://whichdigi.com/ although I hope Matt adds a few more cameras and a bit more explanation. I’d love to just point friends here.

@dkr Me too!

Sushi for (second) breakfast.

Totally love how clever these “Mini Figure” Simple Desktops are http://bit.ly/6Ey3DM http://bit.ly/5PRvP3 They had me at Lego.

iTunes kindly reminded me I’ve already rented “Love Actually”. Screw it, it’s a Christmas tradition. I still can’t bring myself to buy it.

Processing payments for Level & Tap (http://levelandtap.com). I love being able to send money to all these talented photographers.

Sorry San Francisco, okay, I’m not that sorry. Well done Seahawks.

Off to do some flea marketing. To be clear, shopping not working on new marketing strategies for fleas.

And I locked myself out of my apartment. So it’s going to be one of those days…

Wow, fixing my internet was exactly how I wanted to spend the last 2 hours.

@theercs clearly!

Beer o’clock.

Ugh. Congrats Ducks.

@mrwarren Congratulations sir!

As a Willamette grad I get the luxury of cheering for both Oregon schools, but for the Civil War I’ve got to go with the Beavers. C’mon OSU!

So stoked to see http://pictorymag.com live! Humbled to have a photo in the first feature http://bit.ly/8ZoLhG Well done @jcroft and @lbm!

The best part about this is that instead of just talking he went and built something http://mrgan.tumblr.com/post/257187093/pie-guy

@jbrewer Thanks for submitting it!

Packages sent back, angry UPS workers, credit card bill blunders, long hold times… oh the holidays are here!

@louderthan10 Ha! Thanks for coming to visit!

Seriously, who made the call to put carpet on BART? I’m dying to know what made them think it’d be a good idea.

@adamd Woah. David and I played basketball together back in middle school.

@splorp Indeed. Looking forward to seeing the new ones!

@adamd My old coach!

Glad I finished the Polabet set (http://bit.ly/64mhd9), but sad I’m down to just 9 shots left in my camera… sniff.

@lbm Fancy! Wilson wins.

@splorp Thanks for the birthday wishes (and the desktops! Keep ‘em coming!)

Finished up the Polabet http://www.flickr.com/photos/twatson/sets/72157622664893813/

Birthday dinner for Mr. Sims — at Tokyo Go-Go http://gowal.la/s/99o

@simmy Is a threesome inappropriate in this situation?

@brownthings That’s awesome, but from my experience those can either be the best clients, or the worst. I hope it’s the former.

@mosseri It was delicious. Well, at least @simmy and @bronwynjones approved. It’s a skillet pot pie which was a bit easier.

Attempting to make a chicken pot pie.

Sunshine, Polaroids and some football. A fine way to spend a Sunday.

Finally cleaned out THAT closet. You know the one.

@ktamura @kennymeyers Nice work fellas! It looks sweet.

@iamthatk8 Yeah, I have high hopes!

Scanning. Also a bit sad knowing I’ve only got 19 shots left with my Polaroid.

@danrubin Got ‘em. Thanks!

@jina Oh c’mon. Just give me one.

@danrubin I saw you were going to send me some more desktops. Did you? I never got them.

Just kicking it with Mr. Draper tonight.

@MattWilcox You’re definitely not the first. *grin*

@asmodeus 2560 x 1600 is the size needed for the 30” Apple Cinema Display. What size were you thinking?

@morganholzer Ha! Thank you on both accounts.

@couch there is actually one, but I think there might be a server issue with it right now.

@jw Seriously. The headache was brutal.

No matter how sleepy you may be, do not, I repeat, do not accidently spray the daily shower cleaner before taking a shower. Trust me.

@jina Ooo… digging the revamp. Nice work!

@meeshku Aww! Miss you Meesh!

@greghoyboy That’s fantastic news. Congratulations!

@mattmay Umm… yeah… we’re looking into it http://twitter.com/joehewitt/status/3671190125

Please, someone, anyone make a plug-in for Photoshop that renders type like a web browser. Webkit preferred, but I don’t really care.

@daveman692 Good to meet you on the train! Good luck sir!

Monday morning quarterbacking my draft selections from last night. Overall, I’m still feeling pretty good though.

@cookiecrook Dude. Congratulations!

Opted for ibuprofen and the Giants game today instead of resting my back. Now paying for it with a nice sunburn. Figures.

Looks like today is a day for the couch. Stupid back.

Back from a great dinner at Piccinos. Now to finally scan a few photos.

Heading out for some wine tasting to celebrate some Facebook mobile milestones.

For those of you who haven’t noticed yet, be sure and try holding down the icons on the home screen of the new Facebook app for iPhone.

Facebook for iPhone 3.0: approved and available. http://bit.ly/TQ2nm

@mrwarren Happy birthday!

@kennymeyers I’m currently testing out the Setu chair right now. It’s good, but it’s less battleship and more cruiser style.

For those of you curious about Facebook Design we’ll be streaming live tonight at 7:00 p.m. PDT http://bit.ly/19gbcj

Do we really need 7, 9 and 12 grain bread? What’s the difference?

I’m such a square.

#winMBP @taptaptap is giving away a $5999 ColorWare STEALTH MacBook Pro to celebrate launching Convert for iPhone! http://taptaptap.com/+K6A

Ugh. Had to bail on the back exercises tonight. Opting for ibuprofen and some heat instead.

@strebel Are you looking for speakers? :D

I remember talking to Jason about Typedia (http://typedia.com) the day we first met. So glad it’s finally live! Congratulations everyone!

Off to wine country.

Enjoyed shooting the San Francisco Street Food Festival, but opted to skip the massive lines despite how good everything looked and smelled.

Thanks everyone. He’d been sick for a long time.

R.I.P. Alfred September 2008 - August 2009 http://bit.ly/EpTJe

@327creative Ooo… that’s a great resource. Thanks!

In regards to my last update, I’m looking specifically for how they’re laying out the photos, not necessarily the photos themselves.

Has anyone been impressed by any photo gallery / archive pages online lately? I’m looking for some new inspiration.

http://www.typarchive.com/ Main : TypArchive

@shoghon Oh yeah, I’m getting some serious bling.

Getting my new teeth in a few hours!

Designing things smaller and with less. There’s something so enjoyable about restrictions and limitations.

I fought the snooze and the snooze won.

@iamthatk8 Sent!

@iamthatk8 Unfortunately it was. He’s okay though.

Finally got a photo in the Seattlest http://bit.ly/JF0HA now that I live in San Francisco.

Just found out a close friend of mine was in a scooter accident. Everything is fine, but things like that always help give me perspective.

@webology Solid idea. I’ve been doing some exercises, but I just wanted to get the back checked out.

@clint Yeah, I have been, but it’s been coming back fairly regularly these days. I’m 6‘9” so I think my height doesn’t help.

Alright, this whole bad back thing is getting old. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good doctor in San Francisco or Palo Alto?

@theercs Indeed.

Reversing the polarity…

Anyone located in the SoCal area specializing in architectural photography? If so, let me know!

If you’re curious about mobile and Facebook, you know, vote for my panel and stuff http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/4196

@wilsonminer Congratulations sir!

4 am, packed flight, BART strike, fire alarm testing, burnt tongue, full parking lot. Monday HAS to get better right?

SEA -> SFO

Enjoying the sun at Leschi on a beautiful Seattle afternoon and trying not to think about my 6 a.m. flight and work tomorrow.

Stuck in traffic trying to make it to @ticjones and @brownthings wedding in time.

At my high school reunion, and yes, I work at Facebook.

@jimray Do not, I repeat do not move to California then. The DMV is a horrible here.

SFO -> PDX

Dammit. BART is suppose to strike Sunday night. I was planning on taking it to get to work Monday morning. Time to look for a plan B.

Ah… the sweet sound of pressure washing in the morning.

You think you know someone, and then you spend 3 hours talking fantasy football draft strategy.

My girlfriend knew about an iPhone app update before me. I’m slipping.

Prepping for the upcoming fantasy football season on the train.

@mrwarren Woah! Congratulations, that’s huge news!

Meeting Monday nearing completion. At least I get them almost all done in one swoop.

Dodged hipsters in the Mission on Friday, Asians in Chinatown yesterday and now old white rich people in Sausalito.

Enjoying a beer on a sunny San Francisco afternoon with my aunt and sister. San Francisco you do know how to spoil the tourists.

@ktamura Congratulations!

Just got a beautiful new camera strap from http://www.highkeycamera.com/.

Ugh. Back to the dentist for more impressions of my busted teeth.

Started an aperture war with @brownthings http://bit.ly/uTUot

Opted for a quiet day working from home. Well, that was the plan until the nailing, hammering and drilling started 30 minutes ago.

Damn, definitely liking the new Flickr search results. Apparently I just wasn’t in the test group: http://bit.ly/13ktnf

has given up on Spaces. Adobe you win.

Need. More. Caffeine.

Great night out for @dunstan’s birthday, and fantastic conversation as usual with @simmy, @wilsonminer and @lbm.

A very beautifully redesigned http://thingsthatarebrown.com from @brownthings and @ticjones

Can’t help but chuckle whenever I see the stenciled “Focus” above the urinal in the Facebook bathroom.

Congratulations Happy Cog and Airbag on the merger! http://www.happycog.com/news/2009/08/merger/

@rocknrye yeah, I’m tossing the lens cap. Not that concerned with protecting the Holga “glass”.

Just took three shots with my Holga, with my lens cap on. Dammit!

My 24” Monitor sitting on top of my Mac Mini makes the perfect iMac for me. I should have thought of this months ago.

@garrettmurray Totally. I just have the larger keyboard at work and it’s been driving me crazy when I’m on my laptop.

Finds it annoying that when I switch between various Apple keyboards the fn and control keys move around.

@ktamura Ooo… that is one way to get me a bit jealous.

Home and not feeling so hot. This had better not be the damn swine flu.

Anyone else getting a full screen view on Flickr when you just do a general search? I’m not but a co-worker is and it looks damn nice.

@weskimcom *grin*

Didn’t have to take the written driving test! Apparently moving back to California has at least one advantage.

“Turkeys are vegetables with legs.” -@markbixby

Cramming for the California traffic laws and sign test.

Wondering why I decided it was a good idea to squeeze harder on the plugged BBQ sauce bottle. Wish I had packed an extra shirt today.

Breakfast at Just for You, lunch at Blue Barn, shooting at Crissy Field & Palace of Fine Arts, Harry Potter, Piccionos pizza. Now Tecate

Just saw the guy who will be cast as @garrettmurray’s older brother in his upcoming bromantic comedy.

Photo takin’ and delicious food eatin’ with @dotsara in sunny San Francisco!

@missha Damn. Alright, I guess I just need to find someone at Google.

@gravesit Damn.

@WanderingMatt Shoot. Well thanks for looking.

C’mon someone has a Google Voice invite for me!

@clinejj Yes, if you still have one, I’d love it!

After 3.5 hours at the dentist I know have teeth! Well, at least some temporary ones. Now for a milkshake!

Just when you think you’re feeling better the pain medication wears off.

Root canal went well, but I got a ticket for not turning my wheels. San Francisco you would.

Trying to find the bright side of getting a root canal today. Struggling.

Teeth are okay for now, but I have to go see an Endodontist tomorrow. Hopefully I don’t have to lose a tooth!

Dove for the save and chipped three teeth. This emergency trip to the dentist should be fun.

Just tried to register my high score for FlightControl and was told “twatson” was a “bad word”.

@theercs Absolutely!

@elycerose Sniff.

@elycerose I don’t know. Is there anything when you’re logged in that says “Invite a friend”?

Can anyone at Google hook me up with a Google Voice account?

http://bit.ly/e1OPf I couldn’t have said it better myself @gruber.

@fogfish Shoot. I just got this. Any specific questions? It was a pretty design research focused talk.

At AIGA listening to Method talk about design research.

@ergoheat It just raised my monitor up a few inches.

@ktamura It so is.

Just had an ergonomics evaluation. Apparently all I needed was a bigger chair and little copy paper to raise my monitor.

Just finished an awesome meal at the Facebook Design offsite at Fogarty Winery.

@kennymeyers Congratulations good sir. Excited to have you down in San Francisco! The city could definitely use more sarcasm.

@morganholzer heh. Indeed.

Bad day, bad game and now I’m just frustrated I lowered myself to another persons level. I’m better than that dammit.

Love how they use their hands to simulate the storm, but they had me at Toto cover: http://bit.ly/3Tv4Qv

I’m guessing tonight is one of the two or three warm summer nights that so rarely grace San Francisco.

Wrong Caltrain, 3 dollars in quarters at Safeway and bickering Muni passengers. Yes, today would be a commuting whiff.

Been meaning to mention this for a while, but I really like Flickr’s new flat buttons. Well done @dunstan and crew.

Processing a large order for Level & Tap and promoting the latest photographer to be added to the site, Mike Flores. http://bit.ly/fU8J8

Fun trip down to Santa Cruz for a little bike shopping with @mosseri. Now just chilling, getting ready for the week.

As if getting up to play soccer at 8:40 a.m. on a Sunday wasn’t bad enough, we had to go and lose.

Great brunch with @simmy and @bronwynjones. Now to get ready for the Giants game with @smadden. The awesome weekend continues…

Stretching a bit before I go meet @smadden and @simmy for a little Saturday morning hoop.

Finally scanning a few polaroids from my trip up to Seattle.

@adamd I was thinking the exact same thing.

I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating, new socks rule.

Apparently Photoworks is the place. http://www.photoworkssf.com/

@elycerose Awesome! Thanks.

Anyone know of a good place to get slide film processed in San Francisco?

The question is a truth. The stillness is the move. http://bit.ly/losnX (thank you @simmy)

@garrettmurray Sweet! Thanks.

@simmy Sir, please make permalinks for your posts. I want to be able to link to them for posterity. Thank you, The management

@smadden Happy birthday!

Loosing by a buzzer beater in overtime never feels good, even if the game is just for fun and recreation. Damn Finance.

Absolutely love Osaka Loop Line, on LP from Discovery http://bit.ly/u8JOe

Just bought new basketball gear for the first time in at least three years.

SEA -> SFO

Feels there are far too many people at Seatac before 6 a.m.

@danielmall we opted for the vegetarian combo platter. I think the “yellow stuff” was my favorite.

Damn! Ethiopian food is delicious.

Hmpf. My backup SX-70 is acting up now. Maybe only having 4 packs of film left is sign.

Enjoying the Seattle sunshine with a picnic in the arboretum.

On a boat, girlfriend in my arms, waiting for the fireworks to start. Life. Is. Good.

3 cameras (yeah, I bought a Holga) and 7 rolls of film. This had better be one well documented 4th of July.

Somehow managed to not buy a new iPhone 3GS at the Apple store.

SFO -> SEA

In route to SFO.

@afuller I haven’t. What does that do?

@fivekoi I haven’t. I’ve just been using the make the tap water safe stuff from the pet store and have been filtering the water.

Alfred is staring up at me from his bowl looking so sick. I’ve tried all the Betta medicine I can find but he’s still not getting better.

DxD (Death by Design, Facebook’s new design basketball team) had our first win of the season.

@martinjy Hopefully that one works for ya!

@katidid Happy birthday!

There’s a lot of things I’m excited about that are new in Firefox 3.5, but this has to be my favorite: http://bit.ly/E8kEn On by default!

Feeling the need to bring some tenacity to the day today.

@SharaK Yeah, I love the heat, but 107 might be just a little too hot for me.

I love this part of summer when it feels like it’s all still ahead of you. Right after the 4th, I inevitably start thinking about it ending.

I just bought 10 rolls of expired Fuji Velvia 100. Can’t wait to shoot a bunch this weekend up in Seattle!

Just finished a delicious dinner at Flour + Water.

Where can I get film in San Francisco on Sunday that’s not Walgreen’s?

Got the place 90% cleaned up, still need to sweep but the back needs a break. Thanks again to everyone who came!

Thanks everyone for a great housewarming party. Now if I could just get my back to stop hurting…

Apartment mostly clean, now to go buy a few snacks for the party.

Rebuilding my Polaroid wall http://bit.ly/StVeY for my housewarming party tonight.

If you’re curious about what’s happening with design at Facebook, check out our new page: http://www.facebook.com/design

Somehow this got lost in my email and move, but one of my photos was featured on the Indiemag cover: http://bit.ly/19Ojg0

Listening to Billy Jean and Man in the Mirror and remembering Michael the only way I see fit.

@ticjones Done. Oh wait, it’s only noon. Umm… will do!

@ticjones Good luck tonight! Wish I could be there!

Missed the train. Dammit.

I just ordered a whole box of checks and just voided the only one hope to ever use to setup my direct deposit.

USA wins! USA wins! USA wins!

USA is up 2-0 against Spain!

Love the new/old 76ers logo http://bit.ly/4Ddfyw I wish more teams would move in this direction.

“Kachunk-bwee” just echoed through the halls of Facebook. Ah… the sweet sound of Polaroid.

I will not be cutting jalapeños and then taking out my contacts again. Oh and, today looks like a great day to wear my glasses!

If anyone is interested in getting some Polaroid 779 film (Basically Polaroid 600) for a good price. Send me your email!

Love the early morning office silence.

Preparing for 5 a.m. airport drop off tomorrow morning. This sucks on many levels.

Good times at @jina’s Mojito Party last night. Now to go play some sports in this beautiful sunshine today.

Heath Ceramics and Le Garage made for an awesome morning and early afternoon in Sausalito.

Was very impressed with the speed of CameraBag on the new iPhone 3GS I just played with.

@kennymeyers No, not the app, just the gorilla.

Still rocking my first generation iPhone. Silverbacks unite.

After two types of medicine and filtered water, Alfred still isn’t getting any better. Sniff.

Damn. The Counter was delicious.

@mahalie I can almost see your grin from Palo Alto.

Finally going to The Counter tonight. Few things in life are better than a burger and a beer.

Back from a good kick around with @dunstan. Now for a little dinner and some designing.

Whoever just signed me up for KFC’s Colonel’s Email Club, you win.

Updating iPhone software…

Massive props to @shauninman for launching http://feedafever.com/

Off to Ikea to check out a rug for the new place.

Stunning work: http://bit.ly/KIkXG Damn you Naz and your gorgeous designs.

I feel like I’m still in a food coma from Hard Knox last night. Man, they serve some delicious soul food.

Facebook is hiring designers. http://bit.ly/RhwXB Let me know if you might be interested!

Feels like every designer he meets is trying to work in a slightly different medium.

Great soccer game and my first time as keeper in years. Now off to The Ramp. Anyone up for a few drinks in the sun?

@jcroft Happy birthday sir!

I’ve done the unthinkable. @markbixby (or /bixby) is in the city.

Alfred http://bit.ly/t5aqA isn’t adjusting quite as well to the move as I have. Off to the pet store to get some more betta medicine.

“Beefy score.” Seriously McDonalds?

@brownthings Happy birthday!

@dkr Happy birthday!

Dammit. I still hate the Lakers.

Created a Facebook page for Level & Tap, just in case you’re interested in becoming a fan. http://bit.ly/TeIM0

@jcroft I hate you. I hate with love, but I still hate you.

Having trouble containing my drool as all these high end medium format cameras go whizzing by my desk for a photo shoot of our office.

Apparently my body gave up. Just woke up after going home sick. Drinking fluids and watching TV in hopes of feeling better tomorrow.

Sore throat. Chills. Can’t sleep. Blegh.

@kennymeyers Ha ha ha ha! Nice.

@nathanborror That, my friend, is an excellent tweet.

Beautiful type poster http://bit.ly/DBFsF from the soon to be Facebook Product Designer Drew Hamlin. It’s making me a little homesick!

Caltraining it.

@stickel I ended up caving and just cooking, but noted. Thanks!

@monsour Aye. Having Facebook provided meals makes it hard to keep the fridge stocked. It’s not a good excuse, but it’s all I got.

Was planning to pick up some take out tonight, but everything seems to close at 5. Anyone know a good place in Dogpatch open late on Sunday?

Another Sunday, another amazing comeback win for Woods.

Go see The Hangover and laugh. You can thank me later.

Somehow got roped into building shelves for womens shoes. I blame Mosseri.

Got up at 7 and then again at 9:30. It’s already shaping up to be a great weekend.

Facebook week one, check. It was both fun and exhausting. Now trying to dig deep to go out and celebrate because I definitely need a beer.

I may live in California again, but I still hate the Lakers.

@needcaffeine Just a little.

Over-caffeinated.

@simplebits Happy birthday!

Dear guy putting in hardwood floors next door at 7:00am, I’ve left now so you can go take a break.

Saw one car on 280 on my drive home. For those of you thinking of commuting, 2am on Thursday morning is a great time to beat traffic.

@kennymeyers Totally.

Just heard President Bartlet schilling Midas Mufflers on the radio. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Has been trying to sleep in for this tonight: http://bit.ly/uEmF Emphasis on *trying*.

Finding new appreciation for my couch.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Why?” “Because it’s the only thing that ever has.”

@IndiEmag What’s the link to the site? I’d love to check it out?!?

Off to start day one at Facebook.

Just picked up the Lonely Planet SF guide iPhone app, since they’re offering it for free for a limited time. http://bit.ly/hyDKq

@jvollmer I was skeptical too, but it was fantastic.

Two thumbs UP!

At the Castro Theatre waiting for Up in 3D. This organ is rad.

Stopped at a random Indian Eatery, Kasa, before the film. Damn, San Francisco you have some delicious food.

Settling in. I haven’t left the house all day and am totally okay with it. Looking forward to seeing Up tonight though.

Tossed a few more polaroids on the map http://bit.ly/1dVrT and calling it done.

And now off to go grab lunch with @lbm and @wilsonminer and then kayaking. I can already tell work Monday is going to be a rude awakening.

@keeg Ha! Yeah, Alfred was a trooper!

More photos to come, but I had some fun this morning documenting the road trip down to San Francisco http://bit.ly/pZAuB

Spending some time with the pen tool this morning. Had an internal debate with how dirty that sounds, but decided I’d post it anyway.

Good conversation and beers with @simmy now enjoying the Cavs game at the Jay n’ Bee.

Also, Apple please make this easier and less jargon-ridden.

Figured it out thanks to @garrettmurray and @ryanirelan. It needs to be a WDS network. See this article for details http://bit.ly/t8LbE

@ryanirelan Alright, I think they’ve changed the language a bit now with this AirPort utility but I’ll give that a shot. Thanks!

@ryanirelan How do you have it setup? Do you just have your Airport Express joining your existing network or are you using WDS?

Can you plug an ethernet cable from a Tivo HD directly into an Airport Express so it can access the internet?

Just signed up for A Million Little Pictures http://www.arthousecoop.com/projects/amlp and I can’t wait to get my camera!

Finally purchased CandyBar from the Panic sale http://www.panic.com/sale/

Yes, along with every other web designer on the planet, I too can’t wait for TypeKit http://bit.ly/133MZN

I’ve been recruited to the beer leagues.

Having an in-unit washer and dryer does make doing laundry easier, but it definitely doesn’t make you *want* to do your laundry.

Oh man, I forgot how great Squirt is.

Then an epic Risk battle with @smadden, Jasmyn and Jodie. Now to get out and enjoy the sunny San Francisco weather before the summer fog.

Great Memorial Day party yesterday with @bronwynjones, @simmy, @wilsonminer, @dunstan and other new friends.

Splitting headache Box count 4 Remaining horizontal Apartment is winning Tired of unpacking End is near

Awesome night out w/ friends. Mission St. Food was delicious. Homestead chatter was great, but the move has caught up with me. Exhausted.

In-N-Out was even better than I remembered.

I now have an apartment full of boxes.

Exhausted, but the new apartment is awesome. Another long day tomorrow but my stuff gets here!

Hello California. I’m officially a fruit smuggler.

Portland it’s been real. San Francisco bound!

I’ll miss you Burgerville, but damn I can’t wait for an In-N-Out burger.

Goodbye Seattle. Don’t forget to turn out the lights!

Turns out my stuff arrives on the first day of the 11 day delivery window. Score!

The movers are done and the car is packed. Just a few more hours left in Seattle.

In case you were curious, lower back pain is not one of the perks of being 6‘9”.

@shawnm is it even fair to mention that my new place has an in-unit washer and dryer?

It’s an odd feeling watching other people pack up our stuff while you just sit and watch. I’m not complaining, but still weird.

Happily processing a few orders for @levelandtap, but I swear the site knows I’ll to be away from my computer for a few days.

Packing and going through all my stuff before the movers come tomorrow.

Chillin’ on a boat in Port Madison with the late afternoon sun on my neck.

I’m on a boat! …and yes I’ve got my flippy floppies.

A little sad I’m a week too late for Bay to Breakers but I’m pretty sure this day sailing in Seattle is going to make up for it.

Witnessing magic happen at the Boxcar tonight, thanks to Journey and a little liquid courage. Don’t stop believin’!

Playing an endangered game over in West Seattle.

@Frideswide1 Nope. I don’t have a 3G iPhone! Hopefully soon!

Great time out in the park with all my Seattle friends. I’m going to miss you! Now to Red Mill to brave the crowds for a delicious burger.

Heading out to Gas Works to enjoy the sun. I can see what you’re trying to do here Seattle, but it won’t work. I’m still leaving.

Listening to @jcroft “origins”.

Spent 15 minutes talking to my moving coordinator when she found out I was going to work at Facebook. Okay, so this is going to be an issue.

Plants re-potted for the trip down. Everything is coming together nicely.

@jcroft You know I’m always up for an afternoon at Gas Works. I’m in.

Changing addresses, insurance and closing utility accounts. I foresee this being a lot more automated someday soon.

@jb Happy birthday!

@garrettmurray Happy birthday good sir.

@shoghon It was great to meet you too! Good luck in Seattle!

They just turned off the water in my building “for a few hours”. Luckily I just made a tuna sandwich and the cans are still in the sink.

That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest. -Henry David Thoreau

Cleaning closets. My life is riveting right now, I know, don’t be too jealous.

Since WaMu is now Chase and I’m moving, I need a new bank or credit union. Anyone have a good suggestion for one in San Francisco?

@monsour The windows are open! I just didn’t want to burn down the place while I was out for a walk.

Cleaning my oven. Or, as I like to call it, hitting a button and waiting around for 4.5 hours while my apartment stinks.

Movers scheduled. The best they can give me is a 11 day window on when my stuff will arrive. Hello air matress.

Ugh. Lost my whole roll of black and white portraits. Rookie move.

Finished the second season of The OC just in time for my trek back to California. I should be covered now right?

Ended my brief Seattle indoor soccer career tonight mostly injury free. I’m considering that a victory.

I really should have found Seward Park before I had a week and a half left in Seattle. Damn this place is nice.

Soaking up the sun.

Great lunch with @keeg, @saphrin and Jodie.

Breakfast in bed accomplished.

Heading over to the east side to have lunch with @dotsara and @jb.

Last day in the office. Sniff.

Finally got around to posting my “inspired by Grant Hamilton” polaroids http://www.flickr.com/photos/twatson/3509897457/

@paige Thanks! Unfortunately not! I figure this way it’ll just force me to get out more. It’s not like I’m not going to be taking photos!

@paige Thanks! Unfortunately not! This way I’ll just have to get out to take ‘em though!

@paige Thanks! Unfortunately not! This way I’ll just have to get out to take ‘em though!

@joshualane I just figured that came with every San Francisco apartment.

@theercs Oh there will be pics soon! I’ll get you the address!

Lease signed. I’ve got an apartment in San Francisco!

My co-workers are awesome. Thanks for the fantastic send off brunch @blueflavor!

Totally mesmerized by this http://bit.ly/BTX4P

Despite the iPhone shenanigans, it was great to see all you wonderful web geeks last night.

I hate @brilliantcrank.

Poopin’

Stunningly beautiful but also saddening photos http://www.dayswithmyfather.com/

There are no more functioning ping pong balls at @blueflavor. Luckily my last day is Friday.

I only brought film cameras on my trip down to Portland, which was great, but now I’m annoyed by my lack of stuff to post to Flickr.

@stickel Damn, that looks nice, but actually this is going to be my one and only personal machine. I only had Blue Flavor’s laptop before.

Setting up my new Mac Mini. Apple’s migration assistant is awesome.

@WanderingMatt Dammit Matt! Sorry I missed you!

I just wanted to send a huge thanks out to @webfaction for being awesome last week for keeping @levelandtap up after it was “Fireball’d”.

Just spent the past hour processing orders and responding to feedback for @levelandtap. Thanks again everyone!

Sad I wasn’t able to make it to @refreshseattle to see everyone last night. I was still getting back from my trip down to Portland.

Decided I’m not going to catch up on the internet tonight, but I’m pretty sure it’ll be there in the morning.

Waiting for what better be a damn good breakfast at The Original Pancake House.

Shopped. Oof.

Staring out at the Willamette river, excited about the move to California, but knowing I’m going to miss all this green—just not the grey.

Packing up for a quick weekend trip down to Portland to visit friends and family. I’ve got to take advantage of the proximity while I can!

@dacort Yep. It was near perfect.

Elysian, sun, brews and a patio. Yeah, that’s a great happy hour.

Finishing up my last design for @blueflavor. Bittersweet!

@dotsara Happy birthday!

Just achieved my lifelong goal of heading the ball into the back of the net. Next up touching my toes.

Oh I see how it is Seattle, I decide to leave and NOW you get all sunny. Figures.

Thanks again for all the well wishes! I’ll be in Seattle for the next few weeks, so if you’re around let’s try and meet up before I take off

Thanks everyone! @dkr has some very kind words over at @blueflavor http://bit.ly/Fqraz Thank you sir!

Going, going, back, back, to Cali, Cali http://bit.ly/ynuEQ

Up and at’em.

@ChristianWatson Thanks Christian. Not quite yet!

Excuse me Tech N9ne.

Getting ready for the Tech9 show with @jcroft.

@brownthings Thanks, yeah, I turned on more caching which is helping out with the speed too.

Level & Tap just got “Fireball’d” http://bit.ly/zArj2 A huge thanks to WebFaction http://bit.ly/2PTQi for getting the site back up!

Watching amazing happen.

Tasting wine. Thuggishly. The Phil Collins blasting over the speakers confirms it.

Flipping through photos and explaining to the sun that it’s still a bit cold out and it needs to come out before my run.

I’ve decided, @jcroft has a future as a piano bar singer.

For you photographers, 50% off Simplifi http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/simplifi I’ve got one on my desk and absolutely love it!

The problem with the iPhone app store is that you can impulse buy a $3.99 app at the bar after a few beers… Well, hello Birdhouse.

Epic ping pong battle with @jcroft. I emerged victorious with a 31-29 victory.

@nathanborror Thanks man!

@procload Thanks man!

@cameronmoll Thank you sir!

And I just asked @jcroft another Django question.

Thanks again everyone for the well wishing for @levelandtap! For new photo updates with the site be sure and subscribe http://bit.ly/9Vfe7

I love bananas so much I’m starting to wonder if I have a potassium deficiency.

Chilling on the back deck of Murphy’s with @jcroft.

Wishing I was back here http://bit.ly/iWwsY

Yep, Tweetie for Mac lived up to the hype. Well done @atebits http://bit.ly/6FXY

Sun’s out, I’m listening to John in the Morning http://bit.ly/1cifAJ and wearing my B Positive shirt http://bit.ly/bKPNy Monday I will win.

Chrissy field, Suppenkuche and then to the airport. San Francisco you were fantastic.

Yeah, I don’t want to talk about the Blazer game.

Zeitgeist, sun and the tamale lady makes for a damn fine afternoon in San Francisco.

Breakfast bagel, a walk around Alamo Square, and now lunch at Nopalito with @smadden. The bromance continues…

Kayaking in the bay was fantastic! @lbm rules for organizing the trip.

La Taqueria and beers on Digg’s roof with @trammel, @lbm and @jcroft. Now to kayak.

Fantastic brunch with @smadden and Jasmyn. Now to get ready for kayaking with @lbm and @jcroft this afternoon. SF you are gorgeous today.

SNF will never be the same, but it was time. John Madden, you’ll be missed.

Playing Flight Control at the airport!

Eating a Qdoba burrito and wondering if it’s a Chipotle knockoff or if it’s the other way around.

@TK421 Yeah, I do like the video. It definitely takes a little getting used to, but it’s great to have it right on the camera!

Only bringing my D90 and 18-105mm kit lens to SF this weekend. Finally going to force myself to use it!

@monsour Well, you don’t need a backpack to carry it around, so I’m sure you’re not interested.

Stoked: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0904/09041401nikon10mm24mmlens.asp

Heading down to SF this weekend for a long overdue visit with @smadden. What’s everyone up to?

@wlkh Very cool. I’m not quite there yet, but I’ll send you an email when I’m a little closer. Thanks for being so open to the idea!

@wlkh Cool! Do you offer an API to allow print orders to be sent directly to your studio?

Hey! Sun on Easter! That’s novel.

This weekend has been brought to you by Tropicana, Keenex and DayQuil. We’d also like to thank our long time sponsors Zyrtec and Claritin.

Confirming the adage “never say never”

@jorgeq Almost exclusively in RAW.

Working on some big changes coming soon to @levelandtap.

Has spent the whole day on the couch waching The O.C. Go on, judge me.

Today I will be on the couch, pounding orange juice and heavily medicated. Cold/Allergies, I will be victorious.

Allergies and a cold. Wednesday, this was not what I signed up for.

At Piecora’s for some pizza up on the hill.

After taking a look at the ALA survey http://aneventapart.com/alasurvey2008/ I’m concerned we’re not getting enough people from Antarctica.

Just realized I posted my 2000th photo to Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/twatson/3420584337/

Hoping the rumors are true and Tweetie for the Mac is released today. http://www.atebits.com/tweetie-mac/

Go Heels!

There are way too many blinded by the light white legs walking around Seattle today.

I’ve been double pounding long before “I Love You, Man”. I’m not sure that’s something I should be proud of though.

Stoop’n it with a donut and some milk. Hardcore.

@simplebits Nice! You’re going to love the D90.

Soaking up the sun and taking photos of all the stuff around the apartment I’ve been meaning to once there was good light.

A guy just walked in with an eye patch, leather jacket and a cowboy hat. I love the Rickshaw.

Basketball, burgers and now some karaoke at the Rickshaw.

And just like that, @dotsara has a photo of my new Canon AE-1 http://www.flickr.com/photos/dotsara/3412001859/

Picked up a Canon AE-1 for $10 at a yard sale!

Does anyone else see the irony of “Celebrating 5 years of Gmail” right next to “Beta”?

@theercs Sweet! Thanks so much!

Tea, taxes and a trip to the bank this morning. I should really just emigrate to England and get it over with already.

@notasausage Man, I love Flight Control! 49 is my top score so far!

@morganholzer Patience! Patience!

Can’t believe I missed these two angry faces! http://bitly.com/n57kH http://bitly.com/13IU2y

3-2 come from behind victory last night! Body is hating me right now. Also, I’m confused as to why my forearms are sore from playing soccer.

Trying to see the positive side of playing my first outdoor soccer game in 15 years in this weather. Yep, I’m thinking mud.

@worksology No problem! It’s been great so far.

@iamthatk8 No problem. I can’t wait for mine!

Testing out and liking Bluebird (http://bluebirdapp.com). I love the easy account switching and the lack of an unread count in the dock.

I love tea and I love good packaging. They had me once I clicked the link http://bitly.com/12bXmr

Running to a bar, for a beer. I might be doing this wrong, but I don’t care.

Congratulations @stop on the move to @twitter!

I haven’t thought about @37signals in years. I guess that was the main point of their blog post.

A bit more on 97 Bottles mobile from @ktamura http://tinyurl.com/derbhc

Finally got around to designing my photography sets on T Inc. http://tincorporated.com/library/sets/

I have a plant on my desk now. Life is better.

Figures. I didn’t give this pair of shoes a proper trial and have already recycled the box. Hello clown shoes.

@danrubin See future tweet: Just got back from a great run.

Waiting in line for some maple walnut and chocolate mandarin sorbet at Molly Moon’s. The smell of waffle cones are irresistable.

Taking polaroids of “Henry” all around Seattle with @dotsara. Finally had a film pack go bad on me. I was due but still annoyed.

Laughed all the way through “I Love You, Man”. Highly recommended.

@danrubin Nice! I’ll definitely check out a few of those. I’ve been creating my own for a while now, but these look like a lot of fun.

Happy with the rolls, but not the fact that all these photos make me want to shoot more film. My pocket book is wincing.

Going through some film that I took over the past month. Fingers crossed!

There’s something strange about going to by a cactus when it’s pouring down rain.

Just watched the premier episode of DTown TV and am sold. http://www.dtowntv.com/ A little cheesy, but great tips for Nikon DSLR users.

@Brilliantcrank done. DM me your address and I’ll send you the hot pink rabbit foot @jcroft picked out for you.

@Brilliantcrank don’t worry we’ll save you some pizza.

Enjoying some basketball with @jcroft, @dotsara and Jodie.

Thanks again to everyone who has given suggestions for Level & Tap! http://bitly.com/gE6k4 Reminder: the contest ends tomorrow at midnight.

Alfred made a leap for freedom during his bowl cleaning. He’s okay, we discussed it, and thankfully he’s not planning anymore shenanigans.

OJ, couch, 30 Rock. These things will make me feel better.

Airborne, water, smoothies, alcohol to “flush the system” none of them prevented the SXSW sickness from finally catching me. Dammit.

@davemerwin Thanks!

@bryanveloso Yes! Finally!

@nathanborror That is incredibly good news. What do I have to do to get it?!?

Listening to The Thermals and thinking about sun, Austin and way too much alcohol.

Alfred missed me. He jumped up and tapped my finger when I was feeding him. Fish pound!

Oh Seattle, it’s like you knew I needed a little sun this morning to ease back into your 3 more months of grey spring. Thank you.

@jcroft Oregon always wins. *grin*

@ktamura Happy birthday!

@five98 Well thank you sir! Maybe next time!

It’s good to be home.

Food in Houston and then on to Seattle. Really looking forward to getting home.

Soft water, sandpaper towels and Gestapo housekeeping, until next year Hampton Inn… Seriously though, Austin, you kicked ass.

Sitting on the Hampton balcony after yet another great day of sun and shows. Making it an early night tonight for an early flight tomorrow.

Just took a photo of a big Obey wall installation and the guy gave me a huge pile of stickers. Awesome.

Chilling at Home Slice Pizza listening to The Love Language.

Held Steady but damn The Thermals are awesome.

Chilling at the Hampton pool and then off to see American Analog Set, The Thermals and The Hold Steady. Rough life, I know.

Do the more conservative states use the urinal dividers and the more liberal ones just go with the “look if you want to buddy” philosophy?

Andrew Bird and Fritos.

Listening to Gomez play Airstream Driver and can’t help but think of @greghoyboy.

Damn The Black Joe Lewis was good.

Chilling at the park, enjoying a beautiful afternoon in the sun.

Up, feeling much more human after a SXSW break and looking for some food and bands to see later.

Chilling on the Hampton balcony waiting to meet some Austin friends for dinner.

Mellow walk around the Texas capitol building complete with plenty of twangs and y’alls.

Really enjoyed Objectified, but I liked Helvetica a bit better.

In line waiting to see Objectified with @mikeindustries.

I always feel awkward at this point with our party. I just want all my friends to get in.

At Juan in a Million with @markhuot and @iamjolly eating some delicious salsa and quicky turning that color.

Learning enough to be dangerous.

At the Winnebago Man opening checking out Grant Hamilton’s gallery.

Having dinner at Iron Cactus with @magnetbox, @lonelysandwich, @hotdogsladies and many others.

Feeling human once again.

Yep. IHOP.

Someone grabbed my phone. At the Gingerman.

Pool party at sheraton with @blumenfeld #sxsw

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Polaroid Breakfast. Y’all are great!

At Moonshine with @dotsara, @creativejuice and Ted from Scrubs.

At Katz’s for the Polaroid Breakfast.

Was great seeing everyone at the Cedar Door since I don’t plan on seeing you at the Polaroid Breakfast tomorrow. Enjoy sleeping in jerks.

@greghoyboy yeah, that’s me. All my computer stuff is named after the West Wing.

Unpacked and at the Hampton. I need food, but I’m thinking I might just go straight to Buffalo Billiards.

Catching up with @ryanmcminn in the Houston airport.

After five “woahs”, three people asking “Do you play basketball?” and one bug eyed toddler, I’m in Houston.

@ivanivanivan On TV.

Just saw a second grader on CNN explain Twitter better than I can.

Well, whatever it was, it didn’t take long. On to Austin!

I have no idea what “code bravo” means but this can’t be good for me getting through security.

Bags are packed. Now I’m just savoring the sun on this beautiful Seattle morning. Apparently Austin isn’t providing much this year.

@ktamura Nuun. Whatever you do, don’t forget the Nuun.

At the Elysian with my neighbors for a beer before the madness.

@geekgiant I fly out tomorrow at 11:20. Continental.

Running around doing a few errands and taking care of all the last minute things before my flight to Austin tomorrow.

@jimray Happy birthday sir!

@jcroft No shame in your game. Check.

Portfolio http://bitly.com/NxqOE check. 97 Bottles http://97bottles.com/ check. Level & Tap http://levelandtap.com check. It’s time for SXSW

Just purchased http://ego-app.com/ from @garrettmurray. Very, very well done. Looking forward to Google Analytics support in 1.1!

Trying, very, very hard to unplug for the evening.

It’s official, 97 Bottles http://97bottles.com is live and open to the public! Get yer drinking shoes on!

@brownthings Thanks man! It just feels great to have it finished!

@gravesit Thanks, but yeah, it feels so good just to have it done.

After years of saying, “I’ll get around to it”, I finally just spent a day and did it. My portfolio is finally up http://bitly.com/NxqOE

Scored a goal, won the soccer game, but Jodie got injured. No jubilation tonight.

After a morning/early afternoon of working on my portfolio the suns finally out. Right on cue for me to go enjoy the rest of my Sunday.

I remind myself, put it on my calendar, my computer automatically adjusts and yet every single year Springing ahead sneaks up on me.

Watched The Watchmen… “And I whispered… long.”

Good run. Somehow managed to avoid the rain.

Polaroid Breakfast goodies! http://www.flickr.com/photos/twatson/3335911146/

@dkr Sweet! I didn’t know The Thermals were going to be there! I’ve only listened to a few albums, but what I’ve heard, I’ve loved.

3/3 from Zappos! I’m never this successful with shoe purchases.

Excited to see my name in print! http://www.flickr.com/photos/twatson/3333760756/

@jcroft Brilliant! Creepy Birthday ending is gone!

Whenever I add someone’s birthday to my calendar I make sure it repeats every year. The problem is, it makes that ends field so morbid.

Flipping through some photos and settling in for a calm night in.

Getting all the little things in order for the official launch of @97Bottles next week.

Fired up some “recession stew” in the crock pot this morning.

Has opted for a long shower and some strong tea, in hopes of thwarting this lackluster morning.

Motivation and inspiration are lacking on this grey morning here in Seattle.

@martinjy Thanks!

@danrubin Oh I’m in!

Staring out at the sun and wishing I wasn’t inside working.

HD Video on Flickr! http://tinyurl.com/cj6jfr

@mintchaos I love it. I borrowed one for a few months and just had to get my own.

Yes! The 85mm has arrived!

Dropping off my 10 year high school reunion “Did we find you?” postcard in the mail. Yeah, I don’t know what to think about it either.

Men are stupid. Women are crazy. These six words speak more truth than stacks and stacks of philosophy books.

The Polaroid Breakfast is now up on Sched: http://sxsw2009.sched.org/event/52f52d8caa032877d3cca1c9c7ecd4dd

Laundry, cleaning and grocery shopping. All the makings of a wild Sunday.

Off for the “long run” and then to Glazer’s to get some filters and film.

@danrubin Damn!

Off to see “He’s just not that into you.” Feel like I’ve had to tell too many girls that lately. Figure it out fellas.

To the people who still have the McCain/Palin yard sign, it’s time. You’re making the house with the Christmas lights still up look good.

Going for a run at lunch on this gorgeous, sunny day.

@simplebits Ha! Man, do I know that feeling.

@nathanborror That really was a perfect way to begin my morning. Thanks!

@danblaker great meeting you too! Yeah, love the C30!

At Hops and Chops with far too many geeks and iPhones.

We’ve opened up @97bottles so you can browse the content with an account. You’ll still need an invite to sign up, but not for long!

@shootinstar11 Ha! Thanks! You have to!

Just cancelled an old MobileMe account using their chat support, and it was surprisingly easy and efficient.

Snow? Really?

At Murphy’s getting ready for some hot trivia action. The table is set and the Menacing Zombie Peacocks are ready!

@mahalie Yes, bad forms do suck much worse. I usually do use a set of framework like things, but I had to use someone else’s code this time.

I hate forms. Really, seriously, web forms suck.

Good training tonight, and it was great to catch up with my former neighbor over some delicious sushi and ice cream.

@dotsara Nope. I love Eggers but I couldn’t make it through either.

Surprised that I’m actually looking forward to my run tonight.

Seriously, I hate to even mention Safari 4, but is anyone out there using it and having problems with Coda?

Eating half the rice they give me at the teriyaki place is the best call I’ve made all week.

Really liking the extra vertical space I get with the new tab placement in Safari 4.

Finished up day one of my half marathon training with some delicious pizza. I may be doing it wrong.

@geekgiant I’m pretty much there now. 20mm, 50mm and 85mm. I’ve got one zoom lens, but I’m actually thinking of selling it.

@mahalie Ha ha ha, yeah I saw that. Lawerence is a great guy.

Pulled the trigger on the 85mm f/1.8D. http://tinyurl.com/b7ummw I’ll get the 1.4 someday.

Yes, I’m one of the few people who didn’t hate the Tropicana rebranding. I didn’t care much for the Pepsi logo, but liked the new packaging.

Greatest karaoke songs ever by @cogaoke contestant @morganholzer.

Some cut up knees and a close lost tonight. Was able to kick in two goals in the effort though…

Getting ready for another late night soccer game.

Never underestimate the rejuvenating power of a shower.

Dropped the sis off at the airport for her flight back to New York.

In a cab on the way to the Boxcar for some karaoke.

Alfred is looking great, even if the medicine makes his water look like Tidy Bowl. Thanks @dotsara for fish sitting!

Well hello Emerald City. I do feel a bit cheated though, no yellow brick road, no rub slippers, well at least your buildings are glittering.

Had a good time helping out my grandparents, but I can’t wait to get back home today.

@kevinmhoffman Hat tip to Mr. @ccashdollar then. Beautiful work.

Love the @cogaoke site. As usual, jealous of the Happy Cog people illustrations. http://www.cogaoke.com/judges/

Trip to the doctor and at home physical therapy with my grandfather went great! And, fingers crossed, so far no infomercial mishaps.

@elycerose Ha ha ha! Yeah, definitely both. Ha ha ha!

@elycerose Am trying to decide if that’s frightening, dorky, or both. Yeah, going with both.

Just got whooped at cribbage. Looks like my grandfather’s luck is looking up!

@Sarahrahpark Ha! Yeah, it’s got a similar philosophy to my view on them.

My grandfather just fell asleep with the remote. Unfortunately, it’s now stuck on the “Turbo Jam” infomercial. 96% more effective!

@weskimcom I don’t mind at all!

So excited Grant Hamilton is coming to the Polaroid breakfast! Anyone want to be interviewed for his documentary? http://bit.ly/1meJE

Finally checked out Virb 2. Nice stuff fellas. Hat tip to all your hard work @virb.

Congrats to the Menacing Zombie Peacocks! I’m starting to wonder if it’s me bringing the team down…

Just coached my grandfather on his physical therapy regime. His reward, a nap. Great progress today though!

Packing up before I head down to the grandparents place. Helping out the “new hipped” grandfather for the rest of the week.

Surprised there isn’t an Amazon store Django application out there. Well, if there is, I couldn’t find it.

Just put up some award lists and added email notifications for the friend-to-friend beer recommendations on @97bottles.

Good day. Good photos. Goodnight.

Biscuits and gravy at Julia’s for a hearty Presidents Day breakfast.

Picked up the Betta medicine. Fingers crossed for Alfred!

Worried about Alfred, my Betta fish. I’m going to get medicine tomorrow though, so he just needs to make it through the night.

Great day out shooting with @dotsara, @jb and Ky. Camera nerd evidence here: http://twitpic.com/1igfm

Damn, Coraline in 3D was sweet! Excited to get out and take some photos in this sunshine today too.

Fighting the urge to stay in and going out. Oh Friday, why do we play these games with each other?

That walk was just what I needed.

Awards and friend-to-friend recommendations have been added to @97bottles. Check it out: http://bit.ly/53mmu

Excited about this announcement from Nikon http://tinyurl.com/c8bhlf

So, I’ve decided that eating the meat and cheese dip you made for the Superbowl shouldn’t be ate while watching the Pro Bowl the next week.

Nasty stomach ache out of nowhere! Lounging and frustrated I had to skip soccer tonight.

Trying to get excited about the Pro Bowl but can’t seem to bring myself to care.

Car, bathroom and microwave cleaned. Now to hang some pictures and get some lunch.

It’s supposed to rain later, so I figure, yeah I should go wash my car.

@garrettmurray ah, yeah I’ve got the same issue with my Harmony I just think the silence is worth it.

@garrettmurray I used to think so too! Give it a try and turn ‘em off. You’ll thank me.

Should have turned off those Tivo sounds years ago.

Off to Aaron Brothers to exchange some frames.

@gravesit I’m not. I took a look at it but it seemed a bit too much for what I needed. I’m just using PayPal’s merchant services.

Doing a little work on http://levelandtap.com this morning.

@ktamura Shoot. I turned it on, but I must of just missed it.

Yep. Marked all as read.

Alright. I’ve joined. The debate was interesting. Thanks for all the links, but I was just tired of being the vegetarian at the table.

To be clear, what I mean by “walled garden” is that I get links to things all the time that I can only view if I’m a Facebook member.

Seriously? No cons? People don’t care about Facebook being a walled garden?

So far I’m hearing that it’s mostly inevitable, although my favorite so far is “Not having facebook by now is like not having a cell phone.”

After years of resisting, I’m considering joining Facebook. Should I? Pros? Cons? Is it inevitable?

@elycerose Took you long enough!

@weskimcom I already said I’d help! How big is this thing?

Looking at the sky this morning I can’t help but think, “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning.”

Talked to my grandfather and he’s doing great. In other news, I’m never going to get my laundry done. Damn neighbors.

Sending good thoughts to my grandfather who just got out of hip replacement surgery.

@jorgeq Not a bad guess sir.

Putting the finishing touches on a little side project I’ve been working on. Planning to launch tomorrow!

Back from a great photo walk with the neighbors. Chilling on the couch listening to Cat Stevens or rather Yusuf Islam.

Deceptively cold but it was great to get out and run again.

It’s a beautiful morning for a run. Time to go take advantage of that.

Enjoyed Gran Torino last night but the only one who could really act in the movie was Clint Eastwood. Even then there was a lot of grunting.

Turkey club and some clam chowder on a rainy Friday night.

@joshualane Congratulations!

Fighting the urge to head back to bed after waking up to all this fog.

would have no problem letting NowPublic use my photos if they’d let me approve their requests without having to sign up for an account.

is jealous of people who can “just write”.

It’s been a while since I shot a roll of film. I’d forgot the whole anticipation, fear and excitement part with it sitting on my desk.

@ktamura Agreed.

is burnt out on negativity.

@sushimonster I like thinking I’m just psychic. Regardless, I think you’re going to love it there! Congrats again!

@sushimonster I thought I’d already heard that, but still, congratulations!

Love the artists for Dark Was The Night (http://bit.ly/wQ9w), but am having a hard time with it being nearly all white people.

Pfft. Snow.

@jimray I’m taking offense to that statement in defense of my username.

You&#8217;d think with a name like I <3 Teriyaki my stomach would be feeling the love right now.

Enjoying the new Bon Iver.

Another indoor soccer loss, but it was fun and I scored two goals! Also, that pot roast was so great to come home to after the game.

Totally baffled by crock pot cooking. You just dice, toss it in and wait 8 hours. Can&#8217;t wait for this pot roast though if it actually works!

Wondering why I have all this free time today. Oh right, there&#8217;s no football games.

Enjoying a lazy Saturday.

Sipping some Mythos and waiting for some Greek cuisine.

Flight booked for SXSW.

Trying out the GP-1 on my D90 thanks to @mattmay

Finally buckled down and finished something I&#8217;d been avoiding all week.

Alright, Lost was good. Looking forward to what I hope is a solid season.

Tired.

@ticjones Happy birthday!

@SmartyPig the &#8220;Visualizer&#8221;.

@simplebits It so is.

1000+ beers, almost 1700 reviews, wow. Thanks everyone for your feedback and for using @97bottles!

@mattmay Do you like it? I just checked and there weren&#8217;t any reviews. It&#8217;s not cheap! Does it work with Flickr?

Anyone out there been able to find or use the GP-1 (GPS) for Nikon cameras? I&#8217;d really like to get one but haven&#8217;t been able to find it.

Is amazed at how much better my mood is now that the sun is out.

@jordandobson Sent!

@jordandobson Just send me your email and I&#8217;ll get you one!

@u10int Thanks! Yeah, there work is beautiful and I&#8217;m glad the designed really lets their stuff show.

@gtcaz Thanks!

The case study is up on Blue Flavor now too. (http://blueflavor.com/our-work/mithun/) They were incredible clients!

Excited to see a site I designed back in October go live! http://mithun.com Huge thanks to @dkr, @ktamura and @kennymeyers too!

@halseyhoff Thanks! Lots more to do, but I&#8217;m glad you&#8217;re liking it!

Some tweaks and polish have been going on with @97bottles, and more invites are coming for everyone soon as well!

Is it too early to start shouting &#8220;Four more years, four more years&#8221;?

Happy inauguration day!

Back from a great long weekend in Portland. Unpacking and getting ready for the week.

So stoked! http://bit.ly/xO4A
