• Always astounded by the difference between my rainbow on lake and the one in the Quarry. Both in clientele and items available. #
• Bill the greyhound is our houseguest this weekend. Way more mellow than our little puppy, but when he decides to run… Wow! #
• The Elipse IDE is making my drupal tinkering much more fun and easy. Don't worry VIM, I will return to you soon for simpler things. #
• The push notification system is now outrunning the web gmail interface by quite a bit for new mail. #
• Gmail adds push email finally for iPhone! http://is.gd/3zhH8 #

• RT @cwodtke : Aaaargh, mateys, don't be forgetting to talk like a pirate today, or ye be walking the plank! #
• http://geeksandgod.com/episode125 Forgot the link where they talk about this. Drupal 7 might make this a real winner if we could find the $. #
• For ~$50K we could create a drop-in website solution for churches/churchplants. I think that might be of value 2 a church-planting movement. #
• So many things I wanted to twitter this week, but alas, no international data plan. Glad to be back in the land of ubiquitous internet. #
• Glad to be home again. Really missed my wife, my friends, and my dog. And the popular drafts weren't that impressive. #
• We asked for a car w/ navigation, and they gave us a Mercedes. We went 146mph on the autobahn today. That was fun. #
• In Berlin. Staying close to checkpoint charlie. #
• Funny thought for the day while looking out a window: "Hey, fat people doing water aerobics… I'm fat… Maybe I should do water aerobics." #
• I really needed a win in my job, and today I felt pretty good leaving the customer. Wed will be a much tougher day, glad this was first. #
• Forgot to finish the maintenance stuff I was doing on my server, so I didn't get the Bears game recorded. CRAP! Don't tell me anything. #

• In Germany, getting ready to hit the sack. Plane trip wasn't too painful, and the new shoes performed admirably. Miss my wife already tho. #
• Pretty happy w/ my new shoes walking to the light rail and around the airport. First brown pair in a few years. #
• I forgot that the light rail is a pretty sweet way to travel in Minneapolis. #
• Just hoofed it to the lightrail station 2 go 2 the airport. It was a little humid, but in general a great trip that I rarely make on foot. #
• New shoes secured. Food, pick up dog, BBQ for an hour at Chris's place, then airport. This morning I mowed and pulled up a fence post. Busy. #
• Still hoping to find a ride to th airport tonight. Or perhaps someone 2 let my dog out tonight or tomorrow morning. Either would help a lot. #
• Just started playing a little with Drupal 7, digging it so far – gonna be a sweet release when it hits final. #
• Anyone want to do something tonight? Due to the womens retreat I'm home alone tonight. #
• Can anyone give me a ride to the airport tomorrow between 7:30 and 8? #
• Google voice now forwards txt to email – U can txt (or call) me @ 612-208-2361 (might take a few min tho). Google Voice & free SMS FTW! #
• Fought a wood & a metal fence post today. Broke the wood one off, but lost the battle against the metal. Tomorrow we try again. #

• Loving Chicago today. Picked up cheap meat for BBQ, ate lunch @ Portillos, & now hanging out waiting for a televised Illini game. #
• Found out yesterday I'm being sent to Germany over the Bears season opener against the Packers. Pretty annoyed about the trip in general. #
• 4:30AM service call from Germany, just leaving the office now. Pretty much sums up my day besides a really great breakfast w/ Pete. #
• Why does facebooks chat thing have 2 SUCK SO BAD! Why is it that when someone messages me all other txt boxes in firefox stop working? #fail #
• Never a dull moment at Veeco. Maybe someday I'll catch up on all this paperwork, and actually design something new. #
• Alpha training tonight. Big group of people interested in being on the team. My favorite Brit saying from the DVD "How did you get on?" #
• RT @phoronix: X.Org 7.5 Is Frozen, XKB2 Gets Postponed Again http://ff.im/-7snfE – Isn't it about time we started thinking about post X.org? #
