time for some iMac maintenance — at Apple Store http://gowal.la/s/4uTY
feeling a little slighted right now.
damn, safari is slow and miserable to use anymore.
anyone else having problems with dropped calls with the iphone? just started happening in the last couple of days.
wow, i have never had anything i wrote in php work on the first try! #happyfirsttimes

pretty much thoroughly disgusted with snow leopard. had crashing problems since i loaded it and browsers are all slow as hell.
understatement of the day: “fecal seepage is undesirable for adoption.”
it’s very disconcerting to expect an automated phone tree and get a live person. i was totally unprepared with light-hearted banter.
email must be broken. i can’t remember the last time I woke and only had three emails. I might have been six or something.
just signed up for @bigomaha. looking forward to it, but they’re a little extra old fashioned with their paper tix. c’mon man! save a tree!
I’m getting old. used to be able to do this manual labor type stuff no problem. right now, muscles I don’t even have hurt.
exhausted.
didn’t take long for the “i can fix your slow computer” spammers to find me. and by email too. annoying!
coding someone else’s design is easy money but, wow, can it be frustrating. “attention to detail” is the mantra of the day.
starting to wonder if upgrading was a mistake. computer is running super slow now.
finally loading snow leopard today. wanna upgrade TextExpander, so it’s time…
starting to get good at this whole coding for the interwebs thing.
diggin’ on joe jackson. ♪♪ steppin’ ou-out♪♪
it’s so frustrating when html coders don’t organize their images directory. no excuse for it.
poorly named images, also frustrating. what does “input-submit-2” mean?
nice article from HF&J about mixing typefaces. Something I need to learn more about. http://jen.gs/j/t

can’t believe today of all days i have to get up earlier than usual.
damn fine tacos — at @torchytaco http://gowal.la/s/wRq
people who can afford to buy beautiful fonts are bastards.
i think i just figured out something useful. i love it when that happens.
tend to get a little panicked when I can’t find my iPhone. #precious
would love to meet some of my favorite web designers at sxsw parties, but even in a room full of geeks I would probably be uncool.
i want back all the hours of my life i’ve spent debugging ie6.
slammed my pinky finger in a door yesterday. learning how many times i used that finger to type today.
it’s so frustrating when mobile versions of websites leave out important stuff like fb’s Become a Fan button or most of nfl.com’s content.
super excited about how my latest project is coming along. hopefully I’ll get to show it off after friday!

was someone standing behind Charlize Theron holding her boobs with oven mitts? reminded me of that Janet Jackson magazine cover.
omg. queen latifa has some fierce armpit fat bulging out there. she kinda needed two straps on that dress.
saw Alice in Wonderland and loved it. it was visually stunning and a great adaptation of two of my very most favorite books.
I don’t know who the hell this band is on SNF, but that was horrific.
the trouble with having multiple email accounts is sending an email to a client from the wrong one. doesn’t look terribly professional.
wow, the next browser i’m going to dump support for is opera. what a piece of crap.
and now for my least favorite part of web design: turning on the pc and seeing what mangled mess IE has in store for me.
articles like that are like a sitcom clip show. “we couldn’t think of a storyline today so here’s a bunch of stuff you’ve already seen.”
Yeah this is a well-written article but who’s it for? If you don’t know these things you’re not designing for a living: http://bit.ly/9Tylfh
thought I was lame just getting email from TidyCats. feeling disappointment that TC isn’t on Twitter took lame to a whole new level.
Yes, I would follow cat litter on Twitter.
My favorite pic of @mikegermann yet. Isn’t he so cute?!?! http://jen.gs/j/s
of course, I realize the reason support lines (in this case, @mediatemple) have extra static-y hold music is so I don’t wait all 22 min.
nothing i hate more than 22 minutes of static-filled hold music.
super irritated I can’t find my new @The_Bark mag and wish I paid more attention to where I put stuff. i’m kinda young to be losing my mind.
