NYC Resistor is starting to fill up for a Saturday. @kellbot, @potatono, @mikehudack and a couple guests. (I’m testing the Twitter API.)
Worked late. Came home. Had a small bite. Drank some wine out of a new glass. Taking a break from practicing drum rudiments. Now back to it.
Eric brought in donuts! Not just any donuts. Homemade donuts by a family-run Brooklyn business. It was delicious but now I feel slightly ill
Just received 419 scam spam claiming to be from the “Barak H. Obama Foundation”. Somehow this seems lower than usual.
Thanks @elspethjane, @joshpaul, and @joemaller for the feedback on wine. So far I’ve discovered that Red Diamond is a good wine under $15.
OH @nycresistor: “At this point I just want to get all the nitro and lube off my hands.”

For those of us that could not get away from work, run this in bash: watch -t -n1 ’ echo “$((1234567890-`date +%s`)) seconds remaining”’
OH: “there’s 8-bit… and then there’s boobs.”
At Spitzers drinking beers with @potatono and @ericmortensen
Why do lyrics from the 60’s/70’s always mention going to the doctor for a cure/something to use/etc? Guess healthcare was better back then.
Taking a break from the electronic music while coding in favor of some Black Sabbath. “… as the war machine keeps turning!”
Dreamhost… more like Nightmarehost. eh? eh? amirite?

Giving Harry, IEEE editor, a tour of NYC Resistor. Raph and Eric are already demonstrating how a breadboard works.
Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” is playing in the deli this morning. I can’t help but wonder if it’s meant to be funny.
Nothing in this world seems impossible once you manage to remove that
pesky eyelash from the corner of your eye. Feeling of relief: huge.
Email spam subject of the day: “This NOT a JOKE”. mmmhmmmm.

Time Warner cable modem was out for a few hours. Tried to make do with EVDO but testing video was painful!
