Are you kidding me? Triple overtime? I hate both these teams, and I’d buy a DVD set of this series.
April 2009
4yo is gleefully stomping around the living room in dress shoes, chanting “I’m gonna go on my compu-tah! Gonna go on my compu-tah!”
Closed my eyes for a few seconds, woke up 45 min later. Woozy.
President reads the riot act to hedge funds over Chrysler bankruptcy. Yikes. #yam
Mindmapping my way out of this mess.
Man. Do want. @Pogue makes Lumix GH1 sound fan-freakin-tastic. http://bit.ly/f8iYL
Now, if he can figure out how to scale this up and, you know, actually make it fly… http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=1581

See, even the PRESIDENT says you should wash your hands & cover your mouth when you cough. DVRing for my petri-dish kids.
News flash: George W. Bush ≠ Winston Churchill. I, for one, am SHOCKED.
Enjoying @richrose’s rally-the-team email encouraging Yammer adoption. Let’s watch and see what happens next.
Does Yammer still pull any updates with the #yam tag? We’ll know in just a moment.
Always nice to have the first email of the morning be accusatory and random. Makes the rest of the day feel fresh.

Just a quick heads-up on the flood of tips in our inbox this morning: Beta 4 of the iPhone 3.0 SDK is available now, along with a preliminary build of iTunes 8.2. New…
Houseguests left — 5:30am departure for airport to catch 8:30am flight. Too early… but I don’t tell anyone to leave LATER for the airport
Wow, that was fun! Thanks @scificast.
recording SciFi Cast with @panache & @gedeon
Ooh, here’s a promising matchup for #STBW: Sande and O’Grady, cage match. Netbooks at 20 paces! :) http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=3830
OK, now it’s just starting to feel weird here. Going back to office where it’s warm and friendly. Mostly.

First “Dude, a Mac?!?” from a passerby. Beginning to sweat, note location of emergency exits.
MindManager 8’s Flash/PDF export is pretty slick; nice way to hand off maps. Great demo from @eusp on mindmaps for sharepoint development.
Sitting in Microsoft conference center for my 10:30 call. Am I paranoid, or is my MBP/iPhone combo getting dirty looks?
Report from @heidihoover: she’s out of the tunnel and on her way to school, shook up but fine.
RT @scificast: We’ll be recording episode 31 tonight with special guest @MikeTRose! Yippee!
Report from @heidihoover of a possible car fire in the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, some drivers evacuated on foot. Any onsite intel?
At Microsoft NYC offices for a Mindjet demo session. Coffee status: ow.
Mistake #1 was lying down on the couch “just to rest my eyes.” #2 was counting on the 8yo to look up from Spiderwick Chronicles to wake me.
No words more marrow-freezing to the dinnertime Dad: “We’re out of chicken dinos.” Noooooo!
Not sure why tilt-shift video makes me happy, but it sure does. http://vimeo.com/3548220

If USA Today says it, it must be truthy — hence the enthusiasm for today’s report that sources close to the discussions are confirming an ongoing confab between…
I’m sure I’ve seen this app: video capture with an annotation layer for coaching/process improvement… now I have to remember its name.
Overnight safe boot appears to have brought the MBP back to life. Time to do some drive cleanup and a full clone.
Poor little hackintosh choked under the challenge of a Skype multiparty call… possibly due to CallRecorder compression load. *sniff*
MBP has lost keyboard/trackpad a few times this week. Now won’t show login window (does boot single-user). Yeah, like I need this.

Last week, Mike and Dave enjoyed an interview with AJ from Marketcircle and covered all the news that was fit to yammer about. You can download…
Just finished “His Majesty’s Dragon” (free Kindle/iPhone download). Very impressed. Plan to make me buy other books is working.
The Detroit-LGA flight was only 1:20ish, so it’s reasonable to assume it will take us longer to deplane than it took to fly here.
NW212 departing Detroit for LGA. Happy to be heading home. So long, Motown!
Likes: Sunsets, quiet glass of wine w/ wife, playing with kids. Dislikes: technology that makes clients frown and say “Fix this next time.”
You would think that a Dell laptop would hop on an ad-hoc shared wireless network without agita. Took a day of fiddling.
Welcome @melissaalonso — she’s not having fun yet, let’s change that.
Oh, Autorun.inf trojan, you sly minx. I’ve missed you.
