  1. It’s amazing how cold medicine that is to be taken every 4 hours is effective for exactly 3 hours and 30 minutes. #30minutesofsniffles

  2. .@rands Early on the impulse is to build as much as possible. Over time you understand the limits of what can be maintained.

  3. @WookieeBoy When I get text messages for things that aren’t urgent, I find it annoying. I realize this is a “get off of my lawn” situation.

    Last weekend we had my daughter’s three year photo shoot (see photos). Today we got the proof sheet and I showed them to her on the iPad. Pretty cool to watch her experiment with the proof website: tap to enlarge, swipe, press the X to close, etc. Her: I want to see the photo with…

  5. Guys, GUYS! Just got a call from an Allstate recruiter regarding a “business opportunity in my area”… a BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY!!

  11. When I’m actively #hiring or acting as lead dev on a project, I fall behind. When I’m doing both at once, I fall *way* behind.

  12. I see three reasons for the Instagram acquisition:

    1. Talent
    2. Idea
    3. Product

  13. The right balance is between making only the changes necessary while making enough changes to keep things elegant.

  15. I had a handful of the songs but somehow I didn’t have the entire Lyle Lovett “The Road To Ensenada” album. Situation rectified.

  16. Side effect of linking to your own blog posts: you get a glimpse (via pingbacks) of how many places are re-posting your content.

  17. I can definitely feel the weight difference between the iPad 3 and the iPad 2. Feels more like an iPad 1 when lifting it by an edge.

  18. So thankful for the root canal I got this morning. Yes, you heard that right. Once the nerve is out, no more pain!
