09:22 .@LASTFM really needs a better way to handle artists that share a name, e.g. www.last.fm/music/Felt #
11:22 Bout to visit Esther's grandma in Winchester and then drive home to Northampton. Thank Jesus. #
11:23 Well, not literally. #
11:49 It's might gusty here in Eastern Massachusetts. #
15:52 Picking through CDs and LPs and choosing stuff to toss out/give away/sell. #
15:59 I've accumulated a lot of reading in the time I've been away from home: www.instapaper.com/u/akahn #
16:00 Oops, that's not a public URL. Anyhow, it's a lot of articles. #
16:36 Listing stuff on FreecycleNoho. Thanks for taking my junk, strangers! #
17:11 High Places is really good. Thanks, @lucytrainor. #
18:06 I'm helping Esther with her pumpkin soup. The tamari-sesame oil seeds were great. #fb #
18:08 The Belgian-style cider is ready to bottle/drink. The British is a bit harsh and I think I'll sweeten it with honey. #
21:13 I think I'll spend some time this evening backing up and installing Snow Leopard. #
21:37 Cluttering my desk needlessly with a second display, a keyboard, and a mouse. #

07:55 Waffles but no syrup. :( #
09:39 I wonder if there's a liquor store in Cambridge that's open today. #
10:27 Installing the OS X dev tools on my dad's MacBook Pro. Why does my n00b dad have a better computer than I? #
10:38 Whoa, my parents' wireless network is fucked. #
11:27 Why does command-line Vim have an error when the 'autochdir' option is set? #
11:36 Hey, @mattwynne, ssh-forever is great. #
12:25 Switched my parents' router to use WPA and it's better now. But why are the MacBook Pro's speedtest results worse than the shitty Vaio's? #

14:16 What do Terminal.app users do when they want a meta key and they also want an option key for special characters? #

16:41 Feeling festive. I was worried this wouldn't happen. #
19:05 Hanging out in the quiet room with two dogs and a cat. #

13:13 I'm an old man. My feet and hips hurt from walking so much yesterday. Maybe I need better tourism shoes. #fb #
13:45 This looks like it'll be a great book. propython.com #
14:15 They put us on a plane with Esther-sized seats. #
16:30 I guess they're stricter at O'Hare. They made me remove the blade from my razor. But they overlooked all the spare blades in the case. #
16:31 Thank you, jetstream, for getting me home faster. #
17:58 Zevi makes me so happy to be home. <3 <3 <3 gdzl.la/7i9YAw #

00:49 Tea with Grandma Betta. Fox News on mute in the corner. #
11:15 They're talking universal broadband on Fox News. Whoa. #

08:50 Boo, FasterCSV doesn't want to parse my file. Something more descriptive than MalformedCSVError would help. I suspect a character enc issue. #
09:04 Enjoying @chacon's critical commentary on #pdfeu. #

20:20 Want to play Braid (www.braid-game.com/) but the $200 Xbox seems shitty. No hard drive and no wireless?? #
