Sunday morning: when I stay in bed reading tweets and RSS until my iphone battery dies.
watching ‘the guild’. strikes a similar chord to ‘the IT crowd’, in that it makes me feel comparatively socially adept.
Waiting for ‘Australia’ to start. Is Baz Luhrman the Aussie Michael Bay? Only time will tell.
the two kinds of inspiration, for me: the ‘i need to follow this idea right now’ kind, and the ‘i need to work so, so much harder’ kind.
Pet peeve: when ppl write “Toronto, Canada”. It’s like reading “Austin, United States”. Give readers some province (state equiv.) context.
ideasplosion a few minutes ago. filled 2 8.5x11 pages with notes, switching constantly to avoid losing flow.
finally watched ‘Once’. very good. pretty.
whiteviolet:
Researching Canadian politics from the 60s, 70s, and 80s depresses me. Especially Chretien and Trudeau. Why?
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, at least we cared about them. They gave us something to care about. They were passionate. These two especially… the lofty academic who wasn’t afraid to curse in the House of Commons, the “little guy from Shawinigan” who could barely speak English when...
at work. have been awake for just long enough that i’m aware i’m exhausted.
just got a massage in the office. life is so rad.
Drinking delerium with @s_cubed. Huzzah.
slowing down = lack of consistent content, not connection speed.
am i the only non-american who takes offense at the internet slowing down so much on US holidays?
listening to reggae, writing a reggae related proposal. the caribbean is everywhere today.

brokengentleman:
I desperately want to work somewhere that has it’s own cafe, rather than a reception area.
Dammit. Cliff and I actually talked about having this very thing (due to my crazy coffee habits) when we one day own … a building.
R.
well, we’ve discussed how badly you’ll need a communications ninja.

happy thanksgiving, americans.
hey, just passed 1000 updates. at least number 1000 was vaguely interesting.
WANT: raf by raf x eastpak messenger. →
i truly missed using my computer in bed.
clearing out 1/6th of my twitter list, or my RSS list, is a hell of a lot easier than doing it on facebook. selective doesn’t scale.
Canadian SMS service
twitterstatus:
Unexpected changes in our billing have forced us into a difficult situation with our Canadian SMS service. We can’t afford to support this service given our current arrangement with our providers (where costs have been doubling for the past several months.) As a result, effective today we are no longer delivering outbound SMS over our Canadian shortcode (21212).
The ability to...
solid lunch with v. bison burger, conversation about business development, war stories, and a clear understanding of where we stand.
i truly miss my daily doses of red bull on days like today.
considering donating to charity for my parent’s gift. not sure if that makes me a good son or a bad one.
i hate worrying that i’m not getting any email. also, the hardest part of writing is deciding to write, rather than keep outlining all day.
working out the key elements of what i do is always interesting, and always makes me want to go back and do projects slightly differently.
debating my overuse of sweaters. odd thing about me: i wore sweaters all spring and most of fall, but am not wearing then in winter. weird.

just suffered minor heart attack after dropping iphone off my desk. luckily, incase and carpeted floors save the day.
I think it was espresso keeping me awake. She thinks it was spite. Either one is readily available if needed.
three christmas gifts purchased, one more identified, about 8 more to go.
Grace Park is on The Border (Canadian TV). I now watch The Border.
At work. The internets are down. Oh god oh god oh god.
i remember when i had time to blog. i felt less essential then.
internets are back up. all is well. way too much to do today.
Seems like most ‘social media experts’ don’t have insight beyond what western middle class teens consider basic social survival skills.

“People will need cars for the foreseeable future. People will never again need, nor did they ever need, synthetic collateralized debt obligations. If there were any unanticipated “market event” you could forgive the companies for failing to anticipate, it was the speculation-fueled quadrupling of gas prices over the course of three years that, along with the credit freeze, has...
Clean laundry, espresso / bailey’s, jack bauer, and a nice plaid scarf. An evening at peace.
