Garage Tunnels
Why isn’t it common to have a tunnel from your detached garage to the basement of your house?
Eggciting!
At the Dakota for tonights The New Standards show with my lovely wife!
Hotel WiFi is giving me 4.5 KB/sec. Anyone got a USRobotics modem sitting around?
Doing a make on git is so clean that I just like to sit and watch all the commands go by so cleanly.
MediaWiki is sort of blowing my mind.
Social Media iPhone Icons
Noticed this on my iPhone screen the other day.
What is it with the blue? These companies are supposed to be thought leaders but they can’t help but fall all over each other to have the most boring, bland and similar logos?
Where is the red? C’mon people. Make it at least seem interesting!
Minnebar 5
Another record breaking attendance for Minnebar! It’s great that even in year 5 Minnebar is drawing a large group of new people still. What a vibrant community! The group in this one session is as big as the entire group from the first Minnebar.
At the JavaScript session at Minnebar. Full house.
Checking out GPU accelerated development on the iPad session at Minnebar. This is a good reminder why mathematical thinking matters when coding.
At Intro to Git session at Minnebar. The story of git’s creation by Linus always reminds me of a story from the Bible.

After lugging all 740 pages of Team of Rivals from the library on the bus multiple times I finally caved and bought the eBook.
Find My Phone
Used “Find My iPhone” tonight to, find my iPhone. So nice to not have to search and search. Just listen for the sound.
Tyler loves to giggle. Happy Baby!
Scape Goat beer from Big Sky Brewing.
My book club picked Doris Kearns Goodwin’s Team of Rivals, a whopping 754 pages. Wish me luck!
Why do most architects write like this?
Big Move Started
Yesterday we started the big move. There have been many preparations but yesterday with the help of many family members we moved the majority of the art to the new house. “You’re moving you say?” Yes! I haven’t been writing much lately but we bought a house and closed on it on March 1st. The last three weeks we’ve had every room painted in the new house, new carpet installed and some small projects. All stuff that is great to get done when nobody is living there.
Our new house is at 53rd and Morgan in Minneapolis. Tomorrow the moving company is coming to get everything packed and ready, and on Tuesday we make the move. We’ll be in the new house after that.
We are all really excited about the new place! We are also sad to move away from a great house and friends.
