Hm. Still no Tweetdeck?

Guess I’ll check out the normal Web interfaaAUUGGH

This morning: drinking coffee and checking out SSD prices for the desktop. Holy crap they’re cheap.

Asana updated their layout and I hate it a little less now.

Main problem with having linting tools is it’s so tempting to use them.

Reminded of “Haunted By Data” today. Good stuff.

I would like to challenge this picture, and ask you to imagine data not as a pristine resource, but as a waste product, a bunch of radioactive, toxic sludge that we don’t know how to handle.

It’s nice they’re so excited to see me. Granted, it’s mainly because they have to pee.

Typing, writing, knitting, and drawing are all low-grade stims for me.

Smoking probably counts, though that’s vaping now.

Also this thing with cards/badges where I press the edge on my fingertips.

Caffé Vita management sucks.

Read the thread, but definitely read the article.
