After I give my son a bath I say (in a deep voice), "it rubs the lotion on the baby!" Is that wrong?

Dear son: while I also enjoy echoes, please refrain from screaming in my ear during the entire walk to the grocery store.

that last one was supposed to be 'I heart UFC'. ping.fm ate my brackets.

A kid at the playground is wearing a 'I UFC' onesie. That is seriously disturbing.

It's playground time!

Toddler in bed, wife in bed, this is 100% me time, at least for an hour or so. Precious.

Many toddlers & martinis today, followed by train ride home. What a fun afternoon!

Fresh-brewed Blue Bottle coffee is my Saturday morning drug of choice.

I would be hard pressed to think of a way to make the BART ticket machines any more complicated.

Hey creepy old dude, stop touching my feet. (http://ping.fm/AP7gz)

Well, guess its good I went with Remember the Milk instead of iwantsandy or stikkit... (http://ping.fm/qey84)

Holy crap some weird people ride the #47 bus in San Francisco. Conduit between jail and tenderloin.

Gough is to San Francisco as Houston is to NYC.

Looks like the helicopters are above SF because they are lighting the tree at Union Square tonight.

Three news helicopters hovering above midtown San Francisco right now.

Tickling Max with my beard. Also: lazy day!

Two t-day feasts survived, nay I say, dominated! Family plus a large collection of leftovers safely back home. Tomorrow: more rejoicing.

Second thanksgiving dinner was also a success. Leftovers 4 evar!

The terrible twos are in session, judge Maxililian presiding.

Wrapping up my work for the week. Happy thanksgiving all my US friends. I'm going to try and survive two big meals tomorrow.

There are free gyms at both my work & home. I use neither so they just serve to make me feel guilty.

I think I have to reimplement perl's system() command myself to get behavior I need (keep spawned process in process group). Yuck.

those damned blue-collar tweakers have always run this town.

Can someone suggest an easy way (command line?) to dump all my past twitter tweets to a file? Seems harder than it should be.

I'm going to buy a g1 just to spite the iphone.

Someone brought some really weird candy to the meeting. What is that flavor? Why do these blocks of dust taste like soybean?

Just started reading 'Halting State' by Charles Stross. Waiting to see if it is as weird as 'Accelerando'.

I just realized that I've confabulated Aaron Eckhart and Guy Pearce for years. Eckhart is the better actor.

Note to older gent smoking pipe while riding bicycle: those activities cannot be combined.

I think the only thing worse than T-Pain's dancing are the lyrics to his songs.

The exercise I get from walking 8 blocks back from Whole Foods carrying a toddler and two bags of groceries is fantastic.

People painted to match the wallpaper behind them. Weirdly fascinating. (http://ping.fm/7Oiga)

Its an absolutely beautiful fall afternoon at the Ferry Bldg. Farmers Market today.

Having a son makes me try to be a better son myself, and reflect on all the times that I haven't done a very good job at that.

Food at Tres Agaves was good but the service kinda sucked. Think we will eat at Paragon next time.

11th anniversary dinner and drinks tonight. Paragon & Tres Agaves.

Turns our 'Napolean Dynamite' is screwing it up for everyone. (http://ping.fm/BywUq)

I really like the way the singer in Styx says he is 'a modren man' in the song 'Mr. Roboto'.

Every time I look at green beans I think haricort verts. NYC vs. Montana brain conflict.

Yahoo cafeteria had thanksgiving dinner on lunch menu. Couldn't resist. Happy early holiday, tummy!

Just went on an amazon wishlisting bender.

Thanksgiving and the Yahoo! Layoffs! both loom large.

What? I can't buy a Yugo any more? Wtf is happening to the world? (http://ping.fm/mJ685)

Holy Crap I hate these things so much but I'm not sure why. (http://ping.fm/e1FOn)

The shirt I put on this morning was so heavily starched that I had a hard time buttoning it. That's how I like 'em!

Does Beirut have any really good songs besides 'Elephant Gun'? That's the only one I actually like I think.

Calvin Klein undershirts really are a quality product. Super comfy and soft. Far superior to Hanes or Fruit of the Loom.

Life turns out to be so much more yet somehow so much less than you expected when you were 12.

There's a boat named the 'Photon' in the yacht harbor. Insert some physics joke about waves vs. particles here.

There is a complete primeval satisfaction in holding your small child as he slowly falls asleep.

My son looks a lot better in a turtleneck than I do.

Watching max do some chalk drawerings at playground.

Just push the button, we do the rest.

My employer never transmiited check info to bofa so check doesn't exist. No pay for me! @lpowell st. And market st. San francisco ca

Eating Batter Blasters with Max. There needs to be Omelette Blasters too so all my breakfast needs come in pressurized cans.

Got the toddler to bed and now it's 'daddy gets to read his book' time.

Turns out that even in HD Stargate Atlantis is still a terrible show.

Bofa refused my paycheck because my employer banks with them and has not transmitted info. Hence check does not yet exist.

Man the BofA on 4th & Brannan in SF sure is a dump. Can't they put in new carpet and paint or something?

Caltrain is my compass.

Paycheck in my sweaty palm, one week late. Thanks US postal service!

Paycheck lost in mail so spent all day running around to get replacement. I do know about direct deposit - am changing banks.

Remember how duracell batteries used to have that charge indicator strip? That was cool. Guess ultimately just a gimmick tho.

I like the fact that I can vacuum my entire apartment without unplugging once.

Sometimes I want to declare that a work project has a blown transaxle and you're just grinding metal.

I notice there is a teleconferencing room in Sunnyvale building D called 'ansible'. Calling all sci-fi nerds!

eBoy book. There's something so fascinating about his little pictures. (http://ping.fm/dvogH)

People at Y! say 'loop in' when adding someone to an online conversation or email discussion. I love that terminology.

It 10:38 on the number 38 bus heading down geary.

I am in nerd heaven at the Weird Stuff Warehouse.

I'm going to feign a seizure to get out of this meeting.

Meeting presenters gotta srsly turn off their IM alerts while they run their pwrpnts. For reals.

I have absolutely no idea what I am doing today.

Imports your last.fm, pandora, and itunes data to keep you informed about shows in your area. (http://sonicliving.com/)

Next year I need to be more specific when sending son out to collect trick-or-treat candy. Not enough chocolate in the bag.

They planted cyclamen at our apartment complex. I forgot you could grow those outside. Welcome to California!

I say we go back to calling the telephone the 'Ameche', or maybe update to the 'Mobile-Ameche'.

My mac just told me it needs to install an update that requires a reboot. The update is for digital camera RAW file handling. Reboot why?

Interesting howto for converting a flatbed scanner into an artsy camera. (http://ping.fm/kiw0s)

Made raisin waffles for breakfast today. Max enjoyed them but I had a heck of a time getting them to release from the waffle iron.

ping.fm is stripping links? Here's the video about twine: http://ping.fm/Ye6N4

So this is how you can use twine. Still can't figure it quite out...

Train conductors really, really dislike touching passengers to wake them to show their tickets. Afraid they are punchy drunk?

New redesign of The Atlantic disappoints. If I'd wanted Newsweek I would have bought it.

There's a toothpaste called 'Prevident'. That would also be a great (although misleading) brand of car insurance.

Love the band name, and the music: casiotone for the painfully alone (http://www.cftpa.org/)

I wish more things in life were knurled.

Listening to: Eric B. & Rakim – Microphone Fiend

Wearing long-sleeve shirt, sweater, and blazer. Really misjudged the weather today. At least I look snappy.

BART trains are shockingly loud inside. Or is it just this particular one?

My kid looks like the most adorable jawa ever in his hoodie with the hood pulled up.

Lots of yes on k, no on 8, yes on b solidarity going on. Affordable same sex worker housing anyone?

Now the city hall cop is asking the prostitutes to back off the anti-K people and give them space to hand out their pamphlets

Lot of yelling about a 'war on whores' at city hall.

The yes on K people are the most interesting. Very colorful.

Pandemonium @ SF city hall. Hookers yes on K, Jesus freaks yes on 8, horns honking, screaming, etc. #election

On my way to drop off my early ballot at City Hall.

Why did it take me so many years to realize how wasteful non-reusable shopping bags are? I am a little ashamed.

Tonight's toddler food recipe: carrot, apple, spinach. Cook, blend chunky with a dash of salt and butter (because he is growing up!).
