Nginx is magic! I just watched it take a server with two poorly optimized @WordPress sites from a load of 80 (and climbing) to under 1.
Meeting #2: Discussing secret plans for world domination.
Adding more mp3s from the internets to iTunes. Today’s album is “MOON8”, a NES style remake of “Dark Side of the Moon.” http://boogah.org/2j

I don’t care what @thedaniel says, I’m enjoying the shit out of @caughtintherye’s “The Notorious xx”. http://boogah.org/2i

Good news! What I worried was a bum starter ended up being a dying battery. Cheaper repairs, FTW!
Tried to go to the gym this morning, but my car won’t start. I think the universe is trying to tell me something: “You need a new starter.”
This is one of the greatest fudging things I’ve ever fudging seen: http://youtu.be/uovMpapeCJQ
Totally crushing on @typekit right now. Spent a 15 minute break at work giving http://preshrunk.org/ the web font treatment.
RT @krynsky: Your Checkins are About to Get a Whole Lot Easier with Check.in [Video Demo & Invites] http://bit.ly/aipD15
Scrambling eggs and cranking “Paranoid Android”.
OH: “Maybe that chili dog isn’t Mr. Right, but maybe that chili dog is Mr. Right Now. You know what I mean?”
Auto Smiley is clever - but I wish that it had LOL detection. Maybe that’ll come in version 2.0… http://boogah.org/2g
Dear lesbian who looks like Jay-Z: Keep being awesome.
Sometimes I wonder if the next Hemingway or Thompson is off doing email based tech support somewhere.
Grabbing a nice lunch away from my desk to avoid a fire drill. (@ Bottega Louie) http://4sq.com/2u9pTc
Ever since I finished watching tonight’s Lost an hour ago, I started chomping at the bit for the recap from @The_AV_Club. Post already!
Thanks to @djkingpin, I just got the number of a certified Aeron repair center directly from Herman Miller. In warranty repairs, FTW!

My precious Aeron won’t lock in an upright position anymore! Anyone know of a reputable repair center in Los Angeles?
Completely obsessed with Colorbind after playing it on the train into work. http://boogah.org/2f
Translation: I wouldn’t give a shit about burning media if I could just plug in my iPod/iPhone. Is that the death knell of the CD-R?
In other news, I’m beginning to get terribly impatient for the replacement xB console AUX jack I bought off of eBay.
The only thing that the CD burner in my MacBook has been able to make lately is coasters.

Tickled to see a @DreamHost ad on @laughingsquid. http://flic.kr/p/7MFE4G
Things I hope are waiting for me when I get into work today: The replacement AUX jack for my Scion. The USB hub for my home office.
Look ma! I made a WordPress widget! http://boogah.org/2e (It gets a list of popular posts based on your site’s WordPress.com stats.)
Work’s almost over and I’m looking forward to heading home. Too bad @modemgirl isn’t there tho.
Hipsters on food stamps? Really? *sigh* http://boogah.org/2d
Why does Ticketmaster like to use envelopes that scream “this is probably a piece of junk mail”? I almost threw out my Hold Steady tickets.
Smorkin’ Labbits http://flic.kr/p/7LfM9u
Speaking of The Hold Steady: You should come see them with @modemgirl and I. You won’t be disappointed, I promise. http://boogah.org/2c

RT @modemgirl: I’m going to get a little drunk on Hawaiian Punch and Ketel One while I watch “Cry-Baby”… I expect this to be awesome.
After asking ourselves what Buzz Aldrin would do, @modemgirl and I totally just placed an order for a space bed.
Not at #SXSW, but still getting Tex Mex.
I can’t wait to start my weekend. @modemgirl has promised me breakfast burritos. Also, cuddling.
Mark your calendars! March 20th is “Social Network Purging Day”. http://boogah.org/2b
