December 2009
Pandemic is a pretty neat board game. Good stuff. Looking forward to a full 4 player run. #fb http://twitpic.com/vh53z
Just ran a solo round of Pandemic. Misread a rule that kind of let me win too easily. Whoops. May have to try again.
New Super Mario Bros Wii may just be the best 4p game ever made.
WOO MERRY CHRISTMAS WOO WOO #christmas
Most days, sitting through VB compiling bugs me. Not so much today.
It’s bad that I was able to read this message without help or anything, I think. RT @r2d2: 48 61 70 70 79 20 4c 69 66 65 20 44 61 79 21
Nerd confession: I’ve played WoW and MUDs and such, but haven’t ever done any sort of RP/D&D/etc.
Finally listening to the Penny Arcade D&D podcasts I’ve had queued up for over a year. Quite enjoying these.
RT @nevenmrgan: Whenever I get annoyed with people’s obsession with sports, please remind me that I follow tech news in essentially the …
An absolutely awesome article by @meaganfisher that all web creators should read: Make Your Mockup in Markup http://bit.ly/4XcQ1A
I’m not a huge Christmas music guy, but Jazz Holidays on #Pandora is just about perfect. http://bit.ly/7H2J8r
Had kind of an amusing thought that doing Christmas shopping via spam would result in some interesting gifts for people.
(I wouldn’t actually do that, I don’t want to encourage the spammers, just sayin’, kind of a funny thought.)
I don’t think I could do this to my didge, but man, how awesome is that thing? I assert, very awesome. http://bit.ly/8PbGKB
December will start on Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve.
Talking about Christmas Eve Eve is just a slippery slope. Next thing you know, we’ll be talking about Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve.
LOST Season 6 on iTunes already has 67 5-star ratings, before a single episode has aired. iTunes shouldn’t allow ratings before content.
Streaming the snow from my office window for a few minutes, trying to tweet it out. (brianarn live › http://ustre.am/9ZgD)
It’s not exciting to watch, but it’s pretty awesome that I can actually do a live stream over 3G like this.
Off to lunch now. Streaming for 10 mins made my phone so hot, I’ll use it as a hand-warmer as I venture out.
Either Twitter’s being flaky or people are quiet today. Ah, the holidays.
One inch snow in town / People don’t know how to drive / freeway wrecks galore #haiku #snOMG #abuseofanothertag
So, ExpressionEngine is a great CMS and all, but I just didn’t like it as much for my blog. Back to WordPress, and updated even.
Home again, home again →
Well, that was a fun experiment of sorts.
As I wrote back in July, I converted my site to ExpressionEngine. I thought it’d be this great revolution for me. Instead, I just about fell off the face…
It’s full of stars →
I’m hoping to make this more of a thing, where I make fun little toys in HTML5. I made my drum kit sometime back, and had played around with <canvas> some last year. Since I’m kind of signed up to…
This file has a line of code that says “Private Opening”. I think I snickered for a good minute. #manchild
If I ask you for information to confirm that what I’m reading in the EXIF of an image is correct, don’t just tell me to check the EXIF.
(In this case, the information was not up to the geotagging spec and looks rather bizarre, so I wanted confirmation outside of EXIF)
Gotta say, I absolutely love this song — I’m listening to “Rose Rouge” by St. Germain (http://bit.ly/51U1Ay) #pandora
Pandora, going from Lady Gaga (which isn’t exactly a preferred choice) to some smooth jazz is just immensely jarring.
Got a call from someone yesterday, telling me they bought an Airport Express. The call was to “add some cheer” to my day.
I love my Apple products and all, but it’s not like I do a dance of joy every time Apple sells something to friends/family.
Maybe if I announce intent to host a gaming party at least once a month in 2010 (and preferably forever after), I’ll actually do it.
I think January 30th will be the first one — later in the month namely because that’s the weekend right before my birthday.

Not my picture, but I have to share http://twitpic.com/ujiod - snow pandas! Awesome.
I readily admit to having said “I use a Mac now, I don’t know anything about Windows anymore” to avoid this situation: http://bit.ly/7NiH1j
It’s worth noting that Firefox 3.5 beating out IE7 now does not mean that the Gecko engine is more common than Trident. Keep on testing all.
The @Panic blog inspires me to do better work with my own. Maybe in 2010 I’ll actually start blogging again.
RT @hotdogsladies: I don’t mind getting the stink-eye when I say, “Happy Whatever Holiday You’re Weirdly Touchy About,” because THAT is …
I used to feel more guilt when unfollowing people than I do now. Then I realized that with 95% of people, it’s not really personal.
RT @Bishma: No matter how old I get I don’t think I’ll ever forget the location of the warp pipes in Super Mario Brothers.
While fueling up this morning, I noticed that someone had left a crockpot full of… something… by the gas pump.
Feeling immensely lucky / blessed. I have a pretty rich life filled with wonderful people.
Few things aggravate me more than seeing code tutorials with variables named things like cmd1, cmd2, cmd3 etc. SEMANTIC NAMES ARE IMPORTANT!

I want to know what entities Pandora has contracted with, to play music I need to hear when I need to hear it. Maybe that’s a paid feature.
