RT @StephenAtHome: it’s a year to the day since president obama took office. if he had half the class of sarah palin, he’d resign right now.
After some expedient application of ffmpeg, the drumkit now serves up ogg/mp3/wav (in that sequence) per browser’s preference. #w00t
Actually, the ogg sounded pretty bad, so wav is still preference, but at least it’ll work in Chrome.
RT @CeliaGarcia: I’m sorry, but iPad sounds more like a feminine hygiene product than an Apple product…
Stuff like this is just awesome to me: LittleBigPlanet Contraption Challenge finalists clear gaps in style (Joystiq) http://bit.ly/5hHMYF
Apparently my drumkit doesn’t work on Chrome because I’m using .wav files. Seriously, @google? No support for .wav? Agh.

The blatant product placement in the Biggest Loser makes me laugh.
Votes so far are 2 to 1 for tabs over spaces, but then I’ve read two language references today suggesting spaces over tabs… #codequandary
I had no idea that @wonderella had alt-text on the strips. Now I’m gonna have to re-read the whole archives.
HTMLgoodies.com wrote up a piece covering the @rww content and links to my drum kit there: http://bit.ly/6QFrTS
So not healthy, but these waffleburgers look AWESOME. http://bit.ly/4KOPZa
Tabs or spaces? #codequandaries
As someone who learned a LOT of early HTML from HTMLgoodies.com in the 90s, I’m nostalgically happy to be linked by them. :D

I’ve *really* gotta get this hole in my chin repaired. It’s always dribbling on my shirt. #notaslob #really #excuses
RT @granulac: you know, I’m sick of “it’s the internet” being an excuse for idiotic behavior. You’re liable for what you say on the inte …
Can’t find words for how excited I am to read through this copy of Dive Into Python 3. Thanks, @diveintomark!
I wonder if there’s any grounds for a class-action lawsuit against MS for all the strife and stress it causes web workers. #joking #sorta
Gym seems a good deal emptier this morning. Guess the resolutions have moved on?#fb

Tried attending a #dnd RPGA event tonight. Worst gaming experience of my life, ever. Very sad about that. :(
For as much as I like the system and concepts, I guess I just don’t have the time or people in my life to do #dnd right.

Seems like some solid tips - I like that it shows how to pull the (horrible) IE equivalents. That being said, I’d rather do it with more semantic selectors.
Reading over nutritional information for Chili’s. There’s a salad at 1,390 cals. Insane.
The new WoW armory stuff with posable 3D characters is pretty spiffy. Here’s my gnome warrior. http://bit.ly/4RdZrN
Just had a telemarketer reply with “That’s good” after I responded negatively to the “How’s it going?” question. I was kinda floored.
I’m actually doing quite well, but I like to see if they’re really listening. She wasn’t, obviously. SO glad I’m not a telemarketer anymore.
OMG, I got linked to by @rww in a story about HTML5 with my drum kit. http://bit.ly/5ryDUm
Just signed up for a @backupify account. They claim to backup social media stuffs. All signups this month are free for life, I guess.
Conan needs to go all independent and build an awesome media empire like @leolaporte did after TechTV.
It seems like an interesting idea. Once they run, and I see what it’s doing, I’ll give an update, or you can go play too.
I’m about to use our DNS server as a means of testing IE6, because the server is old. Hope I don’t break it.
I don’t know how to read and got to #webgeeks early. Anyone here?

The concepts and math of autotune in music are fascinating. The severe overuse of the technology has gotten to be grating, though.
Inbox 70 - it’s almost like Inbox Zero, just with a 7 in front. Right?
Thinking about buying ‘For The Kids’ — or at least the Mahna Mahna cover by Cake, which is awesome. http://bit.ly/7V0ad5
The more #dnd material I read, the more intrigued I get. I fear I am on the precipice of a potentially severe addiction.
