Having a hard time waiting for the first autocross of the season. Empty parking lots beckon, and traffic cones tempt me at every turn.

A bubbling airlock warms the heart.

Thinking #OctaneParty could fill a real niche. Maybe not as a political party, but a central view of public opinion on automotive topics.
Well-deserved. RT @atomicobject: honored as a “Michigan 50 Companies to Watch” for 2010 by the Edward Lowe Foundation. http://bit.ly/b6IaBC
Does the #OctaneParty have a candidate for Michigan governor? We could start there before going for the presidency in 2012.
Just got back from driving a GTR. Still feel weak in the knees and not sure I can look my Mazdaspeed3 in the face. Best test drive ever.
There’s a GTR lurking around this morning — it’s beautiful. I can haz ride?
Had a lot of fun at the Broadway Our Way show at the B.O.B on Friday night. Good food, and a very entertaining performance.
At the Bob.
the free @digg app’s here for iphone! they’re giving out a tricked colorware ipad each day for 2 weeks to celebrate! http://bit.ly/diggapp
Interesting question for today: What can the health care sector learn from the Nintendo Wii?
Thought it was Saturday when I woke up this morning. Then I realized I couldn’t remember Friday.
Considering a full-grain brew in the near future — time to figure out what equipment I’ll need. DIY or buy? I do have Sat. to myself…
Go, @kblock43, go! Wish I could be there at the #rally to shout in person, “GO! GO! GO!” #rallymexico
Love that I can at least listen to #rallymexico live — WRC.com’s World Rally Radio does a pretty good job without visuals.

Retreating. Should be a fun drive.
Hate it when Apache plays magic tricks with my cookies and content-type headers. Now you see ‘em, now you don’t! Srsly?? WHY???!!
Celebrating National Pancake Day. With a side of bacon. And Southern Tier Imperial Chocolate stout. This may be my new favorite holiday.
Taking a peek into my probable future by reading example code… M and Caché Object Script, oh my!
I don’t much like the cold, but I love the way fresh snow makes the outdoors sound — muffled and private, like a cone of silence.

Thinking about picking up a Holga as something cheap yet interesting to take with us to Africa. I’m kind of geeked about it.
Looking forward to team lunch at @bistrobellavita on Wednesday. Wonder if Nic will be cooking for us… :)
Great evening to sit inside, avoid the #snowpocalypse, and sip @rogueales chocolate stout.

Playing with Expression Engine again. Structure vs. Pages — anyone care to weigh in?
Day 2 of #barcampgr is going really well. SourceForge update, did my talk, then legal talk with Stephanie Stenberg.
Exciting — @barcampgr kicks off tonight — you should be there! http://barcampgr.org #barcampgr
Rockin’ a bit of Expression Engine and TinyMCE tonight. Looks good after getting config tweaked to include table controls.

Good to be back in GR, but still working on the time shift. 7am (4am) came early.
One last meal in San Jose before the long trip home. It’s been a great trip.
Enjoyed @rolfsky’s “There are no Unicorns” talk at #oscon. Hoping to apply a lot as my innovation involvement shifts and morphs.
Seriously good stuff being presented in Scalable Web Arch. #oscon room, though a lot of it a bit too arcane and excessive for my use.
Scalable Internet Arch. at #oscon: Isolated decision making leads to unreasonable requirements, over-engineering, stupidity, and failure.
