106°F, a half mile of very thick woods, and one bee sting later, WE FOUND THE BALLOON!!
The bad news: we just blew our donut quota for the month. The good news: it’s the last day of the month!
rtphokie You can sleep a bit later this weekend as a leep second is added to the world’s atomic clocks bit.ly/QyUWNj
Brrr… time to get my sweater… temperature’s down to 102°F. It’ll be down in the double digits soon!
ncnearspace We’ve got gas! Come see us use it this weekend at the @TechShopRDU grand open house. pic.twitter.com/m1jR3NOK
I’m nerdy in the extreme. I’m whiter than sour cream.
At 8:20pm, D2 told me that she has a “nature walk” homework due tomorrow. Sunset at 8:35pm. That was one fast nature walk!
I started work on app #3 this weekend.
bcantrill Confession: when writing C, I spuriously use C++ keywords as variables to make the code hostile to anyone who attempts to embed it in C++
Unsubscribing from a bunch of old mailing lists and RSS feeds, cleaning up my 243 mail sorting rules. #clutter
Double trouble… babysitting two toddlers this weekend… hopefully they’ll sit still at some point for a picture.
I changed my source code & checked in the file with the following note —> Matt says I should not use apostrope’s for plurality.
Saw a familiar car plate “2BRNUT2B”, a reckless driver from October (https://t.co/iuu1QnSL). He hasn’t improved since then, still swerving.
So proud of D1 tonight… she made a first pass at the Arduino program that will control her Halloween costume! #maker #geekdad
mtdotnet Today is the northern hemisphere’s summer solstice. Longest day of the year.
D1 asked me, if Romney gets elected, will we have to move to Canada!
Me: Name the Beatles | D2: McCartney, Lennon, Starr & the other guy | D1: Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr & I forget | Poor George!
Wow, it’s late… but I learned a lot about making my iOS5 apps also work on older iOS4 devices.
Twitter fail - I’ve been tweeting Father’s Day messages from the @ncnearspace account. #duh
Pro tip - To peel a label from a bottle, fill with cold water, maybe even freeze it. The glue will be less sticky, label will peel easily.
It’s almost 3:00, and I am still in my pajamas.
Depositing a check by taking a picture of it with my bank’s iphone app. Seems futuristic and archaic at the same time.

@jnjosh thanks, i’ve been considering making an “unconference” app, that timeframe would work.
@jnjosh you mentioned CocoaConf, it moves around, was in Raleigh once, might be again. Is there a plan for a local one? What’s the sched?
neiltyson Wouldn’t it be cool if, right about now, silhouettes of spaceships were seen escaping Venus, visible against the glowing Sun.
While we were at swim team practice, the clouds finally cleared. Everyone at the pool gathered to see Venus, projected through binoculars.
Watching the transit of clouds.
@jnjosh Thanks for posting! I was looking for @jaythrash’s video earlier today to get some tab+behavior action going!
First-ever attempt to play a word on Words With Friends (on a game in progress). It rejected my word “Tagalog”. Bummer.
It’s pretty obvious from all of the noise that the kids are trying to surprise their mother by fixing her breakfast.
Tap dancing to The Crystal Method — now I’ve seen it all!
