RT @michaeln3: Hummingbird demo is now up: http://demo.hummingbirdstats.com/ WebKit or Chrome required.
My @otherinbox domain name must have expired “DNS Error: Domain name not found” even though OB says it expires in 10 months.. this is bad
Some people say they wear mutiple hats, but cone on! http://yfrog.com/ea2iisj
The Wellmont theatre is a fantastic venue. Worth leaving NYC for and a great spot to the the @disco_biscuits
Gotta love eating at an unexpected BYOB restaurant when you happen to have a bottle of whiskey in your bag.
Geir: Your friend works at @tumblr? Can he explain the missing E? Mike: @GiltGroupe took it.
I can’t bring myself to check in anywhere real. Don’t care about the game. I’ll start using it when bars give me free shots to check in.
Today felt like one nice solid step in the right direction.
After installing & deleting it 4 times w/o signing up over the last year I finally registered for @foursquare.
Pooping at a mcdonalds, should I check in?
Posted to sit or squat instead, real value there
Play “Martinez” by 2 Live Crew in every jukebox you find.
Looks like there’s a Cinco de Mayo party brewing…. http://yfrog.com/58pnpj
Cinco de Mayo is a “special” day here in the office http://yfrog.com/4jp6jij
LOL, Twitter launches…. Blackbird! MORE BLACKBIRD
Breaking Bad has been awesome this season. I watch it every 3 weeks, so fulfilling in bursts.
I’ve been working on a Mac Pro while I wait for my new MBP. It’s crazy how much faster this feels.
Installing RVM for the 1st time. Also noticed that apple shipped the flawed ruby 1.8.7 patch level 173 in snow leopard, hope they update it
Ugh, computer crashed… Looks like something is corrupt on the hard drive, which is full and not repairing.
Using Mongoid on Heroku with MongoHQ
Heroku just announced a new MongoHQ addon which is totally awesome. MongoHQ + Heroku is by far the fastest way to get a MongoDB backed application up and running on the web (for free non the less).
Heroku’s docs have instructions for setting up the addon with MongoMapper but not with Mongoid (my current Mongo ORM of choice). I didn’t see an easy way to configure Mongoid from a url,...

Lol, Boxee remote on the iPad. It’s so huge! But at least now I can acutally pause a show when someone calls…
Watching the @disco_biscuits “On Time” music video via the MTV app on Boxee. Dropping cable by the end of the year may be a reality.
Really enjoying #GiltHackDay (24 hours of programming on whatever we want for @GiltGroupe). I’m working on a fun project with a great team

It’s different,but it’s still the same: check out @Skibeatz remix of @disco_biscuits “You And I” feat. @tabibonney http://bit.ly/a5z0fO
Hey @joshknowles, @brynary, @jrallison, you better have a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label with you when you finally show up.
Just watched the first 2 episodes of a SciFi miniseries I downloaded 3 years ago “The Lost Room”. Love it, can’t believe I waited so long
Zeus is a commercial load balencer/traffic manager we use at Gilt. @brynary and I built a test suite using his rack-test gem and rack-client
Great day building our RSpec test suite for #Zeus (@ZeusTechnology). Now that it’s maintainable let’s hope it doesn’t Release the Kraken!
Looks like the @disco_biscuits picked up a new fan. RT: @adamlambert Listening to Loose Change by the Disco Biscuits. Great band!
Can someone else please post how much they loved that episode so I don’t look like such a fanboy.
I like Bacon and I like Chocolate but I do not like Bacon Chocolate.
Having a great time at the Bisco Power Mission. Way to go @disco_biscuits. Wishing the best for you tomorrow Jon.
We turn to Bacon, Burgers and Brisket when there are no Biscuits
Hey @rohan_d, unbutton your shirt, that’s a Zimberg damn it.
Buy the Planet Anthem cd on iTunes. The @disco_biscuits are the number 2 electronic album right now.
I just unlocked the “Awesome” badge in Life
RT @GiltGroupe Earlier we mistakenly sent you an email regarding cufflinks. […] want to assure you that your account wasn’t charged. #gilt
Rolling at ACE bar with my brother for his birthday, come hang
What a great NYC day to ease my transition back into reality… ooh and I have a LOST to watch.

Phish and John Mayer both covered “crossroads” the first time I ever saw them live (both at MSG). What’s next for me blindfolded Mayer tour?
Heading over to the Gramercy Theater to checkout the debut of The Muscle Car Chronicles featuring @Marc_Brownstein and @CurrenSy_Spitta
My 9:48 alarm just went off…. 12hours after I wanted it to. Oh well, great day today.
