Writing about swimming. Wrote “pool was a bit cool for my tastes”. Looked more like “for my testes”… which is probably more accurate.

So proud of D2! She made her own dress for her elementary school graduation ceremony!

Davis Drive, Cary: Cadillac following me WAY too closely… reminds me to keep a safe (and slow) speed, maintain good distances around me.

Yuck! I think there’s 12 years worth of rice and gunk in our dishwasher drain! The joys of home ownership!

Every ripple in the pool is mine.

More of my garage door fetish: our opener started opening & closing on its own today. Narrowed it down to a remote with a stuck button.

@davewiner @LachlanJ If you can point us to specific ideas in your blog, we can advocate for and amplify these ideas.

Downstairs, I can hear the kids banging around in the kitchen. Are they cooking up a Father’s Day “surprise”?

@mkennedy2d SSH -D is why I seldom need a VPN. But OpenVPN is still nice on the iPhone.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to mkennedy2d

After watching Little Snitch block outgoing Game Center connections for a few months, I finally disabled gamed entirely.

I got a lot of comments on my Ubuntu shirt at @makerfaireNC yesterday. Some folks assumed that I worked for Canonical.
