Today is our last day at the current WeatherBill office. Monday we'll be installed in our new Soma digs. The below has absolutely nothing to do with this.
 

I've been on Twitter for a while, but only recently started using it in earnest. I've got 'rific, have my Growl notifications up, and run a few Tweetscans through my feed reader to rush to the rescue of JRubyists in trouble. But I try to do something it seems most tweeters don't: I try not to crapflood my followers with useless bullshit.

[...]

That's meant unfollowing people that tweet nothing but their travel schedules, where in the house they happen to be sitting, what great new product their company just released, and a load of other nonsense. That's meant not following everyone that follows me, especially if their primary topics include walking the dog and taking out the trash.

Huzzah! We should form a club. We could call it the I-Dont-Care-How-Awesome-The-Band-You-Are-Watching-Perform-Right-Now-Is-
I-Dont-Want-Twelve-Tweets-An-Hour-About-It Club.

Things that happened today:

• Bought 7 albums in MP3 format on Amazon
• Had a solid run in Golden Gate Park
• Walked downtown to meet Sonic at her Tenderloin squat
• Watched "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", which exceeded expectations
• Chowed down on a fantastic Indian dinner
• Saw Slough Feg play a solid show at Slims
• Picked up a The Sword hoodie
• Came home to relax with WoW and the She & Him album

A few weeks ago I made a vow to not let another Saturday pass me by while I sat on my ass in my house. The streak is unbroken at 3 weeks. Next week, maybe rock climbing.

I helped fund this project at an elementary school near Charleston, SC through DonorsChoose.org. A 4th grade literacy teacher needed to put together a class library containing popular modern children's titles. A few days ago I got a package in the mail with a note from the teacher and some cards from the kids.



Totally unexpected, and extremely awesome. Apparently some of the kids were nearly fighting over the Harry Potter books :D

Full set here.

ps: I'm so awful at dealing with photos that I can't even make iPhoto work right!
