- A graphical plea for pedestrians, bicycles, and mass transit… but no cars in our cities: http://is.gd/20R4f #
- Apparently there will be no further public Pasadena Bicycle Master Plan meetings: http://is.gd/21jmS (unless we make a stink about it!) #
- Not a big fan of muckraking journalism, but occasionally it works. #
- OH in Caltech Seismolab stairs: "Richter and Gutenberg came up with the Richter scale. It's a mathematical formula."; "Huh, that figures." #
- 16 years after donating blood while I unknowingly had mononucleosis, the Red Cross still doesn't want me. That's ~50 liters of lost blood. #
- Some part of me will be sad if the era of human spaceflight ends in my lifetime, and I never went to see a launch. #
- Had a gourmet dumpster brunch: french toast w/ bread from EuroPane, eggs from TJs, jelly made from backyard kumquats. #
- When I start to work, suddenly I always have to go pee. Then I have to put on my headphones. It just isn't work without the headphones. #

- New Matplotlib release v0.99.0 http://bit.ly/1HQlaf now with 3D plotting! Seems to be asymptotically approaching v1.0. #
- The ride up to JPL and back is so nice. If only working there wasn't so governmentally obnoxious. #
- Heading down to Little Tokyo for some free Taiko… to be followed by a midnight bike ride back to Pasadena. #
- Taiko was awesome. Scoped some dumpsters on the way home. Cool summer evenings are the best for riding LA to Pasadena. #
- Am I really a freegan? Would I really want to be? One word labels are so confining. http://bit.ly/EcpVv #
- Got distracted on the way to the hummus by the fresh pesto, bread, tomatoes, basil, and balsamic. Oh well. #
- Uh oh. Getting light outside. It must be bedtime. http://bit.ly/lUxcN #
