  • “Almost everything in this room is in a landfill and just doesn’t know it yet” @AlexSteffen #
  • just sent in payment for a year’s worth of rack space @cernio. Hopefully the last time I ever have to think about hardware. #

  • befuddled by this gray sky. #
  • Adam Schiff is at risk of supporting HR801, a bad law prohibiting open access requirements for publicly funded research http://is.gd/lunv #

  • attempting to make a tasty breakfast mush out of spent brewing grains. #
  • I just voted! And then accidentally disenfranchised Michelle by signing the wrong absentee ballot envelope. #

  • is singing bye, bye breeden. #
  • Morning. Always with the morning. #
  • Hoping someday to become an ex-PhD. #

  • climbing into bed with a cuddly redhead… #
  • Time for shower and a shave… that time change really screws with the concept of “morning”. #
  • Mmm. Homemade bread for breakfast… at 12:39pm (but it’s really 11:39pm, so it’s okay!) #
