  • Not sure I agree, but the Fire Coach Sherman crowd is growing in number & intensity. If A&M doesn't get a bowl bid, they may get their way. #

  • @avdi Digging the book so far. The question for me is always where to go to see a well-factored Rails project. Any obvious recommendations? #
  • @zeldman FWIW, the TripCase app has a tool called Flight Schedules where you can explore options. Might save time at the counter. in reply to zeldman #
  • Avoid complexity and risk of big-bang reengineering by deploying func-
    tionality in frequent increments. —Developer Proverb (oft-ignored) #

  • @gotascii DNE? Dance New England? Please parse your suggestion. in reply to gotascii #
  • Love seeing Billy Clyde on the Tech sideline, but it looks like he's got his work cut out for him. Loved his years at A&M. #

  • I was digging the Twitter activity feed, but it is gone, baby, gone. Hope they bring it back; was cool to see who people were following. #
  • Was made aware today that our office is moving, but to an area where we may sit 2 to a cube. Yikes! I think we should just work from home. #

  • Did we just have an earthquake?! #
  • Thank you for not knocking when my house was a rockin'… #
  • Feel terrible for c-mike, he can't catch a break. @aggiefootball Coach Sherman just announced Christine Michael tore his ACL last Sat vs OU #
  • Shortly after the Oklahoma quake, weather radar went from blank to green. Why? Low-flying birds. http://t.co/AAYoWaVM #
  • Reading 'The Lean Startup' is messing me up. I see what our business is doing wrong, but no one cares to listen to me. #
  • I have 5 invitations to Stackoverflow Careers (http://t.co/aadTYhZb) to give away. Let me know if interested. #
  • All this talk of how bad this Ron Washington locker room talk is, but it proves to me that his guys love him. http://t.co/1SoWZNRa #
  • Its a great night to get the resume updated. Haven't updated my stuff in a while. The sorrow of finding the occasional longstanding typo. #
  • RIP Joe Frazier. One of my favorites from back in the day when boxing was worthy of my radar. He was a badass of the highest order. #
  • LinkedIn announces a Hack Day themed to help Veterans. http://t.co/pvcJRN8C #
  • If only it was this easy to dissect the Steve Jobs design magic. http://t.co/b9DrVkFY #
  • @DamonLindelof @CarltonCuse @str8edgeracer Is CJ using the power of a captive audience to read Carlton all of his script ideas or what? in reply to DamonLindelof #
  • So amazed by the Dallas Stars' great start this year. This is a team that had to add a player to be over the minimum salary cap level! #
  • @CarltonCuse You are getting CJ's Twitter handle wrong. Its not @str8edgracer, its @str8edgeracer. #wehavetogoback in reply to CarltonCuse #
  • Ken Hitchcock said it would take one practice to fix the Blues power play. Then in his bench debut, the Blues score a PP goal in the 2nd. #
  • This is the only thing American Idol got right (for me). http://t.co/w9SjlS7s And music runs a distance second to other things. #
  • @mkw1342 @sluggernation Had Texas won, would those bats have been planted in Dallas-Fort Worth? Nonetheless, creative and impressive! in reply to mkw1342 #
  • Tell me again how Rick Perry won the Texas governorship twice?! It may be a while before the nation trusts a politician from Texas. #
  • Watching re-runs of 'The Pacific'. Hell yeah! Great lead-in to Veteran's Day. Remembering my Grandfather who served in the Big One. #
  • Suzanne and I have wondered what it would be like to be remote workers free to move anywhere. What would we do, where would we move? #
  • @curtissummers spine.js, maybe? Lots of momentum behind backbone.js, but many good options. We used backbone.js for TripCase. in reply to curtissummers #
  • @cameronmoll Sounds Lean Startup-ish. Build-Measure-Learn. And then possibly pivot to persevere. All learnings from that book. in reply to cameronmoll #
  • I don't know how this has eluded me. The amazing Chilean Eddie Vedder. Sounds just like him. http://t.co/Vv4UGqM6 #

Posted on November 6, 2011 by Bill
  • Enjoyed the Stars game, but sad to see very few fans. Also, don't like the new after-goal songs or the team intro song. Bring back Pantera! #
  • Its early, but thinking the best things to do today are to finish "The Lean Startup", get some exercise, and NOT watch football. #
  • Can I have one minute of your time? I have created an anonymous survey to help explore a topic I'm interested in. http://t.co/iHOzug12 #
  • At Kroger today, it struck me that grocery carts need a redesign. Many obvious ideas are being piloted in China: http://t.co/2cJl53p5 #
  • Reposting this. Can I have one minute of your time? I have created an anonymous survey for some research I'm doing. http://t.co/iHOzug12 #
  • Did not watch a down of the Cowboys game in favor of watching 'The Walking Dead'. Apparently, the two telecasts had some similarities. #
  • Many thanks to those who spared a minute of their time to complete my survey. If you haven't, there's still time. http://t.co/iHOzug12 #
  • Responsive websites built in 10K or less—not counting some approved libraries. Inspiring. http://t.co/zSuhjS0J #
  • And now the news that an earthquake strikes 200 miles south of Cabo. To think we missed these events by 2 months. http://t.co/LSY2LRCz #
  • We all knew Steve Jobs wasn't fun to work for. Greatness does not bubble to the surface when people are not challenged. http://t.co/ULqzvSJr #
  • I'm one of few that I notice taking notes in meetings. Its worrisome that others don't. Here's why I do it. http://t.co/I4ltkyxB #
  • @PursueMobile No public hacking for me with OU vs A&M this Saturday. Sorry! in reply to PursueMobile #
  • Two dudes knocked on my door with a startup idea this evening…and I actually talked to them for an hour! That's a new one for sure! #
  • Not sure I'm liking the Google redesign of Gmail, Reader, etc. Too much whitespace, too little contrast…or something. #
  • Pearl Jam 20 was amazing! Highly recommended if you are into Pearl Jam or even Soundgarden; plenty of Chris Cornell in there too. #
  • He didn't read my fourth letter! > Video of Chickenfoot's "Three And A Half Letters (I Need A Job)" from Jimmy Kimmel http://t.co/Q5HPoSsn #
  • 2nd half collapse well underway for the Aggies and this time they don't even carry the lead at halftime. And this was our year?! #gigem #

  • Is this bad? Bailing on the Rangers to salvage some hope of entertainment on a Saturday night. Watching '20 Million Miles to Earth.' #
  • OU loses. So you're saying we have a chance… Damn that one point loss to Oklahoma State! #gigem #
  • Mike Napoli rocks the "Dirtbag" shirt in the post-game conference! Funny. #
  • Waiting to work for a company where leadership reads more than I do and actually inspires once in while. Last time was in '97 or so! #
  • In March of 2007, I wrote a blog titled 'Why IT Sucks'. Sadly, it reads well 4+ years later. There be zombies here. http://t.co/6Y1OqrdS #
  • Does anybody get (wanted) technical training through their company anymore? Just curious. #
  • Meaning they facilitate the training. #
  • Win or lose in this series, have the Rangers not turned this thing around from a lovable team perspective? Who doesn't want to play here?! #
  • @theoldgreywolf Kinda not in the mood for jackassery while the team's bumbling around in the field, you know? in reply to theoldgreywolf #
  • I think that's it for CJ. Mediocre post-season for a would-be #1 I'm sure he'll have a kick-ass off-season, though. Still in this game. #
  • Well, CJ won't be a loser tonight… #
  • Dilemma for Wednesday night. Have tix to the Soundgarden concert, but its Game 6 of the WS! Won't there be live gunfire if Rangers win? #
  • So here's an anti-pattern. Big companies tend to slot you into your core competency with no regard or value to any of your other talents. #
  • Hey @ticketmaster, are you down for the count or what? Trying to download tickets. #
  • Only 6% of programmable thermostats are actually ever programmed. This one programs itself; from the iPod inventor. http://t.co/403fNpho #
  • In 1987 and again in '88, I wrote software to manage Fantasy Football. Today, FF is an $800 million business. Damn! http://t.co/NBoDeQ9k #
  • Company reorg. We now report to a dude officing in Krakow, Poland as we roll into an IT group. Well, that makes a bunch of sense. #sigh #
  • On another note, how's the Ruby on Rails job market in Dallas-Fort Worth these days? Just curious. #noparticularreasonwhyimasking #
  • Anybody out there doing domain-driven design with Ruby on Rails? Have a substantive example on github or otherwise? #
  • If in Chicago: @Cooked2Prfctn is available to plan and cater your holiday parties! http://t.co/oD2dKVC4 > Shameless plug for a friend. #
  • The Steve Jobs biography arrived today. I'll have to put a hold on the various other books I'm working through while this takes precedence. #
  • @chriscornell Headed your way, the wife requests 'Like Suicide' somewhere in the set tonight. Can you work it in? #
  • Soundgarden rocked our faces off and robbed us of our hearing last night! Loudest concert in years. Speak up if you talk to me today. #
  • "BankSimple's designers sweated details down to the placement of individual decimal points." — CoDesign (http://t.co/UuYs1yrw) #
  • "He loved doing things right. He even cared about the look of the parts you couldn't see."—Steve Jobs about his Dad. Like software code! #
  • If Napoli stays in after that ankle twist, his legend grows that much more for me. That was awful to watch. #
  • @Evan_P_Grant Don't you think we better get it tonight or face the prospect of no Napoli tomorrow? That ankle likely swells overnight. #
  • wtf is going on tonight?! Half done and this is the worst WS game ever already. #
  • @Evan_P_Grant Just making sure here. You guys do have the de-frib at the ready in case Nolan needs it right? I wasn't liking his look. #
  • Wrapping the living room in plastic sheets. Fetching the champagne goggles. Ready to dogpile (if you know what I mean). #
  • Resuming plastic wrapping after a brief, unfortunate pause. Let's do this. #worldseries #
  • @Evan_P_Grant Jeff Russell is warming too. in reply to Evan_P_Grant #
  • New A&M basketball coach has early signs of Parkinson's Disease. Terrible story. Hoping for the best for him. http://t.co/C9dnCFYp #gigem #
  • @DavidHainlin Suited up *and* seeing action?! Full report later! in reply to DavidHainlin #
  • I'm going to go ahead and resume wrapping the living room in plastic and once again dig out the champagne goggles. #reversejinx #wegotthis #
  • The heartbreak of sports. Is it really worth it? This feeling SUCKS. This is going to take some time to get over. Damn. #
  • Another Aggie 2nd half collapse—3rd one this year. Even as I mourn the Rangers Word Series collapse. The cruelty of sports fandom. #
  • By the way, what has happened to Jeff Fuller this year? Lots of drops and few big catches this year. Still 1st round draft choice? #gigem #
  • @theoldgreywolf As an Aggie and Rangers fan, this collapse theme is getting a bit old. Brutal 36 hours. in reply to theoldgreywolf #
  • @Razor5Hole We're in the house supporting the Stars! Callin' the crap out of it? #

  • Aggies win. Horns lose at home. Stars win. Rangers going to World Series. Had Mexican food for dinner. Complete day! #
  • High f'ing Five to @theoldgreywolf @NewbergReport @tweetgrubes @junior_miller @GeorgeDunham @ticketradio #DOGPILE #worldseries #osb #
  • @NewbergReport If the Brew Crew win the NLCS, they will have the same record as Texas. Who gets home field advantage? #
  • I'm trying to feel okay about this Cowboys loss, but not passing to pick up first downs to salt the game away is hard to understand. #
  • @root631 Thanks for the note on the All-Star Game deciding the home field. I always forget about that rule. in reply to root631 #
  • @root631 Yeah, probably why I haven't internalized the rule! If memory serves, Ranger performances contributed to that All-Star loss. in reply to root631 #
  • so true… @GeorgeDunham Watchin a storm roll in in reply to GeorgeDunham #
  • No new car today, but maybe tomorrow. What will it be? #bullitt #notgreen #
  • @imc2Tim @imcsquared Are there any slides to Adrian's presentation? in reply to imc2Tim #
  • So damn hard to get motivated to work on anemic features motivated by internal market perceptions based on no market feedback or metrics. #
  • so true… @GeorgeDunham Musers have landed in St Louis!!! in reply to GeorgeDunham #
  • I have the new car now, when does the mid-life crisis get here? #
  • Hey @9modano, there's no reason to retweet this. Can I get a retweet? #
  • Popped the trunk to check out the spare time, but instead found a tire repair kit. Was very surprised, but understand the thought process. #
  • Easy to judge in hindsight, but that was an unfortunate sequence. Its a given to pinch-hit for Ogando, but could we get some decent ABs?! #
  • CJ Wilson is the first in MLB history to lose the All-Star game, an ALDS game, an ALCS game, and a WS game in the same year. Ouch. #
  • @DavidHainlin Proud friend of proud Dad. Must have been a pretty exciting play! in reply to DavidHainlin #
  • Nobody move. Rangers could tie or take the lead here. #
  • so true… @GeorgeDunham Go ahead bring on Rhodes #
  • @DavidHainlin And what were the second half stats? Varsity at season's end or still some seasoning left to do? #
  • @GeorgeDunham Wash just walked by me and said ''I love the way we battle'', me too > so true… #
  • @DavidHainlin Aggies are on FX again this weekend in case he wants to watch some football. Just sayin' in reply to DavidHainlin #
  • In honor of my new Mustang, we rented and watched Bullitt tonight. Great chase scene, mediocre movie, but epic Steve McQueen film review. #

  • @DavidHainlin At GF?! in reply to DavidHainlin #
  • Cost comparison of brake service from two different places: $1,020 vs $670. These variances lead to my distrust of the car service industry. #
  • A&M routes Baylor which seems fitting since they cried the most when SEC intentions were revealed. Guarantees my friend Matt buys lunch too. #
  • It would help A&M if tu beat Oklahoma State, but I just can't pull for them to do so. Still time for them to get routed at home. #gigem #

  • Hellz yeah! Texas Rangers! Now maybe we can get some evening scheduling so that some of us can see these games. #

  • Wow. Pat Forde feels A&M's one-point loss to #7 OSU means they aren't ready for the SEC. That's pretty knee-jerk to me. http://t.co/unXbbcHj #
  • @espn4d Knee-jerk reaction to say losing to #7 team deems Ags as unworthy of the SEC. Ag fans are passionate, mix in some research. #gigem #

  • Watching the Cowboys is going to be a blast this year it seems. #

  • I'd like to congratulate tu on their 1-point home win over a BYU team that was 6-6 in 2010. Winning is cyclical in College FB, even for tu. #
  • In case my Rails peeps haven't seen this yet. No experience with it yet, but sounds like something we'll want to use. http://t.co/fHyIPOn #
  • Reading 'The Accidental Creative: How To Be Brilliant at a Moment's Notice'. Can't wait to see what I can learn. http://t.co/xkzjfop #
  • That Wade Phillips Texans defense looks pretty good against a Peyton-less Indianapolis. Still, created 2 turnovers. Happy for him. #
  • I had forgotten what a kick to the balls most Cowboys games were. Still, I think this has been a great effort, so hard to complain too much. #
  • Smells like a skunk had liberties with our office over the weekend. #
  • The 'Accidental Creative' is amazing so far. Great insight into myself and the organizations that I've worked for. Yes, devs are creatives. #
  • Biz opportunity for someone. Provide a low-sodium marinade for people like me who have to watch that. Few options are out there right now. #
  • @toddhenry No, thank you! Delighted to have discovered your book and hope to recommend it more after I complete it. in reply to toddhenry #
  • The Boston Globe sets the new standard for newspaper websites: bostonglobe.com. Check out the features: http://t.co/ytmW7H2 #

  • @jour101 @sammyhagar Houston. The Rockets played their back in the '80s and it was their concert venue too. Three Lock Box tour. in reply to jour101 #
  • Beware Comet Elenin which triggers the Mayan Prophecy! Is the end near?! First I had heard of this…anyone else? http://t.co/49Y8r7XY #
  • Imagine never punting, never returning a punt, and always kicking an on sides kick—and winning! http://t.co/JCPBDIVI #
  • The TV hasn't been turned on yet. Listening to the rain instead. This coated silence is magical. There should be more nights like this. #
  • Just vanquished an ant farm that had moved indoors into a wooden hobby toolset in my study! My takeaway: spend more time with hobbies. #
  • @9modano Lover's Beach at Cabo? in reply to 9modano #
