Love TripIt! So much so I am about to cough up for the Pro version.

I am tempted to snap this stupid Samsung S4 in half right now. JUST. RUN. THE. DAMN. CODE! I regret buying this phone on so many levels. It is a perfect lesson of “falling in lust, but never in love” with a product or service.

Start. Right. Now.

If you believe it is hard raising a child, try raising a seed round sometime.

adb logcat -> cannot connect. adb shell -> cannot connect. adb kill-server. adb start-server -> cannot connect. adb works better when I plug the phone in.

Is Trello down? Maybe it is just me. Because Trello (an essential daily tool for me) is offline (for me) I am uncertain of what to work on. Update: It was the internet provider.

Entrepreneur: “I was super friendly with Steve Jobs when he was alive.” Me: “Funny, he never mentioned you to me.” Total silence.

Xcode update. Frak. Just want to work. So many lost hours of productivity taken by a helpful developer 500 miles away and four weeks ago.

I will stand on the sidelines and cheer you on if you are trying. I will boo you mercilessly if you sit around and moan.

Way too many negative people at last night’s networking mixer.

“We don’t pay for design. Just code.” Hahahaha! Too funny.

Heading to the loft in SF for a day. Want to grab coffee?

Crap! Sat in the coffee shop with dead mouse batteries. Too warm and comfy to want to go buy some. So much of our human comfort now rests on little packets of energy demarked by a copper top or a frenetic bunny.

Just threw out four boxes of obsolete computer cables. I kept them because “I might need them.” Which was a tacit lie. So I rationalised it as “I keep them, because when I really need that particular cable, I don’t want to have to spend two or three hours going to Fry’s Electronics to pick…

“Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic.” You think I am acting!? Where does the act (fake it) stop and the real (make it) begin?

Sat in an SF coffee shop hacking out some Objective-C And you realise… Objective-C : The one point in time where Apple went ugly, early.
