Some nice thoughtful improvements in iTunes 10: http://twitpic.com/2kkhy1 and http://flic.kr/p/8xpuPt

I just sprayed my hamper with air freshener.

What?

I had to do *something* about that odor!

My workout this morning consists of a single routine: frenzied cleaning & straightening because Elina’s coming home after a few days away!

The UI of the new Twitter iPad app is thoughtful, fascinating, and impressive. Well done @atebits!

Just discovered the Baltimore Grand Prix: http://baltimoregrandprix.com — they just added an ALMS race to the 2011 schedule.

It’s another hot, muggy, noisy, smelly day on 100th street.

I am unreasonably cranky this morning.

Gmail’s new “Priority Inbox” feature must be using Bayesian classification, right?

I’d love for someone at Google to share how it works.

Gmail is finally getting smart! I’ve been impatiently awaiting this for years. I was just thinking about it last night! http://j.mp/bq3U7x

The computer-generated voice announcements at Penn Station in Baltimore are alien and creepy. Mis-applied technology. Bad move, Amtrak.

Ahhhhhh! Everything is breaking this week!!

Apple’s arbitrary enforcement of their app store policies can cause a tragic and infuriating waste of creative effort. http://bit.ly/9dyth5

I hate conference calls.

Today’s my dad’s yahrtzeit. I miss him.

Have I ever mentioned that I hate Maven?

Readme Driven Development — fantastic essay by Tom Preston Werner. I love it! http://bit.ly/9Ho6VW /via @rtomayko and @simonw

We picked up Elina’s new new bike and promptly rode a few miles through a torrential rainstorm. Refreshing!

Hating PHP right now — and myself for choosing it for the wrong job.

Eating an interesting and really good soup with tomatoes, white beans, scallions, parsley, and brisket from Wolf & Lamb. They’re on a roll!

Mad Men is so good.

Great @kehilathadar discussion/study session on charity this morning, thanks Adina, Eli, @chschwartz, Elina and everyone there!

Kinda meh visit to the Met.

Next time: make snap judgements on exhibits; if not immediately great, move on.

It’s like walking through soup. Sweat soup.

I love the rumor about a 7″ iPad. That’ll be a great form factor, hit the sweet spot.

Have a nice day!
