Josh’s Lifelog for 2010-07-10

@gnomedex Favorite memories? How about this one, "Think Small" from Gnomedex 6.0? 🙂 http://flic.kr/p/gQwtn in reply to gnomedex #
@gnomedex Or how about "Shoe On Head!" from Gnomedex 7.0: http://flic.kr/p/2CZX7r 🙂 in reply to gnomedex #
I just ousted Shannon S. as the mayor of E-San Thai Cuisine on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/6tSDuc #
@bsneed Bummer we missed you. We were upstairs doing @igniteportland planning stuffs. in reply to bsneed #
I'm at Fred Meyer – TV Highway (6495 SE Tualatin Valley Hwy, SE Century Blvd, Hillsboro). http://4sq.com/4PRMxS #
Ow ow ow! The enamel-painted cart was giving me continuous static electricity shocks to my hands! :-O (@ Fred Meyer – TV Highway) #
Have an iPhone 4? You simply MUST get Incredibooth (from the makers of Hipstamatic). The photo strips and UI are superb. #
@gregjsmith Just use Incredibooth to take lots of funny pictures of yourself. That's what I do. 🙂 in reply to gregjsmith #

Ugh. So hot in my car (dash says outside is 110°F, it exaggerates) my rearview mirror fell off because the glue melted. 🙂 #pdxtst #
@flowersbyfarha Yeesh. I think it was really in the high nineties outside, but it was hot enough to make parts fall off my car! 🙂 in reply to flowersbyfarha #
@jmoriarty I'm definitely a wuss. No way I'd survive a PHX summer. Parts would start falling off of *me*, not just my car! 😉 in reply to jmoriarty #

The myth: you can't fill up a giant inflatable pool on a slightly sloped back yard. Status: Confirmed. 🙁 #
@blath I thought of that, but every start down that path quickly leads to retaining walls, earthmoving, and large scale landscaping. 🙂 in reply to blath #
@Durf that's exactly what we thought when we realized the pool wasn't going to work. 🙂 in reply to Durf #

OH from @jerry_makare: "You Bancrofted the show with your chicken sounds!" 🙂 #
RT @rachelbancroft: There's nothing like a midnight barfing incident to bring me back to parenting reality. #
Having lost 4sq mayorship of my workplace venues while I was out of the country, I'm conceding to @ashokraj and @jexball. Govern well! 🙂 #
I've decided I don't like Apple's iPhone 4 bumper. Too many things don't fit the dock connector with it. Nice buttons, tho. #
Firefox 4 beta 1 is out. Downloading now… http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/beta/ #
Testing Pro HDR for iPhone http://post.ly/m98D #
@Jerry_Makare hope they get some within a week or so. in reply to Jerry_Makare #
@Jerry_Makare @lestew Actually, you can do work email on a 3G pre-OS4, but not at the same time as Google push email/calendars. in reply to Jerry_Makare #
Ah, the great American summer pastime of waiting for the inflatable back yard pool to fill up. 🙂 #

Dear Illegal Fireworks Using Neighbors: Please to be coming and cleaning up the shell debris from my car, yard, roof, and driveway. 😛 #
@marshallk yay! Congrats on the first egg. 🙂 in reply to marshallk #
@penmachine please share if you find any good iPad text/HTML editor recommendations. I could use one, too. in reply to penmachine #
In Salem picking up the kids from grandparents. @rachelbancroft is more excited than she was at any point in Germany. 🙂 #
Got my iPhone 4 Dock and Bumper (black). Both are quite nice, but of course, don't work with each other (which I knew). 🙂 #
@drjonboyg Reeder crashing is a common bug with iOS 4. Delete and reinstall Reeder, that should fix it. in reply to drjonboyg #
@drjonboyg oops. I may have misremembered it being an iOS 4 issue, rather than latest @Reederapp. Delete/reinstall fixed it for me. in reply to drjonboyg #

We're home! We missed you, Portland! 🙂 (@ Portland International Airport (PDX) ? w/ @garryweil) http://4sq.com/uk5A5 #
Never thought I'd say this, but dang it feels good to be back in the land of AT&T 3G (we were metered in Germany, and wifi was scarce). 🙂 #
Celebrating July 4 sleeping off jet lag with @rachelbancroft. Exercising our freedom to rest after international travels. 🙂 #

Embarking on a bus tour of Munich, stopping at Schloss Nymphenburg. #
Our bus tour was just interrupted by a parade of about 100 quad ATVs and strange low slung Harley trikes. A bit surreal. 🙂 #
At Schloss (Palace) Nymphenburg. It's ENORMOUS. Hundreds of rooms, who knows how many square miles of land. Wow. #
There are thousands of people (and vuvuzelas) streaming to the stadium at Olympiapark to watch the Germany/Argentina game. #
At the BMW Museum. It's rapture for a car geek like me. Favorites include the M8 Concept, 2002Ti, Isetta, Z1, Z8, and the M Power room. 🙂 #
It's surreal how many people in the city are watching the game. Trains were deserted. You can hear the cheering from every window. 🙂 #
Here was the scene outside Munich Olympiapark, with thousands pouring into the stadium to watch the game *on TV*: http://gdzl.la/8fnLPe #
In our hotel resting before dinner, don't even need a TV to follow the game. Munich roars. 🙂 #
The streets of Munich are full of hork honking, flag waving, screaming Germans. It's glorious chaos. 🙂 #
Aufwiedersehen München! Wir lieben dich! 🙂 (@ Flughafen München (MUC) – Terminal 1) http://4sq.com/9iky85 #

Many productive meetings and trainings here at Intel Munich. And I mets lots of smart, cool people – always the beat part of a trip. 🙂 #
Hi from Munich! Love, @jabancroft and @rachelbancroft. http://gdzl.la/8f8Wg6 #
Saw my first iPhone 4 in the wild: on the S-Bahn platform at Rosenheimerplatz in Munich. #
Also: two separate people came up to me on public yesterday and asked "ist es der Vier (4)"? 🙂 #
@gregjsmith yes, I have it set to geotag my tweets. in reply to gregjsmith #
Jet lag is a harsh mistress… 🙂 #

Posting from BMW Welt (World). Yes, it's like heaven for car geeks. 🙂 http://gdzl.la/8eU91Z #
Another day of delivering Cluetrain cargo at Intel Munich. Hope they're ready to receive! 🙂 http://gdzl.la/8f5gaD #
