Yesterday

11:05pm Delicious dinner at Commerce with @jenweinberg @emkehm and @mrw. Had the Lola duck for two with @mrw. And Meg Ryan was there.

6:44pm @marktheunissen flying tomorrow or Saturday? Should have passed on Saturday.

5:49pm @JFrenchTweet finally got it. Thanks be to Google.

3:48pm From @emkehm's description of teacher certification in NY, seems the best preparation is to have beaten Myst as a kid.

12:12pm Having a bad day. Too much to do, things are breaking. And still no priority inbox.

Wednesday, September 1st

1:41pm The ConsumerSearch dev team decided to postpone the weekly meeting so they could watch the Apple feed.

4:27pm The theme of the email marketing I've received today? Summer is over. NO, SUMMER IS NOT OVER.

12:37pm @kleinmatic I'm also waiting/disappointed. I joined Gmail in 2004, and have been evangelizing since. I NEED THIS. NOW.

7:10pm Very cool bar, I mean. Now closed.

6:42pm At a very bar in Norrkoping. I think this is a college town?

5:45pm Drove from Stockholm to Norrkoping in the rain after a nice dinner. Feels like October.

1:24pm RT @xmatt: Last night, @marktheunissen incorrectly identified "Bad Romance" as "some local Swedish song." Rå rå, åh åh åh.

1:23pm 1mb of intl data costs me $1. Costs @marktheunissen £1. I hate telecoms, why can't we just have wifi everywhere?

7:15pm Stockholm seems over at 1:15am. I could practically fly back to NYC for last call.

6:36pm Now people seem to be doing coke here? Sweden is weird!

6:26pm @heyrocker great. Funny though. Swedes singing to Green Day, then Kanye West.

5:59pm Akon on the jukebox, popped collars... Stockholm is a bit behind. Also, Brits on holiday are gross.

1:50pm Excellent day driving from Almhult to Stockholm, Sweden is awesome.

2:11am @glichfield we had to walk through a maze past every other room, the pool, and the cafe to get to ours. Cheap beer though!

5:51pm Staying at the Ikea hotel is like staying at Ikea itself. Very weird.

6:52am @briantully actually, this: http://bit.ly/97chmK

6:31am @briantully you'd probably have to define your own form element.

6:19am @briantully I can't ever sleep after an all-night code bender... mind spinning, sun comes out, slightly ill feeling...

6:10am #dckeynote Wired says "The web is dead, long live the internet." How does HTML5 help developers conquer device drift? http://bit.ly/cah7OV

5:52am #dckeynote if you're happy enforcing Flash > 9, you only need 2 formats: H264 mp4 and Vorbis/Theora. WebM would be a nice 3rd.

5:51am #dckeynote that comment was wrong; mp4 has to be first because of an Apple bug that impacts iPad. Firefox takes OGV anywhere.

4:03pm Relocated from Foobar to BrewPub, much nicer, quieter.

11:43am It's kind of disorienting to get my typical Monday morning e-newsletters, etc., at 5:40pm.

8:31pm Awesome day one in CPH. I think this is one jet lag battle I might win.

Saturday, August 21st

5:10pm EWR to CPH after a hectic day. @robpurdie is on my flight!
