Ugh, the one day I discuss avalanches here one shows up and kills eight people. NO ONE DISCUSS SNOWCANOS.

#zune “We have identified the issue with the Zune 30 and have a full explanation and guidance located here.” Note they no longer say “fix.”

“By tomorrow … allow the battery to fully run out of power … then simply ensure that your device is recharged, then turn it back on.”

Zune page status update: “Customers using the Zune 30 might experience problems starting their players.” They just reworded it, nothing new.

Another term coined today: snowvalanche! It’s like an avalanche, but with snow. (thanks @__)

The Zune status page updated, but only to add “The Zune Social might be slow or inaccessible.”

Well, now that I actually grew to like Aaron Miles, he goes to the Cubs. Figures.

Vote: A. Zunepocalypse, B1. Zunemageddon / B2. Zuneageddon, C. Zunedemic, D. Zunetastrophe, E. Write-in

Very pleasant and expressive to hear the occasional physical page turn in a symphonic recording. (Quintent in E-Flat Major, ~7m5s)

Managed to stay up late enough to listen to @theroyale on kmox.

Thank you code.flickr for the IE7 ms-interpolation-mode:bicubic; CSS tip! Also to @jasonfried @spolsky for passing it on. Find of the day!

These Beethoven mp3s cost $0.002/minute, though I have some doubt I’ll ever make it through all of them. 6 down, 93 to go!

My news article revenue potential of the App Store, and the success of the iFart app would be headlined “Gas Money.”

Buying 99 Beethoven mp3s for $2, so I know I’ve got all of the good stuff. Might make good background design-by music. tr.im/2qxi

Today is my 17th anniversary of being vegetarian. Or of officially deciding to be one. I really only ate bean burritos in high school anyway

I was the first follower of @woot, but I kind of cheated.

Will Apple make any mention of the Push Notification Service that was due in September and, as far as I can tell, never mentioned again?

Pretty impressive, no automated message at all, just a person. Almost enough to forgive them the rust-powder-covered spyglass I bought.

Ah, I guess they’re joking. Nice one. tr.im/2oug I wonder how much hate mail they get about that.

It scares me that Land of Nod (Crate & Barrel for kids) registered “speak to a human” as a trademark. tr.im/2ouf

just solved the Rubik’s cube for the first time in my life.

It didn’t occur to me how geeky my wishlist was till I got the moon globe, rubiks, microscope, brain book, & stats guide from gf’s family.

Our Christmas fire is 900 degrees. I know this because of my new infrared laser guided thermometer. You need this. Bonus: it’s a cat toy!

Merry Christmas friends, family, stalkers, spammers, and anyone else ‘following’!
