The Grim Reaper is just a title. His actual name is Centrum Silver.

Nothing has made me feel my mortality more keenly than buying vitamins yesterday.
Centrum Silver.
If it was just “Centrum for men 50 and older,” I would have been fine.
Goddamn Centrum Silver.
Laugh it up now while you can, but know that Centrum Silver is coming for you too.

If the Latest Facebook Revelations Won’t Get You to Delete It, What Will?
Facebook’s practices are the online equivalent of a home invasion: Zuckerberg rooting around in your underwear drawer for the good stuff.

Of course it’s “not my father’s Republican party.” My Dad’s a Democrat. Who watches Rachel Maddow every night.
(Yes, I have TV on. I know they can’t hear me.)

Donald Trump’s signature reminds me of the Dow.
-
My favorite TV show these days is Leah Remini’s show about Scientology.

I wonder how many more times Facebook will apologize most sincerely for terrible things.

Pretty exciting news for our friends at Black Pixel!
And again I’m reminded of how super-nice they were about NetNewsWire coming back home.

The only notifications I allow on my iPhone are for text messages. It’s nice not to be bugged all the time.

Reminder — no talks at the Xcoders meeting in Seattle tonight. But there’s still a meeting, at the Cyclops in Belltown. Come hang out! I’ll be there.

Part of my maturation process — which I’m undergoing slowly, with great reluctance — is learning to cut down on the number of things I’m willing to fight about.
Trying to pick the ones that really matter is hard.

We just set up @xcoders, for folks in the Seattle and Vancouver, BC areas who go to Xcoders.
It doesn’t have its own domain yet, but it will.

In So Basic It’s Not Even Funny I talk about one of the happiest compliments I’ve ever received.
-
I’m obsessive about turning off notifications on Mac and on iOS. Just about the only thing left is text message notifications. Anything else can wait.

I’ve been deleting accounts. StackOverflow and Quora yesterday.
I had totally forgotten that I had a Quora account until I got the email about it being compromised.

Why write about lunch?
You might wonder why I post what’s for lunch every weekday on the @omni account. Here’s why:
If I get no other public writing done that day, at least I posted something.

It demonstrates the company’s consistency. We post about lunch every work day.
Most importantly, it serves to humanize the company — we eat lunch, just like everybody else. We like food!
And I like that you might picture us in the cafeteria enjoying some conversation and something good to eat. Because that’s how it is. :)

Friday thing! If you know Jake Carter, you know he’s leaving Seattle and moving to California. So there’s a last-day-of-work party at the Art Marble on Westlake, starting at 5 pm.
If you know Jake, you should be there! (I’ll be there!)

Seattle Xcoders unofficial 5th Thursday is tonight at the Water Wheel in Ballard (not Cyclops!) around 7 pm. Be there!
Well, I can’t make it, unfortunately, but everyone else should go!
