Two hours after arriving in Portland I'm on a bus with taps on the side doing a brewpub crawl. I blame @yaeger pic.twitter.com/dCPHrPi1lD
Hello Portland. My, you're wet.
Turnaround time at La Taqueria was way too long, so it's airport food for lunch. What *will* I do in Portland to make up for this tragedy?
Travel + roaming data pro tip: the latest Google Maps caches for offline use really well. Zoom in on the areas you'll visit ahead of time.
"They make Napoleon-style pizza!" ...so close.
Guerilla-seeded an unused planter in our building tonight with basil seeds. Except we own now so I guess there's nothing guerilla about it.
Paris Hilton is releasing a new album. There has literally never been a better reason for the Death Star to explode your planet.

"It's important to use genuine Microsoft software" the modern.ie image warns me, unconvincingly.
My strategy of drinking beers until the rain let up so I don't have to walk home in it seems to have worked out perfectly.
Rogue barrage of email notifications from @RunKeeper all of a sudden. New one every hour. 18 so far. BRB, creating a filter.
"Signature McWrap"? No one in the focus group actually said that name out loud?
Nice to be home, but I kinda fell for Amsterdam. I think I'll be looking for excuses to get back soon.
Pro: upgraded to Economy+ and got a bulkhead. Con: next to a 1 and 3 year old.
Really enjoyed #mobilism and everyone I met/reconnected with this week in Amsterdam. Thanks @ppk & @krijnhoetmer!
Amsterdam Tues-Fri: charmed the hell outta me. Amsterdam Sat night: omg sink into the North Sea already. (Overall though: *love* this city.)

The whole cats-in-every-public-place-imaginable thing they have going here in Amsterdam is okay by me. pic.twitter.com/QfmpuDnA2o
Gesture + Speech = Magic. Never thought of it that way before, but yes, absolutely! Pure magic. /via @globalmoxie #mobilism
Really like @jcleveley's method for dividing browsers between capable, and not so much. #mobilism pic.twitter.com/2wSogjWiDA
I'm gonna go ahead and blame the sleep deprivation for this last minute addition to tomorrow's talk. pic.twitter.com/dRjYfiiRNf
I counted 7 meals/snacks during my 42hr day yesterday. Think I'll try and get away with 1 1/2 today.
I'm going to chalk this up as light afternoon beer appreciation instead of stupidly-early-after-no-sleep drinking.
Terrible beer options aside, I forget just how damn pleasant the YVR international departures terminal can be. pic.twitter.com/1aeKpij1oJ
Leaving town for a week and I forgot to pack spare jeans. I know what I'll be doing tomorrow in a jet-lagged haze. 24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5odfcV…

Getting closer to a perfect stovetop popcorn recipe: bacon fat, brown sugar, salt, popcorn. That's it.
Used a pressure washer for the first time today. It's like a giant real life version of Photoshop's eraser tool. New favourite chore.
Mentioned by name in a publicly-traded company's financial PR because of a beer I made. Achievement unlocked? pic.twitter.com/37W7zd91No
Unmistakable petrichor in the air all of a sudden.
vertical-align: 1em; <-- I *just now* learned you can actually do that. I KNOW, RIGHT.
What does Github etiquette say about closing issues you've no intention of fixing (or even bothering to explain)? github.com/mezzoblue/cssz…
I mean I know alpha geeks have been doing that shit for ages, but us designers are still stuck on SFTP. Cause it's easier.
Just deployed changes to csszengarden.com with a git pull for the first time ever. Crazy times we're living in.

Usually I'm above it, but just this one time... mezzoblue.com/archives/2013/…
Relaunch a popular site after ten years, have it go down under the load. (Hey there, @mediatemple... if you're not busy...)
I might just have to buy Sublime Text for my home system too, the past few days in Coda have been driving me nuts.
So basically Macromedia has been completely digested (and spit back out). blogs.adobe.com/fireworks/2013…
Made some great progress over the weekend upgrading the Zen Garden. Outstanding issues that could use feedback: github.com/mezzoblue/cssz…
After a particularly tough last 20km on that ride, I just destroyed a @Parallel49Beer Seedspitter and it was the best idea I've ever had.
Stared blankly at some dude across the room for a few minutes, no recognition. Turned out to be my brother. Firing on all cylinders today.
I didn't have much to enter into this year's @VanBrewers awards, nice to discover my blackberry peach saison won a gold medal anyway.
The csszengarden.com HTML now has a repo for suggested improvements. Please use PRs to submit your changes: github.com/mezzoblue/cssz…
The rumours are true: the CSS Zen Garden is getting a CSS3/HTML5 refresh for its 10-year anniversary next week. Details soon.
