Hi there, I’m Brian McKinney

Developer, designer, musician, recording engineer. In other words, I like to make things

Talking to a brick wall. Watching paint peel. Cleaning my shower.

I saw Tree of Life last night. Some things that I'd have more fun doing in that 2.5 hours if I had it back:

In the waiting area at my eye doctor's office. Just noticed that older people still read the magazines, everyone else is on their phones.

Sometimes I miss my old Nokia phone. Texting was on a numerical keyboard and the only game was Snake.

Finally getting around to installing Snow Leopard on my system. Hoping this takes care of some wierd pip behavior. Don't ask.

Pro Tools update = 2 gigabytes. Fantastic.

What shall I do after being at work until 8:30? If you answered port a single-db django project over to start using multi-db, you were right

@thisphrase Look, it's not you. It's the burger. It's changed. Things just aren't the same any more. Just smile about the good times.

@faustman Yeah, I figured, but it showed me that duplicate error the first time I submitted my comment...

@faustman Nevermind, guess it got on there after all, it was just delayed or something. Weird.

@faustman You might want to fix the comments on that blog, it keeps telling me I am posting a duplicate comment...

Holy fuck! They're from Hutch. They're talking abou Anchor Inn and Ken's Pizza. Fucking figures.

If I ever become as boring as any of the people sitting at the table next to me right now, God please strike me dead.

Hey @cnn, could you add a bit more animation to the 'This weekend' section pls? I'm not getting enough.

What the hell is CNN.com doing with this 'This weekend' crap?

Just started trying out @spotify. Very, very impressed so far.

Hey Flash, death to thee.

Forwarding from @bl: : 17 days. 10+ million users. It's just the beginning.

Also, their native player seems to have way fewer bugs and annoyances.

I am strongly considering switching away from @rdio in favor of @spotify. Spotify has a better selection and artists I can't find on Rdio.

For instance, @glenstansberry "Good job, I see you added Toto IV to your collection...wait...is that OK Go in there? Nevermind. Lame."

I really wish you could comment on someone's activity in @rdio. That would be pretty fun actually.

@faustman I don't use Sass. It doesn't offer me any compelling reasons to add a preprocessor to my workflow.

@Takeover_Tuggle Bummer. They're going to feel pretty silly though once you're out there killing it on the field this season.

Forwarding from @mintchaos: : Paul Ford is amazing. <3[1]

Crazy how a company so famous for design can have such a substandard user experience.

Just realized Apple's web site is looking worse and worse these days. Particularly their iPhone 4 pages: [1]
