Hi there, I’m Brian McKinney

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

If so, that's incredibly thoughtful.

The city trash people always leave my barrel handle facing the house. I wonder if it's because I always leave it facing towards the street?

The best part about today was ending it by playing Rainbow Connection for the first time in like a year. Love that song.

Facebook is quickly becoming Google's mini me. Places? Deals? Comments? Ripping off other quality web apps and re-building them is dumb.

@DScottFritchen You've got all seeds in the four. You know that In 2008, the FF was comprised of all No. 1 seeds for the first time ever?

This lovely spring weather calls for one band and one band only: America.

I just solved a problem that's consumed me for the last 3 weeks. I'm now listening to We are the Champions on repeat.

Forwarding from @jimrome: : Yes I have Kansas St. in my Final 4. I love Frank Martin. & I'm terrified of Frank Martin. They win, I'm brilliant. They lo ...

@brittdetienne Yeah, should be an interesting game actually. U-State 30-3, 4/5 starters are seniors, WAC champs. Dreaded 5-12 matchup.

Ok, the @djangopony has been kidnapped. Last seen at Pycon. Time to make some heads roll.

@jcroft Also, with the referrer kick back you're getting it kinda is spam...:D

@jcroft I don't know if it was simply because it was about money. It was also phrased very spam-like.

I miss Ford Escorts. Haven't seen a one on the road in a long time. I wonder why?

Also, I don't know how many times these last couple of weeks that I've had the urge to throw my phone against the wall as hard as possible.

Re-writing the same code for the sixth. fucking. time. Unrelated: does vodka mix with Sunkist Orange soda well?

KU getting caught looking ahead to that potential matchup with Kstate tomorrow.

I need a fucking break.

In honor of their 40th anniversary, @starbucks has redesigned their website to look like complete shit. Complete with Trebuchet type.

If Notorious B.I.G. had been born 10 years later, he'd totally be a way pimpish web developer at a Y-combinator funded startup.

Also, most underrated Monkees song ever: Porpoise Song. Absolutely no contest. Written by Carol King. Of course.

And if you are about to say "Chill and listen to Daydream Believer" you are correct.

Fuck! One song from The Monkees' Greatest Hits is not available on Rdio and it's I'm a Believer!?!? What the hell am I supposed to do now?

Want. So. Bad. [1]

Blown away by Maia Hirasawa's Though, I'm Just me. Really, really good. [1]

I was eating my canned Wolfgang Puck soup tonight and I thought to myself "Brian, you've really made it."
