New Google Calendar icon most un-Googley. I like it.
GCSE results day? The one time in my life I got impressive exam results. Kids, it’s all downhill from there.
Never before noticed how typographically dismal the Star Wars opening crawl is.
Evening conference call, reheated food, drooping eyelids. It’s not all glamour.
Taking all bets: have I broken my toe or is it just a severe bruise? Pain harsh but inconclusive. [NB: No bets will be honoured.]

Asynchronous communication via medium of spreadsheet. Pointy arrows and everything.
Life is spectacular.

This year’s Design by Fire looks to be a good ‘un: http://www.designbyfire.nl/2010/
Swearing at a Google Docs tooltip that won’t get out of my way. What rank idiocy.
Webinarizing. Yes, you can touch me.
Picking up tickets for No Age at Audio, 4 Oct. Autumn always has the best gigs.
{Please forgive a testosterone-laden football tweet.} GET IN! Bellamy’s coming to Cardiff. Unbelievable. http://bit.ly/c1BNPZ /o\ /o\
I do enjoy the odd day of CSS.
Day off. Long weekend of neglected pleasures: reading, music, MW2, blogging, cooking, cycling, tax paperwork.

Successful client presentation marred only slightly by accidental profanity.
Decision to walk between appointments today rewarded with interesting sights/sounds/smells, sore feet, backache. A net gain.
Spending a day in London. The sun suits it well.
I remember the days when a late night was caused by beer rather than PowerPoint.
