Nerd Note
In the new A-Team movie, there’s a scene in which patients in a psych ward with Murdock watch a movie starring an actor named Reginald Barclay. Dwight Schultz, the original actor who portrayed Murdock in the 80s TV series, also portrayed a character named Reginald Barclay in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
After the Storm
What a great storm we had this evening. Wind, heavy rain, thunder and lightning. I sat on the porch with the kids for a while, talking about how storms form and how to be safe in the event of a tornado. With the storm now to our east, there was just a glimpse of sunset before nightfall. The air is calm and the smell of fresh rain wafts through my office window. Not a bad way to end the day.

So far I’m pretty impressed by the app.

atebits: An Amazing Ride
Once upon a time I wanted a better Twitter app for my iPhone, so I wrote one. My goal was to make something simple, beautiful, and intuitive. It’s been a wild ride since 1.0, and over the last year and a half Tweetie has gone from a no-name app from a little known software company to an app hailed…
Congratulations to Loren on this achievement! I’m looking forward to seeing what Twitter does with his amazing software.
