2010-04-08 @dr_agonfly Don’t know where you’re going, but going on the pike into Boston requires leaving before 6 or after 8:30, in my experience.
2010-04-03 @AndersJSchoubye It’s being delivered to my office at MIT, which means it won’t be in my hands until Monday or Tuesday. :(
2010-04-03 The first ones against the wall when the revolution comes will be … the cable companies. #charter
2010-04-03 #charter cable has the worst customer service on the planet. Very frustrating morning with them.
2010-04-02 @schar So, don’t buy a modern car when you’re in the market for one, gotta be a vw from the 60s. Really, don’t buy any modern appliance.
2010-03-31 @mitchoyoshitaka You’re welcome, mitcho. It was a no fun morning for me stuck in traffic. Glad it made your day better.
2010-03-30 @schar command-tilde
2010-03-25 Following the LSA on twitter now: @LingSocAm
2010-03-23 @schar Maybe, we can take you instead if NYU kicked you out.
2010-03-19 @natecha indeed
2010-03-06 @mitchoyoshitaka Great pix, mitcho. Wish I could have been there.
2010-03-04 @planetg33k You are really … really wrong. The man is a great singer.
2010-03-02 @natecha @AndersJSchoubye: You have valid reasons for cramped abstracts but stressed reviewers slogging through many abstracts will balk.
2010-03-02 @natecha When I’m annoyed, I let it out on the people who annoyed me, automatically, whether consciously or not. Be nice to reviewers!
2010-03-01 @natecha and @AndersJSchoubye: abstracts that cram a lot into a small space automatically get low ratings from me. Be nice to reviewers!
2010-02-15 @bweatherson Mostly I just scrub the meta-data and make pdfs out of docs. Many use non-plain text because they need symbols.
2010-02-15 @bweatherson Yup, as editor, I strongly prefer plain text reviews. Too many reviewers leave their name in the meta-data of a pdf/doc review.
2010-02-13 @bweatherson \thanks goes inside one of the title elements, usually like this: \title{Epistemic Modals in Context\thanks{Thanks …}}
2010-02-12 Happy Truck Day! http://bit.ly/dwlCp2
2010-02-10 @AndersJSchoubye Yeah, that’s CM. Just the way that the publisher wanted the submission. I never bothered to prettify it.
2010-02-09 Very useful OS X tip: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2010020609020410
2010-02-09 RT @daringfireball: BashFlash: http://✪df.ws/el1. Looks good as a complement to Click-to-Flash. Keeping browsing sane.

2010-02-02 inbox zero, after six weeks of pile-up while nursing my bad back; the semester can begin
2010-02-02 @AndersJSchoubye Congrats. Big Day!
2010-02-02 @AndersJSchoubye Also, you should display full first names in the bibliography.
2010-02-02 @AndersJSchoubye Pretty nice. A matter of taste, I guess. I dislike the long lines (too hard to keep track of; there’s research on this).
2010-02-01 @AndersJSchoubye Irene’s dissertation is not out of print in the only sense that matters: it is openly accessible at http://bit.ly/9OI4sq.
2010-02-01 @AndersJSchoubye now why would you mess with perfection (sp.cls)?
2010-01-28 @RiverGirlCancun Emma really wants one. Maybe we’ll get one for the house and go from there. I drank the Apple Koolaid a long time ago btw.
2010-01-28 RT @carr2n: #iPad as a leisure device. Can be wired and enjoying content, but not working. No multi-tasking, no typing. Sounds like bliss
2010-01-28 @RiverGirlCancun I’m doing fine without Crash/Flash or multi-tasking on my iphone. The form factor is ideal for sofa, bed, train, bathroom.
2010-01-28 “the iPhone is a shrunken stripped-down version of the iPad. The iPad is what they’ve been building toward all along” (http://bit.ly/cI3NWg)
2010-01-28 “if you use it for just a few minutes, it becomes obvious that the iPad is not a big stretched-out iPhone” (http://bit.ly/cI3NWg)
2010-01-27 @schar it’s the one Stallman uses: http://richard.stallman.usesthis.com/
2010-01-27 @schar time for you to hole up with a little Lemote Yeelong and write anti-government screeds in LaTeX while the rest of us enjoy our iPads?
2010-01-27 $499 for a cool gadget. That’s a sweet price point. #iPad
2010-01-27 I think Steve Jobs just killed the internet or at least Twitter.
2010-01-27 Trying Rocketbox (http://www.getrocketbox.com), search plugin for Mail.app, slick, needs documentation, hope it gets MailTags integration.
2010-01-27 @dr_agonfly Me too. Refreshing http://bit.ly/ddIL3w doesn’t seem to make it happen faster.
2010-01-24 @planetg33k Yup, when we were in Canada we got both iPhones and E’s touch on the web for free by sharing the hotel ethernet via my MacBook.
2010-01-19 @natecha you can always rely on the People’s Republics of Amherst and Cambridge. The rest of the state … not so much.
2010-01-10 @jrosevear Truck day: Friday Feb 12. Pitchers and catchers report Thursday, Feb. 18.
2010-01-10 Oh well.
2010-01-02 Happy 01022010!
2009-12-17 @socialiteapp Update fail: http://drp.ly/3OR1k.
2009-12-15 @bweatherson I haven’t used dropbox. Droplr seems OK as a quick sharing service for ephemeral things. And what’s a PC?
2009-12-15 I just started using Droplr, the coolest new app for Mac. Check it out at http://droplr.com
2009-12-14 @kvaschik Not 16? I didn’t know.
2009-12-03 Switched from OpenDNS to Google Public DNS, http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html, can’t tell whether it’s faster.
2009-12-01 @kvaschik Oh fuck. How did that happen?
2009-11-29 @AndersJSchoubye Yes, we all know who’s got the best game. Xavi, Iniesta, Messi.
2009-11-26 Doing the last bits of cooking in our newly upgraded kitchen. Braising fennel, shallots, and chestnuts. Friends arriving soon. Happy day.
2009-11-22 @planetg33k Not just Bose, I have computer speakers in both my offices that make annoying sounds with a cellphone nearby, almost unusable.
2009-11-20 @lancearmstrong Amen!
2009-11-15 “@fintelkai on Schlenker’s donkeys. Good joke about Polly. http://twitpic.com/pnpx2” -@schar: which one?
2009-11-11 @schar I meant not much on Friday. Not at all tomorrow since it won’t have started yet.
2009-11-11 @schar Yes, Simon, I’ll be at NELS. Not much tomorrow because of Dean-ly meetings, but pretty much throughout Saturday and Sunday (pronouns)
2009-11-11 A second day home with a sick boy (and at least a headache myself). Oh joy.
2009-11-10 @AndersJSchoubye One place is her “Many Quantifiers”. The basic idea goes back at least to Milsark.
2009-11-08 @AndersJSchoubye Veltman is on his way via email.
2009-11-08 Enjoying my new Magic Mouse. Shiny, smooth. But I agree with Brad Choate on what should be next: http://tinyurl.com/ykpwq39.
2009-11-07 @dr_agonfly: Got it; even though you got my handle wrong.
2009-10-24 @paulhagstrom I don’t know of a solution on the iPhone but Launchbar keeps a clipboard history (20 items?) on OS X.
2009-10-11 Oh, well, there’s always next year.
2009-10-09 @natecha it’s just lecture notes so don’t take too seriously. We hope that an IaD paper will grow out of it eventually. Comments welcome.
2009-10-09 @natecha Always liked Ben’s paper (was a part-time adviser on it), but now know that the story on IaDs is wrong: http://tinyurl.com/yzuxemr
2009-10-08 @natecha well done indeed but wrong
2009-10-05 @jessegrosjean The link to the new dmg of QuickCursor results in an “Access Denied” message from amazon together with lots of numbers.
2009-10-04 @planetg33k except for the free wifi. Not much of that in the 70s.
2009-09-16 Just got the US edition of Aifric Campbell’s “The Semantics of Murder”. First time I’m in the acknowledgments of a novel.
2009-09-14 Going to teach something I don’t quite understand. In many ways, the best kind of teaching. But also nerve-wracking.
2009-09-13 Made a lavish brunch for 30+ of my cohousing neighbors. How is your morning?
2009-09-11 @planetg33k Check out Mail Act-On and MailTags: http://indev.ca. I use them and Nostalgy4Mail seems to do just a subset of what they do.
2009-09-10 @rezzz There’s already a Mail Act-On update that fixes the problem with 10.6.1: http://bit.ly/MEXOI
2009-09-10 As Tommy Lee Jones said in Men in Black: ‘Great, now I’ve got to buy the White Album again’. This week’s indulgence: The Beatles Box Set.
2009-09-10 Day of working from home starts with taking daughter to PT for her wrist tendonitis; that poor girl hasn’t been injury free for a year.
2009-09-09 First meeting of our seminar. Just waiting for the green tea to steep before walking over. Gotta be caffeinated to teach.
2009-09-09 Happy 09/09/09 everybody!
2009-09-03 “CIA Leaks” (written with Thony Gillies) was just declared by Philosopher’s Annual to be one of the ten best articles in philosophy in 2008.

2009-08-30 Going to see Julie & Julia with San while the kids are out back-to-school shopping with the grandparents.
2009-08-30 8 Miles at 11:03. Training for the half on 10/11 is still on track. Knock on HardiePlank.
2009-08-27 7 mile speed workout: 3 fast (for me, not you Jason), 4 slow (even for me) for warm-up, in-between jogging intervals, and cool down.
2009-08-25 2 fast miles (well, fast for me) at the track; sports drink du jour: Otter Creek Copper Ale (a passable approximation to Altbier) in hammock
2009-08-24 @dr_agonfly May the force be with you.
2009-08-23 Getting older? Dreamed about losing most of my hair. Back spasms halfway through my 7 mile training run this morning.
2009-08-22 First run with Emma since her stress fracture, at the Hudson high school track, talking about doing a 5K together later this year (Nov?).
2009-08-21 The cats just caught a mouse in the house. I guess that’s country living.
2009-08-20 first day back on campus in a long time means lunch from @cloverfoodtruck: chickpea fritter sandwich and rosemary french fries … yum!
2009-08-19 is not enjoying having to work in Word for Dean-ish writing projects (collaborating with admin people who would faint if I mentioned LaTeX).
2009-08-18 The “No Wii Games Today” verdict seems a bit tough on the boys, but them getting the living room all sweaty in this heat is not OK with me.
2009-08-18 has to roust his son from bed so that he can go get his annual check-up.
2009-08-16 9.58 against a headwind
2009-08-16 Trying out our new Wii Sports Resort with Wii MotionPlus. Our living room is getting sweaty.
2009-08-14 Thanks to structured procrastination (TM - John Perry), I actually got some stuff done today.
2009-08-13 Early run in the Berkeley hills, now one last breakfast of huevos con chorizo at Cafe Med, then it’s time to leave, coming home on JetBlue.
2009-08-12 Going to a Japanese fusion restaurant for last dinner in CA and then bowing out while others go see Julie and Julia (I plan to go with San).
2009-08-12 It already appears to be time to plan this fall’s seminar. Yikes.

2009-07-28 @RiverGirlCancun Driver’s permit at 15 !?! They shouldn’t allow kids to drive until they’re 25.
2009-07-24 @dr_agonfly : keeping my fingers crossed on the job front for you
2009-07-23 @seesmic: installing 0.4.1, i get: “The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged.” i downloaded again: same thing
2009-07-21 is cold looking at the rain outside but ruled out putting some rum in this afternoon’s cup of green tea
2009-07-21 @RiverGirlCancun Yes #TdF was fun today. Many more climbs tomorrow.
2009-07-21 up early, TdF on in the background, preparing lectures on modality for the LSA institute in Berkeley

2009-07-20 my keyboard is not producing i’s and k’s. How did i write this? Copy and paste from other texts. Not a long term solution!
2009-07-20 Last week at home before P joins E at sleep-away camp and I go to Berkeley to teach modality with Sabine at the LSA Institute.
