I just downloaded a CSV file of every credit card transaction I made in 2011. Commence data analysis. Top 5 places by number of transactions in 2011: Harris Teeter, The Dog of Nashville, Tenno, Target, and Mapco. New resolution: less hotdogs. Happy to see that the new crowderband album is currently the top album under New Releases on rdio. Sad that it is their last :( Amazon just emailed saying they refunded me $0.49 thanks to their Pre-order Price Guarantee. What should I buy with this new found money? Number of degrees below zero is directly proportional to the number of extra minutes in the shower. And the electric bill amount. I meant degrees below freezing. Not zero. I almost let it slide so that you would think I was cool and thought in Celsius. (Ha... "cool") Trying to figure out how to retweet a paper tweet.1 Wasabi peas serving size: 55 pieces. Challenge accepted. Excited about SinglePlatform menu data for foursquare venues. And available through the foursquareAPI, too!2 With yammer down this morning, I've resorted to shouting across the hall.
I guess there's no mercy rule in Olympic qualifying soccer. USWNT wins 14-0 over the Dominican Republic. Nashville foursquare users: I made a city badge list.3 Follow to increase our chances. More info:4 If you have any suggestions for the list, tell me which I should remove. Limited to 30 venues. Looks like someone already created one an hour ago and already has 36 followers. His name is Jason, too. Should have tweeted this yesterday. If this is a joke, it's brilliant. Construction site sign informs you that its website is under construction.5 Launched a new version of my personal website over the weekend. If you hate images, color, and design, you'll love it.6
An inside look at how VandyFootball landed its best recruiting class in history:7 (by Andy_Staples) DNFJ. (Did not finish joggling - Russian ball sprung a leak; had sand flying in my face for two miles before ditching them) Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Superbowl XXVI. (@ Super Swarm Sunday w/ nate_griffin alisongroves lanceco)8 I can't believe this is still functioning:9 The code still has references to Summize for Twitter search. It's funny because it's true:10 Walked through Vanderblit's campus on the way back from lunch on this bizarre 70° day. So thankful to still be in Nashville after 11 years. Although, after 11 years, I apparently can't spell "Vanderbilt.". Brussels sprouts and salmon. Kings of Leon drummer tweets about joggling. RT doctorfollowill: Just saw a guy juggling whilst jogging. I wonder if it's called joggling? Perfect night to take the back roads home.
Why, hello there, NashvillePollen. RT: Nashville pollen count for Mar 1: MODERATE - 12 grains/cm (Alder, Maple) Who knew wedding planning could be so fun? Just finished writing a web application for guest lists. (By the way, I'm getting married!) I highly recommend constructing a dodecahedron out of paper as a break from work. Taking a break from SEC basketball to read up on the Redskins giving up THREE first round picks for (presumably) RGIII.11 After a game of backyard baseball, a four-year-old asks me if I was wearing cleats. I said no. "Then how do you run so fast?". Booted up a 16 year old computer running Windows 98. Found an old CD I thought I had lost 10 years ago in the drive. Feeling old. Finally! ScrambleWF 2012.12 I have a desk that didn't get picked up by a donation service. What's the best way to get rid of an old desk on short notice (w/o a truck)? Coffee cup type comparison13 If you ever want to get the full alisongroves experience, borrow her Honda Fit and listen to Bon Iver.
Tired and thankful. What to Do When Your World Record Gets Broken (by thejoggler)14 "Wow." - Wesley Korir (weskorir), 2012 Boston Marathon winner. Reducing Twitter noise by unfollowing a few (sorry!), turning off retweets for a few more, and organizing my lists. 99 days until the London Olympics. Also, this:15 (via espn) Coach jamesfranklinvu sighting. (@ Wild Wasabi)16 I should start collecting data on the percentage of people who reciprocate when I say hello while running. Putting together a presentation on Scrabble / WordsWFriends strategy for a lunch talk at work tomorrow. I won't be at the Country Music Marathon this year, but I think there will be (at least) 4 other jogglers there! cmm. Congrats to everyone who ran the CMM! Also, the new interface on the RunRocknRoll website makes it much easier to results stalk :)
I have free Amazon Prime for the next 20 days and $100 in credit from Coinstar. This is either going to be awesome or really, really bad. It's soup making time. I just realized that API can also stand for Asian/Pacific Islander. So I am an API who works with APIs. The bamboo plant I've had on every one of my office desks for the past 6 years has begun dying a slow death. Diet Coda looks pretty sweet, especially with the built in SSH terminal.17 Tweeting multiple times in one day significantly increases the chance of a typo.
