Graduation was great. I wish they would play Pomp and Circumstance! It is a tradition like these silly caps! I like traditions.

Exactly one year ago today I made an ass of myself in Minneapolis. It still makes me feel bad.
@samalolo yes indeed. We rushed to make sure that 30 or so copies will be printed and available just in time for #googleio :)

I just completed my final final review of the AppEngine book. It starts printing next week and in bookstores near the end of May.

I am liking the Mneme feature "grade one question". I will borrow this idea when I write my CloudSocial Assignments tool for Jeff Elkner.
Which is my next "top priority" after this book is done today (a) write another book or (b) write software like a fiend.
Taking Brent to a bar in Farmimgton MI to meet a band. He is driving on I-96 by Novi.

Hanging out at @B414 - the band just was just stupid - kicking their drums, etc - just plain dumb - maybe the next band will be better.

Power is restored - blog post and pictures of the Etudes Summit is up - http://www.dr-chuck.com/csev-blog/000618.html
Power went out due to a storm in the middle of typing a blog post about Etudes!

About to leave LA on the red eye back to Mich after a great Etudes User Summit. Glenn is here too. Night all.
@botimer I got the steak... Like usual. Glenn had the chicken.

@joerussbowman let's do email. I want a method to delete a key and not throw an exception if the key is of there. A convirlenence method.
@joerussbowman Joe those chapters will be In bookstores in 4 weeks as an O Reilly book. It would be nice to add a delete() method to gaeu
@garay thanks for the invite.
On the way to Encounters Restaraunt at LaX with Glenn and Vivie.
SI502 exam has kicked off just fine - folks need to be done *before* Friday midnight.

Keynote speech was OK - My Mac rebooted because I plugged an audio jack into the USB port.
At LAX. Sat next to Glenn G on flight. I asked him to write iPhone app for CloudSocial. He said maybe.

@mrgarin Go to www.cloudsocial.org and join the mailing list - we now have simple documentation and have a few customers for CloudSocial.

The band keeps trying to get Brent up on stage @B414 to sing - but he seems not ready yet.
I am back for a second night @B414 - wrote a blog post about it http://tinyurl.com/c9trsk - next write exams.
Brent is head banging in a mosh pit to thrash metal with crutches. When he gets knocked down the other head bangers just pick him up.

At basement 414 hard core rock. The band is setting up.

On the way to off Ashley's car. New bearings sound good.

@zaren Facebook. Several said "what's twitter". These are top academic HS seniors Michigan is recruiting. Half plan to be engineers.

@madstuart They said MySpace is "urban decay" and maybe OK for Middle School. FaceBook is for High School - Twitter is old people > 20.
At Amazin Blue with high school seniors. No one at my table uses Twitter. They say twitter is for old people.
Switched www.appenginelearn.com to be hosted on AppEngine - It was tacky having it AE-Learn in PHP - and AE now is > 1MB files - yay!
