Another day in the life of Kevin Makice …

09:55 Matilda just climbed her first step. (And that Cheerio is hers!)

10:43 The @wiredGeekDad group is trying to raise $15K for Haiti Relief (Ooh, and there are prizes!) www.firstgiving.com/haitigeekdad

14:05 Did @estolter delete his twitter account? Again?

14:51 Situation: @cmakice wants to be a drummer, but can’t arrange lessons if his parents’ heads explode.

17:32 INFO 107 is an oven. I’m baked, but not in the fun way.

18:54 Performed my teaching and CHI duties. Ready for some basketball.

00:09 Burn Notice is back, and all is right with the world.

12:28 Fightin’ words thrown down by @cmbeck_, and UX debate ensues. bit.ly/6vuSKc

12:45 @sports20 Tune into 90.7 FM while you are in the Crescent City.

15:04 @bcogswell By that logic, all NFL players should be jailed for animal abuse. I heard about this QB who was into dog fighting.

17:17 Solid day advancing and/or planning my Big Three projects.

20:55 David R. Grubb (sp?) is speaking while wearing a Santa hat & face paint. /via @govtracker <– Thanks, social media!

21:08 @govtracker With something as special as a Grubb/Rivera double-feature, you should consider beta.twiddeo.com/

00:10 Impressed with the work @jingman has done on our project. Prepping for a great extended user study.

01:29 Newfound respect for people like @gopsig and @govtracker, who are still cooking politics after nearly 6 hours.

02:38 pixSmix user study instructions … away!

04:19 Enjoying early feedback. Forcing myself to sleep for a while.

07:53 @delyea Damn Cutler got caught in a 50-yard dropback. I optimistically blame the wiimote batteries.

09:35 @jbhertel Audubon Zoo, Louisiana Pizza Kitchen, Warehouse District, tune into 90.7 WWOZ, & if someone asks, you got your shoes on your feet.

09:39 WonderLab celebrates Mae Jemison, Neil DeGrasse Tyson and other scientists for MLK Day. tinyurl.com/y8bphjt /via @VisitBtown

12:05 Walking the kids across the street to play in the field. Something about helicopters.

12:39 @cmbeck_ …and yet, only 3 playoff teams in 43 years of Super Bowls have made the big game after losing their final 2 regular season games.

13:01 Community trash picking upping about to commence. Happy MLK Day.

23:45 Composing user study invitations.

Another day in the life of Kevin Makice …

10:36 Being creative with reluctant boys this morning.

11:36 A new era of procrastination has begun: I just bought Madden for the Wii.

16:08 Late Christmas with @rjisb

19:11 OH: "I put on a red shirt. I hope that means IU will win, and not that I’ll be killed."

23:47 Playing Madden, alone at night. Just added another year to my dissertation.

01:28 The catharsis of a 107-2 Bears win over the Colts would have come in handy a couple years back. Goodnight, Madden.

08:46 Sleep just makes me tired.

08:52 @cmbeck_ By the time we got to kid three, child proofing wasn’t quite as, um, rigorous as with the previous two.

09:10 This has been my morning in this new Age of Crawling. bit.ly/8m7YfJ

09:14 @jbhertel You should have named one kitty Ruby and one Scala, so you could spend your evenings debating which one’s better.

15:15 I hope this Colts team is truly special.

23:27 Good win, Colts. Feel bad for Baltimore’s Ray Rice.

01:46 Going to sleep feeling somewhat organized.

12:56 Calling as GeekDad to interview the CMU team developing a D&D game for Microsoft Surface, for a follow-up post.

09:59 Sketching.

10:29 Have to spend some time on @informatics planning today. The R-House opens tomorrow.

10:39 @allisoncooke "R-House" = new robotics lab. It’s ETHOS for robots.

13:56 @jingman I’m penciling in for you being sick on February 15. Will that work for you?

15:02 @jingman Didn’t want to be cruel to your honey. Sickness can wait until the 15th.

15:50 Off to I561 lab. I hope I think of stuff to say.

18:42 My wife just baby-dialed me.

23:40 W00t! @techlunch will be Fridays at noon. I should now be in a position to make a few.

00:14 Brain not making words rightly. Cmd-Opt-Eject.

08:05 WhatIfSports predicts a 23-22 Ravens win over the Colts (58.2%). bit.ly/6x0ucp

08:37 I burned the cereal.

08:47 @drewmckinney Just an expression for "I should go back to bed and try again."

12:16 Tough decision, but I’m opting out of CHI workshops this year.

15:33 Planning research strategy with the @socialens group

17:21 Dynamite input from @kaplusa on our pixSmix project.

00:17 Preparing I561 submissions for tomorrow’s lab.

01:25 @MoizSyed Amen to that. I think design is more pervasive than programming, though, so there are more opportunities to exercise.

03:38 The shape of things to come is likely a rhombus.

17:38 Design is fun.

17:54 @cmbeck_ We had to make our computers by hand, out of mud and sticks. And OnCourse was an old lady with a steno pad. /cc @briandils @streefy

23:29 @hoosiergrl11 Congratulations!

23:56 @ehavir Thanks for taking the time. It looks like I may angle two posts out of our @mssurface conversation.

01:49 I561 processed. On to my extended abstract for some microblogging research.
