Who else is using Uber? I love it to pieces. No more taxis for me, hopefully.

I love Uber, and now that they have taxis in their umbrella (in SF, at least), I don't use any other service. And I've learned awesome things from pretty much every driver I've had.

Hot chocolate is now in the past. Delicious and decadent. I may not need dinner. Which would be fine, more soup for lunches.

Beware the meowmeowbeenz.

Uber isn't out here where I am, yet. Might be worth looking into for the other end of train rides, though.

I've never heard of Uber.

I was just reading about the CEO of Mozilla on Twitter, though, including the statement from OKCupid. Good for them.

The only reason I haven't tried fitbit is the last pedometer I bought didn't work because I'm apparently too fat for it work when clipped to my hip, and it wouldn't work anywhere else. But if it works when tucked into my bra, I might give it another try.

Did you try your shoe? That works for me for the cheaper ones, but I can't really use the more expensive pedometers

I've been avoiding news about the CEO of Mozilla because quitting using Firefox would be a PITA. Too many open tabs.

Zen, did you get your Chromebook? Am I remembering right that you ordered one off that same deal tommyrot linked to?

I maintain you can do it nicely, and just had a great conversation with a driver from Cote D'Ivoire by just starting out with "I don't recognise your accent--where's it from?"

Not about cab drivers, but I just found out background information about two coworkers in the last two workdays in ways that seemed OK. One, I asked her about how people mess up her name, and the other I asked where she grew up, because it was relevant to a vaccination question we were discussing. It turned out to be Zimbabwe, which was a surprise! t /vaguely related

I was all set to go ask for sympathy from my parents, but my mother had a tooth pulled today! So I was very sympathetic toward her instead.

I missed something with the Mozilla guy. I think this is going to add to the people at work calling Firefox Mozilla, which drives me batty

I also can't stop laughing because a Facebook friend who is named Bethany keeps getting called Stebany. Because people mishear her name as Stephanie, and she says No, Bethany with a B.

I use Moves, but I would love to have a straight-up pedometer on my Pebble instead, because then I could count steps when I don't have pockets.

I have been told that the word "pesto" is derived from the same root as "pestle" and anything that has been ground up in a pestle can reasonably be called pesto.

By this derivation, was the basil/garlic/pine nut goop I mixed into tonight's pizza sauce properly called food processto?

Hey, I didn't bring what things should properly called into it. I'll defend your right to call it food processto if you want to.
