Looking at fun future Coly-centric promotions.

Swag involved?

Coly totally has swag. He's the king of swagger.

Oh, you meant swag. Possibly.

Are you guys already on (or looking to expand) to the East Coast and such? Other Countries on the road map yet?

We have facilities in NY/NJ/BOS/MIA and more. We'd love to expand into other countries, though.

Voted for legal weed, condom-less porn, repealing the death penalty, affordable housing, and no more plastic bags today.

Ballot measures are weird in California.

@JaredBusch said in Colocation America- Ask Me Anything:

Sorry I almost missed this, but @ChrisL I want to know when/if you will ever offer per U pricing anywhere besides the west coast?

Yes! We've been discussing opening up all of our colo plans to the majority of our facilities.

Bought a new card today! 2017 Chevy Spark--it's perfect for scooting around horrible, horrible Los Angeles traffic in style AND comfort.

(Pay me, Chevy)

I just traded in my 2013 Spark!

I really enjoy feeling like I'm driving a bigger go-cart.

So the WTH of the day.

Driving down a back road in my town. Come up on a pickup truck pulled along side on my side of the road. Some guy standing in the back..... facing across the road to the field. I glance over notice a bunch of deer (like 60 or so) glance back up the idiot has a gun and is shooting at the deer.

Here are the issues:

1. He is shooting across both lanes (now to give him credit this road gets hardly any traffic)
2. It is not gun season here yet
3. He continued to shoot when I went by!
4. It is illegal to shoot within a certain number of feet of a road or house (at least there are no houses that close).

Did you call the police? That's a pretty heavy offense with regards to Dept of Fish & Game.

Too many.

MOST famous? Seinfeld, maybe?

My personal favorites? Dave Chappelle and Hulk Hogan.

@ChrisL No one in IT should ever have access to weapons

Too late. I took karate when I was 12. I'm practically a walking weapon.

You took one class when you were 12, watch out

His body has been molded into a lethal instrument. Be careful of taunting him.

He even plays jenga with 2x4s!!!

I'm doing a Jenga block-breaking demonstration at MangoCon 2017.

You all need to get your mind out of the gutter.

Well, a quick update on my N64 nostalgia run--I'm halfway through Goldeneye, working on gathering stars in Mario 64, and planning on starting Ocarina of Time tonight.

In other news, my personal productivity has taken a giant nosedive.

@ChrisL @RojoLoco If I don't see beakers I'm going to be upset

If by "beaker", you mean a clear, glass cylinder that I put a liquid in the bottom of, add other ingredients, and then smoke comes out due to a reaction between two ingredients...then yeah, beakers.

I mean these:

He looks like me after an edible kicks in.

Chef's Table on Netflix is an amazing documentary series that follows the top chefs in the world...highly recommended!

This is cool and all, but how does it fare with typos?

BOOM. ROASTED.

Figuring out where the GF and I want to backpack to this weekend at Joshua Tree. Got a new pack and new sleeping back, temps in low 40's at night and I'm excited to try it out.

What pack? I have a Red Rock Outdoor Assault Pack (not for tactical but for modular reasons).

If you find yourself this way.. you should hit the Gorge

I got the Kelty Coyote 80 from REI. We usually only do one night, wouldn't consider anything more than two nights, so I didn't need anything too intensive. We opted for a square double sleeping bag because neither of us enjoy feeling like a butterfly about to emerge from a cocoon, so it fits nicely into this pack, and she carries the tent/sleeping pads.

I'm reading up a bit about indoor plant growing on a global scale.

Specifically PlantLab and Plant Paradise

It's really awesome technology.

<angrily throws bottle of Mountain Dew>

This - This is what I was basically working on / towards about twelve years ago... I so wished I had had the support then to make it happen. I knew then - in 2004(ish) to do this,.. I was working at one of the Automobile Manufactures here in KY, and wanted to take an old wasted space (Wal-Mart building, etc) and turn it into an indoor farm...

Back then I knew (fairly certain) I could have picked up grants and such left and right as the goal was to go nearly 100% green... Collect water, use solar heat, power, wind power Geo-thermal, bio-gas - full gambit... and grow everything,.. and seafood.... as seafood is a $4BILLION import....

But I didn't have the support (still don't) or the encouragement (still don't) or the belief it would work.... And now it's all over the place. Aqua / Hydroponics, Vertical Farming and such.. ...

You can always start at the small scale and work up.

I used to grow hydroponic basil in the tub.

Yeah, "basil"...

Looks like SW is dead in the water... again.

I just noticed that myself, doing maintenance.

Seems like an inopportune time to do maintenance.

Don't be silly, everyone loves maintenance in the middle of the day.

Los Angeles, today

@wirestyle22 I'm thinking something that is typically dispensed medicinally, but is still enjoyed either way recreationally.
