12:50 pm: Reverse TDD
I wanted to develop the "checkout flow" for my thingie. I wasn't quite sure what primitives would be needed so I decided to prototype it.

1. Built HTML and handlers, with all logic built into the handlers. Tweak until it the "happy flow" does most of what I want and a few "error flows" work. Manual testing.
2. Move all logic into static methods. More manual testing to make sure it still does the same thing
3. Reorganize logic into classes with proper DI (and defaults). More manual testing

NOW, I can start TDD'ing
4. Write tests using mocks.
5. Come up with a variety of new test cases. Fix code/tests. Go to 4 until bored

10:13 am: AT&T SUCKS
AT&T SUCKS.

I just got off the phone with AT&T. Did you know that they REQUIRE a $15 or $30 a month data plan for all smart phones? They can't and won't take it off, even though I removed the data access from the given phone. They're FORCING me to have this data plan even though I don't want it.

Shouldn't this be illegal?

10:17 am: Sinks
Today's pet peeve: sinks.

Why do people wait on line at the MK sink to wash their hands, when they have to walk past the restrooms to get to the cafe? I'd really rather not wash my coffee cup in the restroom, since there's no dish soap or sponge in there. But washing hands in the restroom is a perfectly natural thing to do.

• Froggie, then Back Porch (The Presidents of the United States of America), IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY:
• Fins, then Pencil Thin Mustache (Jimmy Buffett),

 How did my ipod know that I wanted to hear that song at exactly that time? It was like it read my mind.
