| 06:43 | For future reference, scheduling a four hour shoot for a Monday night is not the best idea. Although it *was* fun at the time. |
| 10:34 | First business trip in ages in the works for next month. Booth duty at a trade show; I'm excited! And no, that wasn't sarcasm. |
| 14:14 | Someone at work has a Droid phone. How can I tell? Because 3 times in the last few seconds it made a robotic "Droid" sound. No, make it 4. |

| 06:19 | RT @isaiah: Yahoo got their CEO from eBay? And he wasn't quite what he said he was in his description? No irony there. Nope. None. [Hee.] |

| 07:24 | @VictoriaDahl Never apologize for your taste. I'd not apologize if I didn't like your books, though I'd be polite about it. (I do like 'em.) |

| 07:47 | In case you had any doubt about Verizon being heartless scum. http://t.co/yyqcuPFh |
| 09:44 | It's not that Mitt was an asshole as a kid; lots of us were. It's that he can't feel or won't admit to remorse now. http://t.co/hKfaNaBc |
| 14:27 | @angrymacbastard Did you guys miss this one? http://t.co/h9ixLNjF (NYTimes fucked up Apple tax story.) |
| 15:59 | And here we thought Colin Powell was the one honorable individual in the Bush administration. http://t.co/fTxo6Bza |
| 18:57 | @VictoriaDahl I've only seen the first Iron Man, & sort of know the other characters. But I loved it. A roller coaster of thrills & laughs. |
| 18:58 | @alwayscoffee Just what I was thinking: wish I could see your bottom. |
| 19:00 | @alwayscoffee Good; that's what I was going for. But the dress looks awfully good. |
| 20:40 | @petersagal Maybe you should turn the Thesaurus option off, "Peter". |

| 13:40 | Is.there a sweeter sound from your IT guy than "I'm a Mac guy too, and I can make all your iDevices work on our network"? |
| 23:35 | Just back from seeing The Avengers. Amazing; it couldn't have been better. |

| 08:47 | Day one on the new job. Hanging out in a conference room while they figure out what to do with me. |
| 11:02 | @VictoriaDahl I was a volunteer for a @MythBusters myth last week. It'll take a few months before it airs. |
| 19:12 | Survived day one of re-employment. Oh, and put in my order for a Nikon D800. Hope I'm still working by the time it ships. |
| 19:13 | @JenniferEchols I'm told one couple flew from Philly to SF for the @mythbusters experiment. So you could've been with us. @VictoriaDahl |
| 19:50 | Hello, nurse! An extensive history of the Animaniacs! http://t.co/eAKwOgfq I met Rob, Jess & Tress and got them to autograph a cel. |

| 07:49 | Atheist gets the military to accept Flying Spaghetti Monster as a real religious thing. http://t.co/S7qJ9xCE |
| 08:02 | @Srikanth_gullap @JohnRossBowie As Ted Sturgeon, 90% of everything is crud. That includes people's opinions, actors or not. Speak on, JRB. |
| 09:49 | That NY Times article about Apple's crazy low tax rate? Yeah, it was crap. Totally wrong in its wrongness. http://t.co/h9ixLNjF |
| 12:02 | My Twitter feed today'll be full of Obama quotes re: gay marriage. I don't mind, really. Wish his evolution had come sooner, though. |
| 14:27 | Weird. Log Cabin Republicans are mad that Obama supports gay marriage rights? More important to be Republican than gay? http://t.co/XUM97UMs |
| 18:09 | Michele Bachmann claims dual citizenship with Switzerland? Does she understand the Swiss are supposed to be all neutral 'n stuff? |
| 18:58 | @cschweitz Is it wrong that now I can't think of you any other way? |
| 20:20 | Someone should tell Mitt that if you want to show resolve and consistency, denying others equal rights isn't the stand. |
| 21:39 | Still catching up on old @KevinPollak's Chat Show eps. Shocked to learn that Tara's dating Warren. Does Willow know about this? |

| 09:50 | A beautiful sunny day. Perfect for getting my car serviced and walking home. |
| 12:57 | Love these podcasters: @decoder_ring @ThrillingAdv @reduced @paulandstorm @hellobuglers @macosken @chrismarquardt What are your favorites? |
| 13:20 | Black Repug Congresscritter quotes Confederate general in a speech. I can feel my brain snap shut. http://t.co/mZvmwpGc |
| 15:27 | They say the most creative people in Hollywood are in the Accounting Dept. Guess publishing isn't much different. http://t.co/K7b17tsq |
| 15:42 | @alwayscoffee You win? No, every guy who gets to see you in it, they win. |
| 15:44 | @alwayscoffee Really? Usually I make them laugh out loud! |
| 17:35 | This is great comment spam on my site: "amazing snap-shot! Did you change your shutter speed?" |
| 18:53 | North Carolina had the chance to shame California by doing the right thing. They blew it. |

| 08:07 | I'm now 72 hours away from gainful employment. Gonna take some getting used to. |
| 10:05 | @alwayscoffee Really? Ball-whores? Why am I just learning this now? @VictoriaDahl |
| 14:52 | RT @VictoriaDahl: Listening to all chicks all the time on iPod lately. I don't like boys this week. NONE OF YOU! [Boys are yucky.] |
| 15:46 | Phony Fox & Friends corrections almost as ludicrous as the real thing. http://t.co/mIyX2FY9 |

| 14:42 | How exactly does a public company like Amazon get by telling us so little about its business? http://t.co/uBwzB6DK |
| 17:41 | I refuse to watch any more @MythBusters eps until the myth I did this week airs. Okay, that's a complete lie. |

| 09:16 | Remember that iPhone that caught fire on a flight in Oz last year? Turns out a botched repair was likely at fault. http://t.co/b2inooH5 |
| 10:10 | Listen, credit card robocaller. How can this be my final courtesy call when you WON'T STOP CALLING? You even lie about your lies. |

| 07:50 | Today's lesson: when the truck arrives to service the port-a-potties, run! Run like the wind! |
| 12:05 | @KimEtzel84 I follow @MythBusters and saw a tweet asking for volunteers. That's all it took. |
| 15:37 | Thanks to @jamienotweet & @donttrythis for an amazing couple of days. If @mythbusters asks for volunteers again, I'll be on line. |
| 16:26 | Have Kindle Fire & e-ink Kindle sales fallen apart? Sure looks that way. http://t.co/Xfybr02T |

| 08:31 | Up at 5 to drive to Mare Island for @MythBusters experiment. Checked in & waiting for whatever's next. |
| 18:03 | I survived Day 1 of my @MythBusters adventure. Day 2 awaits... |
| 18:06 | New employer is putting my business card in. Guess it's official. Can paychecks (and Nikon D800 order) be far behind? |
| 20:38 | Caught up with latest Red Panda episode from @Decoder_Ring while waiting for @MythBusters experiment to get going. Best way to spend a day. |

| 12:04 | 8am start tomorrow for my @MythBusters experiment. And it's a 2 hour drive from here. What *have* I done? |
| 15:06 | RIM stages event at Sydney Apple Store in desperate grab for attention & relevance, fails at the latter. http://t.co/bcxvCLxx |
| 15:09 | Funny. Saw a tweet that said what I wanted to say, realized it was mine. Shouldn't change my avatar; it only confuses me. |
| 17:17 | @nprscottsimon Surely that's more elegant, brilliant, beautiful and cosmopolitan than asking "Who farted?", isn't it? |
| 17:20 | "The incompleteness of the (new BlackBerry) phone only becomes apparent when it is switched on." (It can't make calls.) http://t.co/FEKjKgO9 |
| 20:25 | Thanks to @KevinPollak's Chat Show, need to reconsider the musical Wicked. Saw it in SF & wasn't thrilled. They rewrote it right after that. |

| 08:27 | When the photographer becomes the photographee. Thanks, Craig! http://t.co/Itzqy8Oa |
| 08:29 | @HappyTinfoilCat Sorry, but open is open. You can't declare open source and then hold it back when it's convenient. |
| 08:47 | @HappyTinfoilCat It's more than config files. Google says differences between publicly available & what's on Nexus is nobody's business. |
| 09:04 | @IsobelCarr But how could even a lesbian resist such virile masculinity? Besides, she's just waiting for the right one to turn her straight. |
| 09:04 | @IsobelCarr And yes, I'm aware that that's total crap. |
| 09:35 | Scratch an extreme moralist & you'll likely find a perv. (Santorum asks to photograph Lindsay, then lamely denies it.) http://t.co/Mp3hJTLU |

| 16:28 | My uncle played his age in golf. He was 80 at the time. Newt's unpopularity nearly reaches his age: 64.4% at 68. He's working at it. |
| 17:46 | RT @pourmecoffee: Newt Gingrich's Secret Service ends tonight, Must hurt to lose someone you thought would be there for you. [*snort*] |
| 17:59 | Those 31 GOP Senators who voted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act? Clearly they don't believe in a vengeful God. |

| 09:18 | With Newt finally admitting defeat, does this mean more press coverage for Ron Paul. No. No, it most certainly doesn't. |
| 21:24 | Enter to win your choice: a Nikon D800 or Canon 5D MK III from @viewbug & Scott Bourne. Please RT. Info at: http://t.co/SD84axen |

| 07:52 | Fox News' Steve Doocy lies about his earlier lies, clarifies nothing except that he's a partisan hack. http://t.co/76DRp2az |
| 08:00 | A sequel to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? Sounds better than the original book. Wonder if I can get it on my iPhone... http://t.co/hMETPEES |
| 09:22 | Consistency is a virtue, right? Consistently wrong, not so much. Pundit fantasies on GOP nominees: http://t.co/lWxnOhEG (I blame the drugs.) |
| 11:00 | Just paid for my July cruise to Alaska. Guess that makes it real now, huh? State #50, I'm coming to see you. |
| 14:35 | http://t.co/kb9NPyRu So now you know. |
| 14:53 | Best product reviews EVER! http://t.co/u2Da0k4W |
| 18:15 | Had one of those experiences that remind me of how much I hate going into Fry's. Not exactly bait & switch, but not far off. |
| 18:19 | Installing a Wii has given me a headache. I blame Rachel and her Rock Band party. |
| 23:10 | A little excitement at my friend's studio tonight. Someone amused himself by setting a dumpster on fire. Many thanks to the Santa Clara FD. |

| 09:12 | In a haze this morning. Saw Spamalot with friends last night in SF, followed by late ice cream attack. Good judgment in short supply. |
| 09:37 | An interesting and distressing history of so-called truth drugs. Movies make this stuff seem so simple and true. http://t.co/FbpAJu1E |
| 10:44 | Call to my cell with no message turns out to be political survey/cruise deal. Found whole thread on this scam by Googling phone number. |
