| 12:39 | @HelloTheFuture I know that hotel very well. Stayed there a couple of weeks ago, sadly without filkers. |
| 16:29 | This is weird. Suddenly my glacially slow DSL is uploading at 10x the rate my router says it's capable of. Have I said too much? |

| 17:31 | Am I a bad atheist if I crave a RT from @TheTweetOfGod? Cuz I am, and I do. |

| 11:09 | After Ever After - DISNEY Parody [Amazing and disturbing.] http://t.co/JXd1d6z20I |
| 12:07 | Picked up at a comic con in San Jose yesterday. Artist worked on P&TB. He's a fan of @yakkopinky like me. http://t.co/JqGiGKkNe5 |
| 12:10 | Also got this. Story of my job, if not my life. He also had one of lil' Greedo saying "it wasn't even loaded." http://t.co/mnBzhhuY6l |
| 18:32 | Via @reduced, @HESHerman reviews an Allan Sherman bio. The latter Sherman was a huge influence, which explains a lot. http://t.co/kio8whPY8j |
| 18:47 | @HESherman I just ordered the Allan Sherman bio for my iPad. And it's all your fault! Thanks for that. |
| 20:19 | RT @DeathStarPR: Hooray! Best. Assignment. Ever. http://t.co/Nkibg95U48 [Cue the ominous music.] |

| 07:16 | Award winning photo accused of fakery is declared genuine. Digital analysis isn't all it's cracked up to be. http://t.co/sd6clNJDGI |
| 08:17 | Google's "do no evil"? Yeah, that's a load of crap. http://t.co/FvZDrFmrrS |
| 18:50 | @alwayscoffee Buy it. But understand this: pictures or it didn't happen. |
| 18:54 | @alwayscoffee Hanging in there, Ali. Trying to decide if I want to take a trip on my forced vacation the week of July 4th. |
| 19:00 | @alwayscoffee Company shutdown that week. So I have to use vacation. Thinking scenic railroad in southern Colorado. |
| 19:41 | Planning a trip to southern Colorado to ride scenic trains. Said trains' website has other ideas. Techfail to the max. Or is that webfail? |

| 10:42 | Sitting at my gate at SJC. Off to Phoenix today to talk Java at http://t.co/zZEIe0ti28. Hope it's less gray than San Jose today. |

| 07:54 | @mkwiles It's easy to see people online as not really people. Not so satisfying to abuse someone when you can see their reaction. |
| 16:18 | Amazing penguin photo, even more because it isn't Photoshop. http://t.co/QCAVtALg06 |

| 07:11 | RT @flargh: What do I have to do to get Westboro Baptist Church to picket my funeral? [For one thing, you have to die.] |
| 16:20 | Pay $50 a month for Photoshop until I die? Not gonna happen, Adobe. Guess it's CS5 forever, or until someone makes a good alternative. |
| 16:27 | @adelnation Not unless there's a Mac version. And not without Portraiture, my favorite plugin. |

| 17:59 | The Retina MacBook Pro is amazing. Might even be worth what it costs. Or not, but it's too late now. We're already bonding. |

| 10:49 | So to be clear, Ron Paul did consort with bigots, but he didn't any more, but now he does again? Got it, thanks. http://t.co/6kbyWWABj0 |
| 11:23 | Note to marketing firms: don't try to trick me if you ever want my business. Today's example, a phony wedding "save the date" announcement. |
| 13:07 | Oh, FFS. Dell really thinks they're going to convince the world that they'll get tablets right? http://t.co/7YD8tGhG0r |
| 18:51 | My old MacBook Pro has been getting worse lately, so today I blew a ton of cash on a new retina MBP. So excited! |
| 18:53 | RT @Decoder_Ring: If you've read Mask of the Red Panda 3 already, may I trouble you to rate it on Comixology? [Already did. 5 stars!] |

| 05:36 | Crawling through traffic toward O'Hare. Flying home eventually, after 2 days of pointless trade show table standing. Okay, mostly sitting. |
| 06:45 | Traffic finally moved. I'm through Security and having breakfast before my flight. Expensive, but nothing compared to the hotel. |

| 12:05 | Surprise! I'm at an airport! SFO this time, where the WiFi she no work. Not impressed. |
| 13:43 | On the plane for Chicago. Missed getting an upgrade yet again. Even Platinum status isn't worth much these days. |
| 19:49 | So I made it to Chicago and am now ensconced in the old Drake Hotel. Lovely word, ensconced. |

| 10:32 | Pakistani musicians cover Dave Brubeck's Take Five. Surprising and generally awesome. http://t.co/f5k3mY8yQP |
| 11:09 | Checked in for my flight to Portland tomorrow. I'm speaking about Java at http://t.co/2Vsal5QZyN, only fair since they're a Java user group. |

| 07:29 | 3 hours waiting to talk to Rob, Jess & Tress, AKA Yakko, Wakko & Dot. Worth it, but feel like a zombie today. Breakfast, then Universal. |
| 16:33 | 7 hours at Universal Studios & I'm done. Fun but crazy expensive, especially with the Front of Line option. |
| 18:44 | "The History Channel is to history what Dr. Pepper is to doctors." Southern comic reduces The Bible. http://t.co/7mWbbRSJ7l |
| 20:11 | @TheAshleyClem Love the red hair. The red eye not so much. |
| 20:12 | RT @yakkopinky: Thanks to all who came to share the joy of ANIMANIACS LIVE last night! http://t.co/3kaaIeu814 [It was the bestest!] |
| 20:26 | Okay, time for a pledge: no more chili dogs ever. They disagree with me. Violently and quickly. Time to grow up, I guess. |
| 20:53 | @donttrythis Hope the myth I was in last May finally gets on the air. I've been so patient! |
