| 14:54 | Court rules Feds can't plant GPS tracker without a court order. Only surprise is that there's even a question here. http://bit.ly/aY2P4Z |
| 17:45 | @VictoriaDahl He may be innocent, but @barryeisler knows how to kill with one finger. If only he could remember which one... |
| 18:41 | @Molly23 I love the smell of Gilroy in the morning! It smells like scampi! |

| 07:41 | Prince announces that the Internet is "so over", like MTV. Internet says "I know you are but what am I?" http://bit.ly/aYSBQb |
| 09:27 | NV TP nutbag Sharron Angle uses copyright claim to stop voters from seeing her old/real political positions as she moves to the center. |
| 11:51 | Tweetie's unable to get through to Twitter. Fortunately, there are other apps that are unaffected so far. |
| 13:26 | Female staff of The Daily Show respond to Jezebel's charges of sexism. Short version: nuh unh! http://bit.ly/aSljVb |
| 20:33 | Finally removed our monthly blogger Meetup from my calendar. Drinking (iced) coffee on my own is fun and all, but I can do that any time. |
| 20:55 | @MsCaliLogan Jeeze, what a gracious guy. |

| 07:31 | @ggreenwald Hey, either you're with us or you're with the terrorists. No, wait; that's a different conflict. |
| 08:17 | "Why is it that the people who always deny the holocaust took place are always the ones who wish it had?" http://bit.ly/ciXO3K |
| 09:48 | Racist reaction to the Prescott, AZ mural makes @ebertchicago muse and reminisce about his own experiences with race. http://j.mp/ckjNPY |
| 10:10 | Crazy crowds @ Mtn View farmers market. Line's 40 deep at Acme Bakery. |
| 19:26 | Still watching Perry Mason season 4. Why does he keep saying "infer" when he means "imply"? |
| 21:26 | Just got an email that said, "Your photo is horrible -- and this is why." It was a form letter from Nikonians. I did wonder how they knew. |

| 05:13 | Listening to a train whistle in the near distance. A beautiful, mournful sound. |
| 06:45 | Leaving Jackson, Mississippi. Today's destination: Chattanooga, Tennessee. Think I'll find a choo choo? |
| 06:47 | @IIriaa I wish you could go too. |
| 08:33 | Just crossed the Alabama state line, my ninth state of the trip. |
| 09:46 | Stopping for lunch in Tuscaloosa. Oysters sound good. |
| 09:52 | RT @ThePlumLineGS: Poll deflates "Obama's Katrina" meme: 1/4 say Gulf spill response was "poor": http://bit.ly/a2VZbn [Same % like Bush.] |
| 10:09 | My discovery for the day: Wintzell's Oyster House in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Glad I decided to take the detour off the Interstate. |
| 13:10 | Cutting the corner of Georgia on my way to Tennessee. |
| 13:43 | So much for Georgia, my tenth state of the trip. Arrived for the night in Chattanooga, where I seem to have lost an hour. Careless of me. |
| 14:52 | Chattanooga may be my new favorite place. It's certainly the prettiest town I've seen in ages. |
| 14:55 | They have a free shuttle across the river. It's electric. And it has WiFi. How cool is that! |
| 15:29 | EMC's CTO brings home an iPad. What follows is magical. This thing really is a game changer. http://bit.ly/9Yv5Zn |
| 16:18 | I love this! Cupidtino, a dating site for Mac people! http://bit.ly/cvAYjw |
| 16:20 | RT @ebertchicago: Sometimes you think you know somebody through Twitter, and you know nothing. Nothing at all. http://j.mp/9TXki2 [Wow.] |
| 17:20 | Trying a rib place because of a well placed billboard. We'll see how it goes. |
| 17:56 | The rib place was pretty good, although cutlery was pointless. As were sharp teeth for that matter. |
| 17:57 | Now I'm being followed by a Ukrainian mail order bride agency. Do I sound that desperate? (Feel free to lie to save my feelings.) |

| 07:14 | I just got some FREE music from Pageant Music. You can download it here: https://www.noisetrade.com/pageantmusic |
| 08:25 | "Women arrested in U.K. for taking corpse onto plane." What more is there to say? http://bit.ly/9oFK3k |
| 08:41 | Dr. Horrible as an 8 bit video game. Pointless & clever at the same time. http://bit.ly/cLUAUd |
| 09:31 | Spirit Air charges $45 if you carry a bag on. Add them to the list of airlines that'll never get a dime from me. http://bit.ly/98ipBt |
| 10:37 | GOP Senator dares to be honest at town hall about health care, Pelosi & Fox News. Yeah, I'm shocked too. http://bit.ly/aoxgpF |
| 16:30 | RT @chrismarquardt: Every time I fire up Parallels and start Windows XP, I feel a little dirty. [And well you should. Better than Win7.] |
| 18:26 | Watching last night's Colbert. Dean Kamen is a genuine American hero. http://bit.ly/cdGU3T |
| 19:27 | Sitting alone at the Meetup, latte in hand. Bloggers, where art thou? |
| 19:32 | Another sign of the coming apocalypse? http://tinyurl.com/ycm2d6v |
| 23:08 | Why do I love @istock? Because they make my photography better, even as they make me money. #iStock10 |

| 20:50 | Done with tonight's batch of edits from today's shoot. Fun time, and some pretty good photos. |
| 21:15 | Watching an NCIS rerun. Funny, but that Arizona terrain looks a whole lot like Vasquez Rocks north of Los Angeles. |

| 07:23 | RT @ebertchicago: Enlarge this and read why tea-baggers should flee from Tom Tancredo's call for voter literacy tests. http://j.mp/dvoJgF |
| 07:46 | Amazon's tough tactics with publisher Macmillan nothing new, says Author's Guild. Read about it at http://whomovedmybuybutton.com/. |
| 11:27 | Shooting with Shelby. She's wearing a bikini that's illegal in 12 states. |

| 08:04 | Just finished my early morning phone interview. That went well. Too well. (Cue the shark theme.) |
| 08:05 | @alwayscoffee General public be damned, Ali! You've never been more attractive! |
| 11:23 | Errand morning. Drop off shirts, get haircut, pick up prints, then take a wander through REI and maybe Best Buy. |
| 13:36 | Interesting. Costco wanted a photographer's release for the photos I printed. Guess I must be getting good at this! |
| 14:41 | Watching Brit Hume dig his own grave on last night's Daily Show. If he's an example of a good Christian, I'm glad I'm not. What a maroon. |
| 15:26 | These boots I bought for Yosemite are squeezing my feet something awful. Maybe I should pull the cardboard out before I put them on. |
| 16:22 | Gonna see @jonathancoulton in SF in a couple of weeks! With Paul & Storm, formerly of Da Vinci's Notebook! Why am I exclaiming so much?! |
| 16:33 | RT @wilw: This is, without a doubt, the coolest thing I've seen all year: http://bit.ly/5EgZMm [It *so* is.] |
| 18:44 | Watching Office Space. God, the old Mac OS GUI looks positively goofy! How far we've come. Well, some of us have. |
| 20:32 | MSFT announces slate PC (really just a renamed tablet) to take wind from Apple's sails. Wanna bet Apple really has a different name in mind? |
