| 07:44 | RT @KeithOlbermann: When Fox calls a GOP'er a liar, he's a liar #LyinRyan http://t.co/fuuu0qI6 [Will the voters fall for this scum?] |
| 20:19 | @lizbelsky But not *that* kind of unconditional love. |

| 05:27 | Dan Quayle's son loses his House primary. Guess even Arizonans have their limits. Good to know. |
| 05:28 | RT @drhorrible: We still want to revisit Dr. Horrible. Just so you know. [I want that too. Poor Penny...] |
| 08:46 | @VictoriaDahl You want to be appreciated as a writer & an awesome human being? Done! And I don't care at all about your mommyhood either. |
| 09:14 | On my way to breakfast I watched a car turn left and head down the wrong side of a divided road. My day is going much better than his. |
| 12:57 | Bagel Day today at work. Is it racist to think that my Chinese and Indian colleagues talking about shmears sounds wrong? Not Jewy enough. |

| 06:01 | @petersagal I like Echofon. Have it on iPhone, iPad, Mac & Windows (the work laptop). |
| 16:40 | RT @TPMLiveWire: Romney Camp Hands Out Pre-Made "We Built It" Signs In Tampa http://t.co/He7xS82f via @evanmc_s [He didn't build those.] |
| 18:32 | I begin to understand the Republican Dream: wealthy parents and a complete lack of empathy for your fellow man. I flunk both tests. |

| 06:08 | VP nominee Paul Ryan declares rape a method of conception. Can we bring back tar and feathers? http://t.co/PXXknVmd |
| 10:22 | Amazon reviewers wonder at the idea of Bic pens for women. I mean, let them write and they'll want to vote. Or drive. http://t.co/YMEVBzGj |
| 13:52 | I guess there are some behaviors even lawyers consider unacceptable. http://t.co/PNDIpHpE |
| 14:03 | @counternotions Why I finally unsubscribed from Groklaw. Objective analysis is nowhere to be found. |
| 15:28 | Nikon people have more respect for our gear. http://t.co/Wmxf0rig |
| 21:45 | Worked for months on a task on FB game Lucky Train. Close to finishing, see they're shutting down in two weeks. Fuck you very much, guys. |

| 10:16 | Studio shoot this morning. Arrived way too early, waiting for everyone else to get here. |
| 16:17 | Thank you, Neil Armstrong, for showing us what courage, integrity and humility look like. Few heroes in my life, but you were one of them. |
| 22:35 | When someone claims Apple stole GUIs and the mouse from Xerox, make them read this: http://t.co/N98dsIaN |

| 14:55 | I've heard of people who keep fighting the last war (Civil War much?), but this is ridiculous even for these guys. http://t.co/hlbQoMZ8 |
| 16:59 | RT @wilw: My iPad keeps saying "One BILLION dollars," like it's Doctor Evil, and Anne's iPhone just changed its name to Minime. [Hee!] |
| 17:01 | The jury sides with Apple against Samsung. Couldn't imagine how it could go otherwise, but feared it would. Blatantly copy at your peril. |
| 18:33 | @VictoriaDahl I'm certainly awful. Really, really awful. |
| 19:23 | @RonHogan @VictoriaDahl The heck you are, Ron! (See how awful I can be?) |
| 19:25 | Listening to @yakkopinky interview June Foray. I met Ms. Foray 25 years ago at a Mensa thing. She was gracious and sweet. Glad she still is. |
| 19:31 | @RonHogan @VictoriaDahl I'm so awful, Darth Vader takes awful lessons from me. |
| 19:33 | @VictoriaDahl Can't think of anyone I'd rather be awful to. @ronhogan |
| 20:32 | @TheStevenWeber Clearly these dipshits don't. @reduced Bible show is funny; only the most repressed could be offended. http://t.co/SQQTpoia |

| 07:55 | @paulandstorm This nonsense goes back a long way: http://t.co/ZBhFlkm4 I suspect now it's just wish fulfillment by anti-abortion types. |
| 10:01 | @IsobelCarr And this is different from Creationism how exactly? |
| 10:40 | @IsobelCarr To that I would add a War on Compassion. If one has to invent a God, why not a kind one? |
| 11:37 | Tony Perkins sez Scott Brown support is shallow among Conservatives. But how is it with shallow Conservatives?http://t.co/ZOAlIjG5 |

| 14:28 | Went to my usual burrito place for lunch. What greeted me was a gutted building and workmen finishing the job. No burrito for me. |
| 14:34 | RT @pourmecoffee: Oops. "Leader of anti-Semitic party in Hungary discovers he is Jewish" http://t.co/XpFb3mDN [Now that's comedy.] |
| 18:19 | At Mountain Winery, way too early as usual. Sushi, a cocktail, then Weird @alyankovic. How's your Tuesday night going? |

| 08:06 | RT @TPM: McCain: Paul Ryan "also a bold choice" like Sarah Palin http://t.co/tnDG83PG [How'd that bold choicy thing work out for ya?] |
| 10:52 | Hey, FB & Twitter friends. Do not post photos of horribly mangled children to get sympathy. I will block you, in sympathy for my stomach. |

| 07:26 | "Romney/Ryan '12: There's no there there." |
| 08:26 | 'Romney/Ryan '12: A Whiter Shade of Pale" |
| 17:17 | Just got an email asking for persona details about one of the models I shot. Weird, and not a little bit creepy. |

| 11:47 | A Las Vegas Denny's with a full bar and a wedding chapel? What could possibly go wrong with that? http://t.co/D6XlFgrA |
| 11:57 | RT @billamend: Best "Call Me Maybe" video yet... http://t.co/wz7LbsBT (via reddit) [My eyes! Where's the bleach?] |

| 22:07 | Just finished Day of the Jackal and Sabrina. Now watching When Eight Bells Toll, much worse than I remembered. Not Alastair MacLean's best. |

| 13:33 | The (remaining) Monkees are touring this fall. Got a ticket to their show at Flint Center. If I weren't so old and gray I'd squee! |

| 13:23 | Alan Kay once said the right point of view is worth 20 IQ points. Just had a moment like that where I blew away my Engineering Director. |
| 18:54 | Good news: got my camera back. Bad news: Nikon fixed nothing, blamed my CF cards. This is bullshit, Nikon. I am *not* pleased. |

| 11:50 | Finally! My D800 is on its way back to me, all fixed 'n stuff. Maybe it'll be here in time for this weekend's shoots. |
| 12:44 | RT @JustaSunGod: 7 worst website names. #wow http://t.co/pKzPGiy8 [I feel a spit take coming on...] |
| 12:50 | How much attention will this story get when it's Samsung & Moto products made by abused workers and not Apple? http://t.co/Pr0jsI9Z |
| 12:54 | Think Apple's evil? Welcome to Samsung. http://t.co/njAkBG8S |
| 19:12 | @alwayscoffee No. You're not. I've read your poetry. |
| 19:56 | My very expensive ball head arrived. So excited! (I know what you're thinking. Stop it.) |
| 20:32 | Just finished watching Phil Rosenthal on @KPChatShow. He's more Raymond than Raymond. Just downloaded his audiobook to my iPhone. Road trip! |
| 21:02 | In case you have any doubt that Samsung studied every detail of the iPhone in hopes of duplicating its success: http://t.co/tFMYlxct |

| 07:24 | RT @paulandstorm: [P] BREAKING: @MarsCuriosity discovers evidence of Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator. [Won't that be lovely!] |
| 10:09 | You know what's great about a 90 minute call with the Sales team first thing Monday morning? Not a damn thing, that's what. |
| 18:15 | @IsobelCarr Shows up fine to me. Have you tried a different browser? |
| 21:57 | @counternotions Because PJ believes the whole Open Source share everything philosophy. She's a zealot. And Apple isn't and doesn't. |

| 16:03 | iPhone podcast app left some podcasts on my phone I couldn't get rid of. Had to wipe & reinstall, but they're all gone now. |

| 09:43 | @alwayscoffee Did somebody really type "a fore mentioned"? Could be worse. They might have spelled it "four". |

| 19:57 | Took three days for the new developer forum I set up for work to get its first spammer. Caught it at registration time, which is good. |
| 21:38 | Tried to add a captcha to my photo blog to deter spammers. Everything broke. But not my fault, it appears, as it's magically working again. |

| 18:31 | Why this Chick-fil-A business is about a whole lot more than free speech. http://t.co/GjhbT9QV |
