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!

09:18 UK medical journal admits they may have been hasty in trashing researcher's work. Only took 150 years to do it. http://t.co/GEbBpaU1Pn

10:00 San Francisco never looked more beautiful. http://t.co/w39kyVCOnc
15:11 On the plane to Burbank and the #Animaniacs reunion show. So excited!
16:28 @alwayscoffee It is indeed. Also available on ustream.tv.
16:29 @Lomara I'll keep an eye out for @wetodded. Tell him to look for me.
19:04 Waiting for the #Animaniacs show to start. Got here super early to get a good seat not a big deal; this place is tiny!
19:17 @Lomara I did get to meet @wetodded. He's a few feet closer to the stage, dammit.
19:18 @shelbyfero And yet somehow I keep managing not to.
20:22 It begins. http://t.co/andhKXzqhj

07:36 Don't think I've ever purchased their products, and now I'm glad of it. Birth control is immoral & unnatural? Really? http://t.co/GuyxwgnIaz
08:07 Gordon Ramsay makes a contestant cry, but not how you'd think. I got misty too. http://t.co/wN0aDpv2MZ
08:09 @alwayscoffee I like that he's as passionate about what's great as he is about what's not.
09:20 "Meet Born-Again Christian Singles like you" There are born-again Christian singles like me? I kinda doubt that.
15:51 Just checked in for my flight to Burbank tomorrow. Gonna see the #Animaniacs reunion, live and in person!

17:27 Seems to be my day for resolving problems on the phone. I'd forgotten how easy that can be.
17:31 Decided to upgrade my 5 year old copy of Office Mac. Amazon offered a download option. It was failing. Just about to call. Now it's working.
18:38 @VictoriaDahl You're even more adorable than usual!
19:21 Happy 85th birthday to Tom Lehrer. And thanks to my big brother Sam for introducing me to his tuneful snarkiness. Or snarky tunefulness.

09:31 Hope this means @MythBusters will finally run my episode. Please? http://t.co/QWGOeE0hBg
10:12 @alwayscoffee But it's all backward! Won't reading a backwards book give you a headache 'n stuf?
10:42 @joshtpm Did the employees lose? Or just the lawyers who'd get most of the money from a class action settlement? Peanuts for the plaintiffs.
11:45 RT @jessicard: if you hate someone, endorse them on linkedin for SOAP APIs and waterfall methodologies [That's cruel.]

19:10 Finished @TheLizzieBennet Diaries, so now I'm watching @l7sville. Discovering how amazing @mkwiles is. Zelda is so unlike @TheLydiaBennet.

14:11 Today's @Southwest Ding! offers from SFO are to Akron or Milwaukee. Seriously? Not a day early for April Fools?
15:59 I remember when most everything closed for Easter. I like this new more secular America much better.

00:13 @Lomara But I've been enjoying mainlining the series. Did the same with Buffy and most of Angel too. @TheLizzieBennet
00:41 @Lomara So I did. Can't do anything about that now though. @TheLizzieBennet
11:29 Courtney Milan, I think I love you. Not just because of your version of the Supremes arguments. But that's a start. http://t.co/G321T0Tc0H
11:36 Made the mistake of answering my landline. It was a solicitor of some kind, but one too busy to pick up the phone. Stood up by a scumbag.
15:38 Today's Amazon haul: Les Miz on Blu-Ray and a new @CAH expansion pack. Because I like suffering when it happens to other people.
15:43 Finished my marathon viewing of @TheLizzieBennet Diaries. Best web thing ever.
18:25 @TheAshleyClem Loved it, even discovering it so late. It rivals the BBC version. Rest up and get well soon. @Lomara

10:28 Worst example of cultural insensitivity ever, Congressional Edition. http://t.co/HEm6pxDGkD
11:34 Repugs in Congress angry that sequester cuts aren't just to Dem districts. Imagine that. http://t.co/J4zQTdaN5K
21:14 Why did I not start watching @TheLizzieBennet until it was all over? 40 episodes in and completely entranced.

21:49 Tonight's pre-theatre lesson: when I order Thai, make it mild. Medium damn near did me in.
21:50 Back from @SJRep. The play is called Disconnect, about an Indian call center. Funny and sad.

09:28 ipv6 finally kicked in on my new router, demonstrating that I have no clue what's going on with ipv6. Yes, I am old.
15:38 Today's unsurprising discovery: rose ice cream tastes the way roses smell. Why did that surprise me?
16:25 "Samsung South Africa are committed to embracing a variety of consumers." Show us where the bad company touched you. http://t.co/xKIWRZ2Cl4
16:57 So maybe government does have a role in creating or at least keeping jobs around. (Krystal leaves TN for GA.) https://t.co/YqVQNr01Hg
16:58 For the record, I like Krystal. Even more than I like White Castle, and that's saying something.
21:19 RT @capricecrane: On Sunday nights, if you listen closely, you can hear Monday taunting you with the "Jaws" theme. [Story of my work life.]

10:28 Samsung products suck. Blu-Ray player SW update broke TV. Lucky I remembered fix from last time: unplug and replug TV to get HDMI working.

12:04 An honest politician is one who stays bought. But he probably shouldn't tweet about it. http://t.co/bxZYixV0ir
19:33 Spent a nice afternoon in Oakland with Sea Monkeys. Still sad that #jccc4 is 11 months away.
20:16 Just booked a trip to Universal next month to see the Warner Bros. (And the Warner sister!) Hope @yakkopinky is funny.
