06:47 | Met unemployed computer guy last night. He went on about why Macs are pretty but useless for real work. Not surprised he's out of work. |
07:15 | Primary day in California. How can I not vote for Birther Queen Orly Taitz for President? Must. Resist. Evil. Thoughts! |
09:10 | I voted, so democracy is safe for a while longer. Even avoided voting for Orly Taitz for Senator. So proud. |

15:48 | My impressions of Cisco from working there were less than positive. Reading this doesn't change that. http://t.co/SsUnMtS1 |
16:56 | Sick & twisted version of John Malkovitch iPhone ad. http://t.co/jR149OKI |

08:44 | RT @BorowitzReport: A Romney presidency would be great unless you're poor, gay, Mexican, a woman or a dog. [Or care about any of the above.] |
11:29 | A Catholic priest reads his church the riot act. Even sheep wake up given time and provocation from Rome. http://t.co/DN1KUYvQ |
14:23 | @VictoriaDahl @alwayscoffee I like that in a woman. |
19:23 | Listening to @yakkopinky's podcast. Met him at a signing during Animaniacs' heyday. Cool then, even cooler now. |
20:41 | RT @billamend: Great encapsulation of what some of us deal with re health insurance. http://t.co/f7llJMlk [Hope the Supremes listen.] |
21:02 | @yakkopinky You asked about it on podcast #42. Dick Van Dyke sang his theme song on @waitwait on NPR. http://t.co/pLW2ZFy9 Start at 8:50. |

18:58 | RT @pourmecoffee: "46% of Americans believe God created humans in their present form within the last 10k years" http://t.co/SZN70aM0 [Gack!] |
19:15 | RT @ItsJennaMarbles: Gay marriage is legal in 6 states. Having sex with a horse is legal in 23. Good going America. [It is to weep.] |
21:40 | Amazon gave me a delivery date for my D800. Well, sorta; some time between late June and late July. Vague much? |

06:23 | @_mandolin Here you go: http://t.co/r2Dq3ZeB |
06:30 | @lizjaxe Depended on how much time I had. I watched the episodes in random order. At the end I watched 3 and 4 a day. |
06:50 | RT @byseanferrell: Far too many tweets are the first lines of novels that will never be written. [Including this one?] |
09:32 | @billprady Was it a robocall? I hung up as soon as I recognized that it was a recording. |

20:02 | I did it! Finally watched all of @KevinPollak's Chat Show. 148 episodes to date, something like 300 hours, & it only took me 3 months! |

08:24 | George Will is right for once. Trump *is* a bloviating ignoramus. I hope Mitt chokes on his support. http://t.co/K7rVgUrX |
08:30 | Once again Florida leads the nation in election malfeasance. And once again, it's state officials at fault. http://t.co/RC84zKfr |
09:34 | A beautiful emotional moment from Joe Biden, via @maddow. http://t.co/bxPxfbZT |

12:01 | @VictoriaDahl Meaning he was also in the bottom 80%? Because if not, he'd have said top 20% or better. |
15:14 | Just got followed by some cannabis-related tweeter. What does he know, or think he knows? |
22:10 | Just booked my flights for #JCCC3. Nine months ahead isn't too soon, right? |
23:04 | @brettglass First Class on miles plus $10 cash. Can't complain about the price. |

07:10 | Why isn't @mariancall more famous? She's an astounding singer/songwriter and really cool in person. http://t.co/FDgl5i21 |
07:34 | Testing out a free software trial feature at work. Our spam filter thought our own license key email was spam. Not a good sign. |
09:40 | Booked my cabin on #jccc3. How many months? 9? Wonder if I'll still be employed by then. If not, that'll make taking the time off easier. |
19:09 | @VictoriaDahl So far I'd give Start Me Up my vote. |

07:46 | Last night's photo shoot. Not my usual subject. http://t.co/NVFQlxxT |
17:05 | I needed GoToMeeting to view an old web video. No problem; they have a 30 day trial. Problem: they demand a credit card to get it. Uh, no. |
17:26 | @GoToMeeting Thanks. That helps a lot. |

10:01 | Major work effort avoided. Turns out a tech article was wrong. I know, right? I mean, what are the odds of that? |
10:34 | Trying to learn Scala programming. Doesn't help they made incompatible changes since this book came out. I HATE when that happens. |
15:19 | Dry roasted edamame tastes like lint. But crunchy. Crunchy lint, like that's a feature. |
16:46 | I love this: Where's WALL-E? I especially love the #Farscape DRDin the lower left. http://t.co/p9pKN0dJ |
17:29 | Two weeks into the new job, I'm feeling far less useless. Not useful yet, but I can see it in the distance... |

07:03 | Lost power for a few seconds. At first I thought my motion sensors had turned off the lights. Then I remembered I don't have motion sensors. |
09:52 | I'm sure Newt would have run the country better than he did his businesses. http://t.co/Ztdk7mpe |
16:43 | A programming text is $40 on iBooks, but just $17,60 for the Kindle (or the Kindle app). Something's radically wrong here. |
20:00 | Just finished Black Jack Justice, the @Decoder_Ring novel. Might have enjoyed it even more than the Red Panda books, if that's possible. |

08:58 | @billprady Guinness is better in Dublin, isn't it? As it should be. |
21:17 | Just introduced my friend Rachel to the wonders of #Farscape. Think she'll thank me? |

09:38 | It's a sluggish Saturday after my first full week at work. I'll run a few errands. But not yet. |
17:45 | "Why Wasn't I Consulted?", the basic question that explains and drives the Web. This is amazing stuff. http://t.co/DaFyWbUz |

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. |

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 |

14:13 | John McCain, are you fucking kidding me? http://t.co/pX7F77XK |
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. |
