12:15 | Is Mittens Romney really upset because ending the Iraq war now is a bad idea, or because he doesn't get to do it? http://t.co/F0wDlf3t |

08:37 | Funny how @StephenAtHome Colbert's conservative persona fell away when interviewing Harry Belafonte. Stephen was too delighted to pretend. |
16:36 | Tried Siri at the Apple Store today. I asked about pizza places, and it gave me a bunch. Asked where I could buy a PC and it got confused. |
18:25 | Herman Cain's messiah can be yours too. It's only common sense! http://t.co/jYSbbSaT |
18:30 | The evolution of iPhone photos. Makes me want a 4S even more. Must resist... http://t.co/87A9nZIL |

13:45 | Rush Limbaugh likes rapists and murderers when they invoke God in their name. What a guy. http://t.co/dEYtVAnD |
16:46 | I think we just found one lucky pastor. http://t.co/1hQwXEIu |
16:58 | Lemony Snicket explains what the Occupy Wall Street shouting is about. And a good job he does too. http://t.co/7TJtGRwP |
16:59 | You can tell I have an outdoor model shoot coming up. I'm charging up all my batteries, and not just the ones in the camera. |
18:25 | Finally figured out my iPhone sync problem with iOS 5. It's the ringtone install app's fault. Got my ringtones synced too! |
21:43 | Rob Enderle makes a living pooping out "analysis" like this? The world is doomed. http://t.co/xQn8Ut31 |

07:22 | Reminder to self: stay the hell away from Apple Stores today. Also from any mall that has an Apple Store. |
09:44 | RT @hensoncompany: In case you missed it, new #Muppets trailer! http://t.co/Y9fAAo8G (via @MuppetsStudio) [Can't wait to see!] |
09:50 | Had to wipe & restore my iPhone, but it's running iOS 5 and everything is synced again. A problem: photos now in name order, not time shot. |
10:24 | Call from Citibank. Data breach means my card number is in the wild. Get to learn a new # & notify lots of merchants. Joy. |
12:41 | @MsCaliLogan I'm going to have to stop into a Target or Walmart and get a copy. I guess you're famous; I'm just near famous! |
12:51 | Mormon Church touts poll saying 2/3 of US opposed to gay marriage. Funny that every other poll says the opposite. http://t.co/QHyO2oAo |
12:54 | Fox dipshit admits they should have "clarified" their story on Obama apology to Japan. "Clarify" meaning it's a lie. http://t.co/5m4ihnTS |
22:41 | Debugging a major tech meltdown. TiVO, Blu-Ray, AV receiver all failing. AppleTV & cable still okay. Rebooted the TV & now it's back! |
23:03 | Debugging my HDTV reminds me of why I was a software guy. And why I haven't done any serious debugging in a while. |
23:05 | Today's big lesson: before you start rewiring, try power cycling everything. It's quicker, easier and works surprisingly often. |

10:09 | @MsCaliLogan Friends don't let friends shoot Canon. Just saying'. |
10:33 | @MsCaliLogan Dunno. I'd have to see the card to recognize the pose. But it could be. |
10:34 | @MsCaliLogan I've heard a lot of good things about Nikon's D7000. Smallish, light, but great photos and video. |
10:39 | If it's any consolation, today will be a scorcher in Napa. Not consoled? Sorry about that. |
13:49 | @MsCaliLogan Yeah, I bet that's one of mine. I had no idea. |

10:53 | Thus spake @VictoriaDahl: "I'm immature, not sick." How can I improve on that? |
11:32 | Taking forever to download Mac OS X Lion update. And then I have to get iOS 5. Twice, for iPhone and iPad. Grumble... |
21:49 | Just finished a 4 hour marathon shoot with the lovely Isabella, a graduate student at my alma mater. Such fun. |

08:42 | Harry McCracken on why the Open Source freetards' attacks on Steve Jobs and Apple are offensive nonsense: http://t.co/tpAKss6I |
11:04 | Stupid Yahoo! If I ask about a movie, why do you keep showing me Los Angeles theaters? No wonder I never use you! |
12:40 | "A long time admirer thinks highly of you." A tautological fortune cookie! |
13:24 | I had an email from a former coworker. Never hear from him unless he wants something. And so it was this time, although I was no help. |
18:02 | In what kind of world does a show about the Playboy Club get canceled before a game show called America's Next Republican Candidate? |
20:51 | Did Rick Perry really place the American Revolution in the 16th Century? Wow, what a maroon. |

11:17 | @alwayscoffee I've been drinking iced tea unsweetened for so long, I'm surprised when it tastes any other way. |
11:51 | @alwayscoffee It takes some getting used to, like black coffee. I like iced coffee unsweetened too. |
12:08 | @paulandstorm Radio Shack arrived too late to grab me. The Lafayette Radio Electronics catalogue was my dream book. http://t.co/0fQHmSUB |
13:22 | @alwayscoffee And suddenly you are dead to me. And yet still devastatingly attractive, which worries me a bit. |
22:40 | Portrait session tonight, where we were both the photographers and the models. I'm thinking the red feather boa may have been a poor choice. |

12:08 | Thanks to @TheMacalope for raging against the dying of Steve Jobs' light, and the asshats who don't get why we mourn. http://t.co/P4yA5Qif |

15:18 | Sarah Palin announces she isn't running in 2012. Is anybody surprised? Does anybody care? |
16:42 | Is it true? Is Steve Jobs really gone? |
16:53 | I thought his first success was a fluke. Thanks, Steve, for proving me wrong. We won't see your like again. http://t.co/2QXfpSJ1 |

10:28 | Reading tweets and posts about the iPhone announcement. The natives are getting restless... |
14:47 | No iPhone 5, just a measly little 4S. And yet I want one! It's faster, and 64GB will hold my whole iTunes library. Darn you, Apple! |
15:30 | @KobeATL It does support both GSM (AT&T & Europe) and CDMA (Verizon, Sprint, etc.) in one phone. Dunno how the carriers'll handle roaming. |
16:11 | @KiwiSpyGirl Minor? More than twice as fast, double the max storage, better antennas, supports two different networks, much better camera. |
16:12 | @KiwiSpyGirl Oh, and some magical voice command stuff that only works on the new phone. Plus all the goodies in iOS 5. I'm excited. |
16:13 | @KiwiSpyGirl Yep. 16/32/64GB. |
16:17 | Grr... Went to AT&T site. It said I may be eligible for an upgrade. And so I am, at FULL PRICE. So no new iPhone for me, at least until Feb. |
16:34 | RT @TheMacalope: Apple delivers Star Trek-level voice technology, pundits complain about the shape of the box it comes in. [Computer!] |

07:18 | Shooting with a new model this afternoon. First model shoot in two weeks; do I still remember how? |
09:55 | If an article's title asks a question, the answer is invariably "no". Besides, you're comparing phones & tablets. http://t.co/x4NBfP03 |
11:53 | I've read a lot about the al-Awlaki killing, but @joshtmp's piece is the first that aligns with my own thoughts. http://t.co/fgOl7L7b |
19:47 | Nothing I like better is climbing long stairways in the rain, carrying my camera and lighting gear. Good thing the shoot was indoors. |

14:08 | @paulandstorm I like anchovies. But not, I grant, when I'm expecting ice cream. |
19:29 | Made an executive decision and bought a label printer, since that's all I used my color printer for. It was *really* cheap, another feature. |
20:47 | Weird. Started watching a DVD of a favorite old movie from the 50s called World Without End. I had no idea it was in color! |

11:24 | Amazon demonstrates yet again (as with HP) that the best way to succeed with a non-iPad tablet is to sell them below cost. |
11:27 | Having been redshirted in a @barryeisler novel, I really need one of these: http://t.co/I3N5yjYM |
13:31 | If Amazon uses its profits on content to subsidize its tablet, why couldn't Apple fight back by subsidizing its content (books, music)? |
13:56 | @scapersuse It's an old, sad story. Check out paragraph 4 of this review: http://t.co/8H2LYGs8 |
13:58 | @barryeisler I'll want you to autograph my red shirt when it arrives. |
14:07 | @scapersuse Definitely. Although he beat one friend to death with a bicycle in his previous book. I died quietly offstage. It is to weep. |

14:56 | AT&T, your customer support line sucks. Kept me waiting, then hung up on me. Not feeling the love, or the support. |

04:52 | Fire alarm last night at the hotel. Didn't have to evacuate, but it certainly interrupted my night's sleep. Groggy all day, I fear. |
04:53 | Leaving CA in a few hours. Sad. Changing planes at DFW, then home to CA. Glad. |
05:47 | RT @ebertchicago: Rick Perry has "Electile Dysfunction?" Now there's a phrase that could catch on. http://t.co/94gUbzIK [Hee!] |
07:36 | On the bus to the airport, way too early for my flight. WiFi on the way; how very civilized. |
09:17 | Pearson Airport in Toronto has free WiFi and outlets in the seats. Oh, Canada. You make me weep for (most of) America. |
09:34 | @scapersuse Tired. Fire alarm at 1:30am. Didn't have to evacuate, but took long time to fall asleep. At the airport enjoying free WiFi. |
09:37 | @scapersuse It's about 3 hours from now. The bus ride took a while, but check-in & Customs were quick. So now I listen to audiobooks. |
09:38 | @scapersuse Yeah, and I was so looking forward to a good night's sleep! That Murphy's Law guy's a real vicious sod. |
09:47 | Met my first Saskatchewanian on the workshop. Ron would have easily fit in on Dog River. And yes, I know it's not a real place. #cornergas |
09:56 | @scapersuse They warned me to allow 2 hours for Customs. Still, between WiFi and my iDevices, I'll be okay. Wish I wasn't going home yet. |
11:06 | @My_Cast You're welcome. Thanks for building such a great iPhone app! |
11:11 | Bigots are pissed that they're being discriminated against for their bigotry. Shocking, I know. http://t.co/2NVS1uZk |
11:52 | Flight to DFW is delayed. So far my connection to SFO isn't at risk. So far. |
14:41 | @KeriSterling Sounds good. Think they'll deliver to 38,000 feet? |
14:45 | @scapersuse I think it'll be okay. And if it isn't, it could mean a night in Dallas. Not exactly the end of the world. (Typed at 38k feet) |
16:30 | Just landed at DFW. Still an hour before my next flight. |
17:07 | Connection to SFO is 38 min late. Wish I'd known before I bought that unimpressive tuna sandwich. |
17:19 | @scapersuse No worries. At least I got to eat. It's a long way to the Left Coast. |
18:10 | On the plane. Still a whole lot of hours to go. (You can tell my endurance is running out, can't you?) |
21:54 | A flight with no WiFi? How did I survive? And yet I did. |

08:34 | Just got the email: I'm now permanent Platinum in American Airlines' frequent flyer program. Worship me. |
08:53 | @scapersuse Good thing I brought an umbrella *and* a raincoat. |

06:19 | Free Wifi at SFO? About damn time. Thank you, AmEx for the sponsored access! |
06:21 | 50%? 1%? The point still stands! (Oh, Nikki.) http://t.co/bpWb0i6l |
06:39 | On the plane to LAX. Then I get to kill some time before the long flight to Toronto. |
09:46 | I can see WiFi but no power from SFO to LAX, but to Toronto? Hope my battery holds out... |
09:55 | Just remembered to turn data roaming off on my phone. Don't want to think about the bill. *shudder* |
11:09 | Inflight WiFi was $10 at the start of the flight. Now it's $13. Howcum? Good thing I bought it early. |
12:49 | Flight is bumpy. Make it stop, please. |
16:36 | My cheap hotel room turns out to be perfectly nice. And there's even free Internet. Wired, even! |
16:37 | @sledge149 I'm guessing it has something to do with the size and cost of the cast. But I agree it sucks. Love Eureka. |
