| 19:30 | Today I spent four hours loading PDFs onto hundreds of USB drives. FML. |
| 21:42 | Via @froonium, 10 different ways #Farscape might have ended. (I miss Moya. And Pilot. Okay, and Chiana. And Jool.) |

| 11:31 | An iPhone that falls on its back? Couldn't you just tape it to a cat? Or a piece of toast with jelly? http://t.co/ePbKMzGYVh |
| 16:06 | I miss Animaniacs. http://t.co/u44Ml83gl4 |
| 18:13 | Is it wrong that I want these guys punished for abusing the DMCA takedown process? http://t.co/lXlBQiY6eE |
| 18:21 | @Elise_Logan Glad we're on the same page. |

| 08:32 | Watching Karl Rove and Sarah Palin savage each other shouldn't be this much fun. It shouldn't be, but it is. http://t.co/HrE1XHIy7g |
| 15:36 | My DSL router's been malfunctioning, so I'm finally upgrading to an IPv6-capable router. Took a few minutes, but I'm back. But for how long? |
| 18:17 | RT @counternotions: "My Amazon bestseller made me nothing" http://t.co/e5hN74W2Ax [Makes me feel better about my puny photography earnings.] |

| 19:34 | Via @counternotions, how O'Reilly the reliably wonderful tech book publisher has lost its way. Beyond sad. http://t.co/UpY8j9AerY |
| 19:49 | @brettglass Particularly of interest to me, since my VP is pushing me to write an ebook for O'Reilly. |
| 21:12 | Riddle me this, Mac folk: why doesn't my MBP see OS updates until days after my Mac Mini? Load balancing on Apple's servers? |
| 21:22 | @YaleStewart Maybe not, but you have fans. That's good too. |

| 12:30 | Senator Ted Cruz isn't just a sanctimonious jerk about the Constitution. He's also wrong. http://t.co/HL5PGSupXE |

| 12:50 | 2nd day lying around hating life. Worst part is feeling okay until I try to do something. Not how I planned to spend the weekend. |

| 07:12 | Pretty enthusiastic crowd at my Java User Group talk in Oakland last night. Made it worth the endless traffic on I-880. |

| 06:49 | Trade show today. This time it's local: O'Reilly (the tech publisher, not the blowhard) Strata Conference at Santa Clara Convention Center. |
| 06:51 | More Strata booth duty tomorrow, and then Java User Group talk in Oakland tomorrow night. http://t.co/ydBtUiUIpo |
| 13:39 | My goal for the day: to get to the end without quitting. No, make that my goal for the week. |

| 10:08 | At work. The only thing keeping me from quitting and going on another cruise is the lack of Sea Monkeys on board. #jccc3 |
| 10:08 | "Indy, why does the floor move?" Maybe he spent a week on a cruise ship too. #jccc3 |
| 10:09 | A little glitch in the processing, but I am now preregistered for #jccc4. #jccc3 |
| 16:50 | The best card game ever has a theme song by The Doubleclicks. How awesome is that! http://t.co/tYVCOzs4 |

| 06:42 | @HelloTheFuture Miss you too, doll. Glad we all had such a grand time together. |
| 07:51 | Really, Mississippi? Only 150 years after the rest of the country, you finally agree that slavery was wrong? You bleeding heart liberals. |
| 11:28 | Finally got my MacBook Pro back. The bad news: it has a new, wiped hard drive. The good news: I have a backup and it was under warranty. |
| 11:29 | The only problem with cruising the Caribbean with my Sea Monkey friends? Reentry into the normal world sucks. #jccc3 |
| 12:34 | MacBook Pro restored from backup. Hoping I won't have any troubles for the foreseeable future. |

| 05:50 | My cruise is done. Anything happen while I was offline? #jccc3 |
| 11:53 | Just ran into Mike Phirman & John Roderick at the airport. Thanked them for an amazing week. Can't wait for #jccc4! #jccc3 |
| 11:58 | WiFi here at MCO is pretty good once you get on. Getting on? That's a bit of a challenge. |
| 12:52 | I bought a CD of my photos from the cruise. Have to go through software install and then unlock the images. What fresh hell is this? |
| 13:19 | @AnneWheaton Did you have anything to do with the googly eyes on the Best in Terms of Pants trophy's pants? #jccc3 |
| 14:16 | After hours & hours in Orlando Airport, now on my plane to Dallas. Home eventually. |
| 15:29 | Inflight WiFi never ceases to amaze me. And after a week offline, it's fun to catch up. |
| 16:11 | @dndgirl Yeah, me too. So many new friends to meet. |
| 18:15 | Mad dash, but I made my connection. So long, Dallas. See you again some time. |
| 19:39 | Just in case you missed @sfsketchfest #w00tstock & #jccc3, the funniest 35 seconds on the Internet. http://t.co/pV6XzE6E |

| 04:23 | Got talked into letting a homeless Sea Monkey share hotel room last night. He snored. All night. Fsck. |
| 04:24 | @PFTompkins Won't be the same without you, Paul. Next year, I hope. #jccc3 |
| 07:25 | Madness getting everyone on shuttles to the boat. Mine's still a half hour away. #jccc3 |
| 10:19 | The view from Freedom. http://t.co/MBaMBqNj |

| 07:30 | At the gate at LAX. Flight leaves in an hour. Next stop, Orlando. Then Canaveral. #jccc3 |
| 08:10 | @dndgirl See you soon! I'm on my LAX to Orlando flight. Leave in just a few. #jccc3 |
| 11:18 | @alwayscoffee I'll think of your frozen Italian when I leave for the Caribbean tomorrow afternoon. |
| 11:35 | @alwayscoffee That's because it's the *only* mean thing I've ever said to you. Wish you were going with us. |
| 12:47 | So this is Orlando. Okay, it's just a runway in Orlando. But we'll be at the gate in a moment. |
| 14:50 | Pity me. http://t.co/NPqmlJhE |
| 17:44 | After a few hours hanging out with Sea Monkeys, I remember why I've been looking forward to this trip with such intensity. #jccc3 |
| 17:50 | @HelloTheFuture Why the heck aren't you here yet? We've been waiting! #jccc3 |
| 17:53 | @dndgirl I'm there too. Which one are you? |
| 20:37 | @VictoriaDahl You were stunning at 16. Almost as much as you are now. Almost. |

| 06:47 | Week of sales meetings almost done. Then it's off to SFO and (eventually) on a boat to the Caribbean. #jccc3 |
| 14:14 | @reduced Pretension? How about a pretense of actors? #pluralactors |
| 18:08 | At the gate at SFO, way too early as usual. Good news was they checked my bag through to my Orlando flight tomorrow morning. |
| 18:16 | RT @YaleStewart: Enjoy this. For the rest of your days. http://t.co/p7ZYN2eJ [Wow. Just wow.] |
| 21:41 | Arrived at LAX. On my way to the hotel. And tomorrow the adventure begins in earnest. |

| 20:53 | @AnneWheaton As long as I can still get email on weekends, I can live with it. |
| 21:36 | My MacBook Pro is back at Apple getting diagnosed. And I'm back on my ancient MacBook. Should I get a MacBook Air for the trip? |
| 21:47 | "The first rule of being a ninja is Do No Harm! Unless you mean to do harm; then do lots of harm!" How true that is. #tmnt |
