12:18 | This post about @Progressive Insurance makes a case for buying from someone else. Like @21stCenturyAuto for example. http://t.co/tiCUd6pg |
16:50 | BIG BANG THEORY's @simonhelberg and tiny @jocelyntowne sell @TheSelling http://t.co/tU2xEHdv I bought in; how about you? |

07:19 | RT @pourmecoffee: Romney got Bained by conservatives. They invested in him, loaded him up with their debts, and put in their own guy. [Yep.] |
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. |

11:06 | RT @TheTweetOfGod: Damn you Autocorrect! I just mistakenly sent 10,000 people to he'll. [That's my kind of deity.] |
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 |

10:26 | Stupid Drupal. Have to Google to find out how to log out? #OpenSourceFail |

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 |

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. |

11:59 | @PFTompkins Great extrasode, Paul. I wish this Chick-fil-a business was just about gay marriage, but it's much more. http://t.co/GjhbT9QV |
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". |
13:38 | Douglas Adams provides an object lesson in censorship producing better (or at least funnier) art. http://t.co/JJiuk9Jg |

17:41 | RT @TheStevenWeber: http://t.co/iy1Y3TrY [That darn spell checker!] |
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. |

10:39 | Seems Apple didn't copy Sony; Sony actually copied Apple. Poor deluded Samsung. Or are they just lying liars? http://t.co/XIssXfJk |
18:31 | Why this Chick-fil-A business is about a whole lot more than free speech. http://t.co/GjhbT9QV |

06:36 | Oh boy! @reduced is coming to the Bay Area October 27th. Just got my ticket. Sure hope they're amusing... |
06:49 | @Ebeebee71 Thanks, but I know @reduced very well, going back to CA Ren Faire days. Have seen all their shows except Christmas. |
06:50 | RT @froonium: Oz actor/writer/raconteur Jonathan Hardy, voice of Rygel and soul of #Farscape, has passed away at the age of 71. [Too young.] |
11:00 | Once again, the coverup is far more damaging than the lie. http://t.co/sY3BN1jL |
20:41 | So does this mean Mitt's cool with socialized medicine for all Jews, or just Israeli Jews? http://t.co/yvtpcLuA |

06:59 | Up way too early, checked out of hotel, car returned, through Security & now at the gate for San Jose flight. Tired, as you might guess. |
07:03 | Ridiculous long line at Starbucks stand. I'm thirsty, but I'm not *that* thirsty. |
07:06 | @alwayscoffee but... The line... Too many hobbitses. Hates hobbitses. Hate. |
07:24 | Just got a call from Southwest: my flight is leaving from gate 9. Huh. I didn't know we were leaving from any other gate. |
08:12 | RT @joshtpm: Cheney: Picking Palin Was A 'Mistake' http://t.co/zoiRL0Xp via @TPMLivewire [From the Duh Department] |
18:32 | RT @counternotions: March 15, 1985. The first domain name bought: http://t.co/XcH1WER3. [My employer back then. Thought we'd change world.] |
19:12 | Just learned that Jonathan Hardy has died. He gave Farscape's Rygel XVI voice, and was both inspiring and funny in person. We'll miss him. |
20:02 | @HelloTheFuture Entirely my pleasure, Nicole. (If I had to rely on my art, I'd starve too.) Can't wait to catch up on #jococruisecrazy3. |
20:05 | @HelloTheFuture Good to know. I assumed you were playing on the cliche rather than being literal. Happy to know I was right. |

08:15 | Off to LA for a screening this afternoon of @iamthefilm by @jocelyntowne. I helped pay for it. Sure hope I like it. |
14:07 | The problem lunching in West Hollywood is that I reduce the attractiveness average dramatically the moment I walk in. |
15:31 | @Lomara Just til tomorrow morning. Have an event later back in San Jose. |
17:52 | My celebrity encounter. http://t.co/IfeXEoZa |
19:08 | @iamithefilm was lovely. Well made and heartfelt. @jocelyntowne and @simonhelberg should be proud. |
19:16 | 1st time in ages I'm traveling sans laptop. Feels weird. I like traveling light, & my iPad is a good substitute. But I miss my whole env. |

18:01 | Started downloading Mountain Lion before I left for work this morning. Installing on my Mac Mini now. If it works, MacBook Pro is next. |
19:27 | First problem with Mountain Lion: External drive got mounted read-only. Minutes to figure out, seconds to fix. |

06:47 | Yakko's Universe to be covered by @mariancall? That'll be cool. Even better would be a duet with @yakkopinky. Nerdvana. |
11:30 | And I thought our visit to Glacier Bay was cool. Holy shit! http://t.co/f0IZXBhj |
13:05 | Just shipped my brand new camera off to Nikon for repair. Not happy. |

06:31 | Back in Seattle. Off the boat in 2 hours. Then a tour before my flight home. |
08:14 | Leaving my cabin for the last time, I hear a passenger yell "oh fuck!" Clearly I'm having a better day than he is. |
10:31 | Taking a little cruise in Seattle before I head to the airport. http://t.co/GzQFQ8cZ |
15:35 | On my plane. Two hours to San Jose, get my bag, get my car, get home. |

09:41 | Ketchikan. Gray, chilly and soggy. Finally we gave real Alaska weather. Canada tomorrow, then Seattle and home on Saturday. |
09:42 | Real photographers don't let a little rain stop them. Clearly, I am not a real photographer. http://t.co/U1e2y0vL |
14:03 | Leaving Ketchikan. Next stop, Victoria, BC. |

00:34 | FInally in my hotel. And looks like my laptop charging problem at SJC was at their end, since the charger's working now. Excellent. |
08:12 | @pourmecoffee Who's a bigger unitard than Mitt? |
08:25 | Car coming at 11 to take me to the boat. That leaves 2.5 hours to kill in a particularly anti-scenic part of Washington State. |
09:14 | So Mitt Romney is a selfish insensitive asshole. But is he the selfish insensitive asshole America needs? (Oh hell no.) |
11:44 | Checked in and waiting to board. http://t.co/NQTtnTFW |
12:11 | Boarding time. Hello, Westerdam. We meet again at last... http://t.co/P4PnPN0y |
13:50 | Two Bloody Marys later, my holiday has truly begun. |
14:15 | Okay, so I'm on the Westerdam. WhereTF are @paulandstorm and @wilw? Not the same without them. |
14:26 | Last cruise had 550 Sea Monkeys. This one has 600 devout Christians. Oh Lord, why hast thou forsaken me? |
