| 06:02 | In my spam trap: "Costco Customers: You're 500.00 Card". No, I'm most certainly not. |
| 06:06 | @alwayscoffee Of course, Ali. At least I'm not a *cheap* cad. |
| 11:54 | @yakkopinky Any chance of getting you on @KPChatShow? @KevinPollak is a great interviewer, and you'd be a great interview. |

| 13:50 | Mitt told classmates how he liked committing felonies. Assholish prank or criminal behavior? Both, probably. http://t.co/Kxtfvrgh |
| 16:59 | Friend's book is $10 in paper, $3 for Kindle version. How can bookstores not follow video stores into oblivion? |
| 21:43 | Now with 80% less crap. http://t.co/FoK6yiDA |

| 08:59 | @TheTweetOfGod Match? Not march? I thought you were infallible. Or is that the Pope? |
| 11:17 | The good guys are really the bad guys? Tricksy hobbits; I *hate* when that happens! http://t.co/zuhopcqH |
| 15:10 | Amazon, you failed me. A month after ordering a PocketWizard III, you can't tell me when it'll arrive. But San Jose Camera could. And did. |
| 22:57 | Played Cards Against Humanity tonight for the first time. I was really good, which is kind of frightening. What kind of monster am I? |
| 22:58 | Also played Rock Band. Did some @JonathanCoulton and a little @PaulandStorm, plus some lesser acts. All in all a good night. |

| 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. |

| 09:19 | Inspired! Holmes & Watson meet Pinky & The Brain. http://t.co/iTxfPJmK |
| 15:48 | My impressions of Cisco from working there were less than positive. Reading this doesn't change that. http://t.co/SsUnMtS1 |

| 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. |

| 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.) |

| 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. |
