| 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 |

| 16:53 | @thinkgeek Thanks for making it happen. Hope mine arrives in time for #jococruisecrazy. |
| 16:58 | @thinkgeek *snif* back at ya. I take it I should leave some room in my bags for TG goodies... |
| 17:48 | RT @hellobuglers: Got a luminous ball? If so, either take it to New Orleans immediately. Or consult a doctor. Immediately. [Love The Bugle.] |
| 18:37 | @AnneWheaton I'm sure he'll show it to you when you get home. (Hundreds of times.) |
| 19:24 | @alwayscoffee No good way to reply to that one. Just imagine me wiggling my eyebrows. |

| 08:03 | @wilw Maybe not as much fun as you guys; you were clearly having a blast! But it was great from the audience too. See you on the boat. |
| 10:27 | What you missed at #w00tstock last night: http://t.co/VCRJh3n2 Also @paulandstorm's version of @jonathancoulton's Baby Got Back. |
| 11:06 | @dndgirl Or @paulandstorm's cover of @jonathancoulton's cover of @GLEEonFOX's cover of @jonathancoulton's cover. Same difference. |
| 11:09 | RT @ThatSusanBurke: Oh great, I watched one episode of Sons of Anarchy and now Netflix thinks I'm white trash. [That's all it takes.] |
| 11:15 | Before #w00tstock last night I saw someone in a Wesley Crushers bowling shirt. Didn't know @thinkgeek had them. Perfect for #jccc3! @wilw |

| 17:09 | A little Italian dinner, and then #w00tstock. So excited! |
| 17:32 | RT @wilw: Working up something with @paulandstorm for tonight's #w00tstock that is incredibly amusing to us. [Oh boy!] |
| 19:11 | It has begun. http://t.co/OH2oqwnI |
| 23:41 | Just back from #w00tstock at @sfsketchfest. My throat hurts from laughing. Thanks to @wilw @paulandstorm @donttrythis @nerdist. |

| 07:48 | BBC asks RIM's European MD, "Have you learned anything from the iPhone?" Hysterical and sad. http://t.co/mniCsUcK |
| 07:49 | RT @TPMLiveWire: RIM Renames Itself "BlackBerry" [Yeah, that's been their problem all along: naming.] http://t.co/mZVNvloe via @carlfranzen |
| 18:44 | RT @joshtpm: Why have drivers licenses when the criminals will just drive without them? #nralogic [Yeah!] |

| 20:59 | @petersagal Regarding your last show's Not My Job, SMERSH was not fictional at all. You're probably thinking of SPECTRE. @waitwait |

| 07:25 | RT @hallublin: Thank you San Francisco for another great year for @ThrillingAdv at @SFSketchfest! [Thanks to Hal and the rest of the cast!] |
| 07:29 | 2 @ThrillingAdv shows back to back was almost too much. But only almost. If you haven't heard the podcast, do it now. (Loved @autumnreeser.) |
| 16:58 | Back from @sfsketchfest show with @yakkopinky & @mauricelamarche. These two are warm, funny & infinitely approachable. Great time, guys. |

| 11:01 | Nothing else going on in SF, so I'm treating myself to a showing of Les Miserables. We will see if treating is the right word. |
| 11:28 | This theatre just ran a preview of an ad. A car ad. A Superbowl car ad. When did things get this weird? |
| 14:24 | I loved Les Miz so much. It helps that I love it as a play as well. Or maybe I just needed a good cry. |
| 14:53 | @HelloTheFuture I loved the whole thing. Helps that I'm such a fan of the stage version, but I thought it was brilliant. |
| 16:03 | @Lomara @rayhill @Agent_Akin I don't know that we've met. Ray, were you on #jccc2? (Yes, I'll be on #jccc3.) |
| 16:13 | @rayhill I'm sure you already know this, but be prepared to have an amazing time. Great people, both onstage and in the audience. #jccc3 |
| 16:24 | @Lomara @rayhill Yes, both @mariancall and @Molly23 were part of the entertainment last year. http://t.co/tmIceEqz |
| 18:41 | In my seat for @ThrillingAdv at @sfsketchfest. Front row center. Yes, I am bragging. |
| 18:44 | @PFTompkins Is that a king hat? A King of Coffee hat? @ThrillingAdv |
| 21:03 | Back in the lobby after tonight's first @ThrillingAdv show. It was fantastic! Will the second show measure up? |

| 06:14 | My @sfsketchfest weekend starts! @PFTompkins tonight, @ThrillingAdv tomorrow (x2!), @yakkopinky on Sunday. So much fun! |
| 10:48 | There's a big difference between what's legal and what's right, and @GLEEonFOX went way over the line. http://t.co/KynjDz0a |
| 14:01 | Read about @GLEEonFOX, @JonathanCoulton, and Double Secret Exposure. #shhh! http://t.co/a1TQzeo8 |
| 19:01 | In line for @PFTompkins at @sfsketchfest. Wonder if he brought a king hat. |
| 22:39 | Back from the @PFTompkins show. It was amazing as I expected. Now I can relax in my SF hotel before playing tourist tomorrow. |

| 10:41 | A new #LearningTown and a new http://t.co/PwSdil89? Tuesday morning may just be my favorite weekday morning! |
| 11:50 | Three days until @sfsketchfest. Seventeen until I leave for Orlando and #JCCC3. Not that I'm getting excited or anything. |
| 15:36 | Is Oracle a scummy company? Well, if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, It's probably a duck. http://t.co/p4M1aSqa |
| 20:59 | Another accepted truth that isn't: serif fonts are not more readable than sans serif. Crap facts from crap studies. http://t.co/4uVsYZT5 |

| 20:38 | Want irony? My jock of a CEO scheduled our Sales kickoff to start Feb 4th. Which means the salescritters travel on Superbowl Sunday. Oopsy. |

| 05:31 | A cold wet day in NYC. Drowning my sorrows with a pastrami omelet at the Carnegie Deli. Fly home this afternoon. |
| 05:38 | Yum. http://t.co/ROrvyanq |
| 07:45 | Learning Town is awesome! @paulandstorm channel Meatloaf! I'm Twitter-shouting! http://t.co/kPI4ngnI |
| 09:12 | Took subway to AirTrain to JFK instead of kamikaze taxi. Slower, but much cheaper & lower stress. |
| 10:29 | @brettglass Depending on traffic, taxi isn't much faster. Trip by train wasn't bad at all. |
| 10:34 | I like Apple Maps a lot. But transit directions in Google Maps for iPhone are pretty fantastic for getting around NYC. Nice to have both. |
| 11:13 | Why does my gate list a flight to São Paulo, Brazil? Not that I would mind going, but my passport is back at home. |
| 12:08 | On my plane to SFO. Missed an upgrade by 2 slots. Sad. |

| 05:45 | The good things about a 7am Sunday flight: no traffic, short line through Security. Otherwise I'd rather still be in bed. |
| 05:55 | Today's surprise: I was precleared for Security. I got to keep my shoes & jacket through the metal detector. They got to not see me naked. |
| 14:12 | In my hotel in midtown Manhattan after a harrowing taxi ride. Stress begins the moment I leave the airport... |
| 15:31 | RT: @wilw: Holy crap. http://t.co/H93rSqlU is a thing and it is glorious. (via @scarlettjen) [I owe you, @wilw. I owe you big.] |

| 16:26 | Manage to pack 3 days worth of stuff into my carryon for NYC trio, including my DSLR. Impressive, I'd say. |
| 20:04 | Loading up my iPad with reading material. I found enough free books for a whole bunch of trips. http://t.co/BmUHf93S |

| 06:29 | @alwayscoffee Is it wrong that I love the sound of your voice, even when you're being hostile as hell? Because I do. |
| 06:40 | @alwayscoffee It was my first chance to hear you speak, Ali. Your voice is younger and sweeter than I anticipated. Just lovely. |
| 06:42 | A beautiful piece on extremist loon Robert Bork. To bork someone is to defeat them with their own awfulness. http://t.co/WyDa2oVe |
| 15:23 | Just sent in my Time Off request for next month. Seems I have this little cruise thing coming up. And yes, there will be pictures. #jccc3 |
| 20:18 | Enjoying a concert by @Molly23 and @TheDoubleclicks. Comics shops make great music venues. Quelle surprise! |
| 22:17 | At her concert with @TheDoubleclicks, @Molly23 sang the Nations of the World. @yakkopinky would have been so proud. |

| 09:37 | Embarrassing. http://t.co/W4TXwu3I |
| 11:30 | On the plane to Denver, late departing as I expected. Seatmate taking more than his allotted space. Gonna be a long flight. |

| 06:04 | Is it wrong of me to hope North Korea refuses to let Google's Eric Schmidt (my ex-boss at Sun) go? Not that I would hope that. |
| 12:11 | Think I'll use my iPhone for tomorrow's boarding pass on United. I mean, what could go wrong? |

| 12:01 | Stopped in Palo Alto for breakfust (yes, that's how they spell it) and to pick up my now repaired MacBook Pro. So far it's working great. |
| 12:02 | MBP panic moment. Photoshop still said GPU is broken. Looks like old state; I reenabled and it's working just fine. Fingers crossed. |
| 20:58 | Watching "You've Got Mail" and thinking it's the book superstore that'll be going out of business about now. Tom Hanks as Jeff Bezos? |
