Tweets for Today
Jan. 18th, 2009 01:17 amHere are the things I am willing to confess to having done today:
- 06:16 Why is it I don't want to get up on the weekdays but wake early on the weekend? Why can't it be the other way around? #
- 06:32 bit.ly/Nu3S - trying out this map link thing. #
- 07:55 Lessons to be taken from Circuit City's bankruptcy: tinyurl.com/a2q3jc #
- 08:32 twitpic.com/13sjc - My cats are really interested by the birds landing in the tree-bush thing outside the window. They sit there ... #
- 09:12 Walt Mossberg and the Scrollmotion fallacy: tinyurl.com/9vjjo2 #
- 09:23 Oh good. Found my green shoulder bag in the top of my closet. I'd been worried; will need it for carrying stuff at the con next week. #
- 09:33 Trying out TweetDeck on my desktop. Looks interesting enough, but I still wonder what all the fuss is about. #
- 09:40 @kerner Mmm, Gailey's. That's a tasty place. Kinda costly though. #
- 10:01 Just got a call from @sandyclaus, he'll be picking me up for some brunch + shopping shortly. #
- 10:09 Hmm, I wonder if Circuit City in #SGF is in liquidation yet. Just phoned them, no answer. Wanted to stop by if they're starting their sale. #
- 10:20 Breakfast at Anton's. Yum! #
- 11:14 That was tasty. On to shopping! #
- 11:44 twitpic.com/13vgu - Local Circuit City parking lot. #
- 11:49 twitpic.com/13vjd - Circuit City checkout line #
- 11:58 twitpic.com/13vnx - Circuit City clearance discounts #
- 12:01 twitpic.com/13vp6 - Circuit City line again #
- 12:03 Trying to escape Circuit City parking lot. #
- 13:00 Done shopping at Target; in line behind @sandyclaus's wife for checkout. #
- 13:08 twitpic.com/13wuv - @sandyclaus with my groceries #
- 13:22 Heat registers purchased at Lowe's to the tune of $25. Wonder if I could get my landlord to reimburse me. Worth a try. #
- 13:43 Home, home again. I like to be here when I can. #
- 13:59 Listening to the remastered version of Floyd's "Dark Side," on sale @ Amazon MP3 this weekend for $5 (source @wilw) #
- 14:01 #SGF Yeah, I know. But that hasn't stopped crowds of people from going to fill the store. twitpic.com/13vjd twitpic.com/13vp6 #
- 14:07 @bloggers_guide And by saying that you're doing so, you're breaking one of the cardinal rules Pogue lists in the article. Ironic, innit? :) #
- 14:08 @bloggers_guide (Well, OK, I thought you were referring to Pogue's article, which other people are tweeting lately. But still.) #
- 14:23 @landonlewis Go to pandora.com, create a station with your favorite artists, and make a note of the other artists whose music plays. #
- 14:59 @landonlewis Then try browsing other people's Pandora stations. For example, here's one of mine: bit.ly/hROZ #
- 15:04 @erin_zieren I'd be happy to come over, except you have no idea who I am. :) #
- 15:05 @wilw That didn't stop @DavidPogue from coming up with his own rules. :) #
- 15:06 @kplawver Thanks for the kind words. :) #
- 15:07 @chris_radcliff Heh, thanks for the tweet. :) #
- 15:22 @DerickP Heh. You were just a few hundred feet from where I live/am, then. :) #
- 15:33 @HenryMelton Good thing I've already replied to you this month. If I hadn't, then I might be worried about now. (Oh, wait...) #
- 15:37 @HenryMelton Pardon me? #
- 15:46 @henrymelton Oh, the leg! Thought you meant cast like of a TV show. No cast, break was too near the joint. Just a leg brace. #
- 15:55 Ficlets is dead; long live Ficly - tinyurl.com/8k4nuj #
- 16:04 Cranking up Pandora as "Long Cool Woman" by the Hollies plays. (Yes, I know, I could just play it in iTunes any time I wanted, but...) #
- 16:12 @davidpogue xkcd.com/528/ #
- 16:20 @simplicissimus Thanks for the tweet! :) #
- 16:24 @semiapies It is if you haven't been getting enough sleep lately! #
- 17:12 @jafurtado Hey, thanks for the tweet of my blog post! #
- 17:33 @DerickP My GPS is in my profile. #
- 17:35 @techwatching Thanks for the tweet of my post! #
- 17:43 @DerickP Then where are you? Your coords are a couple of degrees off from mine, and incomplete, so I doubt they're accurate… #
- 17:59 @derickp Hey, cool! Wanna come over and watch some animé or a movie or something? :) #
- 18:07 @derickp Aww. OK. Well, let me know when you have time! I'm free most evenings and weekends, except next weekend when I'll be at VisionCon. #
- 18:09 Local SF/fantasy/gaming con. www.visioncon.net #
- 18:28 @aboyandhispiano At only a 10% discount, you'd find better deals on-line. #
- 18:44 Doing the dishes. Bleah. #
- 19:06 @xenijardin Just about every President ends up being disappointing to a lesser or greater extent. That's the nature of politics. #
- 19:08 @emarg0ed Wish I was. Some damn fine drinking there. #
- 19:12 @demiurgent Mouse Power? Have you become some sort of rodent superhero? #
- 19:19 @JustyUeki I could have told you that. #
- 19:20 @JustyUeki Told *him* that, I mean. Bleah, wrong reply link. #
- 19:28 The kids with Nazi names (who couldn't get a b-day cake) have been removed from their home and placed in state custody. bit.ly/TDVh #
- 20:00 @brandoncrain Don't get too excited. These are their discounts, and they're not all that great: twitpic.com/13vnx #
- 20:11 @unknownfilms Your problem is, you're using FaceBook. #
- 20:31 Cripes, how did it get to be 8:30? It was 7:00 just a moment ago. #
- 21:06 Physical therapy time... #
- 21:34 Grr. The annoying thing about TweetDeck is that I always feel the need to check it whenever it beeps. #
- 21:55 If you lived through eighties pop music, you will find this AWESOME. Party like it's 1985. -> bit.ly/XYIi #
- 21:56 (If you didn't, it won't mean anything at all to you. Sorry.) #
- 21:59 My spare bedroom looks like one of those computer games where you have to click on random objects in rooms full of stuff. #
- 22:06 @ShivaeStudios They remind me too much of real life. :) #
- 22:06 twitpic.com/14624 - Here's as much of the mess as I could fit into one frame. Progress reports tomorrow as parents help me clean ... #
- 22:16 @aboyandhispiano Twitpic takes a few minutes when it's sent from a phone. The picture has to crawl through the narrow air-tubes first. #
- 22:23 @sandyclaus That's the general idea. That, and Gorilla shelving. #
- 23:19 @demiurgent maybe next time you should get a bartending guide and go buy ingredients. Be cheaper in the long run... #
- 23:20 Crawling into bed. #
