Here are the things I am willing to confess to having done today:

• 00:02 @wilw Oh man, I hate it when the restaurant you want to go to is gone when you get there. It's happened to me. Very embarrassing. #
• 00:31 Weird. I've just received notice I'm being followed by @wwia - "Who's Who in America". From the URL in the profile, they're the real deal. #
• 00:32 I've been followed by anime conventions, realtors, used car dealerships...and now "Who's Who"? Weeeeird. #
• 00:52 Law of unintended consequences. Remember that law about lead in kids' products? It also affects ATV dealers. bit.ly/EdtAl #
• 00:54 @cubiclequeen I think Wall-E should win Best Picture. Unfortunately, it wasn't nominated. #
• 12:18 @shayKARTH Not a follower, but I have an "Airbender" search column set up in TweetDeck. Awesome show. #
• 14:05 2 new comments today on "TeleRead" and more bit.ly/sCnf #
• 16:34 I seem to be rather cynical today. I've just defenestrated a Cory @Doctorow column. bit.ly/11Hpjn #
• 16:39 @Stovohobo I have that. It's really good. You might want to check out "The Annotated Watchmen": bit.ly/12dBzl #
• 16:41 @derickp "real WT"? What does that stand for? #
• 17:02 The plans for my surgery proceed apace. My Dad will be making the appointment for it tomorrow. Key word: "Taylor spatial frame." #
• 18:58 Is there anybody out there who knows me well enough to want to be part of my LinkedIn network? #
• 19:14 Oscars minus fifteen. (Skipping the silly "red carpet" pre-show.) #
• 19:37 I'm a little surprised by how talented Jackman is. Perhaps I shouldn't be. #
• 19:50 Gee, I *wonder* who's going to win for Best Animated Feature. I just wonder. Yeah. #
• 19:54 Steve Martin is one of those rare people who can move you to laughter just by APPEARING. #
• 20:04 Anybody seriously think Wall-E is NOT going to win the Oscar? Yeah, didn't think so. #
• 20:49 @Shortpacked Who is it? For what? #
• 20:55 @tombrazelton It's Beyonce me. #
• 20:56 Not Zombies, but... bit.ly/XycYE #
• 20:57 When are we going to see some of the noms for Best Song performed? Don't they usually sprinkle them through the show? #
• 21:00 @tombrazelton Well, it worked for Joss Whedon... #
• 21:03 @tombrazelton It tells you whether your hash is still safe to eat... OK OK, it's an automatic search term. See www.hashtags.org #
• 21:06 Walken still looks creepy. What else is new. #oscars #
• 21:08 It's gonna be Ledger. ... yeah, I knew it. It's hard to beat the popularity boost you get from being dead. #oscars #
• 21:34 @tcallinan You should use TweetGrid.com to follow #Oscars #
• 21:37 #oscars What I want to know is, where are the best song nominees? Don't they usually stagger those through the show? #
• 21:52 #oscars Awww, they're playing the best track from Wall-E. #
• 21:53 @tbenz He also scored The Incredibles. The best Bond score since Barry, and it wasn't even a Bond movie. #Oscars #
• 21:57 #oscars Best Song. I would like to think Wall-E has a chance of winning this one, but the way the evening's been going, it probably won't. #
• 21:58 #oscars Who's this John Legend guy? Where's Peter Gabriel? :( #
• 22:01 #oscars Now why did I just know it would be another Slumdog win? It's just lucky for Wall-E that Slumdog wasn't also animated... #
• 22:05 *googles Peter Gabriel's snit-fit* Aha. bit.ly/i8NAp #Oscars #
• 22:12 #oscars They cut the nominated songs to a 3:30 montage, but give Queen Latifah a whole song. There ain't no justice. #
• 22:13 #oscars And they also play around with putting the montage on an inset instead of the whole screen, so you have trouble reading captions. #
• 22:16 @gwenix I'm sure the dead people appreciated it, too. #oscars #
• 22:17 #oscars RT @tombrazelton: She shouldn't be signing. They're splitting focus between her performance and those they're honoring. #
• 22:24 #oscars You know, it explains a lot about this year's Oscars that last year's were an all-time ratings low. #
• 22:25 #oscars All the format changes. No opening spoof video, the smushed nommed song montage, a host who sings more than he hosts, and so on. #
• 22:26 @madysondesigns #Oscars Re Gabriel: bit.ly/i8NAp #
• 22:30 @scootdown Speaking of creepy, Sophia Loren. #Oscars #
• 22:33 #oscars Though by this time next year, I bet there *will* be Oscars shampoo bottles... #
• 22:40 #oscars That shot of Po the Panda in the blued-out background is so distracting every time it appears. #
• 22:41 #Oscars Brad Pitt, expatriate of #SGF... #
• 22:51 #oscars Confusing montage of current nominees and past winners. WTH??? #
• 22:53 #Oscars Slumdog again. About to have a heart attack and die of not-surprise. #
• 22:55 #oscars Was there no Best Director award? Or is it not separate from Best Picture anymore? Or did I just miss it? #
• 23:10 I'm thrilled that the NZ legislation is being pushed back. But do you really think it was your #blackout that made the difference? #
• 23:11 #blackout Rather than, say, people writing letters and physically protesting and doing things, rather than turn-your-icon-dark slacktivism? #
• 23:12 @mascell Odd. I hadn't even heard of it until yesterday. Though I did wonder why people's icons had gone black. #blackout #
• 23:16 #oscars I'm starting to doubt the Oscars' relevance. Seems like their picks are diverging further away from the stuff people actually WATCH. #
