Daily Twitter Roundup

[robotech_master]

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

• 00:09 @Pogue I'm not a New Yorker but if noises are giving you trouble try Easy Relax Ultimate for the iPhone. Works awesomely for me. #
• 00:17 @Pogue Yes. Relaxation white noise/binary beats app. I fall asleep with it every night. Just about to do so now in fact. #
• 00:19 @Pogue There are cheaper/free versions w/o the beats, but when the "ultimate" is only $4 it's worth it. #
• 00:28 @pogue Good luck. (Apropos of nothing, my phone thinks your name is either rogue or smite. :) #
• 07:19 RT @Honeymane: also, Obama won the Noble Peace Prize. ._. I like Obama, but damn I wish someone would give me an award for doing nothing. #
• 07:21 @Honeymane Like beer, it's an acquired taste. #
• 07:25 Huh, if I'd known the LCROSS mission was going to hit an hour ago I'd have gotten up early for it. #
• 07:25 RT @demiurgent: This just in: Barak Obama balances checkbook, wins Nobel Prize in Economics. #
• 07:28 I haven't looked at the news to see why the Nobel folks SAY they gave Obama the prize, but I get the feeling it was largely for NOT being W. #
• 08:15 @demiurgent Would serve them right if Google de-listed and stopped indexing them altogether. The Internet silent treatment. #
• 08:20 Courtesy of @megazone, I'd just like to call folks' attention to the last few pre-impact tweets of @LCROSS_NASA. A fitting tribute. #
• 08:26 Weather radar shows the worst of the storm has passed. Great. But now #sgf is behind a cold front and I'm still stuck with shorts. Brrr. #
• 08:40 @doctorow PJ Farmer once wrote an E.R. Burroughs story in the style of Wm. Burroughs. Seeing you mention E.L. kind of reminds me of that. #
• 08:45 Typing "i t s" on an iPhone will always apostrophize, even if you mean "it" possessive. Autocorrect, you have much for which to answer. #
• 08:47 @pogue Hope you slept well. #
• 09:07 @pablod A friend pointed out to me that the Peace Prize is, unlike other Nobels, meant to encourage progress, not reward accomplishment. #
• 09:44 @loudtweeter For some reason my tweets have started double-posting to my LJ in the last couple days. Emailed you about it too. #
• 09:54 Wikipedia: The Nobel Peace Prize may be awarded to persons [...] that are in the process of [...] creating peace. bit.ly/V0T5y #
• 10:37 @jeffkirvin Huh. Where do you plug in the tiny guitar? #
• 10:37 @mmunknownfilms Generally, I turn on my heat when it gets too cold INSIDE. :) #
• 11:38 My latest #TeleRead: AP and News Corp continue to gripe about aggregators, search engines - trunc.it/2h2a4 #
• 12:14 This story puts me in mind of what you'd get if the hero of a @henrymelton novel went bad: trunc.it/2hysq #
• 12:21 @demiurgent @bedheaded How could he? He's already Superman. bit.ly/1zkDlZ #
• 14:48 I hear that @tweetie 2 has been approved. I'm ambivalent. $3 isn't much, but it's annoying on principle after paying for the first one. #
• 15:01 My cat gets so affectionate when I'm out of canned cat food… #
• 15:06 @tweetie So why doesn't T2 support the "RT" retweet format? #
• 16:25 Some of the new features of @tweetie 2 are nice, such as the reorientation at any time. A little annoying RT: is gone though. #
• 16:26 Off to anime meeting. #
• 16:35 There's a black guy here at the bus station with an afro with a long-handled comb stuck in it. Is this some new fashion? #
• 18:58 twitpic.com/kw9xm - What a sky! Wish I had my real camera #
• 19:06 At Panera for soup #
• 19:09 @jeffkirvin What distinction? Retweeting IS quoting someone. #
• 19:17 Am I going to need to make a new bookmarklet to send links to Tweetie 2? Not that I couldn't post them just as well from T1 I guess. #
• 19:39 Heading out again. Catfood to get ere bussing home. #
• 19:43 Here I am, walking several blocks in the cold to buy cat food. I am so catpwned. #
• 20:11 Thought the bus had come but it was just a tow truck. :( Brrrr, freezing. #
• 20:14 @mrswessley I saw two lit ambulances go south past Panera on National, and more dimmed ones. Must have been from that. #
• 20:21 Hmm. Bus 245 on the 25 route tonight. With wifi. For all the 5 minutes I'll be on it. Yay. #
• 20:36 Home at last. #
• 20:37 I really like the Google Map integrated "search nearby" function in #Tweetie2. #
• 20:41 @brandonlansdown @dcreplogle Rendezvous downtown west of the bus transfer station makes a pretty decent Turkish coffee. #
• 21:24 Watching the cats cooperate to take down a vicious…cricket. #
• 21:32 I took the dead cricket away from them and put it in the trash, and now they're sniffing all around where it last was, looking for it. #
• 22:07 Coming up 10/16-18 at #SGF Expo Center #inSGFMO: #SpringfieldGAME nonprofit gaming/SF/convention. www.springfieldgame.com #
• 22:27 You have to love a pickled sausage that lists "beef lips" as one of its ingredients. I can imagine the slogan. "Just like kissing a cow!" #
