Setting up my browser to be on southwest.com, with my confirmation number already typed in, so I can wake up, hit submit, & go to sleep.

I was surprised and impressed with the Coke display at the local grocery store: tr.im/k3Oe

As opposed to this idiotic CNN article: tr.im/k299 with quotes like “7 million people could die”

Finally a relatively reasonable article on swine-flu: tr.im/k27M Answer: You should be freaking out about regular flu, all the time.

I wonder if someone who hates fivethirtyeight.com pays them to have the horrifically disgusting meat ad on the left sidebar all the time.

Ironically, given my last tweet, @__ tells me these Flip cameras were recently on Oprah, where she raved about them.

Most of what I know about Oprah’s show I learned from all the horrible spam and as-seen-on-TV crap that brags of her raving about it.

Tonight, it felt like we have a closer. It has been quite some time since it felt like that.

The best part about Away games: a pleasant evening of baseball as it pours outside.

Ok, coolest thing I’ve seen today: tr.im/jRJ7 Nice job, ESPN. You win.

I like this enigmatic quote from Carpenter on quitting tobacco: “I do have the willpower to do it, and I just haven’t been able to do it.”

“I’d like to get carryout.” She asked “Order for lunch?” & I said yes. She handed me 4 ordered lunches. It took some time to clear that up.

While I don’t know if it would succeed, I’d love to rent the room behind the windmill at Bevo Mill. (via @MayorSlaydotcom, 1 plan is a B&B.)

Favorite typo-hash of the day: #swineful

“However, the U.S. Passport Card cannot be used for international air travel.” I’m confused that anyone bothers with that.

Shopping carts should have a digital readout in the handle displaying scores from that week’s users’ thumbs up/down review buttons.

Researching for an upcoming vacation. Review raves “Impressed with the fact that there was no threat of violence on the island anywhere!!”

Hooked up Directv to the Internet via a couple powerline adaptors, so I can do that OnDemand crap now. First up, Iron Giant!

Slung t-shirts at sports games are much like the woot boc: the only people more disappointed than those who missed it are those who got it.

Pujols stolen base is HUGE. Most of America thinks of him as a home run hitter, and he’s so much more.

Twitter makes me feel like I’m in the pressbox with @fungoes @matthewhleach and @miklasz, except for the inclusive beer and nachos.

Blown defensive save?

I see 55 (schumaker) in left, but it still says Duncan on the scoreboard.

Hugely recommended: left field landing. They won’t let my Cardinals cup empty of beer. And they brought us pasta because we’re vegetarian!

We’re living in the most strongly identifiable and datable pop music era I remember being able to identify while still within it. #Autotune.
