There’s a pic of me wearing a tequila costume & 80s sunglasses, crabwalking across the kitchen. There go my chances of becoming president.

Applying the final touches for this year’s increasingly misnamed Guy Fawkes Day party. Tonight’s theme: book titles. Can’t reveal mine yet.

I was up in the attic gathering some costume-making materials & heard a twinkle sound. I checked my iPhone, but no text. Actual xylophone.

Pandemonium at the drive-thru: the guy in front of me ordered & then drove off. You’d think that’d be easy to explain, but you’d be wrong.

I like that the closed captions for all the intros to NBC shows say [upbeat music].

For a second I thought I’d accidentally loaded up a search on Twitter, but it’s just that every single tweet is emanating #mathowielove.

Can we just start using the old term for viral marketing? Publicity stunt is a good term.

I wonder if Dr. Octopus did his thesis on sealife. I bet he was a communications major.

Amazon’s Payphrase is a cool way to save & easily use multiple cards/shipping addresses, but it’s too scary tying it all to a 4-digit PIN.

Just answered my phone via a systray app on my computer. It’s like the future, but for some reason it feels like a 1980s view of the future.

I’ve decided most environmental disasters are some variation on The Old Woman Who Swallowed A Fly.

Whew, Gmail increased my paid-for storage to 80GB over the free amount (from 10GB). I was at 75% full, so it’s just in time. (16% now!)

So many of my calendar scheduled items are meetings I’ve started omitting the words “Meeting with.” It’s become my default planned activity.

Last night I tried a method of counting sheep using a technique to square numbers under 110. It was fun, but didn’t make me sleepy.

I’m always bummed when soda at a restaurant turns out to be a can. At least I’ve got something to celebrate: twitpic.com/p4swa

So far, so good on Operation Spreadsheet Diet: grab.by/syH (Though I’m set at a measly 0.5 lb/week loss.)

Windows users should get the free MacHeist bundle as it includes TinyGrab, a great simple/automatic screencap solution: grab.by/svN

Facebook seems to have busted comment viewing from their iPhone app & iPhone formatted site tonight, but Brizzly brought it all up nicely.

In 2006 announcer Al Michaels was released from his contract to NBC in exhange for rights to Oswald the Lucky Bunny, a cartoon character.

Surprised to find out people don’t realize good wine improves after hours of being opened (breathing) & decanting isn’t just for sediment.

It’s a revolution around these parts. I’ve been ousted as mayor from my grocery store & 2 bars. I’ll call in the National Guard!
