Finally beat the iPhone Civ Rev game on Emperor (difficulty 4 of 5). Not ready to try Deity yet.

I wish there were a Twitter leaderboard for Most Mentions. Pretty sure I’d win, though no one’s really talking to me.

I wish I could get cable tv with just FSMW (baseball), home garden network (real estate intervention & TCM (the robot vs. The Aztec mummy).

Maybe Lincecum’s Cy Young win with 15 Ws will help media start conversations about why we bother with a Win stat. (@dgoold @matthewhleach)

It’s odd playing a popular game in a city where no one else plays: mayor of The Royale, King & I, Lemongrass, Gelateria, a Bread Co & Woot.

Today I am thankful that none of the current Woot site names have descenders. That makes logo placement a lot easier.

When everyone talks about childhood being a time and place where we had ‘not a care in the world’ I feel like maybe I was doing it wrong.

Aftermath of Book Title costume party: Recycling crew decided not to recycle the dunce cap with a Confederate flag & left it on the grass.

Microsoft refers to Edward Tufte as “their inventor” (http://tr.im/FikP) & then tries to patent sparklines (http://tr.im/Fil7).

Pleasant evening of popcorn buffet & Pee-Wee with pals. & we got rid of 22 PBRs & 14 Schlaflys! Only 22 PBRs & 12 Schlaflys to go.

Hooray for Gmail’s “Sending has been undone” ability. (Sent an email reply requesting something that was just lower down in that email.)

I weighed myself three times this morning and got different weights, depending on where in the room the scale was. #localGravity

When I die, I’d like to find out if I would’ve won anything had I checked out every ‘instant win’ sweepstakes I’d seen.

Just spoke with a pleasant fellow who works at Google & he pronounced beta to rhyme with meta! (re: tr.im/Fauo) Also: he’s Greek.

Odd. I lost the ability to ctrl-shift-arrow (select a word). Ctrl-arrow works (to move 1 word) & shift-arrow works (to select a letter).

I think of Remote Control as the 1st MTV venture into non-music TV. Loved it as a kid, it seemed like a slightly more grown-up Double Dare.

I would watch a show called The Next The Next Iron Chef Judge.

All right, I’ve had it. Meta and beta need to rhyme. They just do.

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.
