Maybe this is too meta, but I’d like to ‘follow’ a Trending Topics twitter feed.

Just discovered wikilou.com. STL wiki, most filled out for bands, at first glance.

iPhone’s “ambient light sensor”…I need to test that out. I still don’t think it’s actually doing what they suggest it is, with brightness.

Apple: “iPhone adjusts the screen brightness for current light conditions.” I haven’t seen that discussed, & I doubt it. It uses the camera?

Convenient: paying for a parking ticket online. Inconvenient: Waiting ‘til they enter it in the system, which apparently can take days.

Congrats, @billstreeter, that’s awesome news!

I suppose the early Monday emergencies should stop being a surprise. They’re better than coffee to get me alert and problem-solving.

Watching ESPYs on iPhone, but s3 errors made me switch to Dark Knight on my xBox Live (not in IMAX, wtf?). Ok, that’s every trending topic.

It turns out, installing an air conditioner is a very hot activity.

So with this downtime, assuming s3 doesn’t go down anymore, they’ve lost a full 1% of uptime. Hooray for two 9s!

Cool, s3 is back up, even for our basecamp site, which somehow lagged behind Twitter and Woot. I don’t have to go into the office now.

Very nice 3rd party Amazon services (including s3) status updates: cloudstatus.com

My iPhone app rss feed told me Friend Book is around, but…it doesn’t actually seem to be yet. Maybe soon?

It’s really cool our developers (Luke) made a quick switch to move s3 product images back to Woot servers for times just like these.

s3 down across the web. That’s why you’re not seeing Twitter pics & why we (Woot) switched to hosting our product pics. xrl.us/nakin

I’ve got Gordon Lightfoot’s Sundown song in my head and the lyrics are totally creeping me out.

Oops, actually heading to the royale to pick up my cc left there last night.

Heading to the zoo after realizing Grant’s Farm (RIP?) closes at 4pm.

I want a search wildcard meaning “proposition”. It’d help when I’m trying to search for Woot mentions that mean us and not the exclamation.

REJECTED wine label: Health claims are not permitted on labels. You must remove ‘sustains and invigorates the body, enhances morale.’

Watching my brother get his picture taken standing in a cooler, swinging Elvis’s head and I can’t say why.

Up entirely too early for another 1 day, 2 flight trip. Ugh.

Ugh, accidentally followed all followers. Now I have to figure out who I actually know and want to follow.

Looking forward to dining with wine.woot director tonight…hopefully Revival has a good wine list.
