I love that communication is so easy/simple these days, you can get personal responses, and full conversations from top gurus in your field.

Massive lightning strike woke me up in the night. Must’ve been in the backyard, but no sign of it.

I love believing Mars Phoenix is writing its own Tweets. Related: Mars Phoenix said “w00t!”

Very nearly bought the infrared thermometer and the pistachios from Woot, but they were sold out before I got through.

Ah crap, I forgot to turn off my Twitter IM, so the game got spoiled. Oh well, doesn’t sound like a game I’d’ve wanted to watch must anyway.

Feels strange to voluntarily donate purchase money to a company named Illegal Arts, but maybe that’s the point.

I have to stop following Twitter for the rest of the day lest @stl_cardinals ruin the game for my evening Tivo’d watching.

If you’re able to, vote for the squirrel! tinyurl.com/6o7b7l

Having fun watching 400+ Tweets about the woot-off so far: tinyurl.com/6qdw2t

Ah, totally forgot about the Cherokee meeting, @theroyale …Any update on how it went?

Surprised I was able to get username _ over at webmonkey/Wired.

For all its quirkiness, Vista’s saved searches (Recently Changed) & general instant search (from indexed locations) is a massive time saver.

Moral dilemma: punctuate (?) within dialogue quotes, as is proper in America, or outside the quotes to ensure clarity?

Congrats @theroyale ! A good friend of mine just had a baby last night.

Long-term procrastination solves most browser-compatibility issues. I’m not proud of it, but it’s true.

Enjoying & retching at the same time: coolspotters.com

I totally love these recipe grids: tinyurl.com/5u8gwh (scroll up a touch)

Took a short walk to figure out what the hell that incessant tapping noise is. Turns out they’re putting a new roof on, around the block.

Heads up to would-be woot-burglars: our alarm is so sensitive, wafting curtains set it off, and the cops get here immediately (& it’s loud).

Looking forward to Firefox breaking the Guiness record for emergency security patches sent out in one day.

When you select “maximum” on the Illustrator jpeg exporter, it moves the dial to 8/10. I do not think they understand that term correctly.

So dumb. firefox.com: Http/1.1 Service Unavailable

Debating on next license plate: Mushroom Conservation? Ducks Unlimited? Or Children’s Trust (aka Blair Witch Project): xrl.us/molp

I finally got into firefox.com and…they didn’t even announce FF3 there? It still says FF2. What kind of record-breaking attempt is this?

I wish St. Louis could move to Illinois: tinyurl.com/5agrf3
