  • @Mobasoft “perhaps that explains why we don’t get along with many people, politically” …lol 😉 or in general? #
  • @Mobasoft “We’d get along w/them” …hah, that made me chunkle. Part of my problem is that I just don’t expect much from people any more. #
  • @Mobasoft I’m currently stuck in a bad place (not all that happy with where I am right now) so it makes being positive about people harder. #
  • @Mobasoft current job, and current situation with several other things. I need to finish something (Dec) before I can move on finally. #
  • @mattverso same here …I want a Dell Studio Hybrid with Ubuntu on it (which hopefully work knock off $100). #

  • @lucky_luciano yeah it is, why? what’s up? #
  • The 10 Commandments of the Social Web http://tinyurl.com/5t8n7z #
  • @lucky_luciano dopisp doesn’t require the Touch to be pwned. It should work fine with a stock Touch. #
  • anyone want an invite for Live Mesh? I’ll sent you an invite …skip the waiting list (Mac client should be out any day now) #
  • @lucky_luciano no no, it’s something you install in Windows. It’s a plugin for WMP11 that lets it see your Touch. Works pretty well so far. #

  • @steelopus try out the “free” Touch apps …working well for me, the list of “free” apps keeps growing by the hour. #
  • @Mobasoft Apple is crippling it’s own device with the awful limitations on the SDK (and the F*&^ing NDA). That’s too bad #
  • @lucky_luciano oh man, I wish. She is always a loud talker, but this is ridiculous. #
  • @lucky_luciano hah… that “deer in headlights” look …yeah 😉 #
  • @Mobasoft some adventurous Mozilla hackers could always take Firefox the Pwned route to give us extenions/plugins also 😉 #

  • @snowcialmedia I got into YouAre, but it doesn’t look like we have invites just yet. I’ll keep an eye out for you though. #
  • @lucky_luciano No, he had 12 stalls and he picked the right next to me. I think he may have glanced over also…ick. #

  • @snowcialmedia feel free to add me … http://youare.com/xxdesmus …can we change the avatars yet? #
  • @strawpoll 2 #
  • @snowcialmedia that is exactly my problem with FF also. way too much text to take in. #
  • @snowcialmedia wow…I didn’t even notice the lack of a reply button, that would be helpful. #
  • @snowcialmedia I completely agree. FF is overwhelming — Twitter is simple and to the point. (when it works) #
  • busy busy Monday. Co-worker is off for the week which obviously means I need to do her work, and yet she doesn’t do mine when I’m gone. grr #
  • there is really no reason why I need to be on this conference call… *grumble* …I dislike wasting my time. #

  • @ksawyerpaul People NEVER ignore Apple failing at life while things are going badly for Microsoft. You’re absolutely right. This isn’t fair! #
  • @ksawyerpaul Microsoft is a boring target these days. The new upcomining trendy target for rants is Apple and Google. WAY more trendy. #
  • OpenID and OAuth: Why Should We Care? http://tinyurl.com/5o8a8j #
  • why does the App Store say the AIM app was released 7.26.08 and yet my updater thing is telling me I don’t have any updates? Confused… #
  • iTunes trick/tip … do a search for ” * ” (star) …it’ll return only songs that have a rating (any rating). #
  • http://www.palringo.com/ Palringo is a new multi-service IM app on the App Store …you gotta sign up at Palringo.com, but it works well #
  • http://is.gd/16Qj the fancy (and complex) way to steal any app from the App Store … all you need is an Pwned iPhone/Touch and SSH access #

  • Twitter’s back online and I’m definitely about ready for bed. #
  • so much for going to bed early tonight. fucking shocker. something came up. #
  • always gotta be drama… #
  • it’s going to be very difficult for today to not suck. we shall see. #
  • @twitter …I lost at least 70 people I had been following and at least 90 followers. I assume they’ll be back? #
  • anyone else notice how much advertising/partner crap Mashable has on the site? I disabled adblock by accident this morning and was shocked. #
  • @Matthom very true, LH is pretty bad too. It really makes me appreciate adblock more. I honestly think I’d pay for adblock if they charged. #
  • http://is.gd/12pE In case you missed it on CNN this morning, the minimum wage is going up $0.70 today which is equal to $6.55 #
  • @Mobasoft Yes, pretty much … glass half full/glass half empty 😛 #
  • @Mobasoft I’m agreeing with you. I was applauding your honesty. God knows CNN won’t “tell it like it is” when reporting on it today. #
  • http://www.opposingviews.com/ A site that discusses …you guessed it … both sides of an issue. Could be a great resource eventually. #
  • @Mobasoft People like to feel good about everything unfortunately — even if it means they are clearly being deceived. #
  • @Mobasoft Yeah, pretty much 😉 #
  • playing around with the new beta of the MS Office Outlook Connector http://is.gd/12qW pretty nice so far…it “just works” #

  • Retweeting @BreakingNewsOn: Full transcript of Obama’s Berlin speech now available (speech still ungoing): http://tinyurl.com/6xbc4h #
  • @steelopus it’s working for me again, it was just taking forever to resolve (I blame the corporate firewall) #
  • http://twitpic.com/58iq Lost Twitter followers: 430 yesterday to 347 this morning …that would be a 24% drop over night…ummm… #
  • @matc1984 technology hates me 😉 #
  • http://is.gd/12Vk the full video of Obama’s speech today in Germany. Great speech. #
  • http://is.gd/138m screenshots of the brand new version of Installer.app coming to iPhone/Touch 2.0 soon. It looks *really* nice. #
  • getting packed up for the trip to NYC tomorrow …then hopefully a very quiet, very low key evening. I’d love to go to bed super early #
  • coolness …the vast majority of my followers are back now. yea! #

  • another day, another book finished. Camus’s “The Stranger” …so so, nothing memorable to be honest though. #
  • @es0 I did see that movie, I didn’t notice that 😉 #
  • I didn’t think it was possible, but I actually slept worse last night than I did the night before…geez. I need to get a good night’s rest. #
  • Wishful thinking: if I enter a task with a date/time in the RTM sidebar in Gmail I’d like it to create a calendar entry based on that info. #

  • dude, my inbox is actually clean! Score! 😉 #
  • finally got an invite for SlideRocket …playing around now. Very slick! #
  • http://knol.google.com/k/knol# Google’s Wikipedia competitor is live for the public … Knol is well, a very early start. #
  • http://knol.google.com/k/knol Google’s Wikipedia competitor Knol is now available to the public. It’s still sparse, but it’s start. #
  • holy crap it just got crazy dark all of a sudden…gee, ya think it’s going to rain/thunderstorm? #
  • http://is.gd/11OJ iPhone/Touch copy and paste is coming to the App Store soon! …and it looks pretty cool actually. #
  • so now the big question is “Do I hang out at work (no fun) even though I could/should leave? Or do I wait for the massive downpour to end?” #
  • @lucky_luciano which story are you referring to? #
  • @lucky_luciano did I include a link in the original Tweet? This link –> http://is.gd/11OJ #

I'm Leaving On a Jet Plane…

Ok, I’m not really flying but I will be headed back down to Brooklyn to visit a special someone this weekend. Yeah I know I don’t post much any more. So shoot me! Just been distracted by a girl, and have also just been trying to relax a bit this summer before my final semester of undergrad kicks off in September. I won’t make any promises to post more often because I’m quite positive that would just be a lie anyway.
