  • this is kinda like Dummy's Guide to Lost. I guess it's a good refresher for new fans of the show. #
  • "our triangle just became a quadrangle." ...hah! Classic. #
  • working from home this afternoon...sweet. I love being able to work in a hoodie. #
  • @leahjones I agree. It seemed a little sluggish when it came back up last night, and it seems to be continuing this morning. #
  • @Matthom My prediction for Sunday: Manning to Toomer, back of the endzone as time runs out, Giants win by 4. #
  • I remember why I stopped using MT as my CMS. The admin interface is still a nightmare (better than it used to be, but it's still poor). #
  • @steverubel The first gen of any Apple product will have all kinds of horrible issues....as I am sure you are aware. #
  • @steverubel very cool indeed, thanks for the link. #
  • http://snurl.com/1yo76 "Internet failure hits two continents" ...wow, that sucks. Hopefully they get up and running again soon. #
  • By the way, today is National Lost Season 4 Premier Day (NLS4PD)...at least I acknowledge my addiction. #
  • Do any of my "Twitter peeps" also use Jaiku? Pownce? ...manually searching is kind of a pain to do. #
  • listening to a little Billie, sipping my coffee, getting ready for my conference call. #
  • @leahjones I was definitely not ready for that... and it totally freaked out my dog :P #
  • Didn't realize the Democratic debate was tonight at 8PM, that sucks that it conflicts with Lost...pretty sure I know which will win. Tivo'd #
  • @Mobasoft That is not necessarily a good thing. Personally I like the back button, and the ability to actually bookmark subpages. #
  • @Mobasoft True, but what about accessibility? I bet a screen reader freaks out. #
  • @Mobasoft My only point is that by coding with graceful degradation they don't have to be left out. #
  • @Mobasoft a very valid point. Accessibility is a goal to strive for, but not necessarily a reality. #

  • trying to find some motivation, but failing miserably so far. #
  • wow, ok. Time to actually doing what I need to do. geez, I procrastinate like a mofo #
  • @tmarkiewicz wow, I have trouble keeping up with 44 ...that is very impressive. #
  • Have you seen my motivation lately? Yeah, me neither. #
  • I just had a reported sighting of said motivation "hitch-hiking to Atlantic City". That explains it... #
  • Watching the new episode of House. Pretty good so far. #
  • sustained winds of 40 mph tomorrow, gusts up to 65... Boy that sounds pleasant. #
  • watching a new episode of Dirty Jobs...love this show. #
  • The roads are pretty nasty today. The temp has dropped almost 20 degrees in the past hour so everything just flash froze. #
  • oh right, forgot I had class this afternoon with the prof who's class I skipped this morning...doh. #
  • tonight is the Lost season 3 finale recap (to refresh your memory), and then tomorrow is Lost day! (season 4 begins) #
  • Score! Class was canceled. Heaven forbid our prof send us an email informing us of this decision... #
  • Firefox 3's inline extension search is pretty nice. Looking forward to this release. #
  • playing around with Microsoft's FeedSync http://feedsync.mslivelabs.com ...pretty cool stuff. #
  • Apparently I have rekindled my burning hatred of math. #
  • setting up my RSS feed for Lost season 4 downloads *cough* --> http://snurl.com/1ymg1 (this will update when some share an episode) #
  • http://snurl.com/1ymgw "10 Best Films of Sundance 2008" To see: Be Kind Rewind, The Wackness, and Assassination of a High School President #
  • Well that is odd, Dell.com dropped the 80GB Zune...it was there 2 weeks ago. #
  • http://snurl.com/1ymiu "Why can't I own Canadians?"...highly amusing. #
  • Would you think less of me if I told you I was having a Bordeaux with my shrimp scampi? #
  • @chrisbrogan I still prefer RTM because I needed an online component that Things lacked. #

  • http://snurl.com/1ygzw Firefox 3 native UI screenshots for WinXP and OSX. No Vista just yet... #
  • Wow, where did this day go? ...time for dinner I suppose. #
  • gee, who else has absolutely no intention of listening to Bush lie to us yet again during the state of the union speech? Sorry, tired of BS. #
  • Finally had a chance to watch "Thank You for Smoking". It was definitely quite amusing. #
  • Thank god we don't have to listen to that idiot lie through another state of the union. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out #
  • http://snurl.com/1yhcl upgrade your jailbroken ipod touch over the air...no computer required. #
  • http://snurl.com/1yhdu Nissan GT-R ... um, yes please? #
  • Headed off to class. it's a grey rainy day, but I am certainly not complaining. #
  • gotta love running into the prof of the class you were "sick" for yesterday *cough* *cough*...still sick :P #
  • Nothing quite like writing documentation that a 4 year old could follow, except that it's actually for senior VPs. #
  • each time you actually use the documentation you write you'll usually find something to add/tweak/improve. #
  • @steelopus I am from Rochester as well. Hi neighbor! #
  • definitely ready to go home...another 1.5 hours. ugh #
  • Random thought: I'd buy a Mac if Apple didn't get any of the profits. #
  • The Mets got Santana...wow, didn't quite see that one. #
  • @legirl profs usually understand the need for "mental sick days", or in your case -- other commitments. It's bound to happen. #
  • My number is 44. How many feeds do you follow? #

  • @Matthom I agree. I am ready for baseball to start again...once the Superbowl is over I'll be quite bored. #
  • Thinking about watching The Bourne Ultimatum. I (obviously) haven't been in much of a rush to see it yet. We'll see. #
  • @Matthom I'd love to see my Giants win (retribution), but I'll be happy as long as it's a close game. Hopefully we get good commercials too. #
  • wiping my Treo...yet again. Hopefully it feels like working this time. #
  • I am testing a wireless mouse for some company (NDA), they didn't think to send us a battery charger. Um, stupid? No more testing for me. #
  • Watching the X Games super pike finals. Borne Ultimatum was alright...*shrugs* #
  • http://snurl.com/1yeen Obama was receiving more than $500,000/hr in donations following the SC victory. That's incredible. #
  • a little coffee, a little dog maintenance, and then class for the rest of the day #
  • Kinda having a hard time finding motivation today. Wish I could just go back to bed. #
  • oh my god...this girl has said "like whatever" at least 10 times in the past 2 minutes. Can I smack her? Please? #
  • thinking about turning in my homework early, and then skipping my next class... #
  • I should be able to detect "taken" or "reserved" as well as "she's female" with my girl radar. #
  • Well, and the "taken, but you can persuade me" category. That's an important one too. #
  • http://snurl.com/1yg1n game called "Filler" ...great way to waste time. #
  • @ijustine upstate NY - 33 and partly cloudy. At least it's not snowing so I can't complain :) #
  • Oh right, I needed to go to the bank today ...totally forgot about that. Headed off now. #
  • damn, bank was closed. oh well #
  • 18 84 58 A6 D1 50 34 DF E3 86 F2 3B 61 D4 37 74 ...it's the iPhone/Touch SDK key to sign official apps More info: http://snurl.com/1yglq #
  • Anyone heard of GMX.com before? ...looks pretty nice #
  • @sourjayne I can take a guess at which of those roles was the most satisfying :P #

  • Wow...Obama did very well in South Carolina! :) #
  • @jgarber I played with it about 6 months ago, and I had the exact same feeling. #
  • Wow...Obama's speech was incredible! #
  • For the first time in nearly a decade I feel hopeful about this country. I feel like my opinion actually means something. #
  • glad to see Talib Kweli is getting some air time at this year's Winter X Games...he deserves the exposure. #
  • all kinds of homework to do today #
  • I was thinking about getting an Obama bumper sticker, but then I remembered that I laugh at people with bumper stickers. #
  • lunch, and then more homework. #
  • Ted Kennedy will endorse Obama "this week" ...wow, that is great news. #
  • I wish it was easier to find the name of a song in a commercial. Looking for a song from one of the Zune commercials. #
  • I think it's the commercial where the guy falls through the screen into the little cubes #
  • http://snurl.com/1ydcb Found the commercial, and song -- The Shins "Sleeping Lessons" #
  • http://snurl.com/1ydee "A President Like My Father" by Caroline Kennedy -- Why Barack Obama needs to be our next president. #
  • checking items off my to do list always feels quite satisfying...regardless of how small the task actually was. #
  • gonna be a close finish for the Celters vs Orlando game... #
  • http://www.box.net/p/xxdesmus my Box.net public folder...feel free to peruse. #
  • it's been quite the productive day. Time for some relaxing, dinner eventually, and some trashy television. #

  • http://30boxes.com/iphone.php Wow! That is how a mobile calendar should look. Looks great guys! #
  • I am the top result for "how to get media player ten without validation" ...should I feel special? #
  • http://snurl.com/1y9f2 What is blacker than black? New material that absorbs 99.9% of all visible light...crazy. #
  • http://snurl.com/1y9t2 Apple, Nokia, RIM, Sprint, AT&T, HP, Motorola, Helio, HTC, Sony Ericsson, UTStarcomm, and Samsung... being sued. #
  • @Matthom grab the update :) Firefox just alerted me. #
  • @Matthom It's funny how we get so used to something that isn't supposed to technically be there. They really need to add a native task list. #
  • @Matthom I like the RTM extension, but I can't stand the RTM website. It's so horribly designed - so clumsy and difficult to navigate. #
  • coffee, and all kinds of reading this morning. Need to drop my parents off at the airport later. #
  • I sure have a lot of Cat Power considering I haven't really listened to her all that much...maybe I should do that. #
  • I wish I could de-dog-hair my entire room. I can't seem to keep up with my dog's shedding. #
  • just watched Sweeney Todd ... not bad, and certainly was dark. #

  • http://snurl.com/1y6rh Microsoft posts $16.37 Billion Revenue in Q2 ...wow...um...not too bad huh? #
  • @Aubs did you try Kayak.com? #
  • http://snurl.com/1y6xw Is this really Windows 7 M1? who knows... looks pretty legit to me though. #
  • finally going to watch No Country For Old Men. I've heard a lot of positive feedback so far..we shall see. #
  • No Country For Old Men is really quite boring...definitely not keeping my attention. going to bed. #
  • headed off to class (coffee is required first), hopefully it won't be as long as expected, but we'll see #
  • Things I hate: Awkwardly sized steps. Too small for 1 at a time, too large for 2 at a time. Drives me crazy! #
  • I think Gmail broke the Remember the Milk extension...anyone else notice that? #
  • Thank god for Facebook, and no -- I'll probably never utter that phrase again. #
