  • home after a slightly interesting dinner… #
  • really not in the mood to watch Lost tonight. might watch it, might not…we’ll see. #
  • exhausted…time to pass out. #
  • cold, snowy, and expecting snow today …great day to stay in, make some coffee, and try to be productive. #
  • http://is.gd/2vF 500GB Western Digital USB 2.0 external hard drive – $100. Great deal! #
  • @Matthom It’s the TechMeme of micro-blogging/status update sites. I don’t really see the big deal as well. *shrugs* #
  • http://is.gd/2vZ "From 9/11 to Fall of Baghdad, an Ex-Marine Explains What It Means to Him" Great article in the NYT about a family friend. #
  • it’s seriously only 11am? …geez…this day is dragging on like whoa #
  • early lunch, and then gyming it up I think. #
  • @Matthom I always felt like TechMeme was a rip off. Making ad revenue from other people’s content. Seems fishy to me. #
  • @Matthom a la social feed aggregator aggregators? Yeah. It’s ridiculous. Tumblr and Jaiku are already aggregators for the other services. #
  • @Matthom "Feeds are not meant to be used as content." Don’t know if I agree with that entirely. Feeds CAN be content in good/useful ways #
  • @Matthom I totally agree with you then. I don’t like that idea either. #
  • buying music from Amazon JUST to spite the iTunes store. #
  • @billpalmer How so? It’s cheaper, less DRM crap, and actually easier in some ways. Not to mention I don’t have to support an evil company. #
  • @billpalmer certainly is no more difficult. Click "buy", things download quickly, auto-imported into iTunes. Gee, that was tough. #
  • @billpalmer My dislike of Apple trumps the iTunes store. I’m not really going to change my opinion on this one 😛 #
  • great album… Slow Poke – At Home (2007). Such smooth/chill jazz. Very happy with the purchase. "Harvest" is an instant favorite song. wow #
  • @billpalmer Didn’t see much of a point in arguing. Both suck – you’re right (companies and stores). #
  • playing around with Windows Small Business Server 2003 …because I am just that much of a nerd. #
  • anyone know a way to backup txt messages on Win Mobile 5? #
  • http://www.soashable.com/ just like Meebo…except installable on your own server. very cool stuff. #
  • Well that was nice …Dell re-shipped my replacement gift card over night, and it was marked as "extremely urgent contents". #
  • just bought a Canon PowerShot SD850 IS Digital ELPH …really excited to have a digital camera again. #
  • I heart the simplicity of using apt-get from the command line. I wish all computer related things would just be that easy. #
  • still not 100% …hoping I’ll get unsick, but instead I’m reading and taking it easy this evening. #
