oh right, the Olympics open tomorrow night 🙂 I almost forgot about that. #
tired, hungry, and grumpy this morning #
@jeffsonstein can you imagine if Obama said “dude, that’s not cool!” 😛 …lol… of course he’s going to strongly condemn the violence. #
@jeffsonstein hah … “Obama: ‘just bomb the s**t out of them. I want the blood of puppies and babies.’ ” …yeah, THAT would be news. 😛 #
@jeffsonstein nah, I’d prefer to write for McCain if you get my drift … *cough* (evil look) #
http://is.gd/1jT1 have a GrandCentral account? have an iPhone? Use your GrandCentral number on your phone now …very very cool app. #

getting ready for Ownage 2.0.2 … (yes, I’ll be the guinea pig this evening). Backing up, backing up “3rd party apps”, etc. #
@lucky_luciano hmm? downloaded Pwnage 2.0.2 last night? Why 26 hours? #
@jeffsonstein I have the 2.0.1 firmware for the Touch …grabbed it with iTunes (just use the download only option, not install) #
@jeffsonstein it’s not out just yet. should be any time now #
@lucky_luciano hah. that’s ALWAYS an excuse to get a new one. #
http://is.gd/1kdl wow …the woman Johh Edwards had an affair with ain’t even a looker …geez. EXTRA stupid John. extra stupid. #
@lucky_luciano that’s A LOT of alcohol then… 😛 #
@Matthom ASO my friend, A Small Orange… a little more expensive, but I’ve had virtually no downtime in 6+ years. #
Installer 4 has been updated with some packages …now we just need Pwnage Tools 2.0.2 to be released and such 😉 #
@Matthom if you feel like throwing me a referral (if you end up with them) please let me know. #
where the hell can I stream the opening ceremony for the Olympcs? wtf? I can’t find anything. #

http://is.gd/1hBm OAuth maybe built into future versions of Firefox? Twitter moving to use OAuth? excellent news… #
http://is.gd/1hBn brand new (and quite rough) Firefox extension that adds browser-based support for OAuth. This is a great start. #
poor Carbonite …I don’t think they realized I was going to back up 338.8GB worth of data for $45/year. oops 😉 #
http://is.gd/1hHd “Daily/Colbert – Alphabet Game” …hilarious. 😛 #
@StarrGazr I thought so 🙂 …I’m not usually a fan of Colbert, but this was pretty funny. #
Brett Farve is a NY Jet …wow that is weird to say! #
what the hell? all traces of a person I’ve been talking to on Twitter for months are completely gone. @snowcialmedia ? where did she go? #

@MissSomething my girlfriend lives in Brooklyn. earlier post about all the commotion definitely caught my attention. glad things are ok #
http://is.gd/1i6l free version of the “I’m Rich” application is now available 😉 #
@twhirl if I try to delete a Tweet inside Twhirl it’ll fail, tell me I’ve exceeded the limit, and then pause updates …any ideas? #
@ebygum same thing happens when I try to follow people from inside Twhirl as well. #
wow, I am *way* to scattered …I just forgot was I was going to do …literally *10 seconds* after I was going to do it. #
I just realized how massive Monkey Ball actually is … don’t think I need a game that is 100MB on my Touch. #
@MissSomething no, no worries. I’d rather worry about false alarms than to not hear about related news at all 😉 #
not bad … the backup of my Touch has only taken 15 minutes so far (and it’s about 30% done) …niiiice. </sarcasm> #
http://is.gd/1i97 NY Times has a great Olympics Tracker (that isn’t related to Microsoft or Silverlight) …this will be very handy. #
@droppyale left side of iTunes Store –> All iPhone Apps –> top right corner –> Order by Release Date …newest will be first. #
@droppyale still gotta sync the device sometime 😛 #
who says I can’t have ice cream for breakfast? …just you watch me! 😛 #
http://is.gd/1icH “Can anyone hear that picture” … synaesthesia is such a cool topic. #

I just noticed my bookmark for Facebook is still http://thefacebook.com …talk about “retro”. The good ‘ol days when it was just colleges #
Carbonite is $50/year for unlimited storage. I have 340GB backed up. Amazon’s S3 would be $51 storage, $34 initial xfer. Total = $85. #
@kevinrose I have the Giants, Patriots (unless they are playing the Giants), and also any team playing the Cowboys. #
got an invite for the Hakstore …oh man, basically every app on the App Store, but cracked and free 🙂 #
http://is.gd/15xL very cool and very creepy images made using the Droste Effect… #
@rampok they are incredible, and yet …shows some of the flexibility/power of GIMP. #
@rampok hah… photoshop is nice, but GIMP is made huge improvements lately #
@rampok sometimes. 😛 not always. #
if anyone is interested in trying out Ghost http://g.ho.st please consider using my referral ID (which gives me 1GB free per person) #
@bangbang023 chicken terriyaki (sp?) without a doubt. it’s the Subway staple sub. #
@snowcialmedia I have a gridjit invite for you. #
waiting for his car to get fixed… dreading what the bill will be. #

XM Radio’s epic fail. verification email only included 1/2 of the URL. (checked source, it legitimately just wasn’t there). figured it out. #

brand new survey for “Windows Early Feedback” group is entirely focused on location-based usage. Some very cool ideas, for Win 7 or Mindori? #

Intelliscreen is pretty darn cool/handy …it actually makes the iPhone/Touch unlock screen useful. I just don’t know if I’d pay for it. #
@steelopus I ain’t tryin… do I look that stupid? I hear it needs a new jailbreak to work after the upgrade. I’d wait a week. #
http://is.gd/1eTF WOW. one hell of a sexy looking Ubuntu mockup …I wish it looked half this nice. #
@steelopus apparently it gets rid of some of the lag/slowness, and speeds up the sync/backups (thank god)…I’m in no hurry either #
power-sifting through 600 unread stories in my feeds … I need to get started with the day soon *sigh* #

http://xkcd.com/323/ “Remember Windows ME?” … “I KNEW it” … lol 😉 #

@Warlach Twitter doesn’t spoon nearly as well as my girl 😉 or smell like her, or smile like her, or sound like her…*sigh* ok, I’m done 😛 #
can’t figure out how to put this down into words …it’s like sand falling through my fingers. the harder I try the further it slips away. #
@StarrGazr and of course I don’t want to force it because then the writing will just be awful anyway …I suppose I just wait it out and see #
http://is.gd/1cVy “Phoenix has Found Something More Compelling than Water: President Bush Informed” …consider me *very* interested. #

testing the RC1 of Songbird v0.7 and *very* impressed so far. It’ll use your iTunes library and keep up to date with changes to iTunes also #
Anyone have any invite for FFFFOUND! by chance? It looks so interesting #
@edythemighty if only Songbird would sync with my Touch… that would be so nice. #
I just took my Touch out of the protective case for the first time since the day I bought it…been caseless for maybe 2 hours ever. #
@Twhirl …please consider adding support for http://bit.ly as a URL shortener option. #
blocking some more Twitter spammers …hey, at least they aren’t porn bots this time! 😛 #
finally finished Hemingway’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls” …pretty damn good book, a little slow in the middle, but damn good. #

It’d be nice if Vox would get around to fixing their post editor. Right now you can’t escape out of blockquotes using Firefox 3. annoying. #
@samuraiBSD you mean like the jailbreak that is already available and working? #

rainy Saturday afternoon of reading (with coffee) #
iTunes is telling me that 29 of my 29 applications are out of date …I call bullshit. Now I’m scared to sync… #
installing SummerBoard themes on my Touch (2.0) …WinterBoard (a new app loads them pretty well) #
@shadyproject it’s available on Cydia right now. It’s very rough right now so you know. #

http://is.gd/1cS5 using WinterBoard to customize/tweak my Touch 2.0 … works decently so far (custom dock doesn’t work yet). #

@edythemighty absolutely. Was going to break up the work between Sat/Sun but I decided to suck it up today so I could relax tomorrow. #

hoping the update for iTunes will fix my Outlook calendar syncing errors … *fingers crossed* #
I just told my girl that I loved her “even if you aren’t a trendy web 2.0 web company” 😉 …her response: “that’s a helluva compliment!” 😉 #
hmm… 19 application updates for my Touch … I have a bad feeling about this. I think something is going to go horribly wrong when I sync #
@heidihoover lol… yeah. I just like the fact that he’s not so stuffy as all the other politicians. It’s a start at least. #
@heidihoover natural or “normal” …he seems like a normal again at least. We shall see…McCain seems like a robot to me. #
