  • I wish I cared about the Monday Night Football game … neither team does it for me, just really not intriguing #
  • @Alexis_centric hah…SO true. Don’t insult small town people by calling Palin that. #
  • @Keljo1991 um…no… better? lol, not even vaguely close. Palin is a disgrace to all Americans. She’s the Paris Hilton of politics. #
  • @Keljo1991 go Giants 🙂 (stupid bye weeks) #
  • http://is.gd/3j2P umbrella says “f**k the rain” (and Google’s satellites) #
  • the new Facebook app for the Touch/iPhone is SO much nicer. Much faster, easier to use, and just generally more visually appealing. #
  • @Keljo1991 heck of a game your Steeler’s got going tonight, huh? #
  • just woke up and I’m already for a nap… #
  • grey rainy morning…wish I could have just slept in today. #
  • must escape…and find coffee… we’re “learning” about how to use MS Expression Web 2 #
  • http://tinyurl.com/4dp3sx if McCain and Palin were superheros…hilarious! #
  • http://www.newsweek.com/id/161204 “McCain says he puts the country first. This is simply not true.” #
  • @Mobasoft it’s just you. Gmail gets along just fine with WLM …I receive mail all the time. #
  • @Mobasoft I’m just saying…I’ve been using Gmail and WLM for 4 years without much problem. I’ve had issues with Gmail’s spam filter sucking #
  • @Mobasoft Gmail’s spam filter rarely listens to me. I mark something as spam/safe and it just keeps doing what it wants to. frustrating. #
  • @Mobasoft oh but Gmail is “beta” remember? 😛 #
  • ok, definitely time for some crack (and reading) #
  • @chrisriedinger any trend? Which model is popular? #
  • Feeling exhausted and hungry today…and basically like the weather is outside. I’d love a nap if I could nap. #
  • My.foxmarks.com is now Touch/iPhone compatible…very cool! #
  • Playing with the Touch/iPhone version of Lotus Notes…it’s really basic right now, but at least it’s a start. #
  • really fighting the urge to skip class and just head home…I know this next class is going to be SO boring. #
  • yeah ok, giving in … going to play “sick” and skip class. forget this. #
  • @andymurd as do I my friend, as do I 😛 …I don’t get a choice at work though unfortunately. #
  • http://is.gd/3l9v “September [economic] Madness brackets” ….hilarious and sad at the same time. #
  • http://is.gd/3lcg Pelosi gave a great speech yesterday before the bailout vote yesterday. She has many excellent points, worth a watch. #

  • http://smushit.com/ dead simple image optimization (for web pages) #
  • how many RSS feeds do you subscribe to? …I just realized that I’m up to 125, time to clean up a bit. #
  • http://is.gd/3lRJ “I Just Can’t Picture Myself Sleeping with a Non-Vote”… e-card. send it to your friends, that girl/guy at the bar, etc #

  • Just about to leave NYC. 😦 #
  • Really would like to call in sick to work tomorrow. Really not looking forward to all that work left over from Friday. #
  • Damn the world… Taxi time is 50 minutes and the flight time is 52 minutes. Grr. #
  • Watching Sunday night football while waiting to take off…at least we have football. #
  • …still waiting to take off….grr. 😦 #
  • http://is.gd/3gbh absolutely hilarious SNL video of Palin …. funny because it’s actually pretty accurate. #
  • @edythemighty things worked out. 🙂 #
  • absolutely exhausted after a wonderful (but long) weekend. sooo not ready for work tomorrow though. #
  • …coffee and what looks to be a very busy Monday. #
  • @aliciamk just doesn’t seem fair does it? 😛 #
  • working on the motivation to get started with all of my work today. allergies are killing me today. #
  • 7 or 8 different things I should be doing this morning, none of which I actually feel motivated to do. #
  • did I miss something? Why is Apple’s stock price plummeting? #
  • Verizon Wireless to get the iPhone? http://tinyurl.com/48qv4w #
  • soooo much stuff to do in the next 3 1/2 hours. oy vey! #
  • oh man… the Dow is tanking today. This is going to be ugly. #
  • absolutely exhausted, but I need to try and fix my computer this evening instead of being lazy #
  • @edythemighty that would be one very RED iPhone 😛 #
  • never actually thought I’d say I was glad to back on Vista. Fixed my registry…maybe I actually can relax tonight. #
  • http://is.gd/39QT “What Campaign Ads Would Look Like If the Voting Age Was 6” …lol. actually made me laugh on this otherwise awful day #
  • anyone have an invite for DevjaVu? …I’d love to play with the “Instant Trac” functionality #
  • lol…never mind, found an invite code for DevjaVu … *cough* DM if you want to try the site out. #

  • I take that back… I re-read the gun control thing on MySpace …I’m 13 out of 14 with Obama. #
  • wonderful… my installation of Vista just got corrupted …the registry is all messed up. That’s just wonderful. #
  • http://is.gd/398x election.twitter.com Election Twitter sounds really cool … election.twitter.com won’t be live until midnight though #
  • @steelopus karma for what? for speaking poorly of the blessed Mac? …please. #
  • missing the girl … looking forward to going to NYC tomorrow, and definitely ready for bed pretty soon. #
  • taking suggestions for streaming music sites … blocked: Last.FM, Pandora, Blip.FM, Grooveshark, AOL radio…. any ideas? #
  • http://xkcd.com/481/ “Listen to Yourself” …awesome, and I really like the idea! #
  • @panache at least we don’t need to fight…you take her, I’ll take Keira Knightley 😛 #
  • @_chain great in theory, but without vendor support it’s kind of hollow now isn’t it? #
  • @jeremyb …trust me, I agree. Only 3 more months of this BS. #
  • really behind on my RSS feeds…busy busy Friday before I head out for NYC. #
  • wow…my company even sucks enough to block CNN’s videos. That’s pathetic. #
  • totally forgot my girl has her bank account at Wamu …doh. I should have remembered that. #
  • it’s idiotic and a sign of incompetence that McCain can’t multitask and debate as well as “assist” with the bail out talks. (part 1 of 2) #
  • Does McCain really think the president can choose to only focus on a single problem at any given time? What an idiot. (part 2 of 2) #
  • T: “we can huddle under my umbrella” Me: “elllla ellla…” T: “DAMMIT! I RESISTED !” Me: “I didn’t” … 😛 #
  • @StarrGazr I’m sure Fox News has several …that are neither “valid” or “logical” #
  • @StarrGazr …I was being sarcastic 😛 #
  • @creepysleepy yeah, instead he’s the one who screwed up the tentative agreement for the bailout principles. Way to go dumbass! #
  • @StarrGazr oh man..I’d pay money to watch that debate actually. It would be hilarious. She can’t speak by herself though, it’d be brutal. #
  • “Get ready baby, you’re gonna be kissed. At least a dozen, for each kiss we’ve missed. been so wrong for so long, but I’m so right tonight” #
  • @creepysleepy and his obvious lack of a grip on reality. #
  • @creepysleepy I’m quite sure both of them are in their own little worlds…I just prefer Obama’s world at the moment. 😛 #
  • I think less of people who use the wrong word(s) when it comes to computers. “change the size of my screen (resolution)”, etc *sigh* #
  • tonight’s debate is officially on (says CNN) …great news. #
  • there is absolutely no way I will get all of my work done before I leave at 2PM *sigh* …oh well I guess. #
  • Suggestions needed: good knowledge base/ticketing solutions. Require: web-based, free/open source ideally. #
  • lol … easily 3 hours of work left to do, and 2 hours left of work. #
  • Damn it. For lunch it’s either McDonald’s or coffee…what choices. grr #
  • I’m going to be that alcoholic at the bar with a beer at 2PM…well, and a good book. Killing time at the airport. #
  • Oh man… Talk about irony: they are playing George Michaels here in the bathroom. :p #
  • @ceejayoz @andymurd I will give Trac a try. Thanks! 🙂 #
  • Plane is here, but they are still saying we’re delayed? Why? #
  • @StarrGazr NYC…expecting more rain actually :p #
  • @ceejayoz this will be on an internal company web server. Installing won’t be my problem…that’s why we pay IT. 🙂 #

  • things I should do: write my movie review, write my weekly blog posting, finish my podcast … what I want to do tonight: nothing. #
  • http://twitpic.com/d658 shockingly enough I was 14 for 14 in agreement with Obama …like I said, shocking I know. #

  • http://bit.ly/5WfgK McCain owns 10 houses, 13 cars, and is worth a few million. Yeah, he’s *really* in touch with the economy right now. #
  • http://bit.ly/5WfgK from the same article … Obama owns 1 car: a Ford Escape Hybrid. #
  • http://bit.ly/1MAVH5 wonderful, just wonderful. Obama drastically revised his “technology” page on his website. More vague, less goodness. #
