04:41 PM Finally breaking down and signing up for twitter… Heaven help me! 05:00 PM @EricDSnider You need help. Professional Help. :) In reply to: Dreamed last night that Cronkite’s sign-off phrase was “And that’s the news. Suck it, b****es.” I swear, I really dreamed that. 05:15 PM Trying out hellotxt… 08:12 PM My wife went to Popeye’s at Hill AFB with one of her cousins and brought home spicy crispy chicken… YUM!

12:09 PM For lunch: Hormel’s Compleats Swedish Meatballs w/pasta in cream sauce. I can’t help but think it would be tastier if made from real swedes. 12:09 PM @EricDSnider Well said… In reply to: Happy 40th birthday, Moon Landing! And happy Idiot Day, people who think it was faked! 12:29 PM EricDSnider said “Happy 40th birthday, Moon Landing! And happy Idiot Day, people who think it was faked!” In your opinion, was it real?

04:37 PM Two friends referenced “(500) Days of Summer” which has parentheses in the title. (500) is the worst emoticon ever! : ) is far superior.

09:18 AM @MiachelJ That’s funny, cuz I sleep when I work. We balance each other, sorta kinda. :) In reply to: Work at work, work at home….I think I worked when I slept last night…..TIRED! 09:36 AM http://bit.ly/JZTUV … and that’s the way it is. :) 10:50 AM http://htxt.it/TWUm Gidget, the Taco Bell dog, dead at 15… I wonder what Sally Fields thinks? 10:53 AM http://htxt.it/YXdE Note: this is not a story about “Mormons”, it is about a breakaway sect. Interesting, though. 11:55 AM US Chamber of Commerce endorses Sotomayor for Supreme Court. Next: American Bar Association weighs in on Surgeon General nominee Benjamin. 02:24 PM Downhill … it’s how *I* roll. 05:17 PM http://htxt.it/e29R Research proves humans emit visible light 1000x less powerful than we can see. Uh, isn’t that *invisible* light? 11:19 PM I’m very sad. My fuel efficiency in the Prius has dropped a lot lately. For quite a while I was getting 60+ mpg. Now it’s down to 59.4. :(

11:08 AM Minimum wage went up 11% today. Looking forward to my raise! What, my salary doesn’t go up 11%? How about 10%? 5%? ***0%***? WTF? 02:48 PM @justwriter My follower count is unchanged, but I only had 8. I might have lost 2, as there are 2 I don’t recognize, but no net change. In reply to: RT @UWGHEdDavis RT @mashable Twitter Corrects Follower Counts: How Many Followers Did You Lose? http://bit.ly/1eosF0 02:58 PM I only know 3 of 8 followers on Twitter. Why do people follow strangers? My wife calls her brother a “friend whore” on FB for that reason. 03:06 PM Heading home early… Thank you Pioneer Day! 03:32 PM Will Harry Potter 7 be as good a movie as 6, or do you agree the source material was not as good? Why break 7 into two movies and not 4-6?

01:07 AM http://htxt.it/gIAm Tron Legacy, coming 2010. Looks awesome! 01:09 AM http://htxt.it/IUf6 A trailer from SDCC for Stargate Universe, coming in October to SyFy [sic]. 01:14 AM @EricDSnider Agreed about the birthers, but can’t someone (like the Supreme Court) just rule definitively what Natural Born Citizen means? In reply to: Dear mainstream media: Don’t pay attention to the Birthers. It only makes the idiots think they might have a legitimate point. 02:54 PM Finally off to see Harry Potter 6. I know it won’t be just like the book, but hopefully fun anyway. 06:33 PM Harry Potter 6 was a good movie. Had I not read the book, Hermione’s comment on Ron’s opinion of Harry and Ginny would make little sense.

11:59 AM @RandyTayler It is “insta” compared to what is coming, as you referenced earlier. :) 12:08 PM @EricDSnider WRT born in Hawaii: I know that, you know that, if Supreme Court would just SAY that, it might shut them up (or not) In reply to: @iSDRnet Agreed about the birthers, but can’t someone rule definitively what Natural Born Citizen means? // It’s moot. He was born in Hawaii 04:04 PM http://htxt.it/Xl90 Linked article addresses the death of handwriting in Gen Y & later. Can we also talk about the death of spelling? 05:19 PM http://htxt.it/Yyf4 Link to the website designed to keep Chuck visible to us prior to the March 2010 return of the show.

07:59 AM Twitter tastes like spam. 12:52 PM RT EricDSnider – I love Hot Pockets, but it just occurred to me that “hot pocket” would be a good euphemism for “fart.” 03:38 PM Sublimate, the process whereby something changes state from solid to gas without becoming liquid first, is also a good euphemism for “fart”. 08:41 PM Either I can’t count or Twitter can’t count. Twitter claims I have nine followers yet I only count eight.

12:11 AM @EricDSnider Note to self: Google list of Portland pawn shops and drive to Portland. What’s your address Eric? Eric? Helloooooo … ? In reply to: I was told Obama was going to take my guns away, but I’ve had them sitting by the door for six months now and no one’s come by yet. 04:31 PM Next conspiracy theory topic: President Obama is or is not constitutionally qualified to serve as President of the United States. Discuss. 11:41 PM Charlie and the Oompa Loompa Sweatshop. #failedchildrensbooktitles 11:43 PM The African American Stallion. #failedchildrensbooktitles 11:48 PM The KKK Grand Wizard of Oz. #failedchildrensbooktitles

12:12 AM Adventures of Fuckleberry Hinn. #failedchildrensbooktitles 12:14 AM Charlotte’s World Wide Web. #failedchildrensbooktitles 12:17 AM My apologies if you were offended by the Huck Finn mashup. It was too funny to pass up. Please don’t forward to my ecclesiastical leaders. 08:06 AM I’m sad my ‘original’ Huck Finn joke was used prior to my use, though in a different context. I shouldn’t be surprised… 12:12 PM RT @howardtayler “Teh lolcat inna Hat: A Speling Pr1mer” #failedchildrensbooktitles 02:04 PM http://htxt.it/ga9u A Snopes page labeling as legend a socialism based grading story. Even so, good story IMO.

09:19 AM RT @randytayler – The Borg: they’re aliens, robots, *and* zombies. Oh, and they’re communists. A quadfecta of evil! (edited to fit w/credit) 12:26 PM http://htxt.it/yAAy Proof positive that knowing is half the battle. 03:54 PM RT @EricDSnider: “In the booth at Portland’s NPR affiliate. It smells so liberal in here.” I hope it smells like the cup cake faux Scentsy! 03:58 PM http://htxt.it/ze7m Another vegan trying to game the system… :) 05:04 PM http://htxt.it/29N3 Weird Science article at Wikipedia claims they hack into a “website” in 1985, years before the web! And now you know. 09:05 PM http://htxt.it/zWBn Reincarnation Bank, because you can’t take it with you, but you can leave it to yourself…

12:12 AM http://htxt.it/M5dn Do not follow link if you easily take offense at any besmirching of our beloved president. Otherwise, enjoy! 12:47 AM http://htxt.it/rv7a New sitcom inspired by Obama’s gaffe regarding Cambridge, MA police and his friend Henry Gates. Enjoy! 12:54 AM http://htxt.it/3LKN Finally, Geordi LaForge will be able to get a drivers license! 01:48 AM Should I be upset about 6+ unattributed variations of something I wrote, even if it was obvious and used in a different context previously? 01:49 AM Good thing I don’t expect to get paid for what I write on Twitter. Now I have an itty bitty tiny idea how @EricDSnider feels all the time! 10:59 AM I now have more Twitter followers than followees, except I still think Twitter lies. It says 24 followers, but I only see 17. Bad Twitter! 11:01 AM Question posed on talk show: How will you survive the Obama administration? My answer: Prayer. And automatic weapons. 11:02 AM Government: I was kidding in that last tweet. I won’t pray, I know how much you hate that. 11:03 AM Government: I was also kidding about the automatic weapons. I will only use arms that are incapable of independent action. 11:04 AM Government: The last few tweets are examples of “humor”. Please don’t arrest me. If you must arrest someone, I can get you a list.
