  • @djearlybird: Whatchoo talkin’ bout, did you do one too? OH THAT. That’s nothin’!! Not even a blip on my annoyance radar. Not what I mean. #
  • @djearlybird: p.s. I will only slander nameless faceless tech-information bloggers, not friends. Did you use a pie chart? I don’t think so. #
  • Trying Amazon Subscribe & Save, a bulk grocery delivery thing. Box of Luna bars every 3 months for $12. http://amazon.com/subscribeandsave #
  • R.I.P. Lydia Mendoza – Tejano pioneer

  • @jennatar: I sold my boots, I sold my hat… please don’t selma schertz! #
  • Upgraded to WordPress 2.3.2. I think it worked. The drafts vulnerability wasn’t so much of a worry for me, I barely use ‘em. But whatever. #

  • @gruber: I just voted for Twitterrific with my damn wallet. Fuck that shit. #
  • @chockenberry: Thanks for a great app. I never minded the ads so much, but I use it 24/7 and… today’s a good day to pony up. #
  • I had problems with it at first, but now I’m a Sandy convert. Very useful for reminders. I refuse to call it a “she” though. iwantsandy.com #
  • @Theory: I’ve been to the SF Zoo and the lack of fences freaked me out a bit. A tiger can jump 15-30 feet. Moat is 20 feet. Hmmm. #
  • Andy Lester went public! @petdance Sorry for taunting you into it dude, but you are as good a tweeter as anybody. & now I can reply openly. #
  • @rael: Crap! I had unfollowed you (among many others) awhile back due to info overload. Now I’m back w/ tail between my legs. Yr too nice. #

  • Wil took me to dinner at the TONGA ROOM! And I talked to the whole family, and even heard back from my ol’ pal Shelley. Awesome Christmas. #
  • Tonga Room Tonga Room Inside the Fairmont Christmas lights Fairmont Hotel
  • @hotdogsladies: thanks a LOT for getting “Don’t Pay the Ferryman” stuck in my head. Argh!! Well, it could be worse. Could be “Lady In Red”. #
  • I said I wouldn’t, but I fucking poured my heart out to Shelley and now I’m plumb tuckered out! Trying to catch up, there’s too much to say. #

  • @meimaimaggio: I bet @SantaClaus has a computer built right into the dasher-board. ;-) Merry Christmas / happy holidays everyone! #
  • Wil got me a Brookstone charging station for my geegaws! It’s soo pretty. Satisfies many lusts: gadgets. organization pr0n. and wood things. #
  • (It can now be revealed that I got Wil an Expression Pedal to go with his Line6. He needed it for his pedalboard. & it was a real surprise!) #
  • Wil's pedalboard
  • Wil got me tipsy with a champagne cocktail. We’re going for a nice Xmas dinner later; he won’t say where! Says it’ll be more FUN than fancy. #
  • (p.s. we’re taking BART, don’t worry!) #
  • Oh I almost forgot! Go get your annual copy of me sing-humming “Silent Night” over on John’s music page! http://johnwhitney.net/music.html #

  • The bully husband next door is screaming at his whole family, with doors & windows open. WTF, it’s Christmas, can’t he give it rest? Asshole #
  • Bought the el cheapo dryer sheets & now the stink is creeping its way all over. Hazmat squad on the way, must protect the Bay Area wildlife. #
  • We didn’t want to fight the parking lots so we walked all over town. It was fun! Wil has some secret fancy drinks he wants to make tomorrow. #
  • Just wrote to a really good old friend that I haven’t talked to in forever. Hope I have the right addy & she writes back! I miss her a lot. #

  • Ever since I moved to WP, my content’s been getting splogged like a mofo. Wonder what scraper they’re using? Maybe I could htaccess ‘em out. #
  • @McChris: Great idea, I forgot you could do that. I wonder if you can buy a gift card using a gift card? #
  • Terraminds twitter search (via Biz)
  • Angsuman’s Feed Copyrighter Plugin: a WordPress plugin to automatically add copyright message to your RSS / ATOM feeds
  • Kindle books now wish-listable on Amazon! Although, for now the button only appears if you visit the book’s customer reviews page. #
  • Wil is a prolific movie reviewer on his F’book Flixster. Super smart &/or funny. I.e. for Vanilla Sky: “I personally prefer chocolate rain.” #
  • 5 stars for Pootie Tang! “it’s a baddy daddy lamatai tebby chai. That’s a canapan, all the way down. wa-da-tah.” I concur. #
  • Got a little something for Mama after all. It’s not going TO her exactly, but I think she’s gonna like it anyway. :-) http://www.heifer.org/ #
  • Ohhhh my bank… my aching bank… #
  • The people down the street who like to build bonfires in their backyard just got a visit from the Albany FD. Swear I didn’t call! #
  • Ohhh… somebody at Kindle Korner is saying that although you can add Kindle books to your wishlist, nobody can actually buy them. Psych! #
  • @Ihnatko: I’m afraid of that too! I never blog on my blog anymore, but here I can’t shut up. You’re hands down my favorite tech writer btw. #
  • Honest Gift Tags

  • We’ve been watching the Bugaloos, a kiddie fave of Wil’s. I remember it vaguely too, but I’m very much a child of H.R. Pufnstuf & Lidsville. #
  • Feeling a little guilty for not confining my anti-spam foaming-at-the-mouth to my own webpage(s). #
  • Listening to a Teresa James cover of DeZurik Sisters’ “Arizona Yodeler”. I’d never dream of even attempting that, mainly ‘cuz I can’t yodel. #
  • Preparing an external drive for Time Machine. I’ve been living way too dangerously waiting for a Leopard-compatible version of SuperDuper. #
  • Finished “The Millionaires” free audiobook from iTunes. Enjoyed it OK but felt like escapist fare compared to my usual diet of cyberpunk SF. #
  • H.R. Pufnstuf (the character) was created for HemisFair ’68 in SAT & was the symbol of the fair. I was there, 4 yrs old. Wonder if I got it? #

  • Photo by Barry Phipps - Paul from MOTO Paul Caporino from M.O.T.O. (via Barry Phipps’ Flickr)
  • Reading the internet speculation about Donnie Darko, which we saw last night. I sure do dig the freaky sci-fi flicks. #
  • Ultrasound was no biggie at all. Results later, but if there’s anything majorly wrong, the radiologist deserves an Academy Award for acting. #
  • Today’s mail brought this year’s holiday CD from the Greenbergs: Ann-Marie, Mark, Georgia, August and now Frankie too! Excited to hear it. #

  • Once again, because there’s no candy in the house, I have to settle for Viactiv. #
  • I look at the world with my head cocked to the right because of the astigmatism in my right eye. Trying to get the left one closer to you. #
  • OMFG. Daddy wants to know if I’ve read Snow Crash. He’s halfway through, and he likes it! I didn’t even tell him! This is a little too w … #
  • …weird! Why did PocketTweets cut me off? #
  • Krazy Kindle lady says I’m an angel. :-D God, I should’ve bought it from her and not said anything but I don’t have an extra $400 to blow. #
  • It’s official, we can now use Amazon gift cards to get Kindle books. Direct gifting and wish-listing coming soon, one would think. #
  • Depressed about Xmas. Got one good present for Wil but I’m on such a tight budget, that’s all I could afford. What about everyone else? Ugh. #
  • (Knowing what I know about that word, I shouldn’t be saying I’m “depressed”. I’m not depressed, just disappointed in my poor money skills.) #
  • @BluesBro: I know exactly what you mean. I just want to give more to my loved ones, period. All the time. #

  • Hallelujah, the new version of DEVONthink Pro finally supports Spotlight. http://www.devon-technologi… #
  • Google Operating System: Who Are My Gmail Contacts?
  • Facebook has custom groups now. When and if they come out with privacy filters for those groups, I’ll have no excuse not to let the fans in. #
  • (I mean, you can group your friends now.) See here: http://tinyurl.com/ypeolo #
  • I just practically handed like $600 to a total stranger. If she’ll listen to me and do what I say, she’ll be holding wads of cash!!! #
  • So the deal is, a lady is selling her Kindle on Craigslist for $399!!! She could be doubling her money! I almost shit myself. So I told her. #

  • Last night we watched “Me and You and Everyone We Know”. I like it, it was NICE. And ol’ acquaintance John Perkins (Hawkes) is a fine actor. #
  • Dangit, no editing on Twitter! I’d like that like with a “d”, like… “liked”. #
  • @tigerbeat: Thanks Steve! Will do. #
  • MIRANDA JULY » me and you blog
  • Daddy tried the Kindle trick and it worked! 12/31-1/14. So I’ll have a week or two to harrass him. If he doesn’t like it I’m in big trouble! #
  • Harper’s getting a Kindle too! And you better believe he’s gonna try to hack that fucker. Gonna help me with my wordpress plugin too. @nata2 #
  • @zeldman: once I heard “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” performed by volunteer @ assisted-living facility. WAY too sad, an inappropriate venue! #
  • Netflix has started sending me things that are waaaay down my queue list, not sending newer stuff. Am I being throttled? Paranoia sets in… #
  • Netflix has no instant watching for the Mac. Boooo!! http://tinyurl.com/2ahhae #
  • Getting SO confused about the interaction of contacts in Gmail vs. GChat vs. GReader. Harper had no idea what a demanding lil’ PITA I’d be. #
  • Answer: If a person uses one addy for GChat and another addy for GReader, you have to separate them into 2 contacts in Gmail. Then it works. #
  • Do any more of my friends use Google Reader? Share your links? Holla back. I’m “cowgal” at the g to the m to the a-i-l, what’s that spell? #
