• On the iPhone, the terms “sleep”, “lock” and “standby” all mean exactly the same thing, correct? I gotta problem with that. #
• Once again experiencing crushing guilt over my walled F’book garden of RLFs and family. @leolaporte has opened his up to everyone… waaah!! #
• Doing a full erase and restore. If that doesn’t work I’m gonna set it up as a “new iphone” but I gotta grab my Notes first (lyric snippets). #
• Wow, fancy label colors in Gmail #
• Kitty Wigs! (via Laughing Squid)
• No charges in the Megan Meier suicide case. It figures. http://tinyurl.com/2ect8k #
• The Miniature Earth
• It blows my mind that Stringer on The Wire is a British guy. McNutty’s Baltimore accent is so shitty it’s obvious, but Stringer? Whoah. #

• @tigerbeat: after living in Chicago, I’m trained: the parka only gets put away in July/August. I know it looks stupid but I like to be WARM. #
• Now a Craigslister is offering ***$800*** to anyone who’ll sell him a Kindle. The hysteria is crossing over into total pandemonium. #
• Google Safe Browsing: Report a Malware Page
• Adding an Amazon Associates link for every mention of the K-word on my site’s twitter-feed. I could get $40! Doubtful but you never know. #
• Telling a funny story about a looney ex-boss. I got a million of ‘em, I’m a magnet for crazy bosses. (Ask me about the one w/ a shotgun!) #
• Befuddled over a tracklist for a comp I didn’t even know I was on. Not saying it’s not legit but you’d think I’d remember giving permission! #
• New iPhone’s acting weird. Home button won’t wake it after it’s been sleeping > 30 secs. Gotta press top button, then home, then slid … … #
• AS I was saying before I was so RUDELY cut off… “…slide. WTF?” Is that normal for newer phones? Sure didn’t work that way w/ original. #

• F’book newsflash: (name withheld)’s relationship status is no longer listed as “complicated”. Heh. And btw my site went kablooey just now. #
• OMG Daddy bought a Kindle! Fished in, fished in! I am vicariously super excited about it. #
• Just got back from Apple Store. THEY GAVE ME A NEW ONE! And headphones too! (the old ones were pretty fuckered up.) Steve, you are my king. #
• (I meant a new iPhone. I would’ve edited that but Twitter won’t let me.) #
• @BluesBro: naw, the Sprint comes with it for “free” (heh). But yeah I don’t think you can use the network outside the US. Hopefully soon! #
• Huh. The new iPhone is at 1.1.1, gotta upgrade. BTW it doesn’t have the bell icon on the mute-switch! I’m no longer SUPER special, just OK. #
• And on the tenth day, the ol’ jalopy was moved out of our spot. I hope they didn’t read it here though. I’m not THAT passive-aggressive. #
• Somebody on Craigslist is offering *$550* to anyone who’ll sell him a Kindle this weekend. Man alive, I haven’t seen such hype since June 29 #

• Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge (The whole book, for free online in one bigass text file)
• DAMMIT! My iPhone’s volume rocker just lost its clickum. It thinks I’m pushing the up button and won’t stop. ARGH #
• HA! I got my geeky dad all intrigued about the Kindle. I *knew* he’d be into it. :-) #
• Met up with the wreck-a-stow lady. Status upgraded to “probably sometime”! FU if it seems an odd choice for a webcoder. I’d love it there. #
• I love mystery packages even if they’re not for me. Wil got one and it’s driving me mad even though it’s prolly just boring ol’ boy stuff. #
• For somebody who doesn’t even own a car anymore, I sure am indignant over that jalopy parked in our spot for the last 9 days. #
• LOL!! In the Kindle video demo of the dictionary feature he looks up the word “profligate”: recklessly extravagant or wasteful of resources. #
• The Amazon Kindle
• My iPhone is now useless for podcasts, unless I want my ears blown out by the faulty rocker switch. Got an appt with the genius tomorrow. #

• Trying to figure out how to get a PDF ebook onto my non-jailbrunked iPhone. Dying for a Kindle but it ain’t gonna happen anytime soon. Meh. #
• You can put PDF booklets into iTunes. But they don’t sync to the iPhone! BAH!!! #
• Sony just released a PSP firmware upgrade with no changes whatsoever other than the version number. How do you spell “fa-cock-ta”? #
• Part of the menu-that’s-not-on-the-menu at Jodie’s
• I’m full of Jodie’s #
• Regarding parking-spot territorialism: In Chicago I’d cook a pot of oatmeal and pour it on the fucker’s freezing windshield. Or dream of it. #
• I thought SpyMac was a Mac rumors site?! Looks like MySpace shook it up in their barf bag. (I’m so grumpy I must sound like @hotdogsladies) #
• Remembering the last guy who called me Edie. I couldn’t go to the funeral, obviously. #
• Bedbat? Is that meant to be kept under the bed, or over?

• Ugh, I need a job. #
• Whatever happened to making Stacks on the desktop? Wasn’t that part of the first Leopard demo? Steve’s a big fat liar but I love him anyway. #
• Last time I submitted a resume to a record store, the gal said “you know, they’re probably gonna throw it right in the trash!” Such is life. #
• OMG THEY SAID “MAYBE”!! I’m thrilled!! #
• MISSING: One of my very favorite socks. Last seen on my foot. Please help!! #

The lonely mate

• How can I get Grab to save a screenshot as jpg instead of tiff? Or, what should I use instead? Grab pretty much raised me from a pup… #
• Spent a couple hours breakin’ my back yanking weeds. I’m not even supposed to have to, dammit! #
• Maybe a little too excited that @jennatar got an iPhone? It’s just… I love them so much, and… I can’t help it. SQUEEEE!!! #
• Attempting to gather certain family secrets, for a certain secret something. So far Daddy’s the only one who came through but OOH IT’S GOOD! #
• Ooh. I think I just accidentally sent a MySpace invite, of all things, to a total stranger. Wrong address. Wrong button. So wrong.

• YAYYY I got me and Wil free passes to the exhibits at Macworld Expo in January!! And THIS year we won’t be arriving too late to get in. :-)

• OMFG!!! the Legendary Stardust Cowboy just gave me his phone number! He says my music Paralyzed him! :-o
• Spam subject line: “Change your peanut into a coconut.” Golly! You’d have to buy new pants for that, at the very least.
• Checking out Ning. Hate it when websites email me back my password, unencrypted! Also when they won’t show me my public profile. I say Bah!!
• I don’t get Google page ranking. My site is a 5, is that good or bad? It IS the first site that comes up in a search for my name, but why 5?

• Am I correct in assuming the iPhone 1.1.2 update has NOT rolled out to iTunes anywhere in the world? That was such a psychout the other day. #
• Trying Flock again. Bugs me how the Twitter sidebar always says I have new direct messages. I do have old ones; how do you mark ‘em as read? #
• I bet I know why @leolaporte is twittering again. It’s because he’s a Flockhead, and Twitter is like, right there on the left. Can’t resist. #

• Woke up @ 4AM and couldn’t get back to sleep, all ‘cuz I’m STILL mad at Pitchf**k for screwing me over on the last album?! I know… stupid. #
• Brrrr!! I just got fan mail from the North Pole. #
• They’re only giving us 33% off to upgrade LifeBalance? And they haven’t updated the app in *how* long? No thanks, I’m not even gonna try it. #
• I can hear my neighbors *belching*. That’s too close. I’m from Texas! #
• OMG I resurrected the iBook! All-day voodoo dance and chanting. Possibly got a bad ATA controller, but in low power mode it’s now working. #

• This concludes my day of silence to honor the passing of my old iBook G4. It was a good machine, and will be missed at our printer station. #

• Tabulate bookmarklet for iPhone
• Sonny Smith live at the Make Out Room: Bad Cop / The Gospel Song / Private Dick
• 
• My old G4 iBook won’t stop crying. I mean crashing. Surely not because I tried to install Leopard, slightly hacked and very unsupported? Meh #

• Inquisitor 3. Spotlight for the web.

• Mail.app Notes -> Gmail IMAP -> iPhone, and vice versa. Sweet! #
• There was an earthquake? I didn’t feel anything here in Albany… #

• I got Leopard! Erasing and installing now. Had to do some Terminal voodoo to get it to see the HD, but now it looks like I’m in business. #
