  • Kindle‘s been hacked! Well, sort of. Not all the way, but you can get MobiPocket files on there now at least. http://tinyurl.com/39xqta #
  • DADDY’S GETTING ME A KINDLE FOR XMAS!! I mean Santa. YAYYYY!!!! How did he KNOW? ;-) ::jumping up and down:: #
  • Finally at the back of the line for a Kindle. :-) They haven’t given me a date yet. I’m assuming the wait will be not unlike waterboarding. #

  • Twitterrific is sending things without me hitting the fricken return key! I was SAYING I love Junior Mints but they give me a stomache-ache. #
  • @ijustine: Junior Mints are covered in bug juice y’know… http://tinyurl.com/nyton I like to nibble around the edges, then smoosh. #
  • Cortical Spreading Depression… a brain thing, related to migraine auras / scintillating scotoma. Google it… http://tinyurl.com/34cl4y #
  • From hot out herre – a rare meme: > 1) go to wikipedia and click random article. that is your band’s name. > 2) click random article again; that is your album name. > 3) click random article 15 more times (or however many times seems >     appropriate for your band); those are the tracks on your album. I got the following: 1) Emiliano Moretti 2) Kevin O’Neill (rugby player) 3) Paul Schütze; Richard B. Hays; Euphemia Elphinstone; Nelson; Gennaker; Cynosarges; Shepton High School; Piura (disambiguation); Collie Power Station, Western Australia; Saga, Kōchi; Sugar crust; Cold Wars (gaming); Filmation’s Ghostbusters #

  • RetailMeNot.com — Coupon codes for thousands of online stores
  • Just took care of Wil’s Christmas present. EEEEE!! I can’t stand it. You know how I feel about boxes, and surprises too. They drive me mad!! #
  • Googling for a papercraft Kindle, as an email gag gift for Daddy. Seems so obvious, but I don’t think anyone’s made one yet. #
  • @jonathanboyett: Damn straight! I only wish Apple had come up with this first. #

  • @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 #
  • Wil got a big box from Amazon today. It’s been staring at me, sticking out its tongue even though it’s just a buncha deodorant or something. #

  • 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”? #
  • The WallPart 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?Bedbat? Is that meant to be kept under the bed, or over?

  • Why is it that whenever I have a plane-crash dream, I’m always in the cockpit getting the worst possible view? #
  • If there’s no food or drink allowed on BART, how are you supposed to shop for groceries outside your home turf? I’m overthinking this, yes. #
  • I want a Kindle! Even though it’s way overpriced, and buglier than a Mattel electronic-football game from 1977… http://tinyurl.com/taxq7 #
  • 452 characters per minute, with 87 correct words and no wrong words. Hot tamale! http://speedtest.10-fast-fi… #
  • The sock has been found. No thanks to you people! #
  • I soo wanna insinuate myself onto someone’s roundtable tech podcast, so I can bitch about Macs/gadgets/webstuff. Role model: @ambermacarthur #
  • So ashamed I could only name 35 HTML elements! Wasted a full minute not realizing the clock had already started. http://tinyurl.com/2492aa #
  • EMI to Cut RIAA Funding; Death of RIAA Near? (from Mashable’s lips to God’s ears!)
