  • @litchick77 Josh nail­ing fur­ni­ture to the ceil­ing again? in reply to litchick77 #
  • RT @scottsigler: Late nights and dead­lines go together. Like peas and car­rots, but with more cof­fee and sleep depri­va­tion. #
  • I know my folks don’t mean any­thing by it, but it’s uncanny how they wait until I try to write some­thing before need­ing my help. #
  • Didn’t get ariud to check­ing Twit­ter for most of the day, only to find war, death, and self-​absorbed whin­ing, myself included. #
  • Time to back off for a while, tweeps. Maybe the world will regain some sem­b­lence of san­ity while I’m writ­ing. #

  • @crimsonsky56 Que? in reply to crimsonsky56 #
  • @paper­tyger I’ve found Peg­gle and audio­books an irre­sistable com­bi­na­tion on my iPhone. Per­fect for writ­ing avoid­ance. in reply to paper­tyger #
  • RT @rstevens: Pi ain’t noth­ing but a num­ber. #
  • RT @ColleenLindsay: Michael Jack­son DID have a great zom­bie upris­ing con­tin­gency plan: make the zom­bies dance. #
  • @crimsonsky56 A friend of mine has the 3GS, and the cam­era is AMAZING #
  • @crimsonsky56 Yay! New iPhone! #
  • Writ­ers: When you’ve been away from writ­ing for quite a while, how do you over­come the iner­tia and get started again? #
  • @EdHans While I still think we need to tran­si­tion away from fos­sil fuels as soon as pos­si­ble for sus­tain­abil­ity rea­sons, I’m won­der­ing too. #
  • @EdHans Yes, but you’re not sup­posed to @ your­self in pub­lic. #
  • @brettq I know the feel­ing. I’m try­ing to put together a data­base and it’s been years since I’ve done DB nor­mal­iza­tion. Ow my head… #
  • @jchutchins Okay, yeah, I have to agree on that one. A Clock­work Orange 2 was deriv­a­tive and lame. #
  • @KevinCTofel You haz cows. #
  • This data­base design is sap­ping my will to live. How do you wash off sap? #
  • @ddelucia24 I’m givin’ her all she’s got, Cap’n! #
  • @ddelucia24 Don’t you threaten us! #
  • @brettq Yes, a big chunk of my pain is my own insis­tence that we do this right. #
  • @jchutchins And of course, as every­one knows, the penul­ti­mate temp­ta­tion of Christ was a zag­nut bar. #
  • @Garten­berg Just to be fair, can we com­plain that “The Piano” didn’t have enough explo­sions and car chases? #
  • Expect­ing an action movie to have char­ac­ter devel­op­ment and intri­cate plot is like expect­ing a box­ing match to have a debate. #trans­form­ers #
  • @Bert­Lata­more Hmm. Bob Baer tends to freak me out rather than relax me. #
  • @Bert­Lata­more It sounds famil­iar, so prob­a­bly. #
  • @dgawlik324 HA #
  • @crimsonsky56 I think I got it from Audi­ble. I love my (now obso­lete) plan, I get 5 books a month! #
  • Damn shame they had to kill that stuffed moose… http://yfrog.com/18ghjsj #

  • @chrishar­rop Not free, but CEOs used to make 10-​20x their low­est paid worker’s wage. Now they make more than 400x as much. in reply to chrishar­rop #
  • Back 2 Tweetie and lov­ing the speed (while wait­ing 4 Tweet­Deck 2 get sta­ble). Won­der­ing how long before I run back 2 Twit­te­la­tor 4 fea­tures. #
  • @chrishar­rop per­son­ally I think CEO pay should be directly tied to year over year stock price. Com­pany loses money, no golden para­chutes. in reply to chrishar­rop #
  • Dis­ap­pointed in tech­nol­ogy this morn­ing #
  • Child of the 70s: Saw two motor­cy­cle cops rid­ing side by side on big cruis­ers and now I have a CHiPs theme song ear­worm. #
  • RT @pourmecoffee: BREAKING. Sarah Palin can see Mark San­ford from her win­dow — wait, never mind, it’s a bear. #
  • Happy birth­day @josh­whe­don (if that really is you, Joss)! #
  • @znh For turn by turn direc­tions, a com­pass allows the phone to know where you’re headed even if you’re not mov­ing. #
  • Blue elf needs nap! Badly! #
  • @crimsonsky56 Vlingo’s voice recog­ni­tion proved sur­pris­ingly accu­rate. Good way to add voice con­trol to non 3GS. And free, so what the heck. #
  • @jchutchins Bat­man Begins #
  • @ana­mariecox I think the Inter­nets thing has been a run­ning ironic joke for so long it actu­ally became a word. I say it myself. #
  • @the­great­mis­sjj Per­haps some­one should bring you some sorts. #
  • @del­rayser Well some­times they don’t take… #
  • @ana­mariecox Not log­i­cal? He’s going full on Vul­can on them? #
  • @crimsonsky56 What do you see as the key advan­tages of OSX over Win­dows 7? Assum­ing same hard­ware. #
  • @jchutchins Aliens #
  • @crimsonsky56 Inter­est­ing. I’ve used Expose clones for Win­dows, but find Aero Peek in the taskbar eas­ier to use. #
  • @crimsonsky56 And while OSX doesn’t have a reg­istry, it has a sim­i­lar mess of pref­er­ences and Unix set­tings. #
  • @crimsonsky56 So if we’ve achieved par­ity in desk­top OSes, what will geeks fight about? #
  • @del­rayser But does any­body put Helen in a cor­ner? #
  • @crimsonsky56 Not com­pletely opti­mized bat­tery life is to be expected in pre-​release soft­ware. #
  • Up to 599 notes still tagged “Read­ing Mate­r­ial” in @evernote. (After read­ing, I retag them.) Some­body find me more hours per day. #
  • @crimsonsky56 NEVER! I must be informed! Or at least have the option to be informed! #
  • @crimsonsky56 And only 187 notes are from the last seven days. Any­thing older than that is strictly optional. #
  • @crimsonsky56 You say “addicted to infor­ma­tion” like it’s a bad thing… #
  • @crimsonsky56 So you use some­one else’s devices? #
  • @crimsonsky56 My life, is, in fact, ridicu­lously my own. It’s nice. #
  • @bon­niegrrl @rstevens What really makes the corset-​wearing, pack­ing salmon insid­i­ous is their green ball point pens. #
  • RT @paula­pound­stone I was up late watch­ing Dirty Dozen bc I wanted to show my son that when u don’t bathe reg­u­larly Telly Savalas acts out. #
  • @crimsonsky56 I burned most of my Win­dows 7 ISOs to DVD with Win­dows 7. Works great. #
  • Stop! Bur­rito time! #
  • @crimsonsky56 Well, I did grow up in Hous­ton, where Tex-​Mex is a way of life. As the seal to the Eskimo, the bur­rito is sacred to me. in reply to crimsonsky56 #
  • @caitkitt I had a cage fight with a ninja once. Pantsed him. #
  • @RobT43 I have dark ques­tions about eReader for iPhone 3.0, mostly around in-​app pur­chase. #
  • @crimsonsky56 I’ve found that the world has changed and tra­di­tional PIM apps aren’t as vital as they used to be. #
  • @crimsons@crimsonsky56 Facebook/​Twitter have sub­sumed Con­tacts. My cal­en­dar & tasks are mixed in with my email & notes. It’s all cloud now. #
  • The iPhone and Pre are phones for a post-​PIM par­a­digm. #
  • @crimsonsky56 Maybe I’m “spe­cial”, but alarms on tasks don’t mat­ter to me any­more. My life is too fluid for that kind of plan­ning. #
  • @crimsonsky56 We need to get the WOYPers on teh Twit­ter #
  • @unwired­ben Inter­est­ing per­spec­tive. I think we’re prob­a­bly in agree­ment in every­thing but terms. #
  • @unwired­ben I see the Pre as beyond the sim­ple Palm Pilot PIM apps. It encom­passes so much more. #
  • @unwired­ben But even the Pre isn’t cen­tered on Con­tacts and Cal­en­dar like the Pilot/​Treo was. #
  • @crimsonsky56 What do you need on the iPhone that Cal­en­dar (synced to Google) and Ever­note (set up for GTD) don’t do? #
  • @crimsonsky56 Keep­ing in mind GTD rules, ie any­thing time-​specific goes on cal­en­dar, not tasklist, etc. #
  • @crimsonsky56 You might want to take another look at http://bit.ly/bmEwX #
  • @crimsonsky56 Try start­ing with Leo’s Zen to Done method. Same ideas, sim­pli­fied. http://bit.ly/g3Bn #
  • Quoth Die Flie­der­maus: “The look… is key.” #
  • My brain is redlin­ing, lead­ing me into a cas­cade of com­pletely undi­rected anx­i­ety. Yay! #
  • @litchick77 As you gaze into the Andover, gazes also the Andover into you. #
  • Must… Slow… Neural… Fir­ing… #
  • @MaxGeek Throw her in the lava pit! Or bed. #
  • @crimsonsky56 Usu­ally my Paxil keeps the anx­i­ety well under con­trol. It only sur­faces when my brain is mov­ing too fast. Meep! #
  • @jame­sus I’m gonna have to go with Botox. #
  • @Alli_​Flowers That is, with­out a doubt, the most twisted pun this week. Brava. #
  • @jame­sus Depends on what they’re bak­ing. “Spe­cial” brown­ies are a real crowd pleaser. #
  • @litchick77 Ah, so your ver­sion of High­lands Ranch here in Den­ver. Excel­lent! (ask @tib­bar­erew) in reply to litchick77 #
  • @Tere­saKopec “Why put on pants at all…” A ques­tion that vexes me every day. #
  • 33 arti­cles clipped for read­ing just today in @evernote. Maybe I should block out time to read them… #
  • @hodg­man The Com­pletely Sta­tion­ary Stones #cool­bands­made­un­cool #
  • @dgawlik324 Yeah, noticed that when I hit her IMDB page after see­ing the trailer for GI Joe. Inter­nets FTW! #
  • .@crimsonsky56 Tak­ing another look at Pocket Infor­mant for iPhone myself. #
  • Hey, my iPhone with 3.0 won’t let me down­load a pod­cast over 10MB over cel­lu­lar! I thought that restric­tion was lifted in 3.0. What gives? #
  • @crimsonsky56 Push alerts for cal­en­dar and task will come with PI updated for 3.0. #
  • RT @pogue 2 iPhone apps avail­able that give turn-​by-​turn GPS. But both are $10 a MONTH! Hint: GPS does not stand for Greedy Profit-​Sucking! #
  • @crimsonsky56 The cloud is mother. The cloud is father. #
  • @crimsonsky56 RIM’s prob­lem is every­thing going through their NOC, sin­gle point of fail­ure. Bad idea. #
  • @crimsonsky56 xGPS is a well-​regarded turn by turn GPS for free if you have a jail­bro­ken iPhone. #
  • @crimsonsky56 I have RedSn0w on my PC at home, could jail­break, but not sure it’s worth it. I could mul­ti­task, but not impres­sive in 128MB. #
  • @crimsonsky56 That’s why I’m lean­ing to not jail­break­ing. Other than mul­ti­task­ing, every­thing I jail­broke for I have in OS 3.0. in reply to crimsonsky56 #
  • @crimsonsky56 I’ve found that full text feeds the way to go. If I can’t read the post in my reader, I don’t. #
  • OMG mas­sive LOTRO patch no gam­ing for me. I haz a sad. #

  • @joekeg LEGO FTW in reply to joekeg #
  • @RobT43 Not entirely sure I’ll jail­break 3.0. Only thing miss­ing is Back­grounder, and not sure how effec­tive that really is on 128MB device. in reply to RobT43 #
  • RT @rstevens I never fought a mummy before, but this sit­u­a­tion is unrav­el­ing rapidly. #
  • Just saw a golden eagle take off from a tree in my front yard. I do not live in a rural area. #

  • @MaxGeek DEATH TO DRM!!! #
  • @Dar­ren­Humphries Because who­ever has the most fol­low­ers wins, duh. It’s like you don’t even remem­ber high school. #

  • @scottsigler I have that same reac­tion from my local Chipo­tle. #
  • @RobT43 Basic, no frills Gmail. And con­trary to some reports, I’ve not noticed Gmail IMAP as sup­port­ing push on 3.0. #
  • @Kim­ber­lyKaye Of course San­ford is going to run in 2012. Why do you think he tried to appease the hard right by refus­ing stim money? #
  • @Kim­ber­lyKaye That said, Stan­ford doesn’t stand a chance in 2012. He, Jin­dal and Palin should start a book club. #
  • @RobT43 OMG! What are your job search plans? Need any help? I’m a great resume doc­tor. #
  • @aswinn Hmmm, I have noticed my word­count seems inversely pro­por­tional to my tweet­count. #

  • @Rafe Grody? Really? #
  • @ever­note When is the Win­dows ver­sion update com­ing out? #
  • @ever­note Also, explain why the iPhone 3.0 ver­sion is so awe­some #

  • RT @squarespace: GIVEAWAY UPDATE: Only one sin­gle #square­space tweet from here on out = entered for­ever. http://bit.ly/1a8gCl. Thanks! #
  • @Kim­ber­lyKaye Did your account get hijacked? #
  • @TheAu­thorGuy Maybe your iPhone knows some­thing you don’t. #
  • @the_​wordgirl Sorry to hear that. I’d like to say that all we males aren’t that annoy­ing, but I have no way to back that up. #

  • Excel tweeps: is there way to set a cell as null, so that it doesn’t get aver­aged with the rest of a range? #

  • @MaxGeek Those who on the fence have fen­ce­post up their… #
  • @sunilse­bas­t­ian I’m try­ing to clear the cell con­di­tion­ally. Some­times it’s counted in the aver­age, some­times not, depend­ing on chkbx else­whr #
