@Westernwizard Keep in mind, it’s $700 if you actually want to put a reasonable amount of video on the iPad. in reply to Westernwizard #
@rcartwright DON’T GO INTO THE LIGHT RICK! in reply to rcartwright #
RT @PhilippaJane: Now that the iPad’s released, can we smoke a cigarette in the afterglow, then quietly agree never to talk of this again? #
RT @CRA1G The #iPad doesn’t: multitask, output HDMI, phone calls, take pictures or video, text messages, or hold as much as an iPod. #
The iPad is a FAIL if you already own a smartphone and a netbook, especially for writers who need a hardware keyboard. #
RT @CRA1G Anyone seriously thinking the #iPad is a game changer needs to put down the Apple kool-aid now & go into rehab. #
@nyneshaydee Pretty much. Today’s announcement is pretty much the least I expected. in reply to nyneshaydee #
I’m waiting for someone to say that the iPad makes bigscreen TVs obsolete #brainwashedmasses #
Wake me when they jailbreak the iPad for multitasking. #
Not saying I won’t buy an iPad when I have to replace my netbook, but I need a few more features (ProSwitcher, Stanza at native rez) #
@mikecane No Pages > iBooks workflow. FAIL. #
The only reason I’m even considering the iPad is that I already type that with w/iPhone and Stowaway BT keyboard #
Does the 3G version really weigh a pound more than WiFi only? Why? #ipad #
@somas1 Give it time to wind down. in reply to somas1 #
I can cut off the screen of my HP 2133 netbook and pretend it’s an iPad. #
@PalmPreLawyer Oh, hells yeah. My iPhone wouldn’t be half as useful as it is without jailbreaking. in reply to PalmPreLawyer #
@sunilsebastian Stanza? in reply to sunilsebastian #
@CRA1G Ditto, plus it wobbles when you try to touch type on the screen on a flat surface. Back is *curved*. #ipad in reply to CRA1G #
@crimsonsky76 You can ten finger type on the screen, but since the back is curved, it wobbles if you type on a flat surface. #ipad in reply to crimsonsky76 #

Was going to post my thoughts on the iPad, but it’s just too gorram depressing. #
@rohdesign My problems with the iPad aren’t so much what it got wrong as what it *just missed* getting right. in reply to rohdesign #

@Westernwizard I was hoping for something truly revolutionary rather than an oversized iPod touch. in reply to Westernwizard #
@rprokic BTstack Keyboard, it’s a jailbreak app on Cydia. in reply to rprokic #
@rprokic It’s just a driver that runs in the background. You type into any app you want. in reply to rprokic #
@rprokic Yup, the best portable BT keyboard ever made. Works great. The special keys don’t work yet, but the driver is still in active dev. in reply to rprokic #
@rprokic The only problem I have with it is that somehow it makes the iPhone’s autocorrection lower case words I deliberately capitalize. in reply to rprokic #

@spleenical @westernwizard 5-act structure is just 3-act with act 2 split into another 3-act structure, like a fractal. in reply to spleenical #
@spleenical @westernwizard 3-act proportions should be around 30/50/20% for a modern pacing. It’s easy to bust that 50 into smaller chunks. #
@spleenical I’d consider Machinations/Failure/Success a reasonable act 2, but you’re going to need a good kicker going into the final act. in reply to spleenical #
I’ve been kicking around the idea of an analysis of the 3-act structure. Guess I know what Monday’s post on JeffKirvin.net will be. #
@spleenical @westernwizard Depends on how complex your story is. Simple stories require less set up. #
@spleenical @westernwizard Blockbuster movies tend to be closer to 20/70/10%, with act 2 an extensive try/fail chain. #
@spleenical @westernwizard That 20÷70÷10 is also pretty close to the breakdown for the novel I just finished last month. #
@spleenical It’s more a matter of knowing where the big twists need to be and controlling pacing. #
@spleenical @westernwizard I still contend that 4 – 5 act structures just subdivide act 2 of the 3-act. Act 2 is generally 50%+ of the story. #
@spleenical @westernwizard Mastery of the 3-act structure is right up there with understanding mythic archetypes, IMO. #
@spleenical @westernwizard Telling a story is one thing. 3-act structure, archetypes and myth are tools to help a story resonate. #
@spleenical @westernwizard Also recommend Campbell’s “Power of Myth” #

RT @FakeAPStylebook: The year 2010 is pronounced “11111011010,” but for less formal situations “MMX” #
@dgawlik324 You say that like featuring James Caan is a good thing. in reply to dgawlik324 #
Got no revision done yesterday, my first day on 4 tens at Old Job. Must have chapter 2 revised by 2pm or NO CHIPOTLE FOR ME. #

@tibbarerew I think you should travel by sandworm. Very trendy this time of year, especially to Vegas. in reply to tibbarerew #
@MariKurisato It’s not useful, will be one of Google’s flops. It combines the worst aspects of email and IM into one product. in reply to MariKurisato #

Queued up to read: Anathem, Under The Dome, Cryptonomicon, American Gods, Neverwhere. But 1^st, Altar of Eden by @jamesrollins #
Have purchased Flesh Circus by @lilithsaintcrow but I’m hesitant to read it. Circuses (and clowns) skeeve me out. #
@SpaceCaseStace I heard it actually snowed in Dallas. That’s like a sign of the apocalypse, right? in reply to SpaceCaseStace #
@PhilNickinson I’m guessing rainbows and unicorns, mostly. in reply to PhilNickinson #
.@twitter ‘s Lists feature allows you to keep tabs on groups of people without following them, but it also disallows retweeting them. Why? #
@SpaceCaseStace Y’all should set up a business trucking the Texas snow to the polar bears. Or importing polar bears to Texas. in reply to SpaceCaseStace #
@MikeTemporale Hey! What happens in Vegas… in reply to MikeTemporale #
@crimsonsky76 Never read King’s “It”. Seriously. I friggin’ hate clowns. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
@SpaceCaseStace Hmm, then you need to genetically engineer super fast polar bears. in reply to SpaceCaseStace #
@crimsonsky76 I can’t shake the feeling that all clowns are secretly giant alien telepathic spiders. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
@JuggerGrimrod Bring on fully autonomous cars, à la Minority Report. And those giant gesture-based screens, too. in reply to JuggerGrimrod #
@cterry1974 I do write them, however. It’s the principle of the thing. in reply to cterry1974 #
@jeanettemarsh Good to hear! I’m feeling much better after getting my dose of capsaicin from Chipotle. in reply to jeanettemarsh #
@kdaleauthor Wow, I didn’t understand that until I realized I had the wrong definitions for both nouns. in reply to kdaleauthor #
@kdaleauthor Fortunately, I read exclusively on my iPhone. in reply to kdaleauthor #

@robkroese Never be depressed about Del Taco. They are the tacos of my youth. in reply to robkroese #
@crimsonsky76 Yeah, that’s just a small laptop. Netbooks don’t have optical drives. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
@crimsonsky76 90 minutes this morning to drive 17 miles to work. The ice on the roads seems to have surprised CDOT. in reply to crimsonsky76 #

@jeanettemarsh A little better, thanks. Still trying to deal. in reply to jeanettemarsh #
RT @FakeAPStylebook: Avoid using the word “WOW” in your stories, as Australian readers will think you’re talking about their mom. #

@wataridori808 Took you long enough. Which one did you get? in reply to wataridori808 #
@Nofrendo Hey, at least you still have the day job… in reply to Nofrendo #
No longer have Old Job. Don’t have New Job yet (HR still working on it). Trying to see this as vacation time. #thatisall #
@Alli_Flowers No, been there, done that. in reply to Alli_Flowers #
@RobT43 No guarantees, but probably. The transfer from Old Job to New Job was quashed by budget cuts at Old Job forcing them to let me go. in reply to RobT43 #
@RobT43 New Job is now working on the paperwork necessary to hire me off the street rather than transferring me from Old Job. in reply to RobT43 #
@Westernwizard I was on loan to New Job, pending a transfer. Instead of transferring me, Old Job laid me off to cut their budget. in reply to Westernwizard #
@RobT43 Thanks, I’m trying to keep a positive outlook. in reply to RobT43 #
@Westernwizard I’m sure there’s a bookkeeping reason why it made more sense to drop me than transfer me, but it still sucks. in reply to Westernwizard #
w00t. Reading the new @jamesrollins in Stanza and listening to the new Douglas Preston on Audible. Not simultaneously. #
@Westernwizard The weird part is that I was transferring to a spin-off company, so I’d be off Old Job’s books in theory either way. in reply to Westernwizard #
@NotZura WITH A STICK. A STICK. in reply to NotZura #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-01-04

Yay, finally got the BT keyboard driver working on my iPhone! Between this and Evernote, I may not have to carry the netbook to write! #
@sunilsebastian I had it jailbroken already for ProSwitcher/Backgrounder, MyWi, My3G, Universal Search, etc. in reply to sunilsebastian #
@sethclifford I already had the BT Stowaway from my WM days. Some bugs, but a promising start. in reply to sethclifford #
@sunilsebastian Basically, I have the apps/UI of an iPhone, hackability of WM and multitasking of a Pre. in reply to sunilsebastian #
@sunilsebastian I have several. Stanza is probably the best. in reply to sunilsebastian #
@stinginthetail Sadly, a lot of people choose not to know that. in reply to stinginthetail #
RT @OTOOLEFAN: Do you think James Carville pretends Mary Matalin is really Marlee Matlin when the lights are off? #
Being a SF writer means doing the math to determine how long ago and far away a supernova had to blow for us to see it on a certain day. #
UC Blog: A new star in the sky http://bit.ly/4W2Duv #
@jkendrick Not to mention the variant “iSolate” in reply to jkendrick #
I think I speak for all of us when I say, “iTunes, you stupid piece of crap!” #
Spending the evening rebuilding my iPhone after a restore to factory defaults. How geeky is it that I really enjoy this? #
RT @robkroese Did you know that you can get #MercuryFalls on Kindle for $.99? http://bit.ly/mfkindle 62 5-star reviews! #
RT @EricStangel Colts: Bill Polian just announced Peyton Manning will sit out all playoff games to make sure he’s healthy for next season #
@BstiNatosi I’m in year 13 of my war on ennui. in reply to BstiNatosi #

@Alli_Flowers I just restored and rejailbroke my phone yesterday to start fresh. It’s a wonderful feeling. in reply to Alli_Flowers #
@JasonAMyersTX I took down my xmas decorations about ten years ago. in reply to JasonAMyersTX #
PUBLISHING TREND: Angels are rising. Mostly because hot air generates lift. #
Not that I’m bitter. Or that I wrote a book about a war with both angels and demons 13 gorram years ago. #justsayin #
@kdaleauthor Was it a no smoking room? in reply to kdaleauthor #
@crimsonsky76 I want me some iPhone HD this summer. Apple has to match HTC in screen resolution in 2010. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
@crimsonsky76 Also now that I’m hooked on multitasking with ProSwitcher, I need more RAM, but not enough to buy a 3GS just yet. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
RT @christianaellis: Avatar revolutionizes special effects, & uses them 2 tell a classic tale. Some ppl R LOOKING 4 things 2 dislike abt it. #
RT @christianaellis: That isn’t 2 say that ppl arnt allowed 2 not lk Avatar, if that’s how they feel, but I feel sry 4 them, b/c I loved it. #
@christianaellis Ditto, my sentiments exactly. If people are so cynical that they can’t enjoy a mythic tale well told, I pity them. in reply to christianaellis #
RT @scalzi: RT @upwithgravity: Spread the word for the Spider Robinson fundraiser? Only 2 days left: http://is.gd/5Dnh7 #

@niassa Enjoy! I loved it! in reply to niassa #
@jkendrick They learn quick, those Googlites. in reply to jkendrick #
@Ali_Davis I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. in reply to Ali_Davis #
@crimsonsky76 Exactly. The RAM limitation on the 3G has really got me jonesing for a better iPhone. The 3GS isn’t quite better enough. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
RT @FakeAPStylebook: Be careful when describing Bo Jackson. He knows. #
RT @OTOOLEFAN: Glenn Beck spends his free time on the street selling Maps to the Czars Homes. #
@nyneshaydee Great, now THAT’S stuck in my head. in reply to nyneshaydee #
Yes, please, hover RIGHT NEXT TO MY CUBICLE! No, it’s not distracting AT ALL. #
RT @lilithsaintcrow: RT @wired: Hello, I’m the written word and reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated: http://bit.ly/6Q3VEH #
So in the same year, we had movies titled “9” #
Grr, angry keyboard is angry. #
So in the same year, we had movies titled “9” and “Nine”. This seem odd to anyone else? #
RT @OTOOLEFAN: Who can you be bipartisan with a party whose whole strategy is to say “NO” to everything & hope the country fails? #
STAND BACK! I’M GOING TO USE SCIENCE! #
Actually, we had “9”, “Nine” and “District 9″ all in 2009. And now I’ve gone cross-eyed… #
@BstiNatosi Good catch, forgot about that one. in reply to BstiNatosi #
@nutzareus There is no winter on Pandora. At least not that we saw… in reply to nutzareus #
Ponders snowflakes in IMAX 3D versus just going the f**k outside… #
Cranky today. After 3 months at New Job, have 2 go back 2 Old Job next week until the transfer goes through. Inefficient on multiple levels. #
@PostBroncos Surprised Clady is starting and Champ isn’t, but otherwise a worthy roster. in reply to PostBroncos #
RT @WeeLaura: RT @pourmecoffee: TIP: You get through airport security a lot faster if you whisper “I love you” while being patted down. #
@tibbarerew I KNOW! in reply to tibbarerew #
@crimsonsky76 Depends. Did she arrive in a big flying saucer over a major city? in reply to crimsonsky76 #
@crimsonsky76 If she eats a hamster, just run. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
RT @OTOOLEFAN: So sick of the GOP making supermen out of boneheads who can’t even blow up their own underwear! #
RT @FakeAPStylebook: There are only three words in the English language that end in “gry”: angry, hungry, and schlongry. #
@julioangelortiz You’d think they’d be outraged that Joseph and Mary seem to be northern European. in reply to julioangelortiz #
RT @suzzzanna: Watched Food, Inc. not so long ago. Very distressing. Couldn’t eat meat for like a whole hour. #
When eating pre-shelled pecan halves, make sure none of them have legs. #justsayin #
@djohngo “Hey! This pecan is extra crispy!” #
There is nothing quite so pointless as the last couple of days on a job you’re leaving, especially on a holiday week. #
Psst. 2000 was not part of the 90s. This decade is finally almost over. #
@PostBroncos Good thing the season’s effectively over and he has the whole offseason to heal up. in reply to PostBroncos #
@stirwise I understand the math, but as none of us were alive in 1AD, I refuse to accept that 1980, for example, was not part of the 80s. in reply to stirwise #
@nyneshaydee As far as I’m concerned the first decade was only 9 years. in reply to nyneshaydee #
@nyneshaydee If you think a 9yr decade is weird, consider the guy we’re numbering for only showed up for the last week of that first year. in reply to nyneshaydee #
@stirwise I don’t agree. I think 1980, I think Reagan. /shudders in reply to stirwise #
@stirwise DO NOT TRY TO CORNER ME WITH LOGIC! in reply to stirwise #
RT @daveweigel: Oh, give it up, “decade isn’t over til next year” people. This is a hopeless cause. /Seriously! 1990 was not in the ‘80s! #
Being kicked back to Old Job really has me in a funk. Questioning all my writing decisions now. #
UC Blog: The paradox of originality http://bit.ly/8EfRs3 #
Still in the dumps today, so reaching for comfort music. In iTunes today: the complete Eagles discography. #dontjudgeme #
@CRA1G I get the math, but I refuse to concede that 1990 was not part of the 90 after which it was named. It’s an aesthetic difference. in reply to CRA1G #
@CRA1G Essentially, we ARE talking about an arbitrary collection of ten consecutive years. The 1990s were years starting with 199. in reply to CRA1G #
@rolandrsr Being exiled back to Old Job and doubting everyting about my book. Also, 2009 sucked. in reply to rolandrsr #
In retrospect, listening to the Eagles “Wasted Time” while depressed about my book was not my finest idea. #
@rolandrsr The exile back to Old Job? Maybe. No one seems to know for sure. in reply to rolandrsr #
@aslapintheface It’s hard to explain without sounding emo. Considering finishing the writing in private and shuttering the UC blog/wiki. in reply to aslapintheface #
@rolandrsr Indefinitely. in reply to rolandrsr #
@rolandrsr I am but a wee pawn in a political pissing contest. in reply to rolandrsr #
@aslapintheface I’ve been “taking a day off from writing” for two weeks now. in reply to aslapintheface #
@rolandrsr I know. I’m trying really, really hard to see the good things in life. They’re hiding. in reply to rolandrsr #
UC Blog: Call for feedback http://bit.ly/5lSfH6 #
On the upside, Air Force seems to be scoring at will against the University of Houston. Take that, Dad! #
@michellejnorton I’m feeling DEmotivated, so there. in reply to michellejnorton #
Houston’s Case Keenum has thrown 3 INTs in the first half. He knows the guys in blue aren’t on his team, right? #
#10yearsago I was a well-paid web developer, respected voice in mobile tech & actively dating. Now I’m bankrupt and living w/my parents. #
Needless to say, I consider the oughts my “lost decade”. Bring on the 20-teens! #
@crimsonsky76 I thought I could get past writing “in public” freezing my writing, but it’s a lot harder than anticipated. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
@sethclifford Yeah, I’m still here to rebuild, so there’s that. in reply to sethclifford #
“I coulda been somebody. I coulda been a contender. Instead of a bum. Which is what I am.” — Marlon Brando #
@joekeg Yeah, I really should know better by now. in reply to joekeg #

@Alli_Flowers Take it from me, it could be worse… in reply to Alli_Flowers #
RT @Maciek416: #10yearsago we wrote <blink>, now we write setInterval(function(){with($(“h1:visible”)){$(“h1:hidden”).show();hide()}},500) #
As bad as 2009 was, it was the year I wrote the first novel I’ve finished since 1997. #
@Tsothoga Damn, I’m old. in reply to Tsothoga #
@JuggerGrimrod Interesting. I can’t decide if UC is “ambitious” or “boringly trite” or “batshit crazy”. in reply to JuggerGrimrod #
@JuggerGrimrod Your “low-jick” confuses me. in reply to JuggerGrimrod #
Have moved on from the Eagles to straight on country, what John Cusack once called “the music of pain.” #
@nyneshaydee I’m going over to my friend and soon-to-be-former-boss’s house after work in a couple hours. Might cheer up w/some Rock Band. in reply to nyneshaydee #
RT @wilw: #tenyearsago my fiendish plot to crash the world’s computers was thwarted by a group of meddling kids and their dog. #
Starting to think waltzes (Take it to the limit, Saturday night) are inherently melancholy. #
Unfollowing people I have on Twitter lists. Just trying to make my tweetstream more manageable. #
@nyneshaydee Dont you need a boombox over your head to listen to that song? in reply to nyneshaydee #
@niassa Awesome! in reply to niassa #
I mock you with my monkey pants. #
#in2010 I will convert oxygen to carbon dioxide. Really, on a molecular level, I’m quite busy. #

@hennybottle Are you in my couch? in reply to hennybottle #
