  • Opening my present! #
  • Happy fake birthday #Jesus! Hope you're not mad about the whole winter solstice thing #
  • After the media swallowed Bush Admin's false assertion that SH/Iraq were funding AQ hook & sinker, is it a surprise people want alt media? #
  • Playing some computer games while Laura sleeps on the couch. I'm pretty sure she's just ignoring all the bloodshed though. #
  • Drumming along to Kings of Leon is hard. Hard but fun. #

  • Our church fathers were very prescient in their drive to boil every giant theological construct down to one word. Twitter thanks them. #
  • They forgot to mention that setting up your own Launchpad implementation would involve a large portion of your life. #ubuntu #
  • Bedtime! #
  • I can do a really good James Macdonald impression. It mostly involves — LISTEN — yelling and making baseless inflammatory statements. #
  • For Indians, "no" means "yes". They'll proceed to bargain you down from no to yes. Start with this assumption. It's all good haggling. #
  • Cleaning out other people's inboxes. That's the shit. #
  • Random people following me… Random people being blocked by me. Circle of life. Rawr. #
  • I feel strange. Shaky. #
  • Beer in the office alert! #

  • "Anyone who says Jack White's a badass needs to be hit with a kipper." #quotes #
  • District 9? Awesome. #
  • The Incredibles? Still awesome, all this time later. #
  • No, the tools are still sitting there because you specifically decided to do everything else first. #
  • Don't use "in this day and age". Make you look old. Might as well chase with "them intertubes" and then toss your teeth at people. #
  • Going to be honest here, I think the Holocaust deserves a little more than a "not cool, duuuuude". #
  • So… my "urgent" stamp is floating in green jello. #
  • No, I quoted what I quoted. Don't try to change it. Go away. Shut up. Be a normal person. #mrsales #
  • As I get older I learn how much cooler it is to go to bed early. Also nose hair. Wicked cool, dude. #
  • I hate it when newspapers give half a stat. 30% increase is meaningless without a baseline. Vanishing x 1.3 = still vanishing. #
  • This is my music player trajectory: WinAmp > iTunes > WinAmp > Songbird > WinAmp > FooBar2000. And I freaking LOVE FooBar2000. #
  • Installing Apache. #ubuntu #
  • The Kubuntu boxes we're running here at work (we're at 50% Linux deployment for desktops, iirc) are truly set-it-and-forget-it. <3 #ubuntu #
  • Don't be so quick to pounce on other people's mistakes. Mercy to the merciful and all that. #
  • I have not the talent, which some people possess, of conversing easily with those I have never before seen. But I can quote Jane Austen. #

  • I love how when you ask someone to explain their decision, they frantically start making up reasons. #
  • Just shut up. #threewordsforyou #
  • The Explainer: "Can a state be kicked out of the union? I am thinking, of course, of Texas." #quotes #
  • "You can never be too careful." Of course you can. You can paralyse your life trying to rid it of risk. #stupidsayings #
  • Imma teach this fat guy to pull chicks? Whaaaaat? #awhellnaw #
  • Making soup stock. #
  • Idea: T-Shirts that have personas like Firefox. #idea #
  • You know you're going to get sick before vacation. You know it. So stop taking vacations! #
  • "I am the bastard son / of everything and everyone…" #quotes #
  • "You can call it elementary. Blend with symmetry. Periodically, we all come together like it was meant to be." #quotes #
  • Welcome to Jamrock! #
  • http://www.explosm.net/comics/1896/ ROFL #
  • I'm pretty sure ingenuity, laziness, and stupidity are the holy trinity of inventions. #
  • Pitchfork: "That's true, to the extent that it no longer sounds like four dudes doing calculus in a firestorm." #quotes #

  • Fyi, "It's not your fault. You're a woman." is /never/ an effective line of reasoning. #
  • RIP Brittany Murphy. I still don't like much of your work. #
  • So yeah, having the coffee cravings. Maybe I should make tea instead. #
  • I am confounded by people. #
  • Pizza gives me indigestion. #
  • I rejoice in the opportunity to mark a follower as spam. Dismissed… with prejudice! #
  • Theory: JJ Abrams has a time/alt uverse machine. He goes to future alt uverses and finds the best TV, then comes back here. #
  • Theory: JJ Abrams only ever gets the first two seasons with his time machine, which explains why the rest of the seasons all suck. #
  • Rebekah: "I love assholes." #quotes #
  • Best orange ever. #

  • Laura's quite the grumpy little bird today. Not fun! #
  • At starbucks enjoying a Earl grey. Too hot atm, but soon very relaxing. #
  • Not enough battery left now. Stupid me forgetting to recharge last night. #
  • Yeah go ahead and let the cold air in. That's the ticket. #
  • I don`t watch the news. The news is designed to bypass the part of my brain that deals well in modern life, and tickle the inner caveman. #
