  • Tyrion in A Song of Ice and Fire is one of my favorite characters ever. #
  • Muhahahaha, now I can stalk @louiseblack. #

  • Love Calibre. It's the iTunes for books. #
  • Flight to SF delayed 90 minutes. #
  • My wife is trying a new packing technique. Rolling instead of folding. We'll see how it goes, but it certainly takes less space. #
  • Another flight delay. Looks like I'm missing my scheduled dinner. #
  • Upgraded to first class. Nice. #
  • I'm at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) (SFO, Millbrae) w/ 16 others. http://4sq.com/MTivk #

  • The Mavs are pissing me off. #
  • Curious what everyone is reading. So what are YOU reading? #
  • By the way, after a detour to read The Dependable Wife, I'm about a third of the way into Blood Meridien. #
  • Looks my daughter is having a fabulous time interning for @louiseblack. #
  • Any way to filter out @ replies from people you aren't following in twitterific? #
  • Wow, John S in Dallas has over 1500 points in @foursquare. #
  • Kids back to school today. I'm back to work. #
  • Sushi and pizza for lunch. Not my finest gastronomic moment. #
  • My dog poops a lot. #
  • Woo! My Barnes & Noble Nook is being delivered ahead of time. Should be here on the 22nd. #
  • Enjoying Blood Meridien, and I appreciate it as an achievement, but I liked McCarthy's other books much more. #
  • Watching TV with Lea. #
  • Loving my Nook. I can see myself spending so much money on ebooks. #
  • Hottiecarmen is now following me in Twitter. Clearly my profile pic won her over. #
  • Can now move Kindle books over to my Nook. #hackerwin #
  • Moving more books over to my Nook. #
  • I wonder if Jott still sends a link to the audio for Twitter posts.
    http://tinyurl.com/ybajldj #
  • I thought that you have to include the link but now i find out that it's an option turned it off short for twitter rocks. #
  • Ha, that should have been Jott for Twitter rocks. #
  • Holy shit, I am LOVING Twitbird for iPhone. Way better than Twitterific. #
  • 9 hours of sleep. That's the ticket! I tend to erase my sleep deficits on the weekend, which is probably not healthy. #
  • Getting brunch for the family. #
  • The Pens situation seems similar to the Mavs this year. Sans the title. #grumble #
  • Mavs: wow. Just wow. #
  • At the playground with Willow and Mia. #
  • Sweet. Car wash guarantee means a free car wash this weekend. Thank you, rain. #

  • Reading A Reliable Wife by Goolrick. So far it's plodding and overwritten. The switch to 3rd person omniscient also threw me. Not hopeful… #
  • Just saw doctor. I sure hope this is a sinus infection and not a new allergy. #
  • Kids are watching Labyrinth. #
  • Ugh.. Writing three page internal monologues about lust and desire is not characterization. #
  • Just walked with the wife. We're both training to run the White Rock Marathon next year. #
  • Iphone is unstable. Not sure if it's the phone or the fact that I've hacked the shit out of it. Will restore to factory default and test. #
  • Hrm. Looks like the jailbreak made my phone unstable. Need to test each hacked app. Boo! #
  • Trying to rebuild my hacked iPhone without making it unstable. I feel like a surgeon. #
  • So far so good on the iPhone reclamation project. #
  • I want to live my wife's life. I get the kids ready for school and drive them in while she sleeps in every morning. #
  • Ah, sleeping in… What a wonderful feeling! #
  • Dropping Willow off at a classmate's party. #
  • Bluetooth keyboard and iPhone MS office app (documents To Go) is just like using a laptop. #
  • Running out to get dinner for the family. #
