Cleared 74 pages of Oil and Gas reading (1 week's worth) today. 62 pages of Evidence (1 week's worth) yesterday. Yay, productive weekends! #
Saints win. See you all at the Superbowl. (Seriously, this has been one of the hardest fought football games I've ever seen.) #
Just saw commercial for "Hot Tub Time Machine". Everything I've accomplished and had happen to me this weekend gone in a wave of fail. #
RT @BreakingNews: U.K. officially exits 18-month recession with figures showing 0.1 percent growth in last three months of 2009 – AP #

Anticipation.

iThing is coming.
#haiku #apple #
RT @BrentSpiner: Didn't Captain Picard used to play with a pad like that in his ready room? STAR TREK STRIKES AGAIN!!! | #apple #ipad #
#iPad as ebook reader: should be able to have an ebook open on 1/2 of screen, and notetaking app on the other. I do this on Macbook w/ PDFs. #
RT @BreakingNews: Ford announces a profit of $2.7 billion for 2009, its first annual profit in four years – AP #

RT @BreakingNews: U.S. wages and benefits for 2009 rise by the smallest amount on records going back 27 years, Labor Department says – AP #
#iPad will eventually have a dock-connector-to-component/HDMI video adapter. With the right software, you can then replace entire #AppleTV #
Evidence class is a lot like Criminal Law class. Reading admission rules/cases for prior sex crimes now. Flesh-crawlingly horrid stuff. #
More fantasy epics should feature heroes who ride into battle atop muscled, fire breathing winged unicorns. I have spoken. #unicornsareneat #
RT @BreakingNews: Google dropping support for Internet Explorer 6, still used on millions of computers worldwide http://bit.ly/9C9DrU #
Wanted to share some articles I've been reading around the 'Nets on the #iPad so I rounded them up and blogged them: http://is.gd/7kwbx. #
Just used Wordpress 2.9's built in WYSIWYG editor to compose a blog post. I haven't used it in years. It's gotten really nice. #
I've never stopped and listened to the words, but John Mayer's "Daughters" is one of the most sexist songs I've ever heard. #
Incredible sexism couched in a surrounding "Be a good Dad!" message. Impressive. #
Biting the bullet and starting a clean up of my OTHER email box. … 2700 messages. Oy. #
Just found a Google Voice invite in my mailbox. … How long has this been in here? I am a packrat. #
And, done. Gone from 2700 emails in my inbox to <300. Not bad at all. #

@ElizabethKnox Switching to Squarespace? in reply to ElizabethKnox #
@ElizabethKnox I'm waiting for Twitter integration before I contemplate a switch. in reply to ElizabethKnox #
Someone left this hairclip on the bathroom sink. Thought it was a spider. Too tired to panic. Though. http://yfrog.com/03y7rj #
RT @tabinstyle RIP Mr.Swayze RT @PhoenixArizona: PHX-AZ: Publicist: Actor Patrick Swayze Has Died http://bit.ly/23DhEb (via @mduncanvm) #
#iPhone Help Needed: I don't have any accessibility options under my General Settings on OS 3.1. What am I doing wrong? #
Wait. Is #iPhone OS 3.1' accessability stuff only for the 3GS? I have a 3G and can't see any of the options. #
@danielpunkass And everyone talks about how the web will become the OS. I really don't get why so many people think this is a great idea. in reply to danielpunkass #
My #Macbook Pro no longer puts itself to sleep when the battery gets low. It just shuts off. Is my battery dying? Help? #
@danielpunkass You make an interesting point, even if in jest. The fact that everyone's so eager for the web to be the OS is mind-boggling. in reply to danielpunkass #
Battery died and now claims only sixteen minutes to charge. Yeah. It's definitely busted. #
Is your bank ‘underwater’? Check its debt level here http://bit.ly/1QP3fU #
Saw Facebook singles ad w/ topless woman holding basketball over chest. Facebook ads == wannabe softcore porn. Why do we put up with this? #
That these ads are supposedly targeted is insulting. #Facebook must know business/pro users will never take them seriously w/ ads like this. #
@ElizabethKnox I fear those thumbs-down things. What if it's like trying to opt out of spam? "We've got a live one! Fire the missiles!" in reply to ElizabethKnox #
@ElizabethKnox I'll start doing it, then. Still, I maintain most of these ads aren't very classy at all. I think I'm having nerd rage. in reply to ElizabethKnox #
@Ihnatko How is that different from (at least a substantial percentage) of pro football? in reply to Ihnatko #
Staying up late to do Secured Transactions homework. #
Reading about farmee and farmor, which are just the assignee and assignor in a farmout agreement. Helpful terminology? Confusing? #
Just got done w/ Remicade infusion. Should be able to go another 8 weeks w/o turning into a pumpkin. #
Somewhere on the Internets, a giant mob of escaped Twitter avatars has gathered. There are many copies, and they have a plan. (via @wilw) #
Productivity. Already cleared Secured Transactions and some of Oil and Gas Contracts. Also got Remicade and laid siege to Kinko's. Svelte. #
Missed Kanye West outburst. For days, been seeing "Yo. Imma let you finish…" & wondering if someone dropped a language bomb on the 'nets. #
Everyone who thinks we can categorically say there isn't alien life just b/c we can't find it, see: http://is.gd/3qbeg. We're cosmic ants. #
@danfrakes I have an MX Revolution. Great mouse. I use the Mac's built in mouse controls and can control everything save the thumbwheel. in reply to danfrakes #
In Oil and Gas, "Support Agreements" are sometimes called "Letter Agreements," presumably b/c their function was otherwise too obvious. #
My #MacBook battery holds only 30% charge after 66 cycles. It's warranted to hold ~80% charge after 300 cycles. To the Apple Store. #
@choochoobear Is that a little or a lot for con tables? in reply to choochoobear #
On phone with Apple. Less than 2 minutes to get on the phone with a real live person. AppleCare is awesome. #
iStat Server thinks my iPhone's name is "Buffy's Phone." This is not at all the case. What's going on? #
