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. #

#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. #

Just left neurologist. MRI confirms brain has not turned into block of cheese. Surviving law school well so far. 1.5 years to go. #
Hacked my AppleTV to make it behave like an Xbox Media Center — that has also been hacked. It's MC Escher hacking. #
My iPhone is Lal. My Macbook Pro is Artemis. My AppleTV is Luna. My old Powerbook was Galileo. Next device: Diana or Betty or Roger. #
Law school resumes for me in 48 hours. Here we go. #
At a Manly Sports Bar of Manfulness. They're playing Elton John. This pleases me greatly. #
Uncheck a file in an iTunes playlist, and it is automatically removed from your synced AppleTV. THIS IS LAME. #
Off to get textbooks. #
Dallas folk: tomorrow 98.7 FM is doing *every Elvis hit ever* in honor of his 75th birthday. Right now: Whitney Houston. Sigh. Elvis better. #
GET EQUIPPED:
BOX OF TEXTBOOKS.

Get your weapons ready!

… Feeling retro today. [Note: Text is taken from the Mega Man 2 "New Item Acquired" Screen.] #
Oh: that Elvis thing is Friday, not Thursday. Sorry. #
I love Fisher's _Evidence_ 2d Edition. Written with a very dry, sarcastic wit that's easy to miss if you aren't careful. Makes things fun. #
@jeffjarvis Hadn't heard of the bloggie before; looks really cool. What made you decide to get this over a Flip or something else? #

Bank of America has a very svelte mobile web #iPhone experience. Definitely better than Chase's native app. @gruber would approve. #
Happy Thanksgiving, all. #
@choochoobear Great comic, as usual. Also, "The Ballad of Barry Allen" is indeed awesome. in reply to choochoobear #
@GMFett Get any ducks? in reply to GMFett #

Not impressed with the #Mac builtin fax. Virtually no details on progress. I'd at least like an estimate of time to complete & current page. #
Doing a critical upload, Dark Knight soundtrack on. Feel like I'm a star in an epic movie. Like Jeff Goldblum in ID4 uploading the virus. #

Follow @BreakingNews for developing story of Honduran President being arrested by Honduran military after disputed election. (@newmediajim) #
Two grown men, six robots, and now our robot dog. This place is like some deranged 'Brady Bunch' spin-off. (via @DrAlbertWily) #
Amazing video — Do you hear the people sing? http://bit.ly/4Plhe #

Supreme Court to review business method patents (In re: Bilski): http://tr.im/nbBh . Next term will be interesting… #
“Pigs in Body Armor” would be an excellent name for a band. #
