• Retweeting @FORpeace: Reaching out – If it’s good for Republicans, why isn’t it good for Iran? http://tinyurl.com/azowjd #
• @MeEloise I do the same thing. Always switch to streams from WAMU or WNYC (AM) during WUNC’s pledge drive. #
• I slept sitting up b/c of reflux last night and now all I want to do is lie down. #pregnancy #
• @lisawilliams Yes, Tums Smoothies are my very good friends. And as @catcloud points out, there’s always light at the end o fthe tunnel. 😉 #
• Thanks, Ivan! Retweeting @rootwork Finally moved the Nonprofit Twitter Pack to its own page. http://tinyurl.com/cwtprn (expand) #nptech #
• @lisawilliams I feel confident that I’ll be ready when it’s time. Except a few important logistics like childcare (!). #
• This month’s regular meeting with Mr. Doesn’t Play Wll With Others was even worse than usual. Becoming a real problem. #
• Me: “I can’t give feedback on things I don’t know about.” Him: “That’s not helpful.” err? #

• Rtwt @uncpressblog: ethicist Karey Harwood (author of The Infertility Treadmill) on the California octuplets case http://tinyurl.com/bv2rqj #
• @msfour It’s OK. Look how great I turned out anyway! 😉 (Dunno the back story, but you can probably say the same.) #

• Happy birthday to @smalljones, @davidb, and BIlly Sugarfix! All 3 of you are in good company with each other. #
• Oooh, looks like my Google Calendar just got gears (offline access) too. Finalmente! #
• Again? Anyway, good news. Retweeting @dcm: Spinal Tap have reformed: http://bit.ly/95bC #
• Woke up at 4:30 AM needing to make an org chart. Indulging myself in OmniGraffle now. #
• @WomenWhoTech Boss’ visit went well, thanks. Always good to connect with colleagues that you don’t see much. Now mulling some Qs raised. #
• I love you, OmniGraffle. #
• I’m suprised no-one has made a 3rd-party add-on to Gmail that would allow people to merge contacts. Even at $1 per user you’d make a mint. #
• @josephrschwartz Thx. I heard it on the radio for real this morn! BTW, I didn’t say the bill “won’t work” but that it won’t matter. 🙂 #
• @feral_child Actually, Google makes it easy to find and add on all kinds of gadgets for using their tools. eg: http://is.gd/5gc #
• “Hey, let’s start an independent media center!” <– It’s how I met my husband, it works! #nerdpickuplines #
• Suddenly have a strong desire to be on vacation in London. Not likely to be able to act on it for a long, long time. Sigh. http://is.gd/ixtr #
• @bekamop Yes we did, but it only lasted a few yrs. Fortunately, someone else picked up the torch, kinda. http://nc.indymedia.org #

• Methinks the author’s of UNC’s new “sit-in policy” don’t understand the point of civil disobediance. http://is.gd/im6C #
• @Braineyson My guess is Graves did something seriously bad but not illegal. I don’t know how this can stay secret. #unc #basketball #
• @jacksonfox It’s getting there. Gmail should add navigation by keyboard as well… #
• @jacksonfox Awesome, but why no ‘go to [label]’ shortcut? I know there’s a Labs feture, but I’d like a button that works like Move to. #
• @ayse No problems logging in, but my Gmail gadgets still keep breaking, disappearing, or rearranging themselves. #
• @kellan I was just thinking how it’s crazy to put the spam & delete buttons right next to the archive button, which has the opposite effect. #
• Good episode on the State of Things right now about post-partum depression. I can’t wait to get mine. http://wunc.org #
• @josephrschwartz Mortgage payments are awesome! So much better paying yourself instead of some a**hole landlord every month. #
• About to have my boss (who lives in NY) visit my office here in NC. Which is IN MY HOUSE. Freaking out? Just a little… #
• @WomenWhoTech Uh, my entire *house* is messy. And smelly. (Thank you, 15-year-old cat that has never learned proper manners.) #
• @tbeckett 🙂 I tried to steer him to @CarrboroCowork, but the flip side is that I want him to see me telecommuting in my natural habitat. #
• This was a really good show on postpartum depression. Rtwt @wunc: State of Things: Motherhood & Mental Health… http://tinyurl.com/c6etsb #
• @efriend Thanks, I didn’t hear it on @wchl but hope the clips at http://wchl1360.com/details.html?id=9331 will work soon. in reply to efriend #
• @pink_plaid Yes, but considering my circumstances, I think I might as well prepare for PPD. Hope for the best but expect the worst… in reply to pink_plaid #

• DMV fail #537: I can never complete my business in just 1 visit. There’s always one more document, person, or $$$ needed. #
• And for the record, I spent 20 min on the phone w/ DMV yesterday just to make sure I would have everything I needed when I went today. #
• @akeenan Normally, I would expect just that (queue up just to find out what I’m missing) but I stupidly thought calling 1st would help. #
• @akeenan Agreed, which I should have known b/c the DMV phone person was helpful & didn’t make me feel less human. Obv no connection. #
• @jayrosen_nyu Here’s an interview with one paper that really *gets* local: http://tinyurl.com/d4z5vt #
• @Chad_A_Johnston Come on over if you want to watch the game w/ us! #
• Waah, can’t listen to @WCHL, Woody’s not even on the same possession as the TV. 🙁 #
• Err, last tweet was abt #UNC #basketball. Beating MD 10-4, 2 min into the game. #
• Caoch Wms just called a time out and then had nothing to say to the guys! So they circled up & talked to ea other. Lead=10. #unc #basketball #
• UNC leads MD 60-44 at halftime. #basketball In other news, I’ve noticed the upward migration of Ty Lawson’s facial hair, & I don’t like it. #
• UNC leads MD 101-75 w/ over 5 min left! 16 3-pointers so far, a season record. #basketball #
• Oooh, new menus (same features) in my Gmail inbox. Still can’t merge contacts. 😛 #
• Final score: UNC 108 – UMD 91. #basketball. Nice game. #
• Big news at UNC: Marcus Ginyard will officially red shirt this year. Will Graves is suspended from play for the rest of the year (grades?). #
• Gmail doesn’t seem to have a way to un-archive or move a message to the inbox anymore…? And what is “mute?” #
• @BoraZ @xxdesmus Ah, I didn’t see inbox down at the bottom of the Move to menu. Thanks! #
• A ha! RT: @andrewjcohen: in gmail, “mute” forces the convo to skip your inbox even if future messages arrive. Good for chatty discussions. #

• @chimprawk Hang in there! That baby’s just not done baking yet. Will be thinking of you & C. #
• Oooh, local burlesque here in Chappy & Durm! http://is.gd/i5vU On my birthday too… #
• Enjoying the #fem2 tweets! Keep it up, @blogdiva @nerdette @holdie1 @QuickBrownFoxNC. Get over there, @JulieG! Why aren’t you there, @naral? #
• Whoops, also following @digitalsista, @ElisaC at #fem2 :-). Will any updates be posted at http://www.fem2pt0.com ? (Still h8 that logo.) #
• @msfour What would you have done without Groundhog Day? 😛 #
• @ayse Totalmente! Wonder if they provide childcare on site? #fem2 #fem3 #
• @Fem2pt0 Thanks. I didn’t ask for it b/c I don’t have a kid yet! 32 weeks prego = not travelling to DC for cool conferences. #fem2 #
• @ayse Aw, you rock. But I want you a the conference! Looks like @MomsRising is tweeting #Fem2 as well, for those keeping score at home. #
• Rtwt @QuickBrownFoxNC: Single moms make about $.60 to a man’s dollar, vs $.73 for married moms, vs $.90 for women without children. #fem2 #
• @silverbell Good idea. I might institute a $0.05 charge for weekend e-mails, especially. Would make a couple dollars every week. #
• @rachelannyes All of my domains are registered through http://gandi.net or http://dreamhost.com. Both are good. #
• @RobertFischer I haven’t studied it, but I bet all of them make more than their female counterparts. #
• @foreachdev http://tinyurl.com/caexlb #
• Thank you! Retweeting @Mlsif: Bookmark this one: OldJewsTellingJokes.com. Here’s my favorite of the batch: http://snurl.com/b60mf #humor #
• @Mlsif All my good jokes I learned from my fam, & none of them are safe for “polite” company. Now I know it’s not just me! #jewish #heritage #
• Democracy in Action does some of the worst trainings/webinars I have ever attended. Sorry, friends. #nptech #
• @rootwork I have taken most of the trainings DIA offers. Now in a webinar on “reports” which is one of the most F-ed up parts of Salsa, IMO. #
• @rootwork Yes, I still ♥ Democracy in Action. I just wish someone would give me a big grant to re-design their entire interface. #nptech #
• Speaking of Democracy in Action, I created a Drupal grp to discuss DIA/Salsa integration. Pls join: http://groups.drupal.org/salsa #nptech #
• Err, I should have said: I created a group to discuss DIA/*Drupal* integration (not Salsa, duh). http://groups.drupal.org/salsa #
• @randomdeanna Yes I love their work (hi, @EricG) but they’re usually too expensive/busy for me. #
• @randomdeanna They seem to be building custom tools for very specific purposes. I just want a simple pipe btw DIA & Drupal (to start with). #
• @fatbellybella Congrats on your natural homebirth and props for tweeting about it! #
• Check out Dreamhost apps, FREE hosted WordPress, Drupal, Mediawiki, etc. (or cheap w/ yr own domain). Not bad. http://tr.im/e7ib #
• Rtwt @erinrwhite: NC rep. may debut a v-day marriage amendment: http://icanhaz.com/bigotry help equalityNC say STFU: http://ow.ly/8Lq #
• @ntenhross Barf. Give him the boot. #

• Rtwt @Jerimee: According to Democracy NC, if 5 voters in each precinct had not voted for Obama, he would have lost NC. Evry vote counts. #
• @RobertP Tom Robinson’s seafod, natch. #

• Been opening bills and hope I never set foot in UNC Hospitals again for the rest of my life. Or until their Drs & my insurance improve. #
• I can haz clementines! #
• UNC beats NC state 93-76. Mike Copeland costing us some major cool points at the end, tho. Lame. #basketball #
• @svetter The service is always crappy at Milltown. I can count on having a bad time nearly every visit. The Station is far superior. #
