• @nancyscola I think it depends on what app you use to read Twitter, no? Here’s a test: http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com #
• @nancyscola Tthe http://www. is not sufficient for Thwirl to recognize a clickable URL, it seems. #
• @BrianR Seems like the latter. Bad karma, @carrboro. #

• @Chad_A_Johnston Cam Hill tried to pass a law limiting gas-powered blowers in Chapel Hill but everyone laughed. But he was right. #

• @asmartbear It’s like a blog entry with a permalink. You can still unpublish it and break links to it. But it’s hard to delete Tweets now. #
• @asmartbear Dunno, I never shop at iTunes (as a rule). Didn’t even think to look there… #
• Retweeting @andrew_dunn: #Blagojevich impeached 40-0. #

• Scroll to the bottom of Errol Morris’ NYT blog to see some amazing pictures of a very sad Bush after his final press conf: http://is.gd/heu9 #

• Halftime: UNC 46 – FSU 35. Thanks for Danny Green & Ed Davis & Wayne Ellington. Hansbrough can stay on the bench with his fouls. #basketball #

• @ggreeneva Yeah, well I don’t like him either. Juan Williams can #suckit. #
• Bummed to be missing both She’s Geeky and Fem 2.0 conferences this month. But I am busy doing the one thing only women can do… #
• @marshallk Hey did you get married already? If so, congrats! I knew you were engaged… #
• @msfour Uh yeah. “Man” isn’t a very good word for someone with a functioning (and in-use) uterus. Labels fail us again. #
• I think about 25% of my e-mail inbox would be eliminated if people would learn to ask Teh F-ing Google before asking me. #
• @SethJacobson Not in a delivery room right now, but I hope to be in about 2 months. Whether or not I tweet it, @BrianR probably will. #
• @ayse Bwa ha ha. Perfect. A little too snarky to use at work, unfortunately. #
• @BrianR I don’t imagine Rep. David Price takes a lot of advice from Rep. Virginia Foxx. She doesn’t represent the reality-bsed community. #
• OW. A woman gave birth (by C-section) to EIGHT babies yesterday. They were at 31 weeks gestation, which is how far along I am now. #
• @sonnycloward No, because (for me, at least) Facebook is a more private audience while Twitter is open & public. #

• Good morning. 50 new e-mails in my inbox! Is everyone else working on the weekend? #
• @pattychasevan It goes without saying that “home playing with kittens” is better than almost anything else one could be doing. #
• @smalljones, has there been more than one President Clinton? Isn’t “first” redundant? #

• @silverbell I’ve always hoped my cats would pick up some useful HTML skillz. They’re easily smart enough, but freakin’ lazy. #
• I am loving hand-me-downs. They’re like karma! Thanks for the latest gift, @mistersugar (& Erin, of course)! #
• Went to the gigantor Kids Exchange sale at NC fairgrounds today but were too demoralized by the 2-hour checkout line to buy anything. #
• @trikegirl Not sure, the queue snaked all over the huge building. A friend says it’s usually at least an hour. Next time we bring a posse. #
• Woah. UNC women’s basketball team is blowing my mind with PINK uniforms. Coaches have turned pink ribbon over to make a Y for Yow. ;-( #

• Mom coming for a visit this weekend – trying to decide whether to try to clean the house or just accept the disapproving comments… #
• Good point, @blogdiva & @jreesnc. I’ll give her the satisfaction of being needed & helpful. (I wonder if she reads my tweets via Facebook?) #
• Dear lazyweb, is there any way to import people to Basecamp en masse instead of creating users one by one? #

• Happy 36th anniversary of my (limited, diminishing) right to decide what goes on inside my body! Thank you, Roe v. Wade. #
• At the nutritionist who I will pay to tell me to eat better, duh. Radio in the waiting room tuned to some typical morning zoo-type crap. #
• I just paid over $100 to find out I can still eat ice cream. Grrr. #
• It’s really not that bad, but something about dealing with gestational diabetes just makes me want to take the rest of the day off. #notGSD #
• @ylove Is this you in this video? http://charterforcompassion.com/stories/145 I just discovered the Charter for Compassion & it’s awesome! in reply to ylove #

• 🙂 Retweeting @brianoberkirch: At what time today do they baptize all the old segregationists with firehoses? #
• @msfour I think it would have been insulting to call Muslims “nonbelievers.” He called them out by name, along w/ Xtians, Jews, & Hindus. in reply to msfour #
• @ayse, did you know MIchelle wore a different dress for the balls? http://tinyurl.com/768mrz in reply to ayse #
• @margot_lester Yikes! I think the sun will melt a lot of stuff. I really want to drive our new car, but am deathly afraid of black ice. in reply to margot_lester #
• @msfour Ah, I see what you’re saying. Still list-making is problematic w/o broad terms. It’s not like there are just 4 religions + atheists. in reply to msfour #
• Retweeting @baratunde: Via @BreakingNewsOn: PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA ORDERS GUANTANAMO BAY CLOSED WITHIN A YEAR. #
• Another inerminable call wherein I ‘splain to vendor how to do his job… Le sigh. #

• After a 140-minute phone meeting, I’m tempted to go into this vendor’s line of business. I would enjoy doing it myself more than this. #
• @darkmoon Nope. A web development vendor. I *could* actually do their job. (But I like them, and I don’t want to talk too much sh*t…) in reply to darkmoon #
• @silverbell You can come over here and be crabby with my cat. She totally deserves it. in reply to silverbell #
• Let’s all be clear on WHY Obama re-took his oath: b/c the Chief Justice of the MF-ing Supreme Court fucked it up. Incompetent, much? #
• @tuckcomatus I’m watching, just distracted. And UNC and Clemson are *tied* at 25 right now! #basketball in reply to tuckcomatus #
• Oh, and Hansbrough is playing with a mouthguard b/c someone’s elbow knocked a tooth lose. No foul called, natch. 🙁 #unc #basketball #
• UNC 45 – Clemson 40 at halftime. Feels like things are coming together. #basketball #
• Oh, I see the system now. You have to stick your hand in Hansbrough’s face three times in a row to get one foul call. #unc #basketball #
• Fortunately UNC is out-playing both Clemson and these useless refs. UNC leads 88-62 w/ 4 minutes left. #basketball #
• Final: UNC 94 – Clemson 70. Basically UNC switched on the defense in the 2nd half, and Wayne Ellington is back. w000t. #basketball #
