• Ever since I blocked a message from this racist moron, I sometimes get blank pages w/ just the Facebook header & footer, no content. #
• @jreesnc I briefly visited to the new 3cups a few weeks ago and felt even more uncomfortable there than I did at the old location. in reply to jreesnc #

• @jreesnc I usually get the feeling that I don’t know enough about coffee or wine to converse with the barista or even know what to order. in reply to jreesnc #
• @RobertP I don’t want or need their help. I just don’t enjoy being in that environment. in reply to RobertP #
• @jreesnc & I don’t feel like a slob when I go to Open Eye. But I’m not big on coffee shops anyway. I’d rather be at @weaverstreet or @ home. in reply to jreesnc #
• Join me in laughing at this ignorant racist on Facebook: http://tinyurl.com/5doygc #

• Wow, I found this guide to “How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you” just in time! http://is.gd/7hsH #
• I need to punch something. #
• @busymommaval There will be no tequila shots for me while I’m gestating! I’ll have one with you in spirit, though. #
• @matusiak I know, I’m not feeling like a good Buddhist today. Hopefully I am not actually acting my frustration… #
• This beautiful gentle rain in the trees is really not making me want to hunker down over work right now. Sigh. #
• Ahem. Retweeting @wonkette: Obama’s Staff Of Clinton Hacks Is Insufficiently Change-y: http://tinyurl.com/5mq44m #
• If – like me – you don’t like the direction of Obama’s appointements, the NYTimes lets you suggest cabinet picks for him: http://is.gd/76UZ #

• Fell asleep w/ visions of baby names & breastfeeding dancing in my head. Awoke cataloging the reasons I hate staff meetings. Hmm. #
• Hey fellow preggers (@trikegirl & mrs. @chimprawk), I have made a wonderful discovery: elastic shoelaces! Now I can put on sneakers again. #
• @tbeckett Where you been? 20 weeks and counting… #
• @tbeckett We don’t even know the baby’s *last* name yet, so give us time and hold the expectations. 😉 #
• Am really getting annoyed with the guy who supposedly wants to collaborate but won’t share any info with me! I can’t help you. Moving on. #
• @fionamorgan That depends on what you are talking about. I see 4 updates on your page now. BTW, welcome to Twitter, Fiona! 😀 #
• @martin_kelley That’s just the tip of the iceberg. I use the SS dB http://is.gd/78W8 & look up names’ etymology at http://is.gd/78Wb. #
• @jhlinko H&H is the only *real* bagel place I’ve found around there, but there’s a small deli around 75th-ish on the E side of Broadway. #
• @jhlinko I agree with @mrjellied. H&H is part of the UWS experience. Plus butter on a fresh bagel is hardly a principle I’d defend. #
• Anyone know a good tool to index a web site, ie: tally & list pages, images, & maybe directories? This ought to be simple. #
• BTW @tbeckett, I love advice, especially from folks like you whose values are similar to mine. Bring it on! #
• @martin_kelley So if Google:site is to be believed, we have over 4,000 pages! http://is.gd/79cU (Already have a local site archve.) #
• @msfour Heh, I don’t think there’s any risk of that. 😉 #
• @msfour But thanks for http://nymbler.com, I hadn’t seen that before. 🙂 #
• Very good idea! Retweeting @tbeckett: …a friend used the “President test” when naming kids. Had to sound appropriate for the president… #
• @tbeckett Then again… who would have thought someone named Barack Hussein Obama could be elected presisdent? 😉 #
• @martin_kelley Good point. If it has my last name, finding him or her on Google won’t be hard. #
• @fionamorgan I can’t say Hussein is on my baby name list, but it certainly passes the president test now. I do have other Arabic words. #
• Responding to a request for instructions to our board members about how to use Facebook Causes to raise money for us. Treading carefully. #
• Retweeting @wonkette: Dick Cheney To Show Joe Biden His Lair Tomorrow… http://tinyurl.com/6osd39 #

• Glad to see that Facebook users are much more interested in peace than in war. http://tinyurl.com/6dpjje #
• @gregoryheller Even if they don’t think of "peace" the way I do, it’s positive linguistically/cognitively. #
• @juliakm I’ve used OpenOffice (actually NeoOffice) to access DOC, XLS, & PPT files without translation. Is this some special kind of file? #
• @juliakm Oh. Well then I dunno. F-ing Microsoft. 🙁 #
• I’m sorry, but I don’t think having a dozen windows or tabs open at once is too much to ask of my browser. #Firefox disagrees. #
• "Welcome to Facebook Chat" WTF!?!? Do not want. #
• @Hillsborough Another day, another guess: Margaret & Queen? #
• Supreme court rejects legal challenge to lethal injection. Boo. #
• @tbeckett No, it’s not supposed to be painful. That’s considered "inhumane." It is supposed to be a deterrent, but it’s not that either. #
• @jreesnc If you read OP, you’d know that you don’t have to be affiliated to vote in the primary http://tinyurl.com/59grv8 #
• @blogdiva Are you seriously unaware of the Cult of Getting Things Done? I practivc my own version, aka GSD. (I get shit done.) #
• This is really cool: http://tinyurl.com/5vmueq Thanks for the link @webb! #
• @blogdiva thanks. http://dossy.org/twitter/karma/ is really neat, if badly named. #
• block barackobama4 #
• @tarheelcoxn I <3 Amarok! WIsh they made it for Mac. One day… #
• @pearlbear I only usa Amarok on my #Eee so far, so no. I buy my DRM-free MP3s from Amazon. Do you recommend Magnatune? #
• Does anyone use Crabgrass for groupware/projects? (eg: http://we.riseup.net) I want to, but it seems pretty buggy. #
• @kanter Thanks! http://grouptweet.com/ is just what #Twitter needed! (Along with http://quotably.com.) #
• OK, I’ve been left with no choice. Let the bad-mouthing of http://monolithmc.com begin. more to come… #mythtv #
• To clarify: #MythTV is awesome. MonolithmC is NOT awesome. Took our money, sent defective box, won’t replace, minimal support, no refund. #
• @abbyladybug Good luck with the surgery tomorrow. I’m sure you’ll feel better after it heals! #
• Just ate a Syrian candy bar named Ruby. Like Kit Kat but with my name on it. ‘Twas good. http://speedtrading.org/ruby.html #
• Gonna geek out on Drupal Views tonight and maybe watch the debate if I get enough done. #

• How is it I can go to bed and my web site is working, but when I wake up it’s totally broken? I’m back to the dread "User account 3" error. #
• Something about roles or permission is totally borked. Any drupal pros out there have a clue? http://orangepolitics.org #
• @lishevita I think if you look at http://orangepolitics.org, you’ll see the problem. #
• @ahynes1 The problem is on almost every page, not just the front. Even admin pages go to "User account 3." #
• @martin_kelley Congrats on your O’Reilly article! It looks really interetsing. For others: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596514006 #
• @arsepoetica Don’t worry, he’s just listening to more Talking Heads. I’m going to start tweeting B-52’s lyrics if he doesn’t stop. 😉 #
• Thanks to @vauxia and the crew at AdvatangeLabs for bringing OrangePolitics.org back to life! #
• Thanks, @BetsyMuse. It’s fixed, but I still don’t know what was wrong. #
• @tbeckett This ain’t no fooling around! #
• @webb Most valuable activity at #net2 is getting to meet the other people there. I suggest small group discussions. #
• @abbyladybug Sounds like a good time for a Lord of Rings marathon. Let me know if you want to borrow DVDs. 🙂 #
• @FORpeace asks "Anyone else’s parents active in the civil rights movement?" Mine weren’t, but my grandma was! #
• Trying real hard to #GSDby5 so I can go out with @dbarger & @arsepoetica, but it’s an uphill battle… #
• You wouldn’t think Twitter could *increase* mindfulness. But maybe… http://innertwitter.com #
• @dbarger OMG, it’s like someone made that pastry just fer you! The cute little chef "Eddie" is a nice touch. #
• @rosevines I vote for WordPress because it’s opens ource and the community of users & developers it seems larger and more supportive. #
• More proof that the Democratic primary battle is good for democracy (& good for NC): http://tinyurl.com/6mtsya (via @nprnewsblog) #
• @dweinberger Send my love to Doc. Glad to hear he’s doing better. #
• @juliakm it depends on what the NP wants to do, but there are many uses. Check out change.org app, causes app, pages w/ events, photos, etc #
• Ha! "Unmarried women are to progressives what evangelicals were to conservatives in 2004." http://rubyurl.com/mEPn #
• @fmedlin Good eye! You should tell @nprnewsblog. #
• @gregoryheller I think there are lots of tax resisting events today. Many are small local vigils. #

• @hc Wow, congrats to BlogAds for securing http://Wonkette.com (easily my fave national politics blog) as a customer. That’s huge. #
• It’s hard not to be bitter these days. http://bittervoters.org/ #

• Anyone else have trouble with Adium connecting to Gtalk lately. #
• @abbyladybug oh shit! I have had that breakup experience, so it’s probably the best for you. But still… Shit, you just started that job! #
• @Hillsborough Wild guess: Burlington? (Trivia by Twitter, great idea!) #

• Avatars respond to Jon Stewart’s teasing: http://tinyurl.com/6c5yy7 (I didn’t help, but my work is in some of the shots.) #
• @dbarger Gosh, you mean stale grease isn’t good for you? Whoudathunkit! #

• Debating whether to explain to Company X that leaving me an unhappy customer may be detrimental to their 100%-online small business. #

• @dcm I’m trying to reinstall but I feel like the residual garbage (that I screwed up) is not going away. #
• @Katrinskaya http://doodle.ch is the meeting scheduler of choice thee days. It’s very simple, and works nicely. #
• Oooh, rememberthemilk.com’s Gmail interface just got better. When did that happen? Thanks @RTM! #
• Sending "have we met?’ msgs to a bunch of friend requesters on Facebook. If you don’t even look familiar, then we are not "friends," m’kay? #
• @dbarger & @dcm me too, except for the futból. #
• Traction’s "Electile Dysfunction" show is really neat. All kinds of music/drama/happenings. Not too late to come! 410 Geer, Durham. #
• Loving this band/invention called "Invisible." They’ve got a big wheel w/pegs controling all manner of flaps, drums, & doodads in time. #
• @BrianR says it’s an "analog sequncer." I say "OK." Also got a theremin and a bunch of other digital noisemakers. #

• Um wow. "Disney presents: The story on Menstruation." This is not a joke. http://www.devilducky.com/media/43631/ #
