Cool: IKEA has a Baby Care Room w/ comfy chair & diaper dispenser. Lame: It’s in a bathroom. Like I want to stare @ a toilet while nursing. #

@deanero I don’t get it. Are you trying to minimize downloads? Kinda funny, but… in reply to deanero #
F-ing exhausted and contemplating a trip to IKEA. It might be worth it to get a new bed, though. #

Have discovered the corollary to ‘hop on pop’: poop on mom. #
OMG. Planned attacks on Jews in the Bronx targeted Riverdale where I have family members. Oy! #
Wish I could convince my family to use Flickr (or even Facebook) to upload pictures instead of sending me huge attachments. #
Wow, when did Ning become Facebook? #
(Not literally, it just has a lot of the same features, including char bar at bottom of page, etc.) #Ning #Facebook #
@Jerimee Cool, but video/audio starting on page load is a major turnoff. There are 2 things playing & I can’t figure out how to stop it! in reply to Jerimee #
Whitehouse launches huge open gov’t initiative. @mlsif & @nancyscola explain at TechPresident.com: http://is.gd/C5HD #
Rtwt @msfour: so my 6 year old dropped the f-bomb today. i think the shock on my face told him everything he needed to know. #
Wow, I think we found an awesome baby sitter. What a relief! #
Kewl! Rtwt @baratunde: MAJOR NEWS: I’m hosting a TV show about the future for @ScienceChannel and @PopSci. #
@rachelannyes Dag, I wish we could ride to #netsquared together again. SF tweeps: give Rachel a ride! She’s fun & edutational! #nptech #

Has anyone used the Amazon Mechanical Turk lately? I played w/ it when it came out. Now considering using it for real… #
@blakewatters Ha ha, if only there were a way! No, it has to do with analyzing > 1,000 pieces of content to migrate to a new site. in reply to blakewatters #

@ericagee Apparently I have to get tested for diabetes post-partum. But I have been preparing this time, and plan to ace the test. #
Got all excited for the last 2 hours b/c I thought it was Friday. Figured it out by the # of Daily Shows I have recorded. #
@olray …and you’re tweeting, which makes my day better. 😉 Hope all gets better shortly, Auntie Lion. in reply to olray #

After seeing Yusuf on Stephen Colbert, I’m feeling compelled to purchase this seminal album of my childhood: http://rubyurl.com/RS0j #
@kanter w00t. Go Beth. in reply to kanter #
Sitting on the porch with @IzzySinreich. Wish I could get paid for this. Sigh. #
For the record, sending an e-mail to terminate a contract during someone’s maternity leave is not very professional. Nor legal, methinks. #
@tbeckett Yer darn tootin’. in reply to tbeckett #
For the record: it wasn’t my contract. Someone who was working for me quit (4 days postpartum). If she hadn’t, I’d fire her for this. #

@preblog Enter Palm Pre Contest #
Tried to walk w/baby to coffeshop. Only made it to the park. Recovery from childbirth is slow. But at least I’m not F-ing pregnant anymore! #
WryBaby makes hilarious kid stuff! Sad to see idiotic gender stereotypes on their site: http://bit.ly/b6ZTq #
It seems like FriendFeed is what Twitter ought to be (friend lists, threaded comments, images, etc.). Wish we could all move there. #
@yancyscot FriendFeed is no extra effort, it just sucks in the stuff you’re already doing on other sites. in reply to yancyscot #
Only 2 women out of 32 recommended feeds, @FriendFeed? Really? Is it just me? http://www.flickr.com/photos/rubyji/3543539990/ #

Hangin’ at @WeaverStreet with @IzzySinreich, waiting to meet up w/ the spring baby posse. #

Last night @IzzySinreich set a personal record, waking me up to feed no less than 5 times, & topped it off w/ some diaper antics this AM. #
The tasks “feature” they’ve added to @Google Calendar are so badly done that they are literally worse than nothing. Stick w/ @RTM. #
@tbeckett Yes we do, but have some logistical challenges. #
Spent the morning researching how to deal w/ sleep deprivation http://is.gd/ALHp (between feedings, natch). #
Trying catch up on e-mail from the immediate post-partum period. There is a lot of it. #
! @TrixieTracker Love your new non-grapic submit buttons – a small change that will make my life a lot easier! #Usability FTW. #
! @fem2pt0 Yr twitter event always starts when I’m going to bed (or exhausted). I guess that illustrates yr feminist/mommy divide. #
@minorjive The @trixietracker isn’t public, just web based. Needs an SMS interface, tho. #

Is he sleeping if his eyes are still (barely) open? #
http://www.wolframalpha.com thinks it’s pretty smart. #
Yay, the neighbood pool is now open. And attracting kids like flies! Don’t grownups like to swim? #

So, I <3 my #Treo 680, but I need a phone w/ wifi now. Should I get an #Android G1 or wait for the #Palm Pre? (2 mo left on Treo contract.) #
oops. 🙁 #

Hitting the wall. #
! @LauraLeslie Touché. Thanks for the live news from the N.C. General Assembly & the sense of humor. #
Good thing Twitter made that change to @replies to improve performance, huh? #fixreplies #twitterfail #
Amen! Rtwt @rootwork: Email appeals that have no web version make Tweets about them impossible. #nptech #
Jut tried to plug a Twitter feed into Feedburner (which has now been swallowed by Teh Goog), but it didn’t validate. 🙁 C’mon, Twitter! #
I’m sure some of you will appreciate this. Rtwt @wootoff: $1.49 : Bacon Salt http://www.woot.com #
! @trixietracker It’s times like this (signal is crappy & Treo browser barfs) that I really wish you’d take commands via txt or tweet. #
