  • What’s better than waking up in the middle of the night, and lying in a pool of anxiety until the alarm goes off? Great way to start the day #
  • Is *anyone* actually suprised the Bristol Palin isn’t marrying her babydaddy? Trying to tamp down the schadenfreude over here. #

My philosophy

One of my colleagues just summed up what I said in a meeting (about how to plan for my impending maternity leave from work):

Ruby Ji Sinreich on Life: Things could happen at any time, but I don’t think they will. But they always could, so I’m trying to prepare for that.
(as best as I could get it)

Speaking of maternity, pregnancy updates are being posted at http://brianandruby.org

  • @pearlbear, do you still have that nptech vendor wall of shame? I have some IMs to post there (in a few months, when the project is over). #
  • Does anyone use OmniOutliner, and if so do you know how to export a document with the columns intact? Tabs are throwing everything off… #
  • Wow. Rtwt @noneck: RT @1Sky: BREAKING: Van Jones confirmed as Obama’s ‘Green Czar’! http://tinyurl.com/bf6mdf (Please RT!!!!) #
  • AAAARGH. Google apps, you used to work so well. Now you slowly make up your mind about whether to ignore me each time I click on something. #
  • I’ll say one good thing for this vendor: his ADD makes me feel so much better about my own inability to stay on task. #
  • @UNC_Chapel_Hill You can also subscribe to my calendar of all #UNC #basketball games (including tournaments) at http://is.gd/1X3p #

  • Rtwt @natthedem: Okay, I’m sure N. Iowa and Illinois St are great teams, but is CBS really going to show OT of this game over Duke/UNC? #

  • @Bosrunner Scheyer pulled Thompson to the ground & sat on his head = foul by Thompson. #insane #ACC #officiating. #beatdook in reply to Bosrunner #
  • Might not have been Scheyer, some dookie or other on that last tweet, but he just traveled like a mofo w/ no call.. #

  • Can’t decide whether to pretend to ignore this bad mood, or let go and wallow. It’s sort of a lose-lose. #
  • Rtwt @jayrosen_nyu: Ppl disagreeing w/ “information wants to be free” have no idea who they are arguing against. This does not bother them. #
  • @yugen Good luck with that. (And let me know if you figure it out.) #
  • As if it wasn’t hard enough to focus today, #UNC’s 1st game in the women’s #ACC #basketball tourney starts in 10 min. http://is.gd/1X3p #
  • Rtwt @newsobserver: Twitter boosts public access to federal courtrooms: Order in the court, including you tweeter! http://tinyurl.com/bf9vck #

  • Following @theACC is actually a more effective way to get #baskeball updates than the doohickeys on the ACC web site: http://is.gd/m7P9 #
  • Oh, and following @natthedem is even better. πŸ˜‰ in reply to natthedem #
  • Cool. Rtwt @theACC: @ruby yup, we are having internet issues with the stat monitor, it will be back up ASAP. Stay tuned for more updates. #
  • Hey @RobMugabe, you wouldn’t happen to know anything abt the car crash that injured Morgan Tsvangirai and killed his wife, now would you? #
  • Rtwt @TheACC: Carolina takes their 1st game of the tournament 74-55. They will face the winner of MD/Wake tomorrow. #unc #women #basketball #
  • @blogdiva I like the *idea* of agile development, but the way I’ve seen it used is in lieu of adequate planning, which is no help at all. in reply to blogdiva #
  • Let’s hear it for good job applications with good ideas and good references! Another leading applicant won’t give me any refs, WTF? #

  • Ever since I upgraded @twhirl, it likes to sporadicly pretend it has no accounts upon startup. Pls don’t make me enter everything AGAIN… #
  • This #Twhirl thing is esp annoying b/c it takes forever to get all the config right, and I have to re-do it for every account each time. #
  • Rtwt @dcm: RT @lessig: Congressman John Conyers is trying to fight “open access.” Please help us fight back: http://ping.fm/6ILgy #

  • Am following #drupalcon at http://tinyurl.com/57xfrn, but have to keep working too… #
  • Rtwt @PPCNC: Welcome new Twitters. Follow Planned Parenthood of Central NC as we lobby & tweet in the NC General Assembly (NCGA). #

  • *Standing up & waving.* RT @missmeaghan: In honor of #Women2Follow & #drupalcon, will all chick Drupal developers please stand up? #
  • @ableparris I rarely believe ppl who refer to themselves as “gurus.” The word means teacher, not self-appointed expert (that’s a “maven”). #
  • Rtwt @FORpeace: Just found @AlterNet, @MotherJones, & @TheNation. Was already following @DemocracyNow & @YesMagazine. Go progressive media! #
  • Amen! Rtwt @newsobserver: Lousy timing by ACC and officials: The ACC has an officiating problem… http://tinyurl.com/detmaa #

  • My #Gmail just crashed #Firefox. Impressive level of #fail. #
  • Having a difficult time deciding whether yoga class will make me feel better or worse right now. #
  • @braineyson Sorry, but until you’ve had pubic symphesis pain, you don’t know. Plus I am especially wobbly today. #
  • @MeEloise @Braineyson My aren’t you squeamish, girls! (Look it up: http://is.gd/lPMe) Of course, I don’t get the cocktail either. πŸ˜› in reply to MeEloise #
