  • 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. πŸ™ #
  • 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. πŸ˜› #
  • 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. #

  • @msfour What would you have done without Groundhog Day? πŸ˜› #
  • @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. #

  • 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 β™₯ 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 #

  • @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. #

  • To the landscaping company that decided 7:45 am was a good time to fire up the leaf blowers outside our window: fuck you, too. #
  • @Chad_A_Johnston Cam Hill tried to pass a law limiting gas-powered blowers in Chapel Hill but everyone laughed. But he was right. #
  • Was all ready to blame leaf blowers for everything shitty today. Nutritionist sez I can blame them for my high glucose, too! #
  • Nutritionist also sez I should eat MORE, esp more fat! Where can I get some whole wheat donuts? #
  • @msfour Mmm, milkshakes are a good idea. I think I’ll go to Elmo’s soon… #
  • Hey. My Gmail (for domains) interface just changed before my eyes! But I still don’t have themes. & Goog Cal gadget hasn’t worked for days. #

  • Ah! My Gmail (for domain) just got Gears. Finalmente! Now when will I have the awesome power to merge 2 contacts into 1 record? #

  • @asmartbear Dunno, I never shop at iTunes (as a rule). Didn’t even think to look there… #
  • Retweeting @andrew_dunn: #Blagojevich impeached 40-0. #

  • @nancyscola I think it’s against that rule called “good taste.” #
  • Just got lectured by postman for not checking my mailbox often enough. Then I delivered another misdirected-by-him letter to my neighbor. #
  • 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 #
  • @ayse I actually thought the blog entry itself was just OK – not particularly revelatory. But I had never seen Sad Bush! #

  • I just read in my organization’s semiannual newsletter that I am based in Winston-Salem, NC. News to me. #
  • @ayse I know! It’s as if I lived smack dab in the center of Chapel Hill or something. #
  • @susanmernit Why not subscribe to Google from Outlook (via IMAP & ICAL) and then sync B’berry & Outloook? #
  • @kanter, I just want to say that you are full of win and good karma. That’s all. πŸ™‚ #

  • Retweeting @monicarolevans: @carrborocowork is getting a shoutout on NPR! woohoo! @Brianr #
  • @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. #

  • @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. #

  • UNC loses 77-71 and my TV is freaking out so missed the last 3 minutes. πŸ™ What a rough game. #women #basketball #
