I'm thinking about watching Sarah Palin's GOP convention speech, for the lone reason of remembering how much worse '08 could have been.
@StaciaKane I might be able to help you out. Ping me if you got questions.
@cnnireport Did you really write the phrase "Document your festivities" ... is Murray (from the Conchords) running this show?
Here's hoping the jackasses who did their best to make a crappy 2008 even worse take '09 off ... er, I mean, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Just reminded how far we still are from everyone truly contributing to the web. While easier than ever, there is still much work to be done.
Is the verb for what airborne is doing when I mix it with the water Effervescenting? Sounds like a word I'd hear on Flight of the Conchords.
Just bought best buy's last copy of the non blu-ray mad men season 1 on dvd in boston ftw!
Curfews and tackles, that what Da'Rel Scott breaks! Go #terps !!!
I think former WMUC announcer @tvto lived in 1/3 of the Roadies truck stops. Go #terps
I'm kinda stunned Nevada thought they could get past the #terps D line with a draw play on 3rd and 11. I'll take it, but still.
My new litmus test for determining how good your bowl is. If FinallyFast.com is one of the advertisers, you're not quite in the big time.
So is looking up "only person to play and coach in the Holiday Bowl" an actual job? That pays cash? I'm scratching my head at ESPN right now
Here's where I'm not your average #terps fan. I am now optimistic. Searching Twitter, it seems like I'm in the minority. I think we're fine.
If you want a fun CMS challenge, convert a church newsletter in a Word doc into a functional, easy-to-update WordPress site. Seriously.
I'm hoping the Terps aren't doing that thing they do where they sometimes think they don't have to do anything anymore and then ... don't.
I'm looking forward to great real-time concert tweets from @danaeve in the coming days, weeks, months and years. Happy to help!
Trying to ditch this flu bug with OJ Bret and Jemaine
An NFL season with an 0-16 team needs an 8-8 team (Chargers) to win the Super Bowl. Then the Lions would only need to dream of .500 in '09.
Simple reminder because I read this wrong in three places in about six minutes: it's means "it is" ... "its" is the possessive.
Let this tweet ensure that I am the first to wish you a happy New Year ... in 2010. How's THAT for advanced planning?
I can't believe I'm cheering for the Jets, Lions, Chargers and the Eagles in the same day. I will take a long shower soon.
Is anyone more psyched about the Lions going 0-16 than Al Davis? I mean, what a way to sweep that many 11-loss seasons under the rug!
If the pats miss the playoffs i will blame dave pierce for not sucking it up and cheering for the jets
Ok the jets are toast ... but they look like they have about half as much pride as the lions
Wow considering how close the game is and what's at stake, the Jets fans are pathetically quiet right now.
Watching pats fans cheer for the jets is somehow stranger than watching an nfl team finish oh and sixteen
If anyone saw their nfl game show lions clips other than @ halftime lemme know ... Methinks the nfl told networks to surpress the Lions game
I love the fight the Lions are showing in this game
Sucks nfl sunday ticket costs bars like an extra five grand to play it with sound ... Gotta watch the lions on mute
So @eesullivan thinks I wanna see the Lions lose when I really just want to see it IF they lose. Make sense? Detroit's got 2 many problems.
Screw Jan. 1 ... If you have a New Year's resolution, start it NOW and then meet the new year with some momentum toward reaching that goal.
Looks like I'll be needing to mosey over to a sports bar on Sunday to see the Lions make some history that I don't know I want them to make.
So i says 'take these broken wings' that was playing in bar at bwi was the worst song to play at an airport & they change it to 'superfreak'
If you know anyone who built the "We're related" Facebook App, let them know that it's caching login credentials in some very amusing ways.
Sweet, a replay of texas - texas tech football from earlier this year on espn classic.
Merry Christmas everyone! I came into today not wanting for anything and received so much more than I ever hoped for.
Christmas highlight courtesy of my nephew. In front of the church tonight, when asked the name of the baby in the manger, he says "Santa"
I'm disappointed in Boston sports fans who are ignoring a record-setting Celtics streak and instead worrying about the Red Sox in December.
I always feel a little wiser and happier after meeting up with the legendary Neil Greenberger.
Omg i just saw an ice cream man go thru glenmont with his music playing
The down side of the Teixeira deal is that Mark and his buddies now have to bail out the newspaper industry. Sneaky hidden clauses...
Awesome time tonight with Pete and Karen at the Royal MIle Pub in Wheaton
@havahula existing? Hahahaha
Nothing like going Christmas shopping for nephews @ the Univ. of Md Book exchange. Fun gifts while simultaneously brainwashing the next gen.
@mdurwin gotcha. Are you following @nickbilton ? He's doing some pretty cool stuff at NYT
@mdurwin what about a mobile-first strategy that then publishes to the web too?
Really wasn't banking on seeing 15 degrees on my D.C. visit. Guess this helps me in my argument that D.C.'s in the North, not the South.
@eesullivan maybe he is a whopper virgin
I'd like to apologize to anyone who believed my joke re my 6-yr-old nephew thinking a Christmas Eve flight would kill Santa's reindeer. doh!
Here we go again. Flight listed as on time, of course it doesn't leave for three hours. Wish me luck!
I think @eesullivan is sexist for banning me from book club just because I am a boy
Boston to DC flight canceled by weather. So bummed. No more meeting up with friends in DC tonight. On to plan B ...
When pancakes for two suddenly become pancakes for one, well, lets just say that that's a lot of pancakes, but I'm up to the challenge.
@MaryTreseler I love her too. I just don't want ANYONE to say that right now.
Note to Robert Reich: Please don't say things like "There's only five weeks left, how bad can things get" like you just did on @maddow
@mhanlon do you know a way customer reviews in the app store are available via RSS?
RT @missingmanuals Now available: David Pogue's iPhone: The Missing Manual as an iPhone App! missingmanuals.com/iphone_app
Soon, my iPhone-owning friends, all of your questions will be answered. And there will be no island that suddenly disappears.
RT @mhanlon I just have one Christmas wish. if there is any goodness left in the world, please don't let Shaughnessy write about the Bruins.
Watching @eesullivan watch whatever that is in German that she's watching might be funnier than whatever she is watching
@JasonCalacanis I don't know if, but Dec. 31 sounds like a GREAT day to try.
@mdurwin if you saw her dance you wouldn't care how bad she sings ;-)
If you're giving an iPhone as a gift, or if you have one yourself, you want to ping me for a scoop. Checking on day/time beans can spill...
Apparently not a good time to quote The Princess Bride ... "Do I need to remind you your JOB is at stake."
Co-worker: You should only be reactive. Me: Shut up.
Typo as communication tool: If you REALLY wanna demonstrate how swamped you are, reply w/ 1-2 sentence email and misspell a word like April.
@Fem2pt0 you should make a background image that has your conference date info in the image.
RT@missingmanuals What are your least favorite useless phrases? ... Mine is "needless to say ..."
In @missingmanuals meeting, we're deciding what level of a crime against humanity bad writing should be considered. I vote for misdemeanor.
Please pay no mind to the pained expression on my face today.
@ev I think 'Message in a bottle' by The Police could be Twitter's theme song '100 million castaways looking for a home...'
I'm going to look at my work email being down as a mini-vacation, instead of a major crisis. At least until 8:30 a.m.
A very good time at dinner tonight with the @missingmanuals crew.
Hi Sargento. Even during a recession, I'm choosing you guys in the grocery store ;-)
@stevebuttry How about mobile strategy?
@pandora_radio thanks for DJing my Web 2.0h s**t! party. People who bitched about the music were empowered to take the wheel.
If you're in or near Boston and you hate the weather today, it's Dawn's fault. But she didn't do it on purpose.
Really, really looking forward to visiting DC this coming weekend. You around? Ping me.
Dental hygenist: Do you want a magazine? Me: Nah, I got my phone.
Random compliment "Your problems always make my problems go away." So, does that mean I should aim for more problems?
I am so grateful the Terps NCAA soccer championship game was on Boston TV and the Skins weren't, even if Ocho Cinco gave Portis the ball.
Dan Dierdorf just said 'there is a lack of backside fill in that gap.' I love football.
Erin: You're supposed to tell me how much you love me. Me: I can't count that high. Erin: I sense sarcasm.
@sarahjbray one problem? That's the goal, isn't it?
Second time I've heard the quote "The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our stars, but in ourselves." in three days. Pondering ...
The MBTA trip planner is taking longer than the trip itself would actually take at this point. Maybe it hates the weather as much as me ;-)
@robpegoraro But is the Post Pub still around?
If Southern anti-union Sens sink auto bailout, could "South will rise again" be replaced by "South will bring down everyone else again?"
Did that Fancast.com TV spot just tell me my favorite show is "My Big Fat Redneck Wedding?" FAIL
From my very astute co-worker Rachel: "The more obvious it should be, the harder it is to find."
@Marc_Meyer Have you played around with MT 4.x or the Options theme with Wordpress? Might be some good options depending on their needs.
Just spent my lunch break picking apart a CMS provider who doesn't provide: unique titles per page, rss feeds, indexes or search tools. Oy.
@nickbilton ping me if you're around later. I'm just down the street from you (Quincy, MA).
I think Hulu.com just became my alternative DVR. I just watched it on Hi-Res full-screen through the big-screen TV. Not bad!
You know you're a bad governor when people who never heard of you or visited your state devote their FB status to your downfall.
@caz I think one morning playing the Showcase Showdown on The Price Is Right might even do it!
@ckaminski yea that 140 character limit foiled me ;-)
I can't make this up ... morman church ad during amc broadcast of the movie the birdcage ... Post prop 8 that is just rich
Why do they say 'out there in the blogosphere' - it's the most accesible medium to most anyone ever so shouldn't they say 'in here' instead?
If the republic windows and doors people want to start a new company, i will do their site for them for free
Sean mccormick, state dept spokesman on cspan2 is quite soothing to hear whilst stuck in bed with gauze stuck in my mouth
Wow with the drugs after surgery, Tbs might actually be 'very funny' ... But who wants to risk it?
All done with the oral surgeon. I am the funniest patient ever! Or the drugs still are working. Or that laughter was just pity.
Not really looking forward to two wisdom teeth being pulled tomorrow. See y'all when the meds wear off!
@BrianReich at least it wasn't your turn for bagel duty for your whole office. MMMM frozen bagles...
You mean there's another HALF of this horrible Redskins game left? The next thing you're gonna tell me is Obama isn't really president yet.
@minassian I hear ya. I want email notification of both @ replies in addition to DMs. Guess it's time to visit getsatisfaction.com/twitter
Second time I'm seeing ESPN have its football analysts try to "make their case" like lawyers in 24 hours. Seriously, this is just bad.
OK, so maybe Oklahoma - Florida would be a fun BCS finale.
I think I want Mizzou to beat Oklahoma, but I could be talked out of it. I think Texas - Florida would be a more fun BCS Title game
Can these refs in the Michigan - Duke game make a cameo appearance in a Maryland - Duke game this season?
@techpickles woah, i could have wrote the same tweet, except instead of fallout3 it was Yahoo! pipes.
Dang, even when all 10 client RSS feeds I threw into this Yahoo Pipe are from Feedburner, I still can't get a sort by date. I will get this.
@jdlasica you should follow @tvto ... great guy, good friend, 2-time Emmy winner & a "Winston Wolf" (Pulp Fiction) of video projects in D.C.
@sarawinge ok, seriously, did we both just write "whilst" back-to-back?
if Hulu and YouTube merged, would it be called Hulube? eeeew.
@freitasm yea but that was before the y2k bug ... and YouTube/Hulu. I'll keep hoping, whilst I look for my red Swingline stapler.
@freitasm I want to file a FOIA request with the feds to see if Samir is currently stuck in Gitmo. Now THAT would be a sequel.
@freitasm thanks for putting "damn it feels good to be a gangster" in my head. Seriously. I'm in a good mood now.
@fling well, it's made by the Germans and you know they make good stuff!
@notasausage do you have a link? I know someone.
@robpegoraro wow Rob, you just gave me a serious WaPo flashback. Like pre-Monica/Bill days...
Without Facebook, I never would have known two friends who don't know each other are Vegas bound. Now they'll be grabbing a drink together!
REALLY regretting downloading the 400MB file before the 50MB zip file. Dagnabbit!
I just had to check the 35-49 radio button. Sniff.
Firefox tab trick - not sure if this is new in version 3, but you can drag around tabs and re-order them. FTW!
No more might be: That recruiter email WAS for MY FRIEND'S JOB. That boss is SO busted.
@MaryHodder What's your mercury level? I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours ...
I wish my Following list on Twitter.com had shuffle. Some of you constant thumbnails are really starting to freak me out.
I wonder if Chrysler CEO Bob Nardelli and CNN's Dana Bash could have a blink-off. Can we make this happen?
Getting the planning together for my first-ever Web 2.0S**t! party. At our house, limited guest list, but I predict this will be HUGE in '09
The undo discard link in gmail is effin' brilliant! Carry on.
Few things are stranger than getting a recruiter email for what just might be your friend's job.
@adamcohen And the T boat from Logan to downtown / hull / quincy has a bar on it. You're all set my friend.
Just got head x ray at dentist. They laughed when i asked them to email it to me so i could make it my facebook profile pic.
Good news: Gmail Inbox = empty / Bad news: "followup" label = 111 yet I still feel accomplished.
Thanks @pandora_radio ... Forever Live and Die by OMD ... I am truly in awe of your service!
Thanks cell phone alarm clock for that nice jolt/reminder that I just went from being up late to being up early.
I just got an email for a survey. "This survey is best viewed in Internet Explorer 5.0 or above." But, but what about Netscape 4?!?!!
@tvto you should start following @loiclemeur and @jdlasica they're both doing good work in the video space
It's obvious Jim Martin should have grown a killer 'stache like I just did. He might have only lost by 10 points then.
So then the inevitable happens, @eesullivan wants to know what she can do with the pics she took of me and the 'stache. What to do.
Greatest trick ever. Me and porn 'stache just walk in the room & she laughs. Usually I have to leave and then people laugh behind my back.
@laurelatoreilly you might want the beard back after you see the 'stache
Now @eesullivan can't even have a conversation with me w/o laughing hysterically and looking away. The 'stache is THAT POWERFUL.
Who knew a surprise porn 'stache would scare the crap outta my wife. The best part was she was into her third sentence when she screamed.
Wolf Blitzer just said "send us your videoTAPED questions to iReport.com/situation room." Ahhh tape.
I wonder what's in worse shape, the Knicks or the economy? The Knicks got (possibly) LeBron in 2010, but will the economy recover by then?
by alerting you to this. And apparently they split long posts, so I am just gonna keep typing for a second. Have a happy (part 2 of 3)
I am tweeting from inside peoplebrowsr.com ... I apologize in advance for how much of a time suck you might now blame me for (part 1 of 3)
I think "don't know what you've got till it's gone" was written about keys. Thankfully, I just found mine. Damn you cargo pants!
@baratunde that's like, the worst pickup line ever.
@stevebuttry what would happen if a small newspaper scrapped its web site, paid kickapps to make an all-mobile site, and then built it back?
New Pandora feature (?) Sync IMs with music recommendations. Friend just bitched about job and EW&F's "After the love is gone" came on.
Up and at 'em @tvto style. 4:55 a.m. Oy.
