I keep seeing web producer gigs that report to the marketing director. I think at this point this should be the other way around.
If Verizon can offer 24-hour wireless broadband for a $9.99 "daypass", Adobe could offer something similar with an online Flash CS4, right?
@baratunde White "Supremacists" serve as visual aid for non-hateful/non-ignorant people to not be complacent. Exposed hatred > Hidden hatred

To the very very helpful folks at Verizon Wireless - Thank you for getting my broadband daypass set up in record time for my #dctrip09
Packed Arthur Ashe's "Days of Grace" to take on #dctrip09 to #inaug09. He's watching Clinton's Inaugural while writing his letter to Camera.

The great people in your life are truly remakrable ... They just know how to be or say exactly what you need when you need them the most.
If you ever voted for George W Bush I hope you understand why I headbut you if I find out.
I am debating ... Should I twitter what I am really thinking right now ... Discuss
If anyone needs any CMS, blog migration, feature writing, MT/WP work, online video or twitter magic tricks, visit capellman.com
I am wondering why #mbta even bothers printing bus schedules. Save some cash and just be honest that there is no schedule already. Ahhhh
My new plan for the #inaug09 balls. 1) Wear a suit 2) Pick a random bar 3) Watch the crazy. Suggestions welcome and will post on inaug09.com
You know, these feature-rich game trackers on many sports sites would do well to actually tell you when the game has gone final. Grrrr
I'm looking @ JW player skins at flashskins.co.uk and I'm liking what I'm seeing. Especially now that I got playlists working from Amazon S3
People are harping on Bush's farewell tour, talking of his "twisted reality" but if you were never *actually* elected, what else can you do?
I hope that guy at the train station was wearing a surgical mask cause it's freezing outside
My w/e project launched! bgtime.org - Bridging Generations through Tech, Information, Media & Engagement - (A Knight News Challenge grant)

@socialmedian Thanks for the super-comfy T-shirt!
@pandora_radio so can I play only music with explicit lyrics? You know, to maintain my street cred ...
There is no better #emailsubject line I can think of right now than "Munchkins in the kitchen (EOM)"
So @GloPan you're OBVIOUSLY not talking about my wife on the "all obey" front. #fem2pt0 #fem2
As a Terp fan, I would like to thank UNC for hardly playing Steelers standout RB Willie Parker, and to Phillip Rivers for never beating us.
OK can we ban "out yardaged" as a phrase by football announcers? That would never make it into a well-written article on a game.
@cdorobek I built dctrip09.com and inaug09.com for non-iphone mobile users. Still growing it. Cheers.
Can't believe I got 1 of the 5,000 tix for the parade route of #inaug09 ... this is gonna be a great #dctrip09 !!
If my dream of a muting option for individual sports announcers ever happens, I want to call it "The Siragusanator"
If you're not watching this Ravens-Titans game, please refrain from referring to yourself as a true football fan.
RT @BrianReich I want to buy & run the Seattle PI. I have a plan for doing it too. Anyone w/ big money who can help bankroll this? Seriously
My MBTA red line train is delayed b/c of "traffic" ... it's 12:45 a.m. I'm not saying you even have to tell the truth, just lie better guys.
I feel like I've been stabbed in the back. Not figuratively, I mean it literally hurts kinda like I've been stabbed in the back.
I just sent my first email with a red ! in months. Hope that magic character helps.
Looks like RSS feeds are password protected now on @twitter causing problems EVERYWHERE. Good times. Wonder if my FB status will update.

@slandry1234 looks like you peaked. No more room on that chart to grow!
I watched House for the first time in a while last night, and I'm about to join FB's Don't Let Newspapers Die "cause". This might get ugly.
I am enjoying the irony of @twuffer making its last tweet on Dec. 20, despite the fact that it's a tweet scheduling service.
@Marc_Meyer I think I am going to make the intro to Joy and Pain my phone alarm clock sound. Nice way to ease into the morning.
I can't believe how effin' AWESOME this Pandora station is, and the ONLY thing I entered was Maze featuring Frankie Beverly
@kenyatta Where were you when you had this moment of clarity?
Maybe Obama will use a 3-headed monster of Sanjay Gupta, Billy Mays and Shamwow/SlapChop Vince to sell universal health care.
I am not saying the person who ate the last double chocolate milano and left a tauntingly disappointing empty bag is evil, or am I?
It appears yahoo pipes caps rss feeds you make at 1440 items. I do not recommending learning this the way I just went about it. Oy.
@checkmark I do not plan to at this time. I did just find out I'll be at the WeMedia.com event in Miami in Feb. though. Check it out.
Is there a gambling site built yet for twitter outages? I'm guessing the start of the #macworld keynote would be a good bet.
Aussie friend asked of my holiday break 'how was your festive period?' I like that, tho it sounds like the rest of the year, you know, sucks
OK Fiesta Bowl, I forgive you. What a finish! I think I will make the Big 12 appointment viewing next season.
Seriously? A close game? Damn you Fiesta Bowl ...
I think Colt McCoy let out a Michael Jackson squeal en route to the end zone for Texas in the Fiesta Bowl.
Note to Fiesta Bowl announcer Matt Vasgersian of Fox: "Yardaged" and "Time of possessioned" are not verbs. Nor is it English.
Downloading Qarbon's Viewlet Builder 4 for Mac to make a tutorial for posting to Wordpress 2.7 ... Should be an adventure!
@monstro If you win, your attire should be a discussion topic on GetSatisfaction, no?
@saschasegan Your blink tags, B tags and non-closed P tags made me laugh out loud.
I enjoyed making @macslocum laugh out loud at my notion of current mobile web browsers being the sequel to the CueCat.
Spread the word and send me feedback: inaug09.com and dctrip09.com for mobile twitter updates on those two inauguration tags.
If I was a dog that noise in the Harvard Sq T Station would have made my head explode. Guess I would have needed to be a seeing eye dog tho.
My self-appointed Wordpress camp over break included the unique CMS challenges of a church web site. I re-launched aspenhillcc.org
Can't believe I slipped 7 times and fell twice on my (normally) 15-min. walk to the T. Careful out there folks. It's DANGEROUS in the Hub.

Dolphins Stadium is playing "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey after a rough playoff loss. Methinks they might want to go ahead & stop.
Yes We Can! I launched 2 *mobile* sites for the inauguration - inaug09.com (to track/search #inaug09 tweets) & dctrip09.com (for #dctrip09).
I can't believe winter weather won't be a factor in any of the four NFL wildcard playoff games today.
You can't beat HD Planet Earth @ night w/ the lights off for quality TV. Every environmental criminal should be forced to watch this series.
I'm laughing that @tempo and @monstro are next to each other in my "Following" thumbnails. You guys are like the Bret and Jemaine of Web 2.0
Oh the irony. I google "htaccess redirect directory to home page" and the first link that comes up gives me a 404 error.
@billcarroll No argument here, but college presidents should be made to feel this is a short-term gain that will hurt donations long-term.
@billcarroll I was lookin' for a cause to get behind, and starting a campaign for colleges to ban predatory credit assistance is perfect!
Strange FB moment. A husband/wife listed next to each other on a friend's list. Their pics were slightly different versions of both of them.
@eesullivan I'm just glad we didn't buy in his hometown. ;-)
@SarahM what could possibly go wrong?
