November 2008
Turns out, my Mac’s problem is a known issue and will be covered out of warranty. May have to wait until Tuesday to get it fixed, though. :(
Not my day with technology - slow download was router spazzing, and now? My laptop won’t start up. Well, it starts, with no display. Ugh. :(
Trying to watch a movie through Xbox Live Marketplace, but the download is going horribly slow. Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay.
Watching “Stranger Than Fiction”, finally. When did this movie come out? Just past the Space Camp line, made me think of @madmup
The snow is really coming down now, about to do the big family dinner thing. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! http://twitpic.com/ojo1
http://twitpic.com/ofek Heading out to the east mountains for Thanksgiving!
I hate when I want stupid toys that I don’t need, like either a Flip MinoHD or a Kodak Zi6. I have no need, but, I want one because OMG HD!!
The only Christmas song I can stand before Thanksgiving: Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg giving that oh-so-special Christmas gift.
This new widescreen YouTube business is going to take some time to get used to.
Just now got a call back from AT&T. The $917 of data plan charges were reversed. I’m happy, but I was also half asleep - calling me at 10pm?

Wow - daily WTF indeed!
Just spoke with a coworker about his SDT database. Let me tell you, that’s a very easy acronym to misinterpret. “Umm what kind of database?”
I just told a friend that every time he uses an HTML table for layout purposes, God kills a kitten. I feel kind of dirty.
OTP with AT&T: My data plan didn’t get switched to the iPhone right away, and they want $917 for my first week of data. We’re “fixing” that.
Sometimes I feel bad that I blew NaBloPoMo so fast, and then realized that y’know, sometimes life is just too busy to post much of anything.
To all the WoW players: Make sure you log in today, it’s the 4th anniversary of WoW, free baby bear non-combat pet in the mail if you log in
Gryphon is napping with a new toy - http://twitpic.com/ng5l - while I convert some video for the iPod. Dr. Tran on my phone? Awesome.

Yesterday, I thought that this 909 emulator iPhone purchase was a waste. Today, I just made a fun beat. Was worth the $5. May get BeatMaker.
Filled up at a Chevron for $1.99/gal yesterday. Had been waiting for a few days. Today? Price hit $1.89 at that station. I’m simply stunned.
Today was hard at work. Really hard. Listening to covers of songs done on ukeleles to relax.
Looks like I’m actually going to be able to make the ABQ Web Geeks meeting this month. Something always comes up, hopefully not this time :)
Hey, have you heard? http://tbitw.com/ (may contain sound)
Food concept of the day: Turducken, but with cow, pig, and lamb - cowpiglamb sounds funny though.
So, at some point I managed to set my iPhone ringtone to be a loud scary alarm sound. Then Lisa called. Coworkers freaked then laughed hard.
I… I just used an HTML table for layout purposes. I feel so dirty - but I didn’t have much choice! *sobs* I am sorry, gods of the internet

my Twitterank is 46.83! http://twitterank.com/?u=brianarn
I HAVE MY COLLECTOR’S EDITION WOO WOO WEATH WOO WOO!!!
I’m at a midnight release for Wrath of the Lich King. I am a huge dork.
Surfing the net at 47” - http://twitpic.com/lh9z
Heading home after what amounted to a 13 hour work day. Midnight Wrath launch? Maybe.
Sometimes, I have deep-ish thoughts I consider sharing, but then I back out, for fear of offending/upsetting people. Twitter isn’t for deep.

WoW update: Lich King attacks Stormwind and Orgrimmar. Kinds neat. Curious to see how far Blizzard takes it. Now, to bed. G’night all.
QOTD: “Our management aren’t exactly the sharpest holes in the wall, if you know what you mean.”
I put Bejewed 2 on Lisa’s iPhone. She’s now downloaded it for her laptop. I think I may have created a gaming fiend. It’s cute.
I think I’m finally done with work for the night. Tired, but some good work done. Now, time to play with the iPhone some more.
Finally watched Transformers. @JMW I can get you your DVD back now. Only what, just over a year later?
At the airport, picking up Lisa
Cleaning house, put on UHF as good background sound. With commentary, as that really adds to the experience.
After my last tweet, I went to a friend’s house and played more Rock Band. I am immensely tired now.
Just played something like 18 songs on drums in RB2, including a set of 9 on expert. My arms and hands are sore and tired now. Good times :D
Retweeting @gruber: This was a tough race, with two great candidates, but I think the electorate chose wisely: http://xrl.us/owhhk
Went to borrow a nickel from a coworker to get a drink. Wound up being handed a can of Full Throttle instead. Never had one of these before.
I turn 0x1E in under three months. Saying it that way doesn’t make me feel so old.
