Before complaining about the failures of a tool, make sure you’re not the tool with failures.

Looks like I’m heading down to Las Cruces in a couple or months! http://j.mp/Ih7z
Thinking about this picture for a new profile one. Mad Men was nice, but I like real pictures. http://flic.kr/p/4Potzc
While I think Win7 will be nice on a couple of machines I have, I’m more excited for Abe’s Oddysee and Exoddus on the PlayStation3 today. :D
Well, I’m rusty but I can still rush to 8-1 without effort. Memory wasn’t so good there though. Don’t know if I’m proud or sad to remember.
Turned the Wii on for the first time since July. System updated. Now, maybe a min of Mario before I go to bed and it re-enters hibernation.
Got my entertainment system set up. Everything hooked up without a switch thanks to a tip from @JMW regarding running cables. Thanks man. :)
Thinking about the new iMacs. That 27” looks amazing… but I don’t even know if it’ll fit on my desk. #firstworldproblems
Was CC’d on a mail. Chimed in with helpful information. Had good dialogue with people. Got nagged by a recipient for replying to a CC. #WTF
So, more cable thoughts: If I move the TiVo from HDMI to component, don’t need a switch - but feel funny moving stuff off of HDMI. :D
Man, I’ve totally been forgetting to tag all these #firstworldproblems today.
Getting tired of swapping my HDMI cable between the 360 and PS3. Anyone have suggestions on an HDMI input switch?

Overheard: “taking my pants off in the office always feels weird”. O_o
“Recursion can be sexy but it can also be dangerous — just like a woman.”
So great! RT @hotdogsladies: @jonathancoulton’s old a capella group (Yale’s Spizzwinks) cover his epic, The Future Soon http://bit.ly/3LF52E
Between Abbey Road for #BeatlesRockBand and the Queen 10-pack for #RockBand, it’s a great day for music DLC.
Did you catch that game today? That one team was pretty good, yeah? And that one guy, whoa! #sports
What an awesome shot: http://flic.kr/p/77KBzY

On Sidekick data recovery, @madmup on how they did it: “same way MS always does: Magic beans and a deal with Satan”
Hey CPAP-wearin’ Tweeters: Have you experienced any changes in hunger levels? Six weeks or so now, and I am *constantly* hungry. :(
Between bumping into her at Best Buy and hearing her talk about Facebook, I think she’s gotten all techy on me.
Ran into my mom at Best Buy (O_o) - she enjoyed watching the @DJHero demo. Fun to play, but what an odd person to run into there.
Is it bad that I’m contemplating spending my lunch hour in a Best Buy playing the @DJHero demo?
Why must I want new games? I do not have time to play Brutal Legend, but I want it! I still haven’t finished Arkham Asylum! #addiction
Someone needs to offer me a job where they pay me to make neat stuff. I have neat things on my plate, just nobody to fund ‘em. Takers? :D
If there’s one #aea presentation I wish I could be attending, it’s @meyerweb’s JS presentation going on now.
#lazyweb Looking for recommends on dress shoes. More concerned with comfort & quality over price. Must be able to handle hours of sitting.

Saturday marked ten years since zombo.com was registered. The Internet has been vastly improved since. You can do anything at zombo.com!
I had some serious doubts about Toy Story 3 until that trailer. Still a tad hesitant, but it looks so much better than I expected.
Reading up on more internet memes reminded me of Mahir, which is also 10 years old apparently. The Star Wars kid video is 7. #whoa
Anyone know of a @DJHero demo in #ABQ ? The website lists several GameStop locations, but none of the three I’ve hit have had it. :(
Lego Rock Band set list revealed in full. Got excited to see “Life is a Highway” until I saw it was that horrid Rascal Flatts cover. >:(
I appreciate all the support I’ve received for my comment of Chicken Butt. I urge you all to keep the tradition going.
A coworker just asked me “Guess what?” and before I could stop myself, I said “Chicken butt”. #seriously
Still though, excited for things like “Kung Fu Fighting” and “Ghostbusters” to be in Rock Band, for cheesy fun.
Shots like this make me want to take a bike to the @balloonfiesta next year. http://flic.kr/p/74tEJG
1/2 of Trending Topics now is football related. I hear that the team kind of close to here is good or something. #notabigfanoffootball
Tweetie 2 has turned me onto @favstar and favstar.fm, and I’m enjoying seeing who’s favorite’d some of my tweets. Fun times. :D
So far, I’m way more impressed with Tweetie 2 than I was with Tweetie. Pretty sweet. Still love Twittelator though. Miss the unread count.
I have to say, I’m becoming quite the fan of phpMyAdmin 3.2. The 3.x line really made some nice upgrades over 2.x.
Also, ExpanDrive is *awesome*. Seriously, being able to mount FTP/SFTP/S3 like a drive is so freakin’ handy.
Makes me wish I could be down at the field this morning. RT @balloonfiesta: http://twitpic.com/ktssm Special shapes Day 2
Coworker, talking to me (after I rambled on about JavaScript for a moment): “I need Rosetta Stone for your language.”
The people at @DJHero have just released a “Play it now” feature on their website, guiding you to demos. Awesome. Gonna try it out soon!
Hey @elliottkember, I implemented a JS Kember Identity check that uses web workers - http://bit.ly/gHhc9 - will see about putting in Git. :D
