I am severely disappointed that I can’t buy either of the Bill & Ted movies in blu-ray yet.

Day two at home, gout rendering my ankle not-so-functional. Good times. C’mon drug, start working better please.

Re: My surprise dog picture tweet - man, my head is fat. I gotta fix that. There’s like, no neck. Not my most flattering photo.

I can always tlel when I’m not feeling well, as I let smiple typos slip through.
Consoles I own: NES, SNES, Wii, GB, GBA, DS, PS, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, and friends have my old GameCube and Xbox. I’m kind of ridiculous.
Realization: I think I currently own more NES games than I do for any other console. Still have like 15, including SMB/SMB3/Mega Man.
On the other hand, I’m not as bad as @madmup because he has something like five Dreamcasts. What the heck, man.
Honda Insight ad, on Vimeo - not just an amazing ad, but the page itself changes as you watch the video, check it - http://vimeo.com/4281939
Played Little Big Planet then read a bit of Left Behind series before bed, & had a dream that combined the two. Seriously, kinda disturbing.
I’m a Honda guy these days, but I really loved that 2001 Pontiac Sunfire, that I’d probably still be driving today. Goodbye, Pontiac.
Getting dinner at the Cooperage, where my friend Anthony is performing as part of a jazz ensemble. Good food, better music, so great. :)
Rented a PS3 game, now sitting through ~200MB of patch download and installing. Taking ages and ages.
I tweeted something the other day about more ‘professional’ geeky wear, and suddenly Penny Arcade goes to launch some. Odd timing, that.
This tweet is here just for #sswugvc in hopes to get a mark on the bingo card, by being referenced in the Q&A.
Current Twitter trends include the phrase “Bad Sex Position” - WHY??
All I can think about today is my lovely @lisaarn and our puppies, who I’ve seriously considered making Twitter accounts for. Oh, and Subway
I’ve been watching #sswugvc for 3 days now, and I’m still stunned at the amazing video quality. Great jorb, guys.
I’ve picked up a bunch of followers during #sswugvc - I’ll be resuming boring tweets once it’s over. I hope you like Rock Band and jQuery :D
One of the best things about #sswugvc - all of the presenters and experts have been more than happy to offer out personal contact info. :)
Goodbye Geocities. You were one of my first homes. I lived in the Silicone Valley type space. *pours out a 40-bit key*
#sswugvc Chat rooms reject partition for ‘tit’ but are okay with ass or damn. Amusing.
SQL Server Warcraft Edition: Consumes ALL resources while doing nothing productive, and downtime due to patches is just awful. #sqleditions
SQL Server Bacon Edition: http://bit.ly/wjuDi #sqleditions
and now I’m gonna be quiet on Twitter for awhile because I’m sure I’m driving my txt-based friends nuts.
It may seem like i’m not paying attention to the conference, but I swear I am. This SQL editions thing is totally building up networking. :D
SQL Server Bob Ross edition: Stores its data in happy little B-trees. #sqleditions
SQL Server LOST edition: It’s absolutely impossible to keep proper data relationships if you don’t keep up with every update. #sqleditions
SQL Server Ozar edition: I know there’s good data in there, but each query just keeps coming back with witty snark instead. #sqleditions
Apologies to my friends, since yesterday was full of tweets about a conference I’m at - today will be more of the same, so, y’know, sorry :D
Attending a virtual conference has been a bit odd at first, but it’s been some really good and interesting content. #sswugvc
Watching “Understanding the new culture of SharePoint” at #sswugvc - feeling kind of condescended to. Good info, but we’re not kids watching
I’m just trying to get into the #sswugvc keynote with this tweet.
I don’t get a namedrop during the #sswugvc live Q&A because I have a boring Twitter name, and I’m just a peon here to learn. :(
I don’t have a question for the #sswugvc Q&A, just wanted to express that I’m really enjoying the live Q&A and the Twitter interaction. :)
Phrases I never expected to hear at any professional conference, virtual or otherwise: “Want a snack from my nut sack?” #sswugvc
I was worried that I wouldn’t get much from the SQL 102 presentation, but learning about MERGE is the best thing ever! #sswugvc
STAR TREK SPORK ONLY 1701 TO BE MADE ALL YOU NERDS OUT THERE GO BUY IT http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/bbfa/ (I’m not a big fan)
Called into the @jackietonydonni this morning re: video game addiction, half expected @cmark2626 to tweet about it and tease me.
Installing a PS3 demo now. This is taking forever. Bunch of crap, man. I think it downloaded faster than this. Off to learn Sanskrit.
I think my warranty expired when I turned 30.
The World Wide Web: Making it easier to insult your mom since 1989.
This video is absolutely hypnotic. Shot at 1,000 frames per second. Simply stunning slow-mo, especially the jello. http://bit.ly/12vcMR
If I could wear t-shirts to work, I’d buy more t-shirts. Subtly geeky polos could be okay, though. Where’s the love for the corporate geeks?
There was someone flying an RC airplane outside of my office window earlier. Easily the most tranquil thing I’ve watched in some time.
Thing that sucks about mastering something like web development: You can’t show off with an amazing video like http://tinyurl.com/dazjq7
Why do people abbreviate pizza as ‘za sometimes? Two syllables is not too hard! Plus, saying ‘za’ just sounds dumb.
So, those of you out there with a PS3 - what games do you enjoy? Just curious. >_>
