Why do people love Tweetr? This app kinda sucks. Doesn’t even obey its font size prefs. #

when in doubt, just assume I’m retweeting from @brentw #
@LAsnark run before your coworkers start to discuss chafing. Also, good luck parking on/near fairfax, you’ll need it #
God, I love it when I get a free track from an artist I like, but it’s in WMA format so it just decides not to be playable on El Mac. #

@KevinGoldsmith I’m trying to imagine what "more DRM" means. Rental model, maybe, so they can comply with the new WGA contract? #

I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if hundreds of geeks gathered in Pittsburgh and were suddenly throwing spare change #
waiting at LAX for redeye to Pittsburgh. Can’t help notice the younger crowd on flights with cheap seats. #
@KevinGoldsmith NBC’s resolve is starting to crack. They have some VP of digital entertainment mumbling about going back on iTunes. #
Well poeted this afternoon, Master @goob. Your talent always astounds. #

@vero Images aren’t loading, e.g. http://tinyurl.com/56u5zx #
@vero No go with full refresh. OSX/Safari 3.1. Getting some images e.g. http://tinyurl.com/4y4afu Similar in Firefox 2.0.0.13 Strange. #
@hodgman goodness, the masses are picky about their free entertainments #
@torgo it’s like the "helpful" US website redirection we talked about — please don’t ship me to your ghettoized version of your site. #
I wish most sites didn’t know whether I was in a foreign country or on a mobile device. Amazon’s crippled mobile site is the worst offender. #
@vero still missing some images here: http://tinyurl.com/6cpotx #

@KevinGoldsmith is stirring up trouble on twitter #
@torgo welcome to the tripitty goodness. the UI is not the selling point, the parsing of fwded itineraries is. they need SMS support badly. #
@torgo if you manage to get it to parse your round-the-world itinerary, do share #
goddammit, the comedycentral.com website redirects me to thecomedynetwork.ca since I’m in Canada. I’M NOT CANADIAN! I’M NOT CANADIAN! #
@torgo Yeah, TripIt uses exclusively 8-year-old children to transcribe users’ flight itineraries. They say they have the lowest error rate. #
