Twitter Updates du Jour

  • Atrios, Markos, Ariana — what’s with all these Greeks running Democratic-leaning blogs? Actin’ like they INVENTED democracy or something. #
  • BBC’s headline: “Beijing’s conundrum: How a weird weather pattern can choke a city”. My thought: “Is Beijing going to have to choke a city?” #

  • Dear Milk Industry, your little cardboard cartons of milk have been difficult to open since grade school. Show a little innovation, people! #
  • Whee, that was fun! Can I go on the earthquake ride again, huh, can I, can I? #
  • The earthquake had good form, nice rolling and shaking, but the timing was spotty and the ending was lackluster. I give it a 5.4 #
  • Every meeting should have a light-up sign that says, “So basically, we’re screwed”. I’d turn it on at least twice an hour. #

  • Don’t think the cameraman from this concert video knew where all that drumming noise was coming from ’cause he sure didn’t shoot the drummer #
  • Why is it a service when the press does things *I* want to do, like see SpaceShipTwo or hear what’s removed from Steve Jobs’ body recently? #
  • @kionee Lazy Town, Björk and Brennevin. We have to give Iceland its due. Although I hear “fermented shark” cancels at least one of those. #
  • I don’t know why people are raving about http://www.cul.com — not only is it a terrible search engine, it’s not even safe for work #

  • Sprained my ankle stepping off a curb. Wait, that needs improvement… I mean, I sprained my ankle fending off a horde of ravenous zombies! #
  • WIshing that Twitterific could hold more history. Also, that it wouldn’t select some other random tweet when it removes your selected one. #
  • This Dutch site won’t let me put more than one kleur of T-shirt into my winkelwagen at once. What a pijn in the billen. #

  • If I’m not following you anymore, it’s not Twitter’s fault. It just wasn’t working out. It’s not you, it’s me. Look, we had some good times. #

  • @sfslim Similarly I’ve always really wanted to like this, but it’s also somewhat unsatisfying: http://tinyurl.com/internetparty #
  • Wow, did I pick up this link from here? I love this guy’s designs: http://tinyurl.com/6ha8o9 #
  • You know that conversation where mommy and daddy tell you they don’t love each other anymore? I feel like I’m in that meeting all the time. #

  • Wow, Twitter today is like a “greatest hits” album: all the best tweets from earlier today *and* today! #
  • Got VMWare Fusion working. Boy, is this a pleasure to use. It isn’t hogging my Mac’s memory and CPU like, uh… that other Windows-under-OSX #
  • @mlsokoloff Is he doing the “Where the hell is Matt?” dance in the middle of that freeway? (RT: http://bit.ly/3xnoEQ) #
  • @krusk If you’re getting someone else’s cell phone bill by accident, call him. That should get his attention. Especially at 3 AM. #

  • Recent keywords I’ve been searching on: rebreather, nasal pillows, Switlik, Oxymizer. I’m sure all this will make sense soon. #
  • @alanataylor Tina Fey said it best, “You can really fuck above your station if you’re funny.” #
  • I was offered a choice: “CAKE OR DEATH?” I chose death! Okay, technically it was (german chocolate) Cake or Death (by chocolate). #

  • Finishing up a volunteer shift at the Saban Free Clinic benefit. Tired. Damn tired. #
  • Heading out for recovery breakfast. Somewhere, somebody is presenting their relative with a walk-on part on “Chuck” they won for charity. #
  • @escapist Maybe because it’s called “Cheebo”. On the other hand, check out executive chef Eric Hulme: http://tinyurl.com/68u54l #
