How do you know when you’re a fanboy? Auto DM from @amber_benson made me involuntarily sit up straighter.
“Baracklyn Cyclones” is either brilliant or deeply wrong. Not sure which yet. http://tr.im/i2FW
Instant messaging with spouse: good for getting holiday ducks in a row, bad for productivity
Happy anniversary @richrose & @lisaerose!

Apparently “Sunday 5 pm” is “let’s everybody check in with Mike on that thing he has to finish for tomorrow” time.
This is how bad it’s gotten: my anti-procrastination reward for finishing this work is… more work.

There’s not much caffeine in the bottled Sbux Frappucinos, right? Cause I had one at 6:30pm and O MI GOD IZ FULL OF STARZ
Wondering if Sam got a taste of the @dogfishbeer google tasting.
Great, Entourage chowed down on my rules, signatures and mailing list settings files. Now I don’t know what to do or who I am.
