Advice from @heidihoover: don’t mix these up in your purse. http://twitpic.com/8wnnh
Unibody 13” MB Open Box at Best Buy Mechanicsburg: $1049.
Damn! When did 1.5 TB external drives start selling for $150?!? And when did WD ship a 2 TB drive? Holy excess capacity, Batman.

Making a router run: Dad’s WGR614 long ago lost the ability to hand out DHCP addresses on the wireless side, and it’s time to replace.
It is pouring rain in Harrisburg. Hope they don’t close Indian Echo Caverns.
Need to take a tweetpoll on whether a particular expression is offensive or innocuous. Can’t quite bring myself to do it, though.
OK, the expression in question: “red-headed stepchild.” Problem or no?
8yo, listening to The Sunday’s cover of Wild Horses: “It sounds like they’re singing ‘Why Coleslaw?’” @heidihoover nearly swerved offroad.
RT @DiscoveryChPR: How about some GREAT NEWS?! MythBusters’ Kari is the proud mom of a baby girl! Congrats, Kari! #babywatch

TUAW First Look: Cellar puts your wine collection... →
Filed under: iPhone
Beverage choice should be simple: coffee or tea to rev up, wine or beer to spin down (App Store links). Of course, when it comes to drink choices, there’s…

Feeling crappy: nauseated, achy, sore. Great way to start vacation phase II.
Impressed by BlueAnt headset & AT&T coverage down I-95 — held the @tuaw talkcast call for the full hour.
Awesome job by @mikeschramm and crew on the talkcast. Sorry for the road noise.
4yo yesterday, when her float capsized in the surf: “Daddy! I fell overjoyed.”
Not quite sure why the girls have no outerwear on this trip. I didn’t pack for them, though. :)
Effectively reinforcing stereotypes about rugby players since 2009. http://twitpic.com/8pjsk
RT @mikeschramm: I’m hosting the TUAW talkcast tonight. Please tune in and say hi! http://is.gd/1hmT3
Packing up to head back home. Have to wake up #2 for the ferry ride.
Billy Mays? Cripes. All the Deadliest Catch crews are alive, but the Discovery Channel loses the guy who sells Oxi-Clean. Sad.

Definitely not a beach day today. Need to call @writingroads after breakfast to make some plans.

Both grand and scary to see so many of my former students grown up — and PARENTS! — at Children’s Theatre reunion.
Just found out that Zachary Quinto is an alum of both my college and my summer theater program. Spock FTW.
Well that was worth it. http://bit.ly/GqI6O http://twitpic.com/8kqe0
RT @leeunkrich: Top sign I need a vacation: during my dream last night, was actively noting changes & tweaks I wanted to make to improve it.
Fog means the ferry can’t run at speed, which means we feel every wave. 4yo and I are green around the gills. #seasicktweet
Oh, major TomTom fail. Just-purchased map update does not have RI-4 highway opened Oct ‘08. Might have made the damn boat last night. Rrgh.
On the boat — in a fog bank with heavy chop. Slow and bouncy. #tripfromhell
Bad: we will have to compete with Quonset Air Show traffic in the AM. Good: Met the Blue Angels’ crew chief at McDonald’s. GO NAVY
Apparently leaving 5.5 hours for a 3 hour trip was not enough. Hence an overnight in West Warwick, RI. Cranky.
Reminder to weekend moviegoers: The Hurt Locker. You will not be disappointed.
Yep. Missed it. Now need to fi food and lodging in the middle of RI.
We are gonna miss this boat.
I am so outta here.
NyQuil + pale ale = I have about 15 minutes before my head hits this keyboard.
Oh Lord, so wrong and yet so very funny. RT @pilky: My brother just showed me this: http://bit.ly/12Gtp8

Elect me as your governor, and I promise that all my infidelities will be 100% domestic: keeping those jobs here in the US. #whenIamgovernor
Needed iPhone 3.0 feature: “blackout times” for push notifications. @phillryu IM woke me up at 1:30 am.

Ugh. They are reading Gov. Sanford’s emails on the news. Feel dirty.
Cleaning dishes, eating dinner & watching presidential health care forum. Still surprised we elected the smart one.
Wow, apparently the act of writing about Steve Jobs imbues one with some aspects of his personality. http://tr.im/pFfZ
Apparently my office is one of those precious and rare AT&T “5 bars, no calls” zones. 2 other iPhone users adjacent to me have same problem.
Random panicky late-night emails from colleagues: do not want.
