Am I alone in thinking made up news stories / blog posts don’t count as April Fools Day pranks and are just incredibly annoying? Thought not
Suffering from a severe bout of sleeplessness brought on by my alarm clock.
@AllanEdwin Well what have you done?
Skype for iPhone not available in Canadian store. What gives?
@marshallk I love Twitter, but wouldn’t pay to keep my current account. If Twitter went to a paid model, Facebook has a great Twitter clone.
@leemathews Careful, last time I mocked Twitter spam I lost 6 followers. Though I 100% agree!
@leemathews Awesome, I’ll check that one out. Thanks!
Wow, those spammy wefollow “just added” messages aren’t at all annoying… </sarcasm>
@leemathews What’s your favourite free antivirus package right now?
Having a blast blogging for www.downloadsquad.com. Why don’t I do this more often?
@leemathews definitely dozing.
Literally rocking my baby while a thunderstorm rolls by outside. Now she’s asleep on my chest and I’m getting slee
Is there a company in existence with worse support than Google? Nope. They’re awful; it’s extraordinary how awful their support is.

Holy crap was that a nice passing play on the Canucks’ last goal. Wow.
Ugh. The in-game commerce being demoed at the iPhone event is going to be really irritating for users.
Given how many more iPhone notifications users will get in the background, I say it’s only a matter of time before the UI is revamped.
My iPhone 3.0 prediction is that notifications have been revamped, which is why background notifications took so long to be released.
@swirlee Sorry for hacking up your tweet, but I thought it was the funniest (and most accurate) iPhone 3.0 tweet I’ve seen.
@leemathews No kidding! Gotta admit I’ll be tuning in at 10 as much as my kids will let me.
RT @swirlee Sick of “iPhoneOS3.0may havefeatureXYZ” headlines. It might also have free HBO & an escort hotline. I’ll care when I see screens

Taking next week off to be home with the family during spring break. Lots of projects to do, looking forward to getting some stuff done!
I wonder how @gruber feels that I use the Readability bookmarklet on his site every time I have to read more than a bit. #DFsTextIsTooSmall
@GlenTrainor People that go to SXSW RAVE about it. For the rest of us at best it’s jealousy-inducing, at worst completely irritating.
Got a haircut at lunch - the barber managed to leave more hair trimmings on my head and clothes than he actually cut, it seems. Soooo itchy.
Okay, Safari 4, it’s not me, it’s you. I tried to like you, I really did. This won’t hurt too much as I uninstall you; just close your eyes.
Sometimes I wear my noise-canceling headphones at the office with no music on just to dull the roar of the air conditioning system.
@panache That’s about the saddest (and most painful) thing I can think of, your poor little guy!
@SlvrLambStudios South by Southwest. It’s a huge conference in Austin, TX that some people I blog with are at (and tweeting like crazy from)
Google Docs is massively flaky today. Some invites to documents not going out, when they do the docs don’t show up in people’s lists. GFail.
Temporarily unfollowing people that are tweeting a lot from #sxsw. It’s just too much.
@GlenTrainor In my experience kids freakin’ LOVE Starbucks kid’s hot chocolates!
Celebs that “join” Twitter but don’t update their own statuses are getting very bad advice, or are too lazy to engage their audiences. Stop.
“Head-hunting” in my previous post should be interpreted as “hit-piece”. Sometimes my brain mixes modes, in this case writing and hockey.
Unsubscribe Watchmen, SXSW. Kthxbai
Glad Marshall Kirkpatrick retracted his earlier nauseatingly head-hunting post: http://bit.ly/Q2t7O (via @marshallk)
@twitter I get more spam twitter followers than I do actual spam in my Gmail inbox.
@GlenTrainor I read your “loser buys a Frostie” tweet at 6pm, so let’s just shoot for tomorrow. I didn’t get anywhere near zero anyway.
Been a while since I’ve had my Inbox at zero. Hoping to fix that today.
Geeks on Twitter seem to love Big Bang Theory, but I never hear anything about Chuck. Why is that?
That picture came out better than I expected.
@sharpener Feeling overloaded with “social” tools. Is cliqset worth checking out?
View from my porch. iPhone camera doesn’t know how to handle whitepoint in snow. http://twitpic.com/1yi12
My big accomplishment yesterday? Writing a post about the top instant sound effect sites. http://is.gd/mu7y I’m living the dream, baby.
My two years of French immersion did me wonders, as you can see.
Snow on the ground, dark morning, feels like we’ve rewound the tape 2 1/2 months. Qu’est-ce que fuck? Oh, and good morning.
Canucks win! Now it’s basically an hour later than the clock says… I’d be smart to get some sleep. Umfortunately I’m rarely smart.
Late power play goal for the Canucks! #canucks
And by Tummy I meant Yummy. Okay, so neither word is very tough. Shut up, I have young kids, ok?
The wife picked up a Granville Island Brewery variety pack for me. First up, Lions Winter Ale. Tummy, but sweet for my taste. No complaints!
So I guess staying up really late last night wasn’t the best preparation for the DST time change tonight. Oops!
Kids are amazing. Freezing and windy, and they’re running around playing soccer oblivious to the cold. Oh to be 5 years old again.
@GlenTrainor Haha, no, more for me.
I mentioned it late last night, but might as well mention it again: How to Manage Anger with Music http://tinyurl.com/d6drqd
@MichaelHyatt Not sure when I would have gotten around to reading the physical version; ebooks are with me wherever I go, whenever.
@MichaelHyatt I received a book for Christmas (Predictably Irrational) that I just re-purchased in e-book format so I can read it on iPhone
@KevinCTofel OmniFocus gets a bad rap for being too complicated. If you’re planning on really doing GTD, it’s by far the best Mac option.
Been awhile since I blogged. Posted “Managing anger and frustration with music” tonight: http://tinyurl.com/d6drqd
Turning frustration into action (finally). Why didn’t I do this sooner?
Since my last tweet was a grab at free stuff, might as well do it again: #EvernoteClarifiGiveaway
@MacHeist Yeah, I’ll take a free copy of DEVONthink! http://macheist.com/twee… #MacHeist #free
In my experience meetings are soul-crushing in direct proportion to the number of people in attendance.
@panache With a few notable God-awful exceptions. Personally, I think the Mighty Mouse is in the same class as the round hockey-puck mouse.
@panache If there’s one thing Apple doesn’t seem to be good at, it’s mice, IMHO.
@peterrojas Shift-refresh Gmail - when I did, bolded sender names came back.
Now to decide if Facebook is next.
Canceling my MySpace account is more satisfying than I expected.
@panache To open pages in a new tab instead of window in Safari, there are a couple of good options (and more): Free: Glims, Not free: Saft
@grobertson What is it in Win7 that’s turning your crank? It’s the best version of Windows available… but, well. You know. Windows. Ehh.
@panache Yes, that’s it! Too cool!
@panache I wish I had the link handy, but I remember a few years ago a friend pointing me to a site where you can buy adult-size tricycles
@panache Bah! I wanted a Big Wheel or Green Machine so bad (either one), but to no avail.
Oops - Twitterific reported an error communicating with Twitter, and I thought that last tweet didn’t go through. Instead I said it twice.
I think it’s kind of douchy that TweetSum forces you to to advertise for them via a tweet just to find out what your DBI is. #DBI
My DBI is 34.84 Find yours and manage your followers at http://tweetsum.com #DBI
No snow like the east coast is getting, but it sounds like the wind is going to blow the roof off the house any minute now.
I think it’s kind of douchy that Tweetsum makes you tweet your DBI to find out what it is. #DBI
Feeling 80% normal, ready now for the weekend.
