ev How does a story that says “was not able to get sources to confirm” have a headline starting with, “Confirmed:”? http://t.co/l1JAGq6
bynkii hey, if you know this guy: http://thisguyhasmymacbo… he’s a thief.
Sounds like it’s official that Winnipeg is getting an NHL franchise back! Congrats, Manitoba! Here’s hoping they take back the JETS name.
@MikeTRose Your family’s story is fascinating and inspiring; congratulations to both of you!
@hotdogsladies I don’t know if this happens for everyone, but I can’t scroll using my mouse’s scroll wheel on KFG. Just that site.
hotdogsladies Okay, who the FUCK moved my Buddhism book?
So. Angry.
@JimmySlims I think you’ll need to do more than just kiss some ass…
@AllanEdwin No kidding! The majority of it is just plain awful!
@rands What term do you prefer?
@ChicagoCodeTwit just wanted to let you know I’m not Jason Clarke the actor.
@JimmySlims What a present that would be!
@jasonclarke @danfrakes @lexfri @glennf @beschizza (Says the guy wearing Crocs at work…)
@danfrakes @lexfri @glennf @beschizza FWIW I recommend no anti-fatigue mat; your feet will get stronger pretty quickly, so why use a crutch?
Crocs & Socks <- that’s the name of my new band.
I _wish_.
I don’t care what they say about us anyway /
I don’t care ‘bout that

Did you get all fired up about Urban Outfitters stealing a design from an Etsy user? You should probably read this: http://t.co/D7bBcb8
@schoffer I haven’t really looked into the new ones much - we bought a refubished 27” quad iMac last year, loving it.
@schoffer No, it was me, but your theory was sound. @geoffgauthier’s desk is about 15 feet from mine.
@geoffgauthier Radiating lightning bolts. Equally distasteful.
@shawnblanc Please, please do a AppleScript / Keyboard Maestro section on your site!
@schoffer Yeah, exaxctly - I’m _that_ kind of optimist.
For me the words optimistically and stupidly are synonyms. For example, today I optimistically didn’t bring a jacket to work.
What if everything ran on gas? http://t.co/A62SQyG
@geoffgauthier How is Manny being cleared for full-contact practice *not* awesome? He will play again this year, even if only for a shift.
I hate when web services like Google and Twitter announce new features, then roll them out slower than molasses. Tell me *after* I have it.
@justinw @danielpunkass Devs and mechanics are too forgiving of technical limitations, while users/drivers just want to see what it can do.
@justinw @danielpunkass I’m more interested in what, say, a race car driver has to say about how a car performs than the mechanic’s thoughts
@danielpunkass @justinw I’d agree that the *best* devs are usually good reviewers. But they’re the minority by a big margin.
@danielpunkass @justinw Many (but not all) devs are poor writers, and far too accepting of awkward design, especially Windows devs.
@geehoneybee I went i5, because the i7 was a LOT more expensive.
@geehoneybee Go for refurbished from Apple.ca then. Some good deals there (I know, I’m a broken record).
@geehoneybee That sucks dude. Any deals on Apple hardware at Best Buy?
@geehoneybee Did you punch the screen or whip the cable at it or something?
@geehoneybee Holy shit, did that just happen? What’d you do?!
dmoren Just looked up The Jetsons for a gag and discovered that there were only two seasons: one that aired in ’62-’63 and one that aired in *1985*
I think @sparrowapp is beautiful, but it feels noticeably slower than Gmail’s web app using keyboard shortcuts. Native needs to feel faster.
@asianefficiency I don’t know how long comment subscriptions have been broken for, but I’m going to have to turn it off for now.
@asianefficiency Thanks for the comment, and the heads-up re: the subscription link. I’ll look into it.

Overheard in the lunchroom this morning: “Was there some sort of hockey game last night?”
If your email to me starts with “Dear valued professional,” it will be automatically marked as spam and deleted immediately.
Twitter’s rolling out an email notification that lets you know if someone you follow retweets or favorites one of your Tweets. About time.
NtQtSouthSurrey LOL!! RT @paulhillsdon: Mind. Blown. [IMG] http://bit.ly/ikCLa9
@geehoneybee Guess you did. Had a few tonight.
Yikes. @gtdguy just implied @OmniFocus may not “get” GTD. Sometimes the things we build outgrow us. That just happened with GTD & D. Allen.
@geehoneybee Follow him on Twitter: @CanucksHD
Yikes. @gtdguy just implied @OmniFocus may not “get” GTD. Sometimes the things we build outgrow us. I think that just … http://tm.to/nBdG
Wouldn’t want to be San Jose coming to Vancouver for game 5.
@GlenTrainor Go Canucks! Time for some “Rupture” for the Sharks!
@JimmySlims My guess is it’ll be Ballard and Tanev.
The fact that @OmniFocus isn’t @gtdguy’s favorite GTD app makes me wonder if he really *gets* GTD… ;-)
@rotatedtoenails Don’t be ignorant. Read Brett’s site: he’s completely up front about the fact that nvALT is a fork of the original NV.
@SlvrLambStudios Yikes, that’s good to know (but not good news!). Thanks!
@geehoneybee Poor guys. How’s Curtis today?
One of my kids just puked for no apparent reason. Now he’s sleeping fitfully on top of me. Poor little green dude.
@danfrakes If you know of a MarkDown syntax highlighting app for iOS, please tell me!

I can’t believe how cheap of a player Thornton is. Eager too. And Clowe.

Google’s changing their motto. Now it’s, “Don’t be Twitter.”
Twitter: How do we make life suck for 3rd party clients?
Loren: Well, OAuth blows: http://t.co/BPi5U7u
via @gruber: http://t.co/MHv8RMl
It’s hard to watch @twitter abuse 3rd party app makers. @lorenb must feel like shit right now, and if he doesn’t, he should.
@JimmySlims @geehoneybee I’ll see what the mrs. thinks though.
@JimmySlims @geehoneybee I can go out to watch a game, but my boys would feel pretty bummed if I drove with them to your place, then left.
I think @Reeder for Mac needs to either emulate Google Reader’s navigation shortcut keys, or NetNewsWire. The current in-between isn’t good.
@chartier Or did you just un-encrypt the backup first?
@chartier Does that mean you’re up the creek, so to speak? No restore for you?
How do you mark someone as spam in Twitter for Mac? I can see how to block, but mark as spam … ?
@chartier What happens when you uncheck the Encrypt backup check box? That’s what I ultimately did.
@lexfri @chartier iTunes will tell you the encryption password is wrong if you try to type it while your iPhone is syncing or backing up.
@chartier I dealt with that recently. Make sure you’re not syncing or backing up when you’re typing password, or it will reject it.
@geehoneybee I think I’m clear for Friday night, but I bet Friday nights are hard for @jimmyslims to get off…
@geehoneybee @jimmyslims That might be doable. Let me check and I’ll let you know.
@geehoneybee @jimmyslims I’m a no-go for tomorrow; it’s our anniversary and we’re going out for dinner.

@chartier I find the wisdom of my Twitter stream more useful than Facebook; on Twitter I choose who I follow. On Facebook they choose me.
@chartier That phrase made me chuckle: “the wisdom of your Facebook network”.
@sportsnetmurph I guess I should have said “is eligible to get name on cup” if they were to win it.
@sportsnetmurph A buddy has a good theory: Manny dresses for one game, plays one or two shifts. Gets name on cup.
@ttscoff Don’t judge it based on one day; it’s going to be uncomfortable for a couple weeks, until you get stronger. Then, it’s great!
@rands There is no VP of Sales at Apple, as long as you don’t include Steve Jobs. CEO should always be your best salesman.

I can’t believe how much spam I’m getting to my Google Apps @gmail inbox. 3 to 4 a day, every day for the past 3 weeks.
@geehoneybee @JimmySlims We should set that up.

Twitter 2.1 - now with a little less of the stylishness that made 2.0 awesome.
Twitter 2.1’s worst new feature: no longer remembers position when shutting down and restarting it.
@GlenTrainor You couldn’t have told me that before I left home and got stuck in that brutal traffic?!
My wife is awesome. #fb
@geehoneybee That doesn’t sound like a Twitter issue, it sounds like a feature! A glorious, glorious feature!
That’s not flying, it’s falling with style! http://t.co/e8deblt

On the plus side, I’m married to my best friend, and she’s hot! Guess we’ll have to stay in.
The shittiest thing about being married to your best friend is that it’s hard to get out and do fun things together in the evenings.
I’m gonna kick it root down.
