@LangleyBeerDude @geehoneybee LMAO - “garnish” sounds like “side dish”, right? Yeah, that’s it… :-)
I gotta admit, i like rest stops…
Just got my scratched glasses lenses replaced under warranty!
@JimmySlims That looks delicious!
@geehoneybee @LangleyBeerDude I like beer but I see it as a garnish, not so much a main course. Rest stop, not destination.
@geehoneybee @LangleyBeerDude Got nothing against craft beer, just not interested in always trying something different. I like what I like.
@LangleyBeerDude @geehoneybee I only filter out the automated untapped tweets.
My excuse for what?
Ihnatko Facebook is the place where I find out that someone I kind of knew in high school is sort of a racist.
@Glen_Trainor @mistergoats That’s pretty awesome. A surprisingly accurate impression!
@Glen_Trainor @mistergoats I can’t wait to try to make you laugh, then… :-)

And a strong urge to fly
But I’ve got nowhere to fly to

On the telephone to you
There’ll be nobody home

And I’ve got second sight
Got amazing powers of observation

@kcase Whew! That’s great news, thanks!
@kcase In other words, is it no longer possible for OF to publish a reminder calendar to a WebDav address?
@kcase The current iCal functionality allows for reminders on iOS devices even when not having sync’d OF. Does this mean that’s gone?

@lexfri Point being, what’s to “celebrate” from the users’ perspective?
@lexfri Failure as an ongoing business, or as a product. Yes, the founders made out well, but it still leaves a bad taste in user’s mouths.
daveshumka Next time you call in sick, tell your boss you’re “down with the sickness.” Then yell “OOH-AH-AH-AH-AH,” ending in a crescendo of barf.
energy_project The physiological feeling of anger moves through you in under a minute. After that, it’s your choice whether to stay upset.
So @squarespace support is fantastic, as long as your site doesn’t have an actual problem. Then the issue gets escalated, and you wait days.
Updated @tweetbot for Mac, still doesn’t have decent keyboard navigation. PageUp/PageDown keys don’t do anything? Odd.
@Glen_Trainor Wow, that could be a @westjet promo shot!
@mistergoats I didn’t want to ask, but who, who…

@drdrang Ditto.
@chartier Sweet! Might have to get me a Sidekick. I hear those are pretty great.
@danielpunkass That’s what they tell themselves as they’re counting their millions and trying to justify it to themselves.
@drdrang As someone with a caffeine sensitivity, that sounds horrifying.
@chartier You’re going Windows 8 / Windows phone, aren’t you?
@jen_robbins Correct. Same for the Kindle app.

@fpgeek Hand-tying?
@fpgeek What do you mean?
@fpgeek I agree - but companies see things in a very myopic way. I’m saying that current Google seems as nearsighted as MS was a decade ago.
@fpgeek And their track-record with acquisitions isn’t very strong, either… ;-)
@fpgeek That’s a good point. I guess it remains to be seen. My trust in Google’s motives isn’t terribly high.
Gmail : Android :: MS Office : Windows
Gmail is Google’s ace-in-the-hole, their way to make Android more desirable than iOS. Now, Sparrow.
@fpgeek Gmail : Android :: MS Office : Windows
Gmail is Google’s ace-in-the-hole, their way to make Android more desirable than iOS.
@fpgeek Google will be happy to have a sub-standard mobile web-wrapped version for iOS, and make the Android version kick-ass.
@iPhoneinCanada Yeah, but they’re not going to have a better experience available on iOS than is available on Android.
hotdogsladies Speculation:
Google doesn’t acquire apps; they acquire people who make apps.
Then, they situate them in a large building labeled “Google+”
@ryan Not to kill it, to port it to Android.
@iPhoneinCanada Isn’t it more likely that Sparrow turns into Gmail for Android? Google has no incentive to strengthen their iOS offerings.
@viticci Neither. Sparrow’s dead, and Android’s Gmail gets some new features.
I think it’s far more likely that Google wants Sparrow’s features for an Android Gmail app than for an iOS one.
@viticci The Sparrow announcement says no new features; isn’t it reasonable to assume Sparrow for iOS is now dead?
@chartier Reading between the lines, Sparrow for iOS is dead.
@mistergoats After reading it, I bet you wish it was.
@mistergoats Oh, you mean like this article at the Harvard Business Review? http://t.co/NJqEP0gD
Crap. Well, @forstall & the rest of Apple better get off their asses and make a better Mail client, since @Sparrow’s no longer an option.

@mistergoats @Glen_Trainor Maybe even MORE than “slightly”…

Awesome how @rbc can’t be bothered to call and let us know our card has been compromised and they’ve shut it down. Embarrassing for my wife.

@mistergoats This tweet makes me wonder what tweets actually trigger your filter to the point that you decide not to post them?
@geehoneybee @JimmySlims Invitation sent. Time isn’t firm, hopefully I can get home a bit earlier than 5:30.
@JimmySlims Went to the driving range yesterday, with the family. Was a hoot, but not playing certainly hasn’t helped my shot.
@JimmySlims @geehoneybee It’s in my calendar for the 23rd - looking forward to it.
Dropped off our PVR and cable box at @shawhelp this weekend, and canceled cable TV. Feels great!

@danfrakes Oh, and my condolences re: the iPad.
Ouch.
@danfrakes But everything _seems_ in order. Odd, but hey, I’ll take it. Thanks for the tip!
@danfrakes So far worked remarkably well. I’m concerned that the drive I imported from had ~100GB of data on it, and only 60GB imported.
@geehoneybee Wow, it was that bad, eh? Yikes. Sorry we missed it though. Ended up spending the day with grandparents.
@danfrakes Is there a way to get a Superduper! cloned drive from a 5 year old MBP to boot on a new MBA, or a useful workaround?
I never need to translate a tweet. I’d rather if @tweetbot would underline two capitalized words in a row and link it to an image search.
