  • RT @lol_spam: Spam subject: “Your decent watch will upgrade your status.” You mean I won’t need my phone to update Facebook? AWESOME! #
  • WTF? Google C&Ds Android modder Cyanogen. Isn’t it supposed to be licensed open-source in the first place? # The cease-and-desist order is about Google’s apps (Maps, Gmail, etc.) that are pre-installed, not about the operating system itself, but still, it feels like a violation of the spirit if not the letter of the license.
  • Would you believe I found a postcard for Irvine? It’s a bunch of office buildings with mountains in the background. #
  • Odd: it took 3 hours for my shoulder to get sore after the flu shot. Still, NOTHING compared to last year’s tetanus shot. Now THAT hurt! #
  • This XKCD comic reminds me of the “uranium-free pizza” joke from some scouting event way back when. #

  • The East/West terminology always bugged me too: http://xkcd.com/503/ But then, living in California, I figure we’re also Pacific Rim. #
  • What makes people think it’s OK to post insults/threats just because your old blog post isn’t what they wanted to find on Google? #
  • You know, it would be nice if ABC would SAY things like “In 3 weeks” when they’re going to preempt Pushing Daisies 2 weeks in a row. #
  • I like having (nearly) full movement in my arm again. #
  • End of an era: Our last box of real Sudafed has expired. #

Arg. Shoulder seriously sore from tetanus booster shot. Typing hurts. Driving home’ll be REAL fun. Still, better than getting tetanus. #
