  • @CarolLiang I’ve been on an insane quinoa kick lately. Been making a big pot of it 2x/week #
  • @KPB they sell fat tire around here?I’ve not seen it. #
  • @CarolLiang super easy to make. i just eat it, but you can use it in place of rice #
  • @CarolLiang 2 cups water or broth to 1 cup quinoa. water to boil, add quinoa boil for 15-20 min remove from heat #
  • @CarolLiang let cool a bit, add stuff (i do peppers, corn), lime juice or vinegar, a splash of olive oil #
  • @CarolLiang stuff to add can be almost anything. oh and salt and pepper to taste #
  • @ayn well are those static films or adhesive? #
  • @DCTenor1 you’re really going to BTO a mac? why not just get the base and upgrade yourself, way cheaper and easy to do? #
  • make your baby, the easy way http://www.vw.com/vwhype/babymaker/en/us/ #
  • make your baby the easy, less fun, way: http://www.vw.com/vwhype/babymaker/en/us/ via @hapak #
  • oh me and gisele do NOT have an attractive kid… #
  • american classic workwear (of sorts) is popular and fashionable again: http://is.gd/4CFm which is not news to sufu, etc #
  • @DCTenor1 cool, i hadn’t looked at the upgrade price, just made the assumption based on the norm RAM upgrade crazy #
  • monty’s got a teeth cleaning appt with the vet tomorrow. and unrelated, i’m starving #
  • @DCTenor1 i think that’s a reflection on ddr3 prices not apple. 4gb ddr2 is 60-80 vs 225 for apple for white macbook. #
  • @gruber “we do it all up front and in public. that’s the way freedom is and we wouldn’t change it in a minute” great line for then for now #
  • poor monty’s going to be thirsty, nothing to drink after midnight until after his teeth are cleaned #
  • @jsnell when i got it up and running i’m a big fan of boxee on atv, and it ran stuff off my mac via unPnP great #
  • i think the 3 disc wall-e edition (digicopy) is an attempt by ama to get ppl to cancel the crazy 3 for 2 deal mistake #
  • @danbenjamin on g4? scifi? i want to rewatch in HD as i didn’t have HD until s2 i think, or latter half of s1. #
  • http://twitpic.com/hu2u – One bright spot #
  • whenever i see other mac desktops all their drives are nicknamed personal things. mine are things like “media” “backup” i feel uncool #
  • damnit, 2nd day in a row, fell off the wagon… )= argh #

  • http://mezzoblue.com/archives/2008/10/15/shutter/ given how many pics i take with iphone, i might spend $5 on this via @gruber (df) #
  • @gruber, perhaps due to the traffic/sales from your post on camerabag, price dropped from $5 to $3. #
  • well day 1 of less sleep has kicked off. and i did get less sleep, though not as planned and i’m none too happy about it #
  • damn, fell off the wagon. time to get back on #
  • via @jkottke http://labs.ideeinc.com/multicolr/ click colors and get interestingness photos from flickr. awesome juice #
  • my friend, who’s a nurse, has me paranoid that i might either have a torn labrum in my hip or no cartilage (arthritis). damn. #
  • http://twitpic.com/hmp0 – That time of day #
  • how did “text me the address” and it’s variations not pick up across the nation if gossip girl is so popular? or has it and i’m just old? #
  • 90% of the time i chew my gum like an a-hole (e.g. two a-holes XYZ sketch on snl) #

  • i wonder if i would take post processing pics more seriously if i had an mbp (larger screen) and maybe a kbd/mouse #
  • (oh and also a working knowledge of photoshop!) #
  • i’m a little annoyed to be seeing “zack & miri” ads and not “zach & miri make a porno” ads #
  • i just rewatched and amy poehler’s sarah palin raps jumps ahead of lazy sunday and the natalie portman raps #
  • @iamshimone love TDM, too bad apple seemingly moving away from FW support. #
  • @myzuk yeah its all very annoying #
  • hmm, been “finishing backup” for awhile now. TM argh! #
  • yesterday gmail reset my avatar and my custom status messages. whatevs #
  • i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, i’m not a serious news junkie, but olbermann using the “good night and good luck” line is no good #
  • full after a black bean salad #
  • gossip girl gots to be one of the most ridiculous shows ever. seriously #
  • going to start trying to survive on about an hour less sleep. not sure how it’ll go #
  • http://twitpic.com/hhd3 – Add a dash of red #
  • ugh, my hip is clicking and stiff like i’m some 60 year old. have to put in at least a few miles tonight though. damn… #

  • today has been a fairly shitty day. not a bad day, but as wasted sunday kind of #
  • youtube kills my macbook, fans a blowin’ maybe it’s a sign to get a new mbp #
  • personally i dont care about colin powell’s endorsement. way to jump on the wagon when it’s so far ahead dude #
  • emotional eating! only when i’m angry or annoyed. #
  • @ayn fuck it, WAY too late in the game for me to care. his endorsement now carries no weight #
  • @ayn the only good thing he said was the bit about muslims and how religion shouldn’t be a disqualier #
  • just burned my emotional eating food, so now i’m just settling for a banana #
  • @ayn haha, the whole “fam” upgraded to pro machines. nice #
  • huge diff between BR rips and DVD rips even after masses of conversion and cross-conversion. #
  • @LindsayG i’d miss you! #
  • from apple.com on mbp’s kbd “And the keys are curved to perfectly fit fingers.” is this true? i thought the chiclet keys were flat like MB’s #
  • warming up to a new mbp rather than new mb #
  • @fimoculous I had a pumpkin spice latte last night. I drink 1 per year #
  • have decided today to set up my macbooks with software to auto capture isight images (or movies) to see what monty does all day #
  • http://twitpic.com/hbvj – Nice orange to end the day #
  • http://domai.nr/ now we can all be like @peterrojas, or try to be kind of. #
  • i’m starting to convince myself to buy a macbook pro now, after steadfastly deciding to not upgrade until 10.6 dropped. #

  • @iamshimone atonement was different than i thought it was based on the trailer/ads for it. #
  • @ryanblock come on, at least worth a purchase. godfather! #
  • for all the talk about how this country’s progressed on the verge of having a black pres, this race has sure let the hate come to thesurface #
  • @myzuk forget non-christian, you could build up enough jewish or muslim votes eventually. ever see an atheist/agnostic pres? never #
  • @myzuk dunno, but kind of like gay, it’s easier to get votes local for gay/atheist/agnostic, but i don’t think it’ll EVER happen nationally #
  • arabic, chinese (mandarin), french, german, italian, japanese, portugeuese (bra), spanish (latin am, spain). which do i want to learn first? #
  • damn cowboys, damn #
  • @ayn wear that crazy heavy flannel you just got #
  • rewatching casino royale. excited for QOS #

  • totally blew off mccain on dave and biden on leno. what could i possibly learn? though @gruber seems to think dave/mccain going well #
  • @javabeans have to not have it around. Tough I know bc ramen is like Asian mac and cheese ultimate comfort food #

  • @peterrojas & @ryanblock wow, dropped gdgt early today #

  • http://is.gd/4gQC – cruel 2 b kind dc, a kill ’em with kindness assassination game this sat. might be worth pics/vid via @dcist #
  • my iphone randomly resets the watched indicator on my videos. things that were watched now marked as new. weird. #

  • linkage to said commerical: http://tinyurl.com/4cjys5 #

  • )= my IEM remote (at least shures) don’t control itunes on my macbook like it would on the new ones #
  • apple remote buds don’t control it either. )= not a reason to upgrade, but still #
  • @ayn on the new macbooks/pros? yeah apparently remote works and mic works too. at least per @jsnell #
  • i thought mccain did okay tonight, minus his lack of facial control and that he was breathing so hard into his mic during obama’s time #
  • he didn’t answer questions really, but nothing new there. i think he think’s he really took it to obama though. #
  • i also can’t believe he kept saying “pro-abortion” #
  • @ayn you couldn’t help yourself. setup from scratch #
  • retweeting @technotheory http://www.joetheplumber.com haha #
  • sleep…….. (getting jealous of @ayn’s new mbp) #
  • Two days of jumping rope and a day later my shoulders are still thrashed #
  • days like today i want to start blogging again. #
  • i wish i had known yesterday: http://www.ten15am.com/ #
  • i could really get into hype machine, but on the other hand it is a little overwhelming #
  • recidivist! started gnawing on 1 hangnail and 1 fingernail, have popped 2 sticks of gum to avoid. #

  • the more i look at the new MB/MBP the less i want one. #
  • but there’s no denying they are impressive in a lot of ways and in line with apple design dna, just not what i want exactly #
  • as much as black/alum is the apple design dna, the new lappers look like a colorware job more than the integrated look of the imacs #
  • Tired hope my two cuppas will carry me today. And despite fun Twittering I’m going for a run and TiVoing the debate tonight #
  • Oh but running will suck today 2 days of jump rope workouts (which wifey killed me in) have thrashed my arches and calves #
  • woot “the professional” now on hulu #
  • chewing gum constantly, while not the best habit, has replaced the biting/chewing on fingernails/hangnails. #
  • http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/products/wholedeal/index.php $5 off $25 purchase at wholefoods, via @slashfood #
  • kind of dreading going running tonight #

  • @LindsayG (= plink plink!! #
  • new MB is hot, and what i wanted when i got my BMB, but nothing that makes me want to upgrade (at least not til 10.6) #
  • @LindsayG lucky ducky! #
  • @ryanblock question becomes whether you want to lug around 1lbs and 1.7″ more. #
