  1. Critter proven to be a Mississippi Mud Turtle, as Texan as I (and much more so than George Bush), it has been released in the nearest creek.
  2. RT @bruces: The Industry's screwed this Xmas. I feel no twinge of gadget lust for any of this stuff http://is.gd/4SLrb /agreed cept4 the MBP
  3. Daughters found turtle on the way home from school which they are desperately trying to identify as exotic so we won't be able to release it
  4. Wonder whether Bill Cotter ("Fever Chart") catches readers counting his fingers at book signings #mcsweeney's #neworleans http://is.gd/4SL3L
  5. @anorwood Thx! When I saw soldering I bailed. :-) My adapter is a genuine Apple refurb but from a reseller; small hope for Apple replacement
  6. @anorwood I'm guessing that sparking at the magsafe connector end (not brick end) would be hazardous to the computer, no? :-(
  7. Conspiracy theory: both Twitter lists and the new RT="liked" feature enhance Google's ability to apply pagerank to tweets
  8. @marlaerwin How about the "Twittercosm"? "RTalypse"? /RT @FakeAPStylebook If you refer to "cyberspace," we hope you enjoyed your nap Rip Van
  9. MacBook power supply separated where the cable meets the magsafe connector. I lashed it back together with cable ties. Dangerous? Reparable?
  10. Two new favorite podcasts: the Memory Palace http://is.gd/4S70P and the Moth http://is.gd/4S72y
  11. The problem with visual symbols for technology-related disciplines: understandable ones are too retro, up-to-date ones are incomprehensible.
  12. Bill Cotter's "Fever Chart" was rocking along in darkly funny mood until character had psychotic break, vividly told. Now it's terrifying.
  13. False fire alarm cut off power in building overnight, now multiple UPSes are beeping behind locked doors. EdgarAllenPoe should write a pome.
  14. Sweet! Maybe Murdoch can make Fox News invisible to channel surfers while he's at it http://is.gd/4QVAY /via @somebadideas
  15. Enjoying "Fever Chart" by Bill Cotter via McSweeney's http://is.gd/4R735 but how can a down&out New Orleans novel have so few black people?
  16. Thinking about Misty M and @michaelerard who are having contractions and preparing for a water-born homebirth. Come on baby!
  17. @utmediaresearch I've seen a section of Berlin Wall on the Rice campus, carefully selected to have pro-American graffiti ("Ich ♥ Amis" iirc)
  18. @dsandler Maybe "worried" is too strong. Glad to hear Android isn't anarchy. As @bruces said re iPhone, "it's cold outside Mr Jobs' prison."
  19. Rickrolling worm on jailbroken iPhones http://is.gd/4QU8m makes me worry about security model on Android. /via @bruces
  20. Just wrote substantive comments on the concept Rolltop laptop design http://bit.ly/XwSTI , hit YouTube's length limit and discarded them :(
