I’m not a biker (due to a balance issue I’ve struggled with most of my life), and believe me, I’d LOVE to see people using something other than a gas-guzzling SUV, but for cycling to gain respect,…
Remember, friends, that a vote for McCain is a... →
McCain referred to the “Iraq/Pakistan border” in a “Good Morning America” interview; since there is no such border he must have meant Afghanistan and Pakistan. He has twice referred to…
Tired of WeatherBug’s crashes & limitations, and default app’s consistent inaccuracy. This is so much better: http://moourl.com/fizzweather
is quite terrible at Crash Bandicoot Nitro Cart 3D. Keep coming in 5th after starting out 1st. Ack. Oh wait… I’m at work…
Note to self: next time coworker suggests vegetarian for lunch, punch them in the face and run.
Seriously, since when did NO PARKING change meaning to PARKING ONLY FOR LAZY ASSHOLES?
Why do Trash Collection Specialists have to be such complete twats?
I’ve discovered something worse than crack: Brach’s Mott’s All Natural Fruit Snacks. MADE WITH REAL APPLESAUCE!! SWEET JESUS!!
I think I’ve figured out why real estate is going to shit: they have ungodly horrible, confusing websites. I mean, seriously, no permalinks?
Nothing quite so secretly humiliating as a pants malfunction due to your increasing fatness. I just pulverised that button. Ugh.
I am in fabric hell with girlfriend. Send reinforcements.

Note to self: when iTunes decides to do a backup of your iPhone, don’t stop it. It comes in handy when you’re restoring firmware.
I’m entirely walmart-phobic.
The iPhone 3G is sold out, city-wide, in Seattle. Wow.
Not terribly impressed with Columns on iPhone. The game is fine (love Columns) but it doesn’t take touch input very well.
wondering if @dkr got his mobileme sign-up working. I got logged in, but was informed that “new sign ups had to wait”… at least it worked.
just had his breakfast eaten by one of the dogs from his work’s “Dog Friday”; is requisitely pissed.
Just signed up for 60day trial of mobileme. Took all info and cc. No confirmation email nor can I log in. Great.

was listening to the radio at home, waiting for Bean, and realised I was listening to @dkr’s brother. :D
Seriously, Apple, why do you require a physical CD and shipping to sign up for mobileme? What a waste of time and resources…

OH: did you hit me in the ribs with a croquet mallet?
Finally saw Wall-E. It was fantastic. I highly recommend it, even if you don’t like “animated kids movies.”
