…forgot to add #goPats (also forgot to mentioned we’d bribed our son and d-in-l into coming over too! Free beer effects that)
Dogs walked and fed; cornbread baked; beer in fridge. Let the game begin!
Mac nerds, what’s a good desktop app for twitter/FB, etc? Seesmic 2 is awful. Hideously unresponsive, damnably poor scrolling; hides stuff.
Huge downside w/ dead PC is being stuck with Seesmic2 on MacBook, abominable comp. to old @Seesmic 1. Silverlight is a sick joke.
My computer decided to protest #SOPA & #PIPA, its BIOS is borked and it won’t boot. MacBook following suit, battery borked and won’t work.
So, before I’m summarily logged out yet again, anyone know a good alternative to @pingfm? And no, @posterous is a poor alternative.
…and I should mention the @pingfm web interface is all but useless. Why not kill it? cc/@askseesmic @lizasperling @seesmicTips
Yet another month down the crapper, and still @pingfm doesn’t work for email or sms. WTF? cc/@seesmicTips @lizasperling @askseesmic
Spouse has no sense of history: wants me to throw out floppies for installing DOS 6.2 and Windows 3.1. What’s up with that?

Zach and I are making our yearly batch of Professor’s Glogg: http://ping.fm/6RjMQ
Ha! I get to be an archangel, two of them actually, Raphael _and_ Uriel.
I wonder, @askseesmic, @seesmicTips, @lizasperling, better to discontinue broken @pingfm than pretend it was going to be fixed one day?
Now a quarter of a year that @pingfm hasn’t worked on email. Anyone know alternative? cc/@askseesmic @seesmicTips @lizasperling
Bob Ryan on Bobby V: “How many other Americans could have pulled this off [flourishing in Japanese baseball]?” Easy, #RedSox’ Tuffy Rhodes!

Note to Music directors: if you want someone to play for you, don’t hand him a 10 page, double-sided xerox, having 6 to 8 measures/side.
It sure is awesome that a week after I changed my FB pwd (to correct for their bad security model), they shut down my account. WTF?
My awesome, defacto daughter-in-law also passed the NJ Bar (previously the NY bar). So sue me. I dare you. Yay Katy!
More than 2 months now that @pingfm hasn’t worked on email. Anyone know alternative? cc/@askseesmic @seesmicTips @lizasperling
Probably shouldn’t be editing my paper after wine ‘o’ clock. Seems I’m getting a tad on the “creative” side…a paper about python/perl/php
Awesome! “I’m listening to Jessica Rylan, what should I drink?” http://ping.fm/vyhVn
Today is Guy Fawkes day. Let’s blow something up! Perhaps on #MoveYourMoney day, we can blow up our corrupt banking system.
#lazyweb: Is @pingfm the only social app that auto-logs one out after 10-20 min? WTF? cc/@askseesmic, @seesmicTips, @lizasperling
One would think, spouse would tire of having meals approximate lab experiments. Kielbasa/cruciferous vegs/carrots in soy/ginger/wine sauce.
Makes sense: the a-hole millionaire players too lazy to keep in shape, so #RedSox conditioning coach is blamed and is shown the door. WTF?
Not sure, but it might have been Stevenson’s “Black Arrow” my dad read to me when I was on near-death bed just b4 college. ‘tis a good yarn.
Almost 2 months now that @pingfm hasn’t worked on email. Kinda sucks; @seesmic 2 bad alternative. cc/@askseesmic @seesmicTips @lizasperling
I think I’ll celebrate with some sour gummy worms … and a dog walk! Yay Katy!
wh00t! My daughter-in-law passed the NY bar exam. No one dares sue me now! She’ll turn them to toast. Did I mention my sons have good taste?
Halloween spookiness: the psalm-o-matic failed to deliver on Halloween. Is now back to its regularly scheduled random psalms.

Can anyone explain why I thought St. John Rivers (in “Jane Eyre”) was so cool back when I was 21?
‘case you hadn’t noticed, today is National Mole Day. Kiss a chemist. Better yet, buy em a beer…or two…or….
Well that stinks. @kindlefeeder missed a whole week of @slactivist posts. Guess I’ll have to catch up the old-fashioned way.
Tonight’s dinner is alleged to be poached (in wine) pork chops and pears, the pears being windfalls from parents-in-law’s “orchard”.
Been a month now that @pingfm hasn’t worked on email. Kinda sucks; @seesmic 2 bad0 alternative. cc/@askseesmic @seesmicTips @lizasperling
Round 1 goes to the mice in basement. One trap licked dry of peanut butter, the other one, stolen.
Dad’s fav, “Warlord of Mars” came out when he was 13. Seems about pitched at 13-yr olds, or perhaps slightly younger boys. Def not 4 adults.
…grrr [damn flat keyboard]…time for the Pats to humble the evil Jets.
So cake done and frosted.
Daughter-in-law says her “condition” calls for gluten-free pumpkin cake. An so she shall have it!
Should have planned feast ahead of time. Thawing, marinating, grocery shopping, buying beer, making apple crisp, at last minute is tiring
We haz big feast scheduled today with kids. Time to hit grocery store, beer store, and pots and pans!
‘twould be nice when @pandora decides it’s played enough that it would say so. As it is, it just crashes and sits there like a dummy. WTF?
Spouse is _very_ excited that I’ve finished “Dracula”. Now I’ll stop talking about vampires and licking blood and stuff. What’s next?
Oh goodie! I’m now being followed by a maker of fancy coffins. Is there something I should know?
O for crap sake, now Sam Bush! @pandora, I love Sam Bush, but he doesn’t belong on the same playlist as Glenn Miller. WTF?
Dear @pandora. I like Tony Rice, but he doesn’t belong on a “Big Band” play list. WTF?
Any chance email will be fixed soon for @pingfm? cc/@askSeesmic, @SeesmicTips, @seesmic, @lizasperling
Side benefit of Sox collapse is we got to watch Fred & Ginger tonight, “Top Hat” Awesome! Next week, sumo DVDs come.

Reason I dislike @pingfm on web is being autologged out. Any chance, @askSeesmic, @SeesmicTips, @seesmic, @whatever, that you can fix email?
