I have really become a fan of Twitter Gadget in my email. Along with my other gadgets in GMail it makes it more of a power user utility too!
I got Dad’s IMAP set up for his GMail. Now I await him coming to town to buy a new cell phone. Trying to talk him into getting the Tour!
I’m updating to Firefox 3.5 too. I have been so busy using Chrome, I had forgotten all about it!
Wise words: It is more important to turn the alarm clock as it is to set the time for the alarm to go off. Silent alarms are FAIL alarms.

Actually I’m hoping someone will live tweet the fireworks this weekend. “Oh, that’s a pretty green one”, or “Wow, that one was really loud!”
I would like to be able to customize the links at the upper left hand of my Google Services. I never use Sites, but I use Voice. Cmon, Goog!
My cubicle is one big #squarespace
Why sentence someone to 150 years? Their corpse does not stay in prison. They should be punished to death by hanging out in jail until dead.
Is it weird to want an email notification telling me I got an SMS in Google Voice? Its kinda like getting a postcard telling me I have mail.
Worse than hacing a song in your head? A voice. Norm McDonald narrated my dreams last night. No clue why, just weird!
Watching Iron Maiden performing in South America. Holy sh*t the crowds. You cannot beat that experience on earth. Up the irons!
Time for clean up. That time being an undetermined point in the future. I just talked myself out of clean up!

Looking forward to grilling and hoping the weather holds up. I have grilling toys and burgers/veggies to flame cook!
I knew that was going to happen! Goal Brazil :(
Watching 2001 Space Odyssey. Because life couldn’t get any more surreal at this point.
Sad to hear about Billy Mays. He was 50. He did a great job of combining modern branding w/ traditional pitch sales but became a brand too.
Thoughts and solidarity with the Iranian protestors as they brave out again today. They continue to be a source of humble inspiration.

I have a cat on my lap and I’m drinking tea. I am an old british lady.
Getting ready to go outside and listen to the IRL noise. I used to listen to them when I lived in Indy. Very loud!
Lawn is mowed and I did about 2 hours of leaf blowing. Yeah, I still have leaves from last year. If I stacked it all it would be 15 ft tall!
