- 11:27 @daveyp just do me a favor and don't ever type your twitter password into the toilet. I don't want to know. #
- 12:05 @bookofsand Certainly better than tinyurl.com/cksqnm by a parsec. #
- 13:04 @bookofsand Use bit.ly instead of tinyurl. It's much better anyway! #
- 13:38 @daveyp the title of the article is still there #
- 13:46 @daveyp wait, at what point does this say OCLC is going to do an ILS? #
- 22:08 Lots of smoky haze around Briarcliff x Virginia #atlanta #

- 22:14 @USFP Got iTunes U? As a Bull (Library&Info Sci MA, '98), I'd love to hear Poly lectures. Searching yr site gets bit.ly/15S8NB. Meh. #
- 22:28 @USFP Also, PLEASE convince alumni.usf.edu/ to give email addresses to members. USF is missing a huge loyalty opportunity! #
- 22:29 @USFP ...by comparison, I'm also a Gator (linguistics, '96) and their alumni ass'n gives free email forwards to ALL alumni, not just members #

- 10:00 @knobody There's got to be a pretty simple way to hack a 2-quart plastic pitcher to make it a French press. Drill and grommet the top... #
- 10:03 @knobody btw, why rutabaga? I've never cooked it before, but pork and potatoes cry out for rosemary so loud I can't not hear it. #
- 10:16 @jonathancoulton Yes, by tweeting you accept a EULA that assigns your copyrights to the RIAA. Sorry, man, I thought you knew... #

Probably I don't do nearly as well most days, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how many poor defenseless plants I'm murdering. (And big ups to the anonymous cows and chickens whose milk and eggs, respectively, were involved.)
