@TurtleNorthwest don't think so: "person operating a moving motor vehicle" http://bit.ly/aLhkV5 altho u might get stopped & have 2 prove it. in reply to TurtleNorthwest #
just trying to *imagine* standing on my head makes me a little dizzy. #
oh, @shelleypowers & @RobertAHunter, if only a good LOL helped! y'all crack me up. (drinking water seemed to do the trick.) #
@bhenick skimming, I think habit #3 "recognize familiar circumstances, prepare for them and act w/fortitude" instant Ding! of recognition. in reply to bhenick #
hiccups. #
@bhenick probably; I've been flipping through my emails to Simon. it's possible I didn't actually write the reaction down. in reply to bhenick #
@bhenick indeed. (now it's making me crazy that I can't find my ACTUAL notes on that chapter.) in reply to bhenick #
@bhenick IIRC, I had one of those "OMG GET OUT OF MY MIIIIIND" moments reading the draft. in reply to bhenick #
@bhenick "quirky" is a good thing! same as "unique" maybe? definitely a moment of strong voice. in reply to bhenick #
@bhenick @simonstl ah, the delightfully quirky Ch 5. (just grabbed copy from shelf behind my head, had forgotten how much I liked that bit.) in reply to bhenick #
I mean, honestly, I'm not a big fan of driving in general. (altho I kinda like road trips, if I'm not in a hurry & the weather's nice.) #

@shelleypowers I've been trying to decide whether to go out on a limb & build my "pet project" with Drupal 7. no decision yet. in reply to shelleypowers #
thinking perhaps instead of being snippy, I should have made a copy of http://bit.ly/nTAuj – I guess there's still time…. #
@shelleypowers been building my own (aggregator) in drupal & been waiting on a bug fix in the feeds module. 🙂 in reply to shelleypowers #
@shelleypowers twitter tools plugin (my blog is still wordpress!) – I haven't checked my aggregator in weeks and weeks. in reply to shelleypowers #
@shelleypowers agreed, absolutely! I just have a rant about public IT in this state that's way longer than 140char & not entirely coherent. in reply to shelleypowers #
@shelleypowers love the stimulus idea…altho in this neck of the woods it'd just be a closed-source MS-giveaway boondoggle. alas. in reply to shelleypowers #
@ScrivenerApp I'm SUPER excited about the eBook feature in Scrivener 2. in reply to ScrivenerApp #
@rolandovich looks like Alabama is the lone holdout now. I wonder what that's about. in reply to rolandovich #

@Oakwright because those people are crazy? (also: because you are AWESOME.) in reply to Oakwright #
RT @pat_ramsey: Ha! "You've probably never heard of $bandname they're really obscure." #javascripthipsterism #
RT @theolympian: Section of Henderson Blvd closed, gas line hit: http://bit.ly/cCMJ1A #
bah. switching back to listening to groove salad, catching up on projects. #
long version of meta tags? closing / on meta but not on link? onclick? REALLY?! onclick? ::sigh:: #
coincidentally (to last tweet to @cssquirrel) am watching web apps w/HTML5 creativelive class. not impressed by the html on display here. #
@cssquirrel the people I work with (@Oakwright excepted) wouldn't know what HTML5 was if it bit them, so thankfully no. 🙂 in reply to cssquirrel #
@Oakwright when I was a kid, I was on the opposite end of that: no parent working during large chunk of childhood. didn't sell many cookies. in reply to Oakwright #
@bhenick yay book fairy! (my review of said book: http://bit.ly/c0o0pN – overall, thumbs up.) in reply to bhenick #
. @Oakwright I like the simplicity of that costume. @RobertAHunter you mean Pris? unlikely, but intriguing. in reply to Oakwright #
@cookygrl a walk sometimes helps, or a glass of cold water. (assuming that caffeinated beverage not esp desired.) in reply to cookygrl #
going to Oly SciFiFest on the 23rd (as @olylibfriends rep!) – it's a costume thing. what should I wear? #
@webchick is it wrong that I laughed at the 1st issue in its queue: "duplicate?" in reply to webchick #
I have lots of moles, freckles & birthmarks. None of them are cancerous. Dermatologist tutted over my sandal-tan, tho. #
@Oakwright wearing flannel since before it was hip? really? I didn't think u were that old. 😉 #
ok, I'm off to the dermatologist to make sure all my moles and whatnot are what they're supposed to be, and not harbingers of doom. #
@Oakwright the end of IE6 gives me the same giddiness that I got from the end of NS4. We're definitely walking up the slope of not-sucking. in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright am sending u pdf with 4 yrs of stats. kinda cool. in reply to Oakwright #
@dylanw yay! I'll take this opportunity, then, to thank u again for all yr help, esp with the big redesign at work (2 yrs ago?!?!!!eleven) in reply to dylanw #
but….in just September, Chrome now beats IE6. #happydance #
site stats, Q3 2010: more Safari than IE6; more Firefox than IE7. Still more IE6 than Chrome, tho. #
@rshevlin hmmmmm. definitely have a morose/crabby streak. wonder if there's a memory->humor issue. in reply to rshevlin #
@rshevlin I will admit that I know (well enough to tell!) exactly one joke. not that I don't appreciate jokes, just bad memory for 'em. in reply to rshevlin #
@dylanw thanks! (what about, anyhow?) in reply to dylanw #
wishing I could have seen @dylanw's #heweb10 presentation. (also, now have NIN stuck in my head from #heweb10 tweets. srsly.) #
@hjames friend used to say everyone has a "brain-cleaning" song, wipes out earworms w/out getting stuck. (his was brady bunch theme iirc) in reply to hjames #
