You know there's something wrong when the calculator on my iPhone loads up faster than the one on my Dashboard.

Yay, drama. I knew it would show up sooner or later. Oh well, easy enough to deal with.

Heading down to schiller again to help the kids write some stories

woot-off is on at woot.com, but I need to get to bed. If anyone sees a nice HD video camera pop up, give me a call.

I have too many ideas and too little time/drive to get them done.

I'm not a monster, Tom. Well, technically I am. I guess I ammmmmmmm.

KOTOR MMO will have to be exception to my "one MMO only" rule. The only company in my mind that does RPGs better than Blizzard is Bioware.

The Mac mini might finally be dead. Which is too bad -- I love mine.

Fable 2 comes out today, which basically means it's time to make some hard decisions about game purchases. Fable 2 or Fallout 3? Dead Space?

maintenance dude was pretty cool about me disabling my fire alarm. it went off all the time -- what else could I do?

Another day of Headless Horseman runs, still nothing worth getting. I thought they added some new loot to this thing. And where's my mount?

If Moore's Law continues (and experts say it will), by 2019, we'll have computers just atoms wide. And supposedly it will keep going, too.

Sexy mustard is a great costume. And frog. http://tinyurl.com/5jolpn

Want to know what I think of Diablo 3? http://is.gd/4nYz spoiler: it's not done. at all.

Probably going to be on the TUAW talkcast tonight. Going to try something different too, I think.

By the way, I am officially endorsing Barack Obama for the next President of the United States. So if you were waiting, there you go.

Just watched "I'm Not There." Lame and boring. Even the most creative of biopics just bores me. Who cares about real people?

Think I've hit a roadblock in this whole iPhone dev thing. Just can't grok the whole ad hoc distribution and code signing thing.

Had a tasty burger earlier, watching some UFC now

so the wow insider show went OK, skype dropped a few times (need to figure out why), and I was a little rushed, but should be fine.

Ok, the new WoW Insider Show stream is going live in about 15 or so on wowinsider.com

loneliness is probably when the apartment above you leaks water down into the bathroom, and the resulting smell reminds you of an old friend

... I just hit a button while we were explaining shade of aran, and caused a wipe. Sigh.

Kind of sad to see Karazhan set to easy mode. But I did get some T4 from it.

Kudos to @coverville for doing the show a way he feels is right, not conforming to a made-up schedule

I think my Powerbook's screen is dying. Maybe it heard I was thinking about buying a new MBP.

I need a new book to read, twitter. Pref. fiction, something geeky and funny, like Snow Crash or HHGTTG.

omw to go tame a core hound. Not the SMV kind, the o.g. Molten Core kind. That's how I roll.

Playing around with Ustream. Very impressed, I may even make a personal podcast with it. Not sure who would listen though.

This is why this man is so perfect for President. He doesn't talk in sound bites, he actually talks. http://is.gd/49EQ

I'm going to be playing so much WoW this weekend, I can already tell. Achievements have got me firmly in their grasp.

Man achievements are fun. I'll do anything as long as you give me points for it, useless as they may be.

dinging achievements (I'm Jenkins!) and listening to @miketrose on Your Mac Life

old dude I've befriended in my building just informed me that he's voting for mccain, and that obama is trying to screw up the constitution.

trying to watch @miketrose on Your Mac Life

Was supposed to go to a meeting tonight, but it's raining and I'm tired and I haven't had a free night since two weeks ago. I'm staying in.

Man, that capo really makes some new sounds come out of the guitar. Lots of fun.

Me on CNET talking about how the new MacBook Pros are great for gamers: http://is.gd/482x

Jon Stewart had it right on TDS last night: When you sow fear and anger in people, you can't be surprised when they get scared and angry.

bought a capo. Guy tried to sell me a $40 capo that apparently never broke, but I didn't bite. Also, looked at electric guitars, seem fun.

Spent the morning helping kids write mysteries. They were rowdy but we still got things done.

cenarius still isn't working right. Guess I'll start achieving tomorrow

ok now i'm ready for my realm to come up. Though I'm worried I'll log in and it'll be so different I won't want to bother fixing it.

"I have read about him, and he's not, he's a, um, he's an Arab." "No ma'am. No ma'am. He's a decent family man and citizen..."

frustrated

Obama is reportedly leading by 14%. Unfortunately, that's still less than the 20% bump that McCain bought from Diebold this year.

"Act like you've been here before" is pretty much great advice for any situation.

what scares me most about @chockenberry 's tweets is that... I usually understand them.

Palmer's exactly right: the Cinema updates surprised everybody and nobody. http://is.gd/43Qy

Pretty good chance I'll be buying one of the new notebooks Apple announces today. Not until later this year, but I'm about due for a new one
