• Lying in bed, squinting at Grand Theft Auto on my phone. This would be a great time to have an iPad. #
• And now the 2010 Prius has a software issue that makes the brakes fail. Toyota really is trying to kill us all. #
• Every time I’m behind a Camry now I think “Well it’s safer than being in front of it.” #
• When the sun is shining in Seattle in February, frowns are turned upside down. #
• Just booked a house in Leavenworth for Oktoberfest. I can almost hear the polka music already! #
• If pavement is forever, why don’t the roads last longer? #
• I don’t care about the free soda. But I really like/need/value/depend on the free advil. #
• Is it another holiday? Did daylight savings end? Where is everybody on the road today? #
• Using Safari? Then you need ClickToFlash. Start breaking the Flash habit now, without going cold turkey. http://ow.ly/12jsN #
• Sweeping my garage after a project day. I love the smell of sawdust, although it’s better when it’s real wood. #
• I “get” the iPad - it’s all the computer you need 95% of the time without all the overhead of a full PC. http://mashable.com/apple-tablet #
• Headed to Home Depot without a specific plan. That usually results in something expensive, and at least two more trips to Home Depot. #
• Playing Saints Row with Clint, wondering what a thug about. #
• Have a lot to do today. All of it is important. None of it is work. #
