Twitterisms
November 16th, 2007 -- by Augie De Blieck Jr.
It’s been a while since I last posted a batch of these. I’m at Twitter.com/augiedb if you’re looking for me. I post a few times daily, often in bursts at the beginning or end of the day. I won’t overwhelm your feed, I don’t think.
- You know a political story is high-falutin’ when journalists start using the word “opprobrium.”
- General Hospital is getting REALLY good again. Surprisingly solid suspense tale they’ve got going now. The entire cast, locked in a mansion.
- The Writer’s Strike will disrupt General Hospital. That’s the first downside to it I’ve seen so far.
- Is Rolling Stone Magazine EVER going to stop celebrating their 40th anniversary?!?
- Pondering a new podcast that would be a sure thing winner, if I could only find the time to devote the proper energies to it and - ARGH!!!!!
- I am SO over social networking.
- More people talk about not wanting to blog about eating breakfast than actually DO blog about breakfast. I’m convinced.
- The great part about printer w/five ink cartridges? They never die at the same time. When you make a trip to get a new one, another dies.
- I can’t be the only one to constantly confuse the names Chip Kidd and Chris Ware, can I?
- I also find myself having to say both “conscience” and “conscious” out loud to figure out which one I mean.
- Don’t get me started on “desert” versus “dessert.” Google: Define Dessert
- I miss the days when Reddit.com actually contained tech stories and wasn’t 100% political garbage.
- I miss the days when TWiT was worth getting excited about.
- I miss FLOSS when it was Weekly.
- I’m sick of social networks, cell phones, and net neutrality.
- Friggin fraggin CSS. I have two definitions for “SMALL.” And it’s only using one. Time to reprogram some HTML.
- I buy a 100 pack of bags, a 100 pack of boards. I slide all the boards into bags. And yet, there’s always extras of one or the other. WHY?
- Took a great hike today. 360 pictures. Babysitting tonight. Remembered the laptop, forgot the wire to connect the camera. ARGH!
- Learned all sorts of tricks with the old Sony workhorse camera today. That Aperture Priority mode can be cool.

Don’t get me started on the bag and board thing. I’ve been off by as many as 10 one way or the other (95 of one 105 of the other). I’m just happy if they fit together well.

Ha! I clicked on the comment button just so I could agree with the bag/board complaint.

Oh yes, the bag board thing. I always seem to get more bags than boards. I am sure I’ll eventually get to the point where I’ll only need to buy a pack of boards because I’ll have enough bags left over.
And Nick, I totally agree with you on the fit. I once bought 100 bags and 1000 boards and found the boards just slightly too big for the bags. I had to go and trim them all so they would fit right. Talk about a pain!
Oh, and Augie, you’d be proud of me. I finally made a switch to Firefox. I have been playing around with it for a while and finally one day a couple of weeks ago I decided to make the jump!
