Some recent Tweets

Just to give you all something else to read aside from American Idol chatter, here’s some recent Twitter postings, with my editorial comments/updates in brackets italicized afterwards:

  • I’ve gotten to the point where I get home from work and have three or four pages of Tweets to read. Might be time to cut back.
  • I just picked up the MacHeist bundle. I feel slightly dirty, but I couldn’t pass up the price for a few of these programs. [I need to do screencasting now, don't I?]
  • But, really, does App Zapper exist for the sake of being given away in Mac bundles?!? [And slower days on MacZot.]
  • This just in — Heath Ledger is still dead.
  • Added to my To Do list (long term): Read ABSOLUTE WATCHMEN before the movie hits screens.
  • I fear “Story of My Life” on Hard level might be the end point for me on Guitar Hero. Ouch, my fingers. . .
  • No, dumb customer who thinks he’s funny, that item is NOT free if the register scanner has a problem reading the bar code. IDIOT!
  • I love on-line retailers who accept PayPal. Makes it so much easier. [I Heart Adorama.]
  • Given the results of Week 17 of the regular season, the Super Bowl, er, “The Big Game” should be an interesting one this year.

The internet has shrunk the word; it’s 24/7 living out there, across the globe. But the major blogs still shut down for the weekend. . .

Air Plane On A Conveyor Belt episode of Mythbusters is January 30th. You’ve been warned.

    Absolute Watchmen –is a must. I hope to God that you’ve read it before now though. I bought the Absolute edition because I wore out the “pamphlets” and tpb’s (2 of them ), I love that book. Plus – is nice to see that art all big size and stuff.

    I heartily recommend the WATCHMEN Sourcebook – from MAYFAIR ( I think ). They designed it for use with the rpg’s they were making back then for DC – but it is also an awesome companion to the series – as it has a lot of notes and behind the scenes stuff – that almost certainly was lifted from Alan Moore’s notes. Right now – it can still be found on eBay for nothing too crazy an amount- but a year from now- all bets are off for what it’ll go for.

    Yes, I’ve read WATCHMEN before. Twice, as I recall. This will be the first time reading the ABSOLUTE edition. For now, that will just have to be enough. I’m far too backed up on other comics to go deep on any one of them at the moment. =(

    Here in Australia, used to be a time early on, if the first item to scan doesn’t register right, it’s free and all the rest are done normally based on the correct shelf price. Still might be the way, but only last seen in the supermarkets.

    Soon — I should have guessed it; now I can blame Australia! ;-)
