Q: Has Rickrolling strangers on omegle.com with ASCII Astley art gotten old yet?
A: Never gonna give you up.

March 2009
Recently, seems like Valleywag has been little more than whatever dumb shit Owen read on Twitter. Too lazy to even make shit up anymore?
Rehearsing my Ignite SF presentation (http://bit.ly/3pKU). It feels sorta like running alongside a burning traincar & trying to climb aboard
Growing my grizzly adams beard and giving up writing to pursue a career in hip hop.
Encarta still exists?
Can you imagine seeing the giant fireball on 280 (http://bit.ly/FMnZy) and not knowing it was for a TV show (http://bit.ly/gmZEx)? Dumb.
Weird. The building next door just crumbled and fell to the ground.

Broke two beer bottles in a row with the opener affixed to @harperbikebeer’s saddle (aka: bike seat). Damn! http://twitpic.com/2l9p8
Back from an 18.77 mile training run with 2,325 feet of climbing. Punishing. Time to reward myself with some beer in the Panhandle sun.

Totes meant to observe #earthhour but I had to burn a bunch of styrofoam first & by the time I finished that & my motor oil dump it was over

Failed to motivate for my 50+ mile bike ride this morning. Worried about whether or not I’m in shape for Wildflower long course.
“Ritual” brings back so many memories: Saw Suicidal Tendencies open for Jane’s in a Fla gym with a head full of blotter acid in 90 or 91.
Listening to Jane’s Ritual end-to-end this morning for the first time I can remember in 17 or 18 years or so. Still know all the words.
There are too many standards

Do you need to show somebody how to favorite stuff on Twitter? There’s a smartass single-serving site for that now: http://pleasefave.us/
RT@nmillions: Choosing bands for Wired’s new music podcast. April/May releases. Suggestions?
Pretty unhappy with my Twitter updates lately. Bland. Stale. Lacking in thought leadership. Considering firing my Twitter ghostwriter.
Just finished Twilight and now I’m tackling A Dog in a Hat. I am not actually literate, but I do enjoy reading.
Poker! http://twitpic.com/2hiam
I have a 5&7 of spades
5/6 people at this poker table are on Twitter. @dannydoom is immediately to my left.
On my way to take some fools’ money.
Being awesome.
What a gorgeous morning. Perfect day to strap myself into a machine that measures my eye & facial movement, perspiration & brain activity.
Fun story in (yesterday’s) New York Times about my favorite performance-enhancing drug (I’m on it right now!) http://bit.ly/37u0Wr
Un-Southern people should not be allowed to use the word “y’all,” y’all. Y’all say it wrong and write it worse. Seriously, shutup, y’all.
H&R Block failed to file both my state and federal taxes last year, despite giving me a receipt claiming to have done so. I’m kinda pissed.
My story on Web-based (or enhanced) travel-tools is up on Budget Travel: http://bit.ly/15jgzQ

New Geoshagging app (see: http://bit.ly/lbsmat) makes cruising GG Park for anon-handjobs obsolete: http://grindrguy.com (via @sarahlefton)
I seem to be the only media professional in the United States (world?) who isn’t smart enough to know exactly how to “fix” Wall Street.
I really *did* want to hear @biz on Forum, but Michael Krasny makes my underwear bunch up. Not in a good way.
Pete Cashmore will turn 24 this year. His jaw remains ageless.
I am so very disappointed in all of you.
Dear San Francisco: Seriously. One of you wants to meet me at Aquatic Park tomorrow morning at 7 (or 7:30?) for a bay swim. But who?
Dear MobileMe: My phone’s great but it’s been 24 hours. How about, you know, delivering my email to my desktop or webmail as well?
Crazy! RT@joemfbrown: Walked into my hotel in Hanoi and saw a giant smiling photo of @mat on the wall. “You know Mr. Mathew!”
I’ll be speaking at Ignite on 04/01 (no joke): http://bit.ly/3pKU
Anyone up for 7 am Bay swim at Aquatic Park on Wednesday?
I can’t *wait* to finally try out Google Voice (see: http://bit.ly/DKTKm). Most exciting GOOG product since Gmail. Who has my beta invite?
Last week I turned off *all* email notifications from Facebook. Best productivity hack ever. Don’t know why I ever had any on to begin with.
Tip for @wefollow users: Don’t pile onto tags like #tech (6.6 million users!) Pimp your special snowflake instead, like: http://bit.ly/l59Lk
