The fog won. Damn you, fog. On the other hand, this coffee is fantastic.
Trying to motivate for a 9 mile hill run, but this fog is oppressing me
Turned the corner from Fillmore onto Haight and bumped into @jonsnyder walking down the street. San Francisco is such a small town.
So Up was pretty great. http://twitpic.com/687lr
Dear @dishnetwork Who do I call about the DISH installer who just pitched a screaming/yelling/throwing things/kicking boxes temper tantrum?
Also: please do not ask me to explain the Madonna-Sonic Youth continuum while anyone is remotely sober.
Just saw the Lady GaGa Papparazzi video: @mulegirl was right; I was wrong. She’s *solidly* on the Madonna-Sonic Youth continuum.
Sigh. I guess it’s official. NoPa≠Western Addition: http://bit.ly/oQs5Q Feel kinda guilty about helping that happen: http://bit.ly/hPmmC
Man, these word nerds are impressive.
What the fuck?
OK, so the dealio is #savefreeradio Here’s the particular thread to add to if you’re inspired: http://tinyurl.com/mpp6gm (via @annavo)
I guess what I’m really trying to say is: Hugs are better than drugs. Let’s hug it out, bitch.
The New York Times has a trend piece on teenagers hugging today, which really makes me want to punch somebody at the Times in the junk.

My hummingbird feeder just blew off the hook, rolled across the fire escape & fell four stories to the sidewalk where it exploded. Oops.
Tumblarity
Tumblarity: Sometimes it is high, which makes me want to post more. Sometimes it is low, which makes me want to avoid Tumblr altogether.
I do like the carrot aspect of Tumblarity—it mixes well with all the other achievement unlocked stuff going on with Today’s Hottest Apps*. Motivating users via gaming principles, etc., etc. Yes, we’ve heard, and yes, it works.
But the stick?...
If I had to delete every app on my computer except one, I think I’d keep AppZapper, because it would make deleting all the others easy.
Yo, triathletes. I just reviewed the Garmin Forerunner 310XT for WIRED. Wanna see what I thought? http://bit.ly/16sxZb hint: pretty amazing
About to have The Facebook Talk with my Dad. Remember kids: Do not leave your parents to play unsupervised on social networks.
My friend Angela’s new album is out on iTunes & Amazon today: http://tinyurl.com/SparkBurnFade http://bit.ly/RpZSs
It’s gorgeous; buy it now
I was getting worried about North Korea, but now that the UN Security Council is crafting resolutions I feel *so* much better
Oh, fog. You are the party-ender.
Actually, the answer is closer to seven.
Wondering how many more times I can play LMFAO’s “I’m in Miami Bitch” before I get tired of hearing it or Harper revolts. Guessing about 47
Here comes the sun. Where have you been the past couple of days, dude?

Which prison will we keep Cheney locked up in? I don’t want that dangerous war criminal in *MY* back yard!
A girl just got on the 21 at Hayes & Divis still wearing her Popeye’s Chicken employee badge. Name: Madonna. I do not think it was Madonna.
Thinking of heading to Flour + Water for dinner. How long can we expect to wait?
Actually, I could *totally* see Madonna reinventing herself as a 16 year-old Asian girl who yells at her mom via cellphone on the bus.
I’m at Blue Bottle Coffee (315 Linden St, at Gough, SF) .
Three day weekend: begun
If you don’t have plans for Memorial Day yet, you should come drink beer & eat BBQ with me: http://bit.ly/NVEw9
Kentucky tourism website FTW: I love that there’s a link headed “Bourbon Interest Finder.” Yes, please! (via @vidiot_)
Liberty Mutual commercials weird me out.
Dick Cheney is a Naif →
Dick Cheney’s speech this morning defending torture and arguing against the rule of law left me in a semi-furious mood. As I listened to him argue that the abuses at Gitmo and elsewhere around the…
False alarm, apparently, sorry!
earthquake?
Memorial Day BBQ/bocce/kickball/judo/etc in the Panhandle between Baker & Masonic at, say, 2 PM. Who’s with me?
Going to Where 2.0 today? Come see my “Ghosts” panel w. Brightkite, Buzzd, Foursquare & Whrrl founders #where2
Anxious for Cheney’s war crimes trial to start. That man’s a menace; shouldn’t be left free to walk the streets and plot against America.
I’m sorry Dick Cheney, was Obama’s speech on a complex troubling issue too long for you? Did you have to pee your diaper while you waited?
