  • Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine has A&M picked to lose only to OU and go to the Fiesta Bowl. I'll take that. #gigem #
  • Nearly every day now I waste 15 mins to as much as 1 hr resetting my password/proxy to work in Corporate America. #dailybeatdown #
  • Last weekend, watched '127 Hours' and 'Source Code', both highly recommended. Checking out 'Into the Arms of Strangers' tonight. #
  • @junior_miller Same bike that rode the 2010 Col du Tourmalet? #
  • Why does my generation even bother with the stock market? Wondering if I have any hope of ever retiring at the rate things are going. #
  • If you hit a dead spot, visit my new website and cast a vote or two: http://t.co/KWxfBYK. Not promising much as usual… #

  • Is it me or is @OldSpice guy now suddenly an over-tweeter? #
  • Full-blown work burnout and malaise has set in. Will this pass or will it be a precursor for something? Hmmm. Maybe its just the heat… #

  • Was invited to Google+ last night, joined, then my Google Apps transitioned overnight. I now have no Google Profile and no Google+ again. #
  • Wishing I could stay home to watch today's stage of the TdF live. This is one to watch end-to-end. #
  • @DamonLindelof @CarltonCuse Interesting that this faux argument is happening during Comic-Con. Is there a surprise panel or something? in reply to DamonLindelof #
  • @SportsSturm Tour de France individual time trial decided the race this morning following 2 days of drama in the Alps. That does not suck. in reply to SportsSturm #
  • The Tour de France delivered this year. The drama in the Alps followed by the individual time trial to decide the race was amazing. #

  • Hard to watch the TdF crash which sent a breakaway rider into barbed wire. Crazy week. Will anyone be left by Paris? #
  • @DavidHainlin What the heck is going on?! This is now a several-days-old crisis? in reply to DavidHainlin #
  • @DavidHainlin Maybe you just need to listen to an old Saga song?! in reply to DavidHainlin #
  • @Troy_Aikman You have to Use Facebook as Page, then Edit Page, then Manage Permissions. Allow users to do post to wall, etc. in reply to Troy_Aikman #
  • Those News 8 Daybreak commercials make me want to DVR the 4:30-7am shows. Or is it just an excuse to check out Alexa Conomos? :) #
  • One more reason to like Dave Grohl: http://t.co/q06gvmy #
  • I more or less bought the Apple TV to stream Netflix. Today we just cancelled Netflix streaming. We never found much to watch anyway. #
  • Doing my best not to find out how today's TdF mountain stage went. For any normal American, this would be easy. Hard for me, though. #

  • 2 straight days without wi-fi is challenging for me these days. #
  • Recent events reminded me of this quote, "Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining". Gotta queue up 'The Outlaw Josey Wales' soon. #
  • Okay, it's 4am. Done partying. Happy 4th everyone!! #
  • @cnnbrk Man killed by grizzly bear at #Yellowstone National Park http://t.co/http://t.co/0r6TG > @clarkware Mike?! in reply to cnnbrk #
  • I just wrote a long email and didn't send it. That would be okay if this weren't the 3rd or 4th time recently. Its hard to bite your tongue. #
  • Testing TripCase publishing. #
  • I'm evaluating which team I may have to pull for with @teamradioshack's run of bad luck. Apparently another bad day for them with crashes. #

  • Not sure if LinkedIn is a force for good or evil. Recruiters tend to want to link up without knowing you for a job you likely don't want. #
  • I have this weird talent for waking up one minute before the alarm goes off, no matter how much sleep I get. Virtuoso display this morning! #
  • Giving back to the techie community by answering questions on Stackoverflow and milestone accomplishment with a reputation now over 1000! #
  • Hell yeah, I just bought 'Triumph: Greatest Hits Remixed'! What ever happened to Rik Emmett? Still doing his thing: http://t.co/A8QFm9d #
  • The Tour de France starts tomorrow. Even if you don't like cycling, its worth watching to see the French countryside. http://t.co/UGliQLh #
  • I like this: "Many an opportunity is lost because a man is out looking for four-leaf clovers." #
  • Amazon keeps sending email requesting that I apply for a job with no job details provided. Flattered, but its a weird impersonal approach. #
  • My experience shows you cannot teach work ethic. Maybe I'm not working hard enough on it? #
  • If you aren't following @PaulSherwen and @PhilLiggett, now is certainly the time. Better yet, watch the Tour de France on Versus. #
  • @jarkko Thanks! In the States, I somehow have to figure out how to not find out how the stage goes until I can watch later that night. in reply to jarkko #
  • @jarkko Who are you rooting for and who do you think will win? #
  • Gotta love the TdF for drama! Let's see what happens now with Contador. #

  • Watched 'True Grit' last night and enjoyed Jeff Bridges' performance, but wasn't as entertained as much by the movie itself. #toughcrowd #
  • Underwhelmed by 'Falling Skies'. Pretty poor writing and lots of holes throughout. Will keep watching, but its on probation already. #
  • @cameronmoll On behalf of Texas, 'Hello' back. We apologize in advance for the heat. in reply to cameronmoll #
  • @markmcspadden Braggart. Where from? Getting tired of GoDaddy, for sure. I get upsold while logging in. in reply to markmcspadden #
  • Back online after being at work all day where my password mysteriously got locked out and they could not reset it. How does that happen? #
  • Unfortunately, I need an attitude adjustment. Man, some things are really bothering me lately. Picked a bad time to give up alcohol. :) #
  • Catching my breath after nearly being wrecked on the way to work again. I really need a work-from-home job. #

  • Weird to be watching 'Saving Private Ryan' the night before I pull strongly for Dirk. Good vs. Evil back-to-back nights. /cc @SportsSturm #
  • 3 miles on the track today; mostly walking. :( Following the theme of sustainability. Financial health is nothing without physical health. #
  • As an Aggie, felt right at home on the track. Anyone see that A&M has won Men's and Women's T&F Nat'l Championships 3 years in a row? #gigem #
  • 'You can't control what the ball do' — LeBron #
  • This broadcast has had a multitude of problems; slow to explain situations, Miami-bias, etc. But it also seems likes its in low-res. wtf? #
  • Brian Cardinal could walk right into a scene from 'The Walking Dead'. But I love him, of course. #
  • Also, I think Brian Cardinal was the German in 'Saving Private Ryan' who was set free and later came back to kill one of our guys. Bastard. #
  • Not ONE championship for LeBron, DWade, Bosh and the Heat. Not on the Mavs watch. GOOD triumphs over evil. Could not script it better. #
  • No interview from LeBron or D-Wade? Very disappointing. I guess they aren't so quick to talk when they are losers. #
  • Enjoying the Miami Herald this morning, but now hearing that I need to read the Cleveland paper too. Of course, listening to The Ticket. #
  • I love watching the Stanley Cup being skated; always gives me goose-bumps. Happy for the B's. #
  • Parents cleaned out their house and gave me some keepsakes. I got photos and scrapbooks, but not the Barbie Benton Playboy issue. Damn. #
  • Happily watching parts of today's Mavs parade. Proud of the city for making it such a classy day. So fun watching Dirk cut loose. #

  • Spent the last hour watching/listening to songs off the @chriscornell songbook tour that we didn't get to go to. Huge missed opportunity! #
  • 3rd time in a row to take a car in for service and then have to take it right back in due to a problem. And this is a different place too. #
  • Dropped $1k on various fixes on car, but now have an oil leak and check engine light goes on on my way back to the service center. #dammit #
  • Funny how Miami can flop on one end and then deny committing fouls on the other end. JVG is right basketball is becoming ridiculous. #
  • Loving all the JVG hot opinions given that he's a fired ex-coach who lost a series to Dallas while being up 3-1. #
  • Dirk with 101 degree temperature. Haywood out. Peja benched. Miami with a healthy thrice. And they lose. Miami is not a championship team. #
  • Mavs still haven't played a good game and its tied at 2. When the shots start falling, look out. Also, LeBron is anything but king. #
  • What more can Dirk do to add to his incredible legacy? Playing with a 100+ temp and making that key driving layup. #dirkismorekingthanlebron #
  • Also this, fuck you Miami! (sorry everyone…again). Lastly, you might want to put those parade plans on hold, Miami. #
  • @mkw1342 Friend me on Facebook. in reply to mkw1342 #
  • @junior_miller Does Chalmers have your hypothetical super-power? #
  • Ice cream headache right now. First lead going into the 4th period since May 23rd. Good sign or will they not play well with the lead? #
  • Shawn Marion drives me absolutely crazy. Can't we tell him not to shoot under any circumstances? #
  • Mavs win. Time to get drunk and get laid. Well, 2 outta 3 ain't bad. I'm married after all. #
  • @ScoopsCallahan Wouldn't mind having the account since I hold Tom's domain sccopscallahan.com and set up his Facebook fan page. #
  • @scoopscallahan Follow me, then DM me. #
  • Loving this. @TicketRadio playing Metallica's 'King Nothing'. 'Where's your crown king nothing?' What's up LeBron? Who made him a King? #
  • @winstarworld Your ticket selling process needs help. Hard to buy online and the call center disconnects after 15 minutes. 2nd time now. #
  • @WinStarWorld Tix weren't online for at least 10 mins. So called, got disconnected. Tix finally purchased after 20 mins. Seems not fair. in reply to WinStarWorld #
  • @WinStarWorld Your site gives a non-direct phone number to the box office. Why should we have to go to an automated menu? Should be direct. in reply to WinStarWorld #
  • Wow…just got a note from American AAdvantage congratulating me on my 25th Anniversary with them. Signed up when I was 21. #
  • For some reason today, thinking long and hard about retirement and sustainability. Feeling like I have to make something happen. #
  • Big shout out to Mike's Hobby Shop in Dallas who helped me diagnose a faulty receiver in my UM F4U Corsair. Mike himself took a look! #

  • Back from Fort Worth where we stayed at The Ashton, partook of Sundance Square, and dined to Mercury Chophouse. Pretty awesome! #
  • There must be a sizable visible evil Ghostbusters-style cloud vortex over the American Airlines Arena in Miami now. Good vs Evil in 30 hrs. #
  • Two roofer visits today and we were gone most of the morning. Sounds like everyone in the neighborhood may be getting a new roof. #
  • Re-engaging on a moth-balled app idea as an excuse to learn the new Rails 3.1 changes (e.g. assets, sass, coffeescript, etc). #
  • This was a winnable game. Mavs very mediocre. Unimpressed by Miami. Mavs win game 2. But tonight, score one for evil. I hate evil. #
  • Just done arranging for the insurance company to come take a look at our roof after the hail damage last week. Hope this goes well. #
  • Gives me goose-bumps hearing the Canadians sing their National Anthem. #nhl #stanleycupplayoffs #
  • Resisting the urge to cuss while watching this Mavs game. Combo of things irritating me. But Mavs giving this series away. #
  • Marion has had a decent game, but he's among the worst finishers. Dallas' window is closing during the championship series; suddenly old. #
  • WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW..WOW #dirk #
  • First home loss by Miami. Score one for good over evil. Miami may be crying in their locker room. We have a series now. #
  • Also this, fuck you Miami. (sorry, everyone) #dirk #mavs #karma #goodoverevil #
  • Free @AppSumo Blogggging for Startups Action Video today http://appsumo.com/tweet/206/?r=yry4 #
  • Watched 'Lifeforce' on Netflix the other night. Circa 1985. Consequently, I've added Mathilda May to my celeb exemption list. Weird movie. #
  • Over the last week, have dumped half the Blue Book value back into my car and thus resisting temptation to buy a new one. 11.5 years old! #
  • After watching Shark Tank a few wks ago, we decided to buy the @CitiKitty potty training kit for our cat. We're about to start the training! #
