I'm backstage at the Grammys. Dave Mustane (Megadeath) is asking Allison Brown about her banjo. Hahahah Surreal. —gabewitcher

an Apple iPad to control your earthship... awesome. —earthship_HQ

In Tweetie 2's reply screen, you can drag down the text box to see to what exactly you're responding. Pretty things! (23:59)
@jayjech yeah. I can't complain about anything but the name until I see one in the flesh. No matter what they'll mix things up a lot. (23:53)
Also: what are iPad° apps gonna cost? Pennies-a-piece as with the iPhone? App price to host device weight ratio? °cough, hack, ugh. (12:05)
How long until the iPad° can implement the primer from Neal Stephenson's Diamond Age? (°puke. I'd best warm to the name though. Want.) (11:59)
In the dark. Waiting for apple to post the stream to see things with my own eyes. Hopefully soon. (21:04)
And please not iPad or iSlate or iTablet. "that which we call a rose" and everything, but these names are bullshit. (13:01)
If this prayed-for and exalted tablet's name leads with an 'i' I'm not buying one. Or I'll at least do so somewhat begrudgingly. Canvas? (12:58)
This tablet thing tomorrow had better be some kind of unbelievable. Watched the Vikings game last night and that shit hurts. (10:47)
WHY did Brett Favre choose to throw that pass instead of doing the obvious thing and introducing a revolutionary tablet device? —jsnell
The vikings flew the 'Pants on the Ground' guy to their pregame meeting? Saints will never beat that. (19:40)

I feel especially betrayed because my LCD went dark the day Burn Notice came back. (08:43)

I seem to have lost the display on my MacBook. Nvidia!!! (11:29)
Yesterday the whole ‘Pants on the Ground’ thing almost made me proud of america. But then today Massachusetts happened and I saw this.
Cleaned the tub, put on some Sibelius, and BATHED. (23:01)
That’s right. The devastating Lisbon earthquake of 1755 prompted a widespread spiritual crisis among the philosophes of Europe, causing them to question how such random devastation could be squared with the existence of a compassionate personal God; our own makers of respectable opinion are shaken to their existential core, evidently, by the reflection that there are some calamities that can even extend to mansions and monied families.
I like the sports & leisure centers, the pipe shipping, and the in-floor beds and tables. Most of it actually.
Two weeks of vacation to kick off feb. I don't know what to do. Morocco, Switzerland, Spain? Or hang around home base in Normandy? Choices! (21:25)
@davidpaulyoung 90% sure I heard that in the Rouen cathedral on a beaut Cavaille-Coll last month. Organs! (20:18)
@davidpaulyoung Young Bach studied with Bux for a month or two. (I think). Masters both. (16:27)
If Haiti was the US, we'd be projecting 1.6 million dead and 100 million homeless or injured. Staggering. (RT@casinclair) —bldgblog
Visited my drug dealer today and learned that doctors really don't like it when you call them that. —diveintomark
@gtcaz I'm hoping apple pulled their best aperture developers to get a tablet-based photo editing and managing tool started. (19:15)
Gotta love when the iPod (shuffle of course) segues between two covers of the same song. Bonus points when there's one identical performer. (14:37)
It's not an adventure until something goes wrong. - Yvon Chouinard, climbing pioneer & Patagonia founder —JPBarlow
…by machines of loving grace. What technologies would I say fit such a poetic bill? ‘Earthships’ are first to mind. I’d almost put the iPod(/Phone) up there. What else? Surely not cars.

A doctor can bury his mistakes but an architect can only advise his client to plant vines. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT —qikipedia
From the inventor of probably the first PC: the “wibble-wobble method” of learning to ride a bike. Just have the kids wiggle their handlebars back and forth, and they apparently won’t need training wheels.
Borrowed a 10L pressure cooker from a friend. Uses anyone? (22:55)
@Parrot gonna be doing any demos in Paris? I'd like to lay eyes upon this thing. (@ardrone) (22:32)
Hammock and awesome Norwegian slippers. Didn't ask for anything in particular for Christmas but these are awesome. http://yfrog.us/0vq6vz (16:04)

In the 2000s, we learned that most of us love nothing better than to watch videos of other people’s embarrassing moments all day long, and to pass them around to our friends, and by extension, the world.
Back from Norway. Didn't bring home enough hazelnut milk chocolate, but can't complain about that being the worst part of my trip. (23:12)
Can you say badass? “three pink elephants.”
