D1 just sent me the iPhone-crashing “effective power” text message. Not sure if I should be annoyed or proud of her.

WheelTod Conspiracy theorists are all so dumb that I suspect they’ve been planted by a secret organization to distract us from what’s really going on

I’m going to go out on a limb here and postulate that this is related to @googlefiber coming to town.

.@ATTCares This has nothing to do with U-verse service. This is about AT&T disrupting my DSL to get me to call marketing to upgrade. Poo!

@kalabrandmusic I should ask the source : You guys know anyone who’d still have a GATU-TE for sale?

via Twitter for iPhone

@MimsUkes I saw you have a Kala SSTU-T. Tempted, but I’ve been looking for the discontinued GATU-TE. Where should I look?

via Twitter Web Client

@thomann I see you have the Kala GATU-C in stock. Any chance of a GATU-T? Or better, a GATU-TE? Know where I could find one?

Yest we camped out for tickets b/c venue didn’t want tix vendor fee. Today I got overcharged by tix vendor. Seems like a biz opp.

via Twitter Web Client

Sorry @TOC_Fun, no can do. @EtixWorld wants a solid 30% fee for “Applause!” Phantom Tollbooth tickets. Forget it, I’ll buy at the door.

@LeafStorm I’ve seen R&D departments at companies that take this same strategy.

Debian/Ubuntu users: is there a way to remove N old kernel-image packages without running update-grub N times? Once at the end is enough.

via Twitter for iPhone

@emmarockin Not too surprising a transformation. The O’C women have a pretty good head start.

All that packing I did on Friday… honestly, I could have just showed up in a @ArapahoeNation T-shirt with a deck of cards in my pocket.

Plenty of liquid sunshine to get our @ArapahoeNation Y-Guides Spring Outing started!

@jzy I don’t always use FF. Insert your own Jonathan Goldsmith / Dos Equis parody here.
