08:58 Forbes: iPad & iPhone make almost nothing for Chinese assemblers. Profit's all in components & design. http://t.co/oEYxVTit
12:41 If their support for #SOPA wasn't enough to declare GoDaddy scum, there's this: http://t.co/g4MkTg6Y
12:45 Warner Bros. really cares about intellectual property. Just not so much about anybody else's. http://t.co/9z6vRg4S
12:58 Here's to the ladies who bake!🍸 ♩"It's the most fattening time of the year..." ♫
14:10 @cschweitz Yep, I've turned down a fair number of LinkedIn invitations if I don't know them, or we don't have some connection already.
15:00 Road trip tomorrow. That means laundry today. Better be worth it!
16:34 RT @LoveGod50: PROOF that the earth is only 6000 years old - http://t.co/gqHynEAR [Who could fail to be convinced by that? Me for one.]

11:52 @BonesMcCoy A mistletoe belt buckle. That would cheer up most anyone, human or otherwise.
14:20 Finally got around to wrapping presents. Not so bad; I don't have to deliver them for four more hours. Procrastinators, think about uniting!
14:41 @cschweitz Easter's close. At least it used to be.
22:00 The problem with procrastination is that you don't know if you've started doing it or are still putting it off.

08:24 Oh, irony! Voter fraud procedures kick Newt & Perry off VA primary ballot. Newt argues potential primary fraud's okay. http://t.co/pPAjWB5A
10:05 Hope @magnatune doesn't mind me sharing, but this is too much fun: Jingle Bells on a sitar! http://t.co/rpURlYbc

09:47 @lizbelsky And a festive Festival of Lights to you too.
10:03 @VictoriaDahl It all sounds delicious. Lucky family! Oh, and don't die. Although as a writer, an infected paper cut's the way to go.
11:17 GoDaddy's stand in favor of #SOPA is beyond the pale. Glad to see so many domains leaving them. Wish I were a customer so I could leave.
11:30 The Chanukah story about the heroic Maccabees and the miracle of the oil? Not so much. I am heartbroken (not so much). http://t.co/vcPgUdG1
11:32 That was quick. GoDaddy rethinks its support for #SOPA. Still don't like them, but it demonstrates the power of public opinion.
11:42 "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." http://t.co/XwxjjxOp #jococruisecrazy
14:11 Went out for lunch today. Big mistake. Also, Armadillo Willy's? You screwed up your menu something awful. Don't think I'll be back.
14:15 John Dvorak is an arrogant, abusive asshole. He is also an idiot. Case in point for the latter: http://t.co/72ySc1cJ Be amazed.
14:29 @cschweitz @joshtpm How much of MSFT traffic was updates & patches?
18:53 Is it my imagination, or are the questions on the BBC version of @waitwait way easier than the radio show?
20:34 RT @YourAnonNews: Why did GoDaddy support #SOPA? Bc it had secured an exemption from the bill's terms! http://t.co/3yNmhaH5 [Shocking.]

16:40 Why can't we accept that a profitable post office is a stupid idea? We don't expect the military to pay their way, do we?
22:13 Like the March of Dimes after polio was cured, MADD can't win their cause and go away. Leave my cell phone alone, dammit!

13:24 Poor Mittens. Must be tough to be better in theory than you are in practice. If only you didn't have to be seen or heard.
17:06 Watching season 6 of Perry Mason on DVD. Bette Davis guest starred. She looks *old* & drag queeny. Scary that she was younger than I am now.

13:10 Just made my first purchases in the Apple Store using the Apple Store app. Great; an even easier way to part with my money.
13:12 Microsoft Store is open at Valley Fair. Just like the Apple Store, only louder and full of crap products I'd never want to buy.
13:13 MSFT Store has a slate for $1100. Bigger, heavier & more expensive than an iPad. Sure, I'd buy that.
15:06 Enjoying the Premiere episode of #Farscape on Blu-Ray. Looks great, although weird to watch 4x3 on a widescreen set. "You fart helium?"
18:45 Interesting piece on @OnTheMedia this week about Cow Clicker, a Facebook app I thought was pointless. Turns out that was exactly the point.
18:49 BTW, MSFT Store has Kindles on display (but not the Fire). Tried them. Hated them.
