07:17 Our hotel suite for the Shootout was so full of junk all weekend. Now it feels empty. Will be really empty when I pack up the car and go.
08:23 Saying goodbye to the view. http://t.co/M9K46Rqp
11:38 Border checkpoint waved me through. Guess I don't look Mexican today.
11:42 Just crossed into California. Funny that the scene changes so much on this side of the Colorado.
13:52 High winds through the desert make for an exciting drive.
18:27 Bad news: motel WiFi's broken. Good news: 3G tethering here is great, & twice as fast as my DSL at home. Jeeze, AT&T.

17:31 Quote from my photographer friend, Bill: "She was hotter on the bottom than on her face." Context is for sissies.

08:37 Funny how @StephenAtHome Colbert's conservative persona fell away when interviewing Harry Belafonte. Stephen was too delighted to pretend.
16:36 Tried Siri at the Apple Store today. I asked about pizza places, and it gave me a bunch. Asked where I could buy a PC and it got confused.
18:25 Herman Cain's messiah can be yours too. It's only common sense! http://t.co/jYSbbSaT

16:46 I think we just found one lucky pastor. http://t.co/1hQwXEIu
16:58 Lemony Snicket explains what the Occupy Wall Street shouting is about. And a good job he does too. http://t.co/7TJtGRwP
16:59 You can tell I have an outdoor model shoot coming up. I'm charging up all my batteries, and not just the ones in the camera.
18:25 Finally figured out my iPhone sync problem with iOS 5. It's the ringtone install app's fault. Got my ringtones synced too!
21:43 Rob Enderle makes a living pooping out "analysis" like this? The world is doomed. http://t.co/xQn8Ut31

09:44 RT @hensoncompany: In case you missed it, new #Muppets trailer! http://t.co/Y9fAAo8G (via @MuppetsStudio) [Can't wait to see!]
09:50 Had to wipe & restore my iPhone, but it's running iOS 5 and everything is synced again. A problem: photos now in name order, not time shot.
10:24 Call from Citibank. Data breach means my card number is in the wild. Get to learn a new # & notify lots of merchants. Joy.
12:41 @MsCaliLogan I'm going to have to stop into a Target or Walmart and get a copy. I guess you're famous; I'm just near famous!
12:51 Mormon Church touts poll saying 2/3 of US opposed to gay marriage. Funny that every other poll says the opposite. http://t.co/QHyO2oAo
12:54 Fox dipshit admits they should have "clarified" their story on Obama apology to Japan. "Clarify" meaning it's a lie. http://t.co/5m4ihnTS
22:41 Debugging a major tech meltdown. TiVO, Blu-Ray, AV receiver all failing. AppleTV & cable still okay. Rebooted the TV & now it's back!
23:03 Debugging my HDTV reminds me of why I was a software guy. And why I haven't done any serious debugging in a while.
23:05 Today's big lesson: before you start rewiring, try power cycling everything. It's quicker, easier and works surprisingly often.

10:09 @MsCaliLogan Friends don't let friends shoot Canon. Just saying'.
10:33 @MsCaliLogan Dunno. I'd have to see the card to recognize the pose. But it could be.
10:34 @MsCaliLogan I've heard a lot of good things about Nikon's D7000. Smallish, light, but great photos and video.
10:39 If it's any consolation, today will be a scorcher in Napa. Not consoled? Sorry about that.
13:49 @MsCaliLogan Yeah, I bet that's one of mine. I had no idea.

11:32 Taking forever to download Mac OS X Lion update. And then I have to get iOS 5. Twice, for iPhone and iPad. Grumble...

11:04 Stupid Yahoo! If I ask about a movie, why do you keep showing me Los Angeles theaters? No wonder I never use you!
12:40 "A long time admirer thinks highly of you." A tautological fortune cookie!
13:24 I had an email from a former coworker. Never hear from him unless he wants something. And so it was this time, although I was no help.
18:02 In what kind of world does a show about the Playboy Club get canceled before a game show called America's Next Republican Candidate?
20:51 Did Rick Perry really place the American Revolution in the 16th Century? Wow, what a maroon.

11:17 @alwayscoffee I've been drinking iced tea unsweetened for so long, I'm surprised when it tastes any other way.
11:51 @alwayscoffee It takes some getting used to, like black coffee. I like iced coffee unsweetened too.

13:22 @alwayscoffee And suddenly you are dead to me. And yet still devastatingly attractive, which worries me a bit.
22:40 Portrait session tonight, where we were both the photographers and the models. I'm thinking the red feather boa may have been a poor choice.

10:28 Reading tweets and posts about the iPhone announcement. The natives are getting restless...
14:47 No iPhone 5, just a measly little 4S. And yet I want one! It's faster, and 64GB will hold my whole iTunes library. Darn you, Apple!
15:30 @KobeATL It does support both GSM (AT&T & Europe) and CDMA (Verizon, Sprint, etc.) in one phone. Dunno how the carriers'll handle roaming.
16:11 @KiwiSpyGirl Minor? More than twice as fast, double the max storage, better antennas, supports two different networks, much better camera.
16:12 @KiwiSpyGirl Oh, and some magical voice command stuff that only works on the new phone. Plus all the goodies in iOS 5. I'm excited.
16:13 @KiwiSpyGirl Yep. 16/32/64GB.
16:17 Grr... Went to AT&T site. It said I may be eligible for an upgrade. And so I am, at FULL PRICE. So no new iPhone for me, at least until Feb.

07:18 Shooting with a new model this afternoon. First model shoot in two weeks; do I still remember how?

14:08 @paulandstorm I like anchovies. But not, I grant, when I'm expecting ice cream.
19:29 Made an executive decision and bought a label printer, since that's all I used my color printer for. It was *really* cheap, another feature.
20:47 Weird. Started watching a DVD of a favorite old movie from the 50s called World Without End. I had no idea it was in color!

04:52 Fire alarm last night at the hotel. Didn't have to evacuate, but it certainly interrupted my night's sleep. Groggy all day, I fear.
04:53 Leaving CA in a few hours. Sad. Changing planes at DFW, then home to CA. Glad.
05:47 RT @ebertchicago: Rick Perry has "Electile Dysfunction?" Now there's a phrase that could catch on. http://t.co/94gUbzIK [Hee!]
07:36 On the bus to the airport, way too early for my flight. WiFi on the way; how very civilized.
09:17 Pearson Airport in Toronto has free WiFi and outlets in the seats. Oh, Canada. You make me weep for (most of) America.
09:34 @scapersuse Tired. Fire alarm at 1:30am. Didn't have to evacuate, but took long time to fall asleep. At the airport enjoying free WiFi.
09:37 @scapersuse It's about 3 hours from now. The bus ride took a while, but check-in & Customs were quick. So now I listen to audiobooks.
09:38 @scapersuse Yeah, and I was so looking forward to a good night's sleep! That Murphy's Law guy's a real vicious sod.
09:47 Met my first Saskatchewanian on the workshop. Ron would have easily fit in on Dog River. And yes, I know it's not a real place. #cornergas
09:56 @scapersuse They warned me to allow 2 hours for Customs. Still, between WiFi and my iDevices, I'll be okay. Wish I wasn't going home yet.
11:06 @My_Cast You're welcome. Thanks for building such a great iPhone app!

11:52 Flight to DFW is delayed. So far my connection to SFO isn't at risk. So far.
14:41 @KeriSterling Sounds good. Think they'll deliver to 38,000 feet?
14:45 @scapersuse I think it'll be okay. And if it isn't, it could mean a night in Dallas. Not exactly the end of the world. (Typed at 38k feet)
16:30 Just landed at DFW. Still an hour before my next flight.
17:07 Connection to SFO is 38 min late. Wish I'd known before I bought that unimpressive tuna sandwich.
17:19 @scapersuse No worries. At least I got to eat. It's a long way to the Left Coast.
18:10 On the plane. Still a whole lot of hours to go. (You can tell my endurance is running out, can't you?)
21:54 A flight with no WiFi? How did I survive? And yet I did.
