20:15 | Long day photo workshopping. Rain spoiled our street photography plans, so we ended up in an abandoned brick factory. Cool stuff. |

07:03 | In-room Internet is finally working. Still, much better people watching (okay, girl watching) down in the lobby. |
18:48 | Back from dinner with @chrusmarquardt and the photo workshop folks. The edumacation starts tomorrow bright and early. Okay, not early. |

08:32 | Went looking for breakfast and then a walk around downtown Toronto. Got back to the hotel soaked to the skin. Oh, the humidity! |
08:32 | RT @JohnRossBowie: Facebook is the crazy single girl who keeps rearranging furniture because THAT's gonna stop the voices. [So that's it!] |
08:34 | Just got the email: I'm now permanent Platinum in American Airlines' frequent flyer program. Worship me. |
08:53 | @scapersuse Good thing I brought an umbrella *and* a raincoat. |
12:50 | You know those "arrr"s we ejaculate on Talk Like a Pirate Day? All lies. Have you no shame, Disney? (Short answer: no.) http://t.co/PP865pu9 |
18:38 | In-room Ethernet is broken, so I have to use the free WiFi in the hotel lobby. #FirstWorldProblem |
19:12 | @scapersuse The pleasure was entirely mine. Thanks for a fun evening! |

05:17 | Up way too early. Waiting at San Bruno BART for the train to the airport. |
06:19 | Free Wifi at SFO? About damn time. Thank you, AmEx for the sponsored access! |
06:21 | 50%? 1%? The point still stands! (Oh, Nikki.) http://t.co/bpWb0i6l |
06:39 | On the plane to LAX. Then I get to kill some time before the long flight to Toronto. |
09:46 | I can see WiFi but no power from SFO to LAX, but to Toronto? Hope my battery holds out... |
09:55 | Just remembered to turn data roaming off on my phone. Don't want to think about the bill. *shudder* |
11:09 | Inflight WiFi was $10 at the start of the flight. Now it's $13. Howcum? Good thing I bought it early. |
12:49 | Flight is bumpy. Make it stop, please. |
16:36 | My cheap hotel room turns out to be perfectly nice. And there's even free Internet. Wired, even! |
16:37 | @sledge149 I'm guessing it has something to do with the size and cost of the cast. But I agree it sucks. Love Eureka. |

08:17 | In honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day, @paulandstorm's Captain's Wife's Lament. See you guys on the cruise in February! http://t.co/GcDKIe3g |
08:30 | "I refuse to believe that corporations are people until Texas executes one." http://t.co/qmPUjLHZ |
10:36 | Laundry getting laundered, boarding pass printed. Off to Toronto tomorrow, singing Blame Canada all the way! |
14:55 | RT @RizzoTees: It all makes sense now! Why Netflix is splitting in two http://t.co/UR5u7DoP HT @michaeltomko [Oh, now I get it!] |
15:34 | RT @joshtpm: Oooofff. Sharpton just dropped a "Willard" on Mitt Romney. #gettinserious [At least he didn't call him Mittens.] |
18:50 | Bad news: The software on my Flip Video doesn't work on Mac OS Lion and it never will. Good news: I never liked that software anyway. |
20:34 | @VictoriaDahl Seems to me you have to wait at least 30 days before you repurchase or it doesn't count. Or so I was told by a broker once. |

06:06 | @KobeATL If it's any consolation, I like you much better without permanent artwork. |
12:35 | Racing to finish lunch before today's shoot, I ended up with mustard up my nose. But in a dignified way. |
19:47 | Catching up with old episodes of @TheDailyShow. Amazingly, I went an entire week without seeing anything on TV. That never happens. |

10:42 | I'm now following @TheWinotaur, who's kind of the Bizarro World version of @TheMacalope, who's just kind of awesome. |
12:09 | After a somewhat shaky start, last night's shoot with the beautiful Melissa Jean was great fun. And then there was sushi! |

07:08 | According to @thinkgeek, 44 years ago today Mr. Spock first said "Live long & prosper." So? Have we? |
07:39 | RT @ebertchicago: ROFL! Two versions of the same photo caption, minutes apart: http://t.co/8kS4JhFK [Maybe it sounds nicer in Italian.] |
07:41 | How *do* you say "unfuckable lardarse" in Italian? |
07:50 | @barryeisler Wait! There's a "free" association? Where do I sign up? |
08:04 | @thinkgeek I did get a "Not yet" from one of my Scaper friends. BTW, love the ears! |
08:35 | A friend's FB post reminded me of a co-op job I really wanted. It went to a classmate who didn't take it. He was killed on 9/11. Weird, huh? |
13:25 | Picked up a package. Got to my car and thought, man, they did a rotten job at the carwash. Took a moment to realize it wasn't my car. |
14:22 | "Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever." Brilliant. http://t.co/5BZYJF0C (via kottke.org) |
14:27 | George Lucas, now you've gone too far. Too. Far. http://t.co/6ezyHEPe (Emma Stone, I want you. So much.) |
14:38 | @VictoriaDahl C'mon, Victoria! You have to admit that Rush suggesting someone else is overweight raises the chutzpah bar to new heights. |

10:39 | @VictoriaDahl So excited you mistyped your editor's Twitter name? That's seriously excited! |
10:42 | @VictoriaDahl It is? You mean like Vic-to-ri-a-a-ah? |
17:57 | Interview is done. On BART and headed for home. |
21:08 | Not so much a review of @barryeisler's latest as an epic pissing contest between two semi-sane writers: http://t.co/XT7rW2eT |
21:15 | @barryeisler I was grading on the curve. Not knowing Blake, I imagined him as sane. So he and Konrath average to semi-sane. |
21:20 | @barryeisler You mean Blake is the one lobed man? Or was that the guy who killed Kimble's wife? No, that was one arm... |
21:40 | RT @lomara: A portion of the money generated by today's Doctor Horrible @teefury shirt goes to Club Mo @motancharoen. I bought 1 [Me too.] |

15:07 | Top of the world, ma! (Devils Postpile) http://t.co/H9y981T |
17:55 | My road trip is almost done. Tomorrow I drive back to the Bay Area via Yosemite. Might take a picture if there's anything worth shooting. |
18:54 | Okay, @shutterstock, enough is enough. You reject images for noise, then reject the edits for use of noise reduction. Your reviewers suck. |
19:15 | Repugs cheer Texas executions, letting uninsured die. So much for "kinder, gentler nation". |
19:36 | LA Times architecture critic hates new Apple campus because it's suburban? Ironic much, LA Guy? http://t.co/mSGKXOQ |
20:31 | @gruber My COBRA's around $600 per month. And an equivalent policy will be a whole lot more when that coverage runs out. |

16:13 | Rain in Mammoth Lakes. But the good news is that it's relatively dry where I wanted to shoot tomorrow. Hope it stays that way. |
19:55 | Score one for Travelocity. Alpenhof in Mammoth Lakes was a great find, and their restaurant is most excellent. Happy boy. |
20:19 | From the "Never Seen That Before" file: Strawberry Goat Cheese Bread Pudding. How could I not order that? http://t.co/IL47TGm |

07:37 | RT @JohnFugelsang: Rick Perry cut Texas Volunteer Fire Dept funding 75%, now asking Federal Gov't for money to fight fires. Any questions? |

10:56 | @millhouseyiddo Thanks, Martyn. Today will be uneventful. Saving the fun for the weekend: hot air balloons in Reno! |
11:02 | Would you spend $5 to help save a bit of history? I just did. http://t.co/qAqx3Ls |
14:17 | Reading new bio of Davy Crockett. Able to charm his way into Congress, a total failure while he was there. Tea Party would have loved him. |
19:21 | In my seat at @SJRep with 10 minutes to spare. Judging by the instruments onstage, it's a musical. |
22:31 | Back from @SJRep. Spring Awakening is a sad story, as only a 19th century German could write. But the music helped & the cast was amazing. |
22:32 | Got to say hi to the cast after the show. One actress was Lucy the Slut in Avenue Q at SJ Stage. She was less slutty in this one. |

17:39 | Recruiter scheduled a call, now more than an hour late. Try as I might, I can't see this glass as half full. |
19:12 | A study in contrasts: Cisco got rid of a bunch of people, but did it with grace. Yahoo fired their CEO in the clumsiest way possible. |
