• 08:12 I wish every guy had a cute sweet wife like mine, but I know that's impossible. ;) #
• 10:58 @ichbeninchworm it only sounds sad if you're an advocate of the surreal fairy tale happily ever after way of relationships. Otherwise, life. #
• 11:00 @markpliu I agree. It got a lot of rave reviews so I should have been wary. Lower expectations = more enjoyability. #
• 11:51 @ichbeninchworm sounds good! Let's all shirk off our bad decisions and abandon our consequences. That's sure to make future choices better! #
• 11:52 @shannonolson it may be too late. @smellvin? #
• 11:53 @Brad she started following me, and yes she is having a time at it, it would appear. #
• 11:59 @Brad is that even possible? #
• 12:11 Thought Hov was enlightened like me, but it's short term: bit.ly/4sDKF #
• 14:39 @pbfundamental haha no boys club; I check the tweets of people who follow me, and since I know both sides I was touched by your candor. #
• 14:40 @froggyjumps I was hoping he would stay like that a while so I could point to him when people tell me I need a haircut lol. #
• 15:03 billietweets.com/ is the truth. Michael Jackson just won't die! (via @mattetti) #
• 15:07 @Capturing_Moods wait, leaving dc101? #
• 15:13 @Capturing_Moods STOP SAYING THAT lol #
• 15:14 @Capturing_Moods what about Roche? #
• 15:15 MF Doom is my new ODB. Yes I needed another. #
• 16:15 WHY IS NO ONE CONCERNED ABOUT #honduras? #
• 16:23 @dgroundsel only partially convinced. Partially suspicious it's "axis-of-evil-ism." Honduran president is unknown in comparison to Iran's. #
• 16:27 @Capturing_Moods colon powell #
• 16:38 @froggyjumps nah I got the "motherland waves" them tight knots lol #
• 17:07 @jrisjunor haha coldblooded. #
• 17:09 @funkaoshi sure some, but I'm concerned with lack of public response to the topic, also wondering if twitter outcries feed Iranian violence. #
• 17:20 @iamruinous you mean this is also @sunnythaper's fault? Nefarious Villain! #

• 00:36 Dinner at Penang followed by The Hangover with @fru, @markpliu and sharon. That movie was bad (in a good way), but not as much as I thought. #
• 00:51 @carpenterale VERY interesting topic. Resonates with my "every 300 yr" theory based on Chinese history: bit.ly/11mdoV #
• 00:52 @innerspaeth Because someone stepped on you, you little grape. #
• 02:07 @froggyjumps I guess I got desensitized after Very Bad Things. Go find that movie lol Hangover + VBT = Bachelor Tour de Force. #
• 02:08 @Capturing_Moods eww. #
• 10:38 @Greystone422 uh, yes? #
• 10:40 Wiki navigation out of the box has a face only a mother could love #
• 11:15 Ok... political unrest / presidential detainment/ constitutional threat in Honduras, a normally stable country. What color icon will we use? #
• 13:11 @shannonolson I agree. I really was expecting something terrible. #
• 13:13 @Brad it's offensive to think that solidarity doesn't equate to progress if that's your only method of making progress. #
• 13:14 @hamstra why have I not commented on how whipped you are? #
• 13:39 @froggyjumps 1 v 100 today? #
• 13:58 @Kimjoy it's an xbox thing, you wouldn't understand. #
• 15:52 ROBBERY! #BRAvsUSA #
• 16:04 SCORE!!! It's a game! #BRAvsUSA #
• 16:14 @jrisjunor how now? :D YOU CAN'T HOLD BRAZIL #
• 16:15 I call one more goal for Brazil #BRAvsUSA #
• 16:17 Ooh that was close. #
• 16:21 @jrisjunor haha not yet. Those horns are subliminal messages being sent to your brain. You'll like it more, trust me. :) #
• 16:30 Except for the yelling I just did at the television, I've not uttered a word all day. Haven't left the house either. A hermit but for @fru. #
• 20:11 @antipigeonsunit no, it's important that women realize what the end results of their fairytale dreams are. This is what you want us to be. #
• 20:59 @froggyjumps tell the fam I said what up and to get ready for a beachwear affair. #
• 21:20 Fireworks? Does not compute... #

• 10:37 @innerspaeth I almost went to see that movie because Jennifer Garner is a hottie. I am SO glad I did not now. PS i need new eyes kthx. #
• 11:30 best idea of the day: stepping out of the office funk and practicing my taiji poses for 10 minutes in the corporate fitness center. #
• 12:00 @shannonolson hey I am in the "communication" department. *spins* :P #
• 12:02 Sending a kind letter to our IT director reminding that "we don't support macs" should not include "but @leftsider's dept uses mac, ask him" #
• 12:07 @Brad macs are pretty issue free. mac users... full of issues. :/ #
• 12:25 Just bought $1400 worth of soccer tickets. @_@ #
• 12:50 haven't seen someone in a while, they sign up for tix. txt'd their hubby, he says he wants 1... I've got a sinking feeling. sth not right. #
• 12:52 @bdox sell all but two. :) you want one? #
• 12:53 @Brad I think the odds are much higher. Especially when it's DC united v Real Madrid. :) #
• 13:00 @camba I'm not. it's group tix to DC united v Real Madrid and DC united v LA Galaxy (beckham). you can see where my allegiance lies. :P #
• 13:10 Thanks to @siguem for confirming... yes I did just unknowingly invite two recently divorced to the same event. Social media is failing me. #
• 13:19 facing the music...specifically this syncopated nightmare I've composed. But I'm facing it head on. #
• 14:07 @bdox that's what I figured. :) #
• 14:08 @froggyjumps definite sign lol #
• 15:29 Ohhhhhh... that's how Michael did it! Michael Jackson's (really) patented lean. is.gd/1eJiW (via @kiwanja) #
• 15:33 @innerspaeth wait... I thought we decided Cole Haan? #
• 16:17 starting a weekend without @fru... she plans all my weekends so I'll likely do nothing at all. #
• 18:31 For the record, the music in the sculpture garden event is a horrible meetup spot. yfrog.com/13uzkj #
• 18:31 @innerspaeth ha. #
• 18:33 @smellvin this is something I warned you about. It's not just 3gs. #
• 18:34 @Kimjoy wuz lolcatnapping. Try again laterz. #
• 20:19 Capoeira at #artomatic yfrog.com/11lzqj #
• 23:02 @J1 was supposed to meet friends there. didn't work out so well as it was packed full. #
• 23:09 embarrassed; I totally lost track of time downtown with friends. The train was not slow because of the accident, it was because it's 10pm. #
• 23:10 Home around 11. Happy Sabboth :S #
• 23:13 It still hasn't registered that the sun sets very late now. I feel like it's 9. It's like my windowless office gives me permanent jetlag. #
• 23:35 @markpliu I always looked at that place but figured I'd miss out as a vegetarian. Malaysian style coconut fried rice tomorrow!!! #

• 09:32 @shannonolson it's when you tweet what someone else said, giving credit of course. Either by adding RT or (via) #
• 09:34 @shannonolson it's a way to share info across social circles #
• 13:44 so many things make me angry. have I forgotten what brings me joy? #
• 13:50 @innerspaeth that's so douche. #
• 15:18 @camba I think a trip would make me happy. hmm. #
• 15:18 @Brad truer words have never been spoken. #
• 15:20 @Fru I think I've done pretty good getting rid of expectations of others. It's really hard getting rid of expectations of self. #
• 15:22 For the record, people, my anger invariably comes from my inability to understand. Sometimes I'm slow; most times they're just not sharing. #
• 15:26 You must understand the problem to solve it. Solutions without solvency aren't solutions, I promise. #
• 17:00 @kiwanja tell @cshirky that @frontlinesms can help with Iran. He's recommending shortwave instead. #
• 17:01 @camba that weed smell is hard to get rid of. :P #
• 17:37 @pbfundamental it sucks when you realize you're always only angry with yourself. :/ #
• 17:39 Desperately needing to file. My desk is starting to look like I work with paper. #
• 18:10 @Capturing_Moods OOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGG YOU JINXED MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!!!! @_@ #
• 18:14 How many minutes till Michael Jackson trends... Cast your bets. #ihavenoheartwhatsoever #
• 18:15 Too late; top trend. #iranelection never had a chance. Maybe we need more green icons... #
• 18:31 @Capturing_Moods I'm blaming this on you. :P #
• 18:59 @jess3 you know that event is gonna be off the chain given the circumstances. #
• 19:01 @Capturing_Moods then slowly bleach it. #ihavenoheartwhatsoever #
• 19:20 MJ is destroying the trends. And twitter is running slow? Dude. I bet you IRANIAN POLICEMEN KIILED HIM TO DISTRACT US! green icons, people. #
• 19:20 @Milli oh snap we on the same page!!!! #
• 19:21 @Capturing_Moods if you don't shut your mouth... #
• 19:27 @bigtexlebrun I'm going on and on about the uselessnes of twitter protests and the finicky attention span of "concerned" americans. #
• 19:28 @bigtexlebrun many people have changed their twitter icons to green because of #iranelection. They did black before, for New Zealand laws. #
• 19:30 @bigtexlebrun My response to people I knew who were justifying it. twitter.com/Leftsider/status/2314092934 #
• 19:34 @sunnythaper I'm obligated to side with the brown card, being brown. But maybe you knew that... Maybe @iamruinous is right after all. #
• 19:37 Lou Ferrigno was training MJ... who's side was he on??? I thought he was GREEN??? also, this photo is way awful now: bit.ly/qgZIB #
• 19:42 MJ's body isn't cold yet the world knows. Neda was a martyr before she was buried. The time between the present and history is shrinking. #
• 23:04 @Brad listen buddy, it takes one to know one. #
• 23:10 Coverflow on streaming music. Pandora iPhone app developers, you freakin' rule. #

• 09:40 @froggyjumps sage words ol chap, sage words. #
• 09:41 @Milli @smellvin and I are planning to go see, but I have tai chi tonight. Any chance you'd reschedule to roll with two married men? #
• 09:42 "Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday." (via @froggyjumps) #
• 10:11 Twitter is ushering in a new tune for us old birds. bit.ly/ofLEZ #
• 10:12 @froggyjumps oh you know that's my game, son! Jorge said Apocalypse is a playable character for pre-orderers. #
• 10:38 @Milli I can do tomorrow or friday... @smellvin you in? #
• 10:39 Just found a string of sites I maintain that had no </body> or </html> tags. Freaking out subtly. #
• 10:52 @smellvin @milli scratch friday... I'm doing jazz in the garden then one last tour of artomatic. Welcome to join... #
• 10:53 @Kimjoy @froggyjumps on the flip side you'll start to enjoy linen pants a lot more. lol #
• 11:06 @funkaoshi it's been a couple months. #
• 11:08 @carpenterale you're doing @giencon, right? There's a possibility I may need you up front... #
• 11:11 @funkaoshi yeah. I think it showed up around the time the dotted border disappeared. Or maybe I'm seeing things now. #
• 11:13 @smellvin @fru reminded me we have a date sat night to watch the Hangover. :/ Maybe you can convince Shanthi and we can roll 6? #
• 11:18 What can I get for 10 Dollar? ANYTHING YOU WANT (@_M_I_A_ keepin' it slight): bit.ly/1z7ocu #
• 11:20 I don't have a problem with getting old, I just have a problem with not doing what I like. Like dancing way better than young people. ^^ #
• 11:22 @cshirky people reporting #iranelection need @frontlinesms. information distribution w/o internet connection. Free, too. #
• 11:24 @froggyjumps we gwan get it poppin' for PopPops birtdey in Delaweer. Cuz it's a BEECHWEER AFEER!!!!!!!111!!!oneone!!!! #
• 11:50 @J1 www.whendidyoujointwitter.com/ + the number in your RSS feed (bit.ly/g8HCA ######.rss) #
• 11:54 @super_mandy as much as I miss those days, what makes me wistful is that most people joining Twitter now won't have those kind of days. :| #
• 12:07 Off to lunch at a restaurant with the longest name ever. #
• 12:26 @Brad the first and last paragraphs of the entry echo your sentiment. #
• 14:06 @Capturing_Moods just ate mexican food. :P #
• 14:16 @Phenobarb you must've missed my previous tweet: twitter.com/Leftsider/status/2244079443 #
• 14:26 @Phenobarb and i still love ya. You'd be surprised how many people think doing something that amounts to nothing is better than nothing. #
• 14:26 Let's blacken this whiteboard with some excellent ideas, shall we? #
• 14:38 @Phenobarb I don't think @fru will allow that--even if I say it's for world peace. :P #
• 14:52 @Brad When I was a kid I was the "nerdy book one" so someone gave me an APA disorders book they found in a used book bin. Hours of fun. #
• 14:53 @etmueller you need to read About Face 3 by Alan Cooper. It won't be so hard then. #
• 15:48 @Jessie scared of you with that number... I think you must've gotten in early. #
• 15:53 @carpenterale oh snap you don't follow me? I guess I gotta email you then. #
• 15:56 first step to developing a design scenario for your web project: Write a Problem Statement. What is the problem this project is solving? #
• 16:27 Writing a Problem Statement will help clarify the vision statement, its inverse, which will allow for creative yet directed brainstorming. #
• 16:28 @Mykul don't be scurred! #
• 16:42 @Phenobarb that's an indicator of half-baked ideas. Goals indicate features, which clarify work items. You should end up with a next action. #
• 16:47 #iranelection is slipping in the trends... maybe what we need is more green icons... >:D #
• 16:59 @gorgeoux let's hope that everyone will lay down their arms and bask in its warmth. Let's all get a tan (icon)! :D #
• 17:26 So wait... how am I supposed to get more followers now? People, unless you retweet me heavily, no one will know my value. Go! :P #
• 17:27 Also, even if I don't follow you, I check messages containing @leftsider religiously. Holla at me and I'm bound to holla back. #
• 17:29 The whiteboard isn't completely covered, but Tai Chi beckons. Shi! Hoooooooooooaaaaaaaaahhhh! #
• 22:18 @super_mandy I think finally now I made sense of it. :P #
• 22:54 Feeling better about my home tai chi practice after a few clarifications from today's instructor (and lots of advice from GRTC classmates). #
• 23:01 officially changing from "t'ai chi (ch'uan)" to "taiji(quan)" since that is how I'd spell it in my Mandarin class. Taijiquan it is. #
• 23:15 @brad MOP... you dirty dog. #

• 09:04 This morning's Z6 ridership has a weirdness level that's for the recordbooks. #
• 09:08 @Mr_Darling oh silly me I forgot you were mac. Change my vote to airport, tho it'll cost you more. #
• 13:21 @Phenobarb some people are trying to fix that. You should attend my conference: @giencon #
• 13:41 The lunch table shenanigans left me more scattered than usual. #
• 17:28 Talking with @brad... I'm really glad I met him @jessie @mykul @j1 @phenobarb when I did; It's no longer possible to make friends on twitter #
• 17:30 oh can't forget @supermandy (@jetpackjane) and @funkaoshi. I'd have never connected with you except via twitter, as it was back then. #
• 17:37 @aebsr all but 1 of those I listed in those 2 tweets Ive never met but tweet with almost daily. and we all follow each other. It's different #
• 17:40 Perhaps twitter was never made for making new friends, but when it started its existence depended upon it, and it was very easy to do. #
• 17:41 Had I not been a reverse snob, maybe I'dve followed @ev or @jack and been cool by now. @crystal was one of us before support got crazy. #
• 17:43 @Phenobarb we still haven't figured out why @brad is suspended. I think @jessie is trying to reach @crystal. #
• 17:46 @funkaoshi wow that's right. I had a hunch based on the style of your website. I should follow my hunch more often! :) #
• 17:47 @funkaoshi btw did you get invited to Hunch? I think it's open now; if not I can send you one. #
• 19:51 Remember me tweeting about a horrible green & yellow movie file for a presentation? See the new, improved version here: bit.ly/tGzcW #
• 19:55 hahaha oh man it is so rich! There's nothing better than a person boldly stepping into new world. If you know ansel, that link is GOLD. #
• 19:58 "You will NEVER hear 14-year old girls talk like this" looooooooool GOLD, informative gold. #
• 23:06 Daft Punk's "Voyager." Still all kinds of awesome. bit.ly/C6tR2 #
• 23:16 Ugh... Google Chrome for Mac can't use Google Analytics. Ugh. #
• 23:54 @mattetti that's exactly why. Doesn't make it feel any better, tho. #
• 23:55 @Kimjoy weirdo. Wait, you're over here??? #

• 00:17 6-song set with @fru (thanks to @milli loaning her wireless guitar). Fru made me encore with Coheed and Cambria's "Welcome Home" #rockband #
• 08:06 working from home. #
• 10:15 Thought I'd do oldies today but it's a bit too cheery. Instead Genius set based on Feist's "Gatekeeper." Currently Gorillaz' "El Manana." #
• 10:15 @zillionzilchzen we call that "food coma" lol #
• 11:05 @Capturing_Moods @jrisjunor DC chillin PG chillin... what no love for MoCo? lol #
• 11:30 Just got asked to sing at a wedding... I thought those days were over. 0_o #
• 11:31 @Capturing_Moods I'm trying to push MoCo instead of MC... just because I like calling the cops MoCo PoPo lol #
• 11:35 @froggyjumps come crash the party and eat his chicken wings lol #
• 12:01 @jrisjunor I feel like I should gogo moco popo JULES but I never did knoknow what all that was fofo. #
• 12:02 @froggyjumps smh that song had definite star power moments. lol #
• 12:49 confirmed longstanding german @giencon presenter will be back with FRESH NEW CONTENT. Very happy about this as I add more bios to the site. #
• 15:26 all day at home, shirtless, in basketball shorts. it's now painfully apparent how much weight I've gained since the last time I did this. #
• 16:45 @mattetti it was a tough monday, wasn't it? that's why I stayed home. :) Here's something for ya: tinyurl.com/llpo7w #musicmonday #
• 16:48 way overdue for a nutritive cleanse. suddenly I am pudgy and not exercising. :( #
• 17:23 @Mr_Darling linksys. the sleek black one. 40-60 bucks #
• 17:24 still a bit peeved by last night's racial profiling outside my own apt! MoCo PoPo for the loss. #
• 17:31 @Mr_Darling if you're unfamiliar, I can hook it up for you as well. #
• 21:29 my taichi class was great, as usual. I feel well put together when I leave GRTC. May need some additional exercise routine tho. #
• 21:33 My issue with my weight gain is that it's unquestionably tied to excess, and that detaches me from the gen population which often lacks. #
• 21:34 Metro train collision... so that was the delay on my way to GRTC... :( #
• 21:50 @mcnitt so you're the one that shrank my spy ring! :P #
