August 31, 2010 – I think some of my friends are using these tools. So what I’m thinking is that now they’re in my town, I should get a job there and MapMyWalk to work.

August 30, 2010 – Interesting. Chuy’s is a local chain of Mexican places. Very fun and high-concept, with mediocre food. It’s where people at local tech companies take their out-of-town business guests. Kentucky seems an odd fit. Now Memphis, that would be interesting, given Chuy’s fondness for velvet Elvises.
August 30, 2010 – Hehehe… yuppy novelty. That’s about right. I was into it for awhile using Brightkite, but the novelty really wore off. I found I really don’t give a hoot about check-ins (they are as annoying as saying “I woke up today”), but I do enjoy reading what they are doing WHILE they are where they are!

August 27, 2010 – He cat bin lady, I have a roommate for you in scumbag prison.
August 27, 2010 – My friends at Twin open in my father’s “ancestral” Baptist homeland. Maybe only funny to me, but it does give me a snicker.
August 27, 2010 – Regardless of whether regulations or fees are a good idea (I sort of think they aren’t) this is just a stupid picture choice.
August 26, 2010 – I would love it to e a fad. And if would help, I could stomp on it until it’s utterly lifeless and forgotten.

August 26, 2010 – Interesting story, from which I pull the following lesson. If you have a winning lottery ticket and wish to remain anonymous, create a trust prior to claiming your dough.
August 26, 2010 – See how fancy we are? I thought you had to go to New York to get a $34 cheeseburger. I can haz?
August 25, 2010 – …and into his home county, where he won election a buncha times, and where, you know, everyone is completely unbiased.
August 25, 2010 – I know just where this billboard is. I know because I used to stare at it during the boring parts of high school football games. I stared at it a lot. In those days, it advertised Cutty Sark. See what THAT led to?

August 23, 2010 – I like the garden of ears.
August 23, 2010 – Really? Really? Please stop pampering your kids, people, unless you want every single political ad to describe how some guy in a suit will “keep you safe” when he gets elected to the city council.

August 21, 2010 – For the headlinet this time, the content rather than wording. I love the media construct that when elections are close, or do not produce a clear-cut narrative, the electorate has failed. They have failed the punditocracy, which is, well, unconscionable. I say that with no knowledge of, or interest in Australian politics.
