  • Heading to see Girl Talk live tonight. Ready for a dance party, let's see what the crowd's like. #
  • Girl talk gets frat boys to dance to Kelly clarkson. That's not a compliment. #
  • Cranking Pearl Jam's newest album, "Backspacer" and getting ready for tonight's show at Key Arena. Love the first single, "The Fixer". #
  • Dear $AAPL – your latest software updates are atrocious. iPhone OS 3.1 and Snow Leopard both make my devices slower & crash more often. #
  • Amazing show tonight by Pearl Jam. Really strong performance, soulful vocals & excellent set list. Thanks again @ctreff! #
  • I can already tell I'm going to be on a Pearl Jam kick for a couple weeks as a result of last night. Hello Wedn… ♫ http://blip.fm/~dszxr #
  • San Francisco friends: I'm in town tomorrow through Monday. Drinks in the Marina Friday. Flexible Sat thru Mon. Hit me up if you're around #
  • The only time I watch CNN is at the airport. It's like USA Today for tv news. #
  • Dear SF friends. Thanks. #
  • Look for the purple and the balloons. #
  • Looking forward to brunching it in the Marina and catching some football. #

  • Darts and iFarts with the Springmeyers. Just another night in Issaquah #
  • Coffee + cantaloupe + club music. Time to get some shit done. ♫ http://blip.fm/~dgcs7 #
  • Looks like the power's out in much of queen anne. Funny to watch how the businesses handle it. #
  • When the clouds look as they do now, I tend to overthink whether or not I should head out dressed for rain when I run. Fuck it. #
  • I have to restart my iPhone more often than my Windows machine. Something is wrong with this picture. #
  • Crap, it's way past lunch time isn't it? #
  • A shout out to my buddy Ken for the inspiration to close out this week with a sunset run. ♫ http://blip.fm/~dl5gl #
  • Typing Deftones into Last.fm and seeing what I get for the next couple hours. Should be interesting. #
  • Attending my first MLS game today. Go Sounders! http://twitpic.com/ic72u #

  • Closing out a long lazy weekend with good friends by going for a run was exactly what the Dr. ordered. #
  • Your time is your most valuable asset. Allocate it thoughtfully. #
  • It's easy to get excited about The Beatles Rock Band when Paul McCartney & Yoko Ono are talking about it: http://awe.sm/1R45 #
  • Ahhh football, oh how I've missed you. Opening Night of the NFL season at my house means chili, cornbread & fellow NFL fans. #
  • Wow, Black Eyed Peas opening for the NFL kickoff. Shocking. Can't wait until that song's run its course. #
  • 8 years ago I was woken by an urgent phone call telling me to turn on the TV. Early morning phone calls have never been the same since. #
  • Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. -Henry Beecher #
  • Kicking off a beautiful day with some wine tasting in the Willamette Valley. http://twitpic.com/hgmpa #
  • "Welcome to Owen Roe. Today's tasting is complimentary and we'll be serving 12 wines." Oh shit. #
  • Hey. 5 Points Cafe. Yeah. You. F off. #
  • Both of this morning's TV games are shit (Cincy vs. Denver & Minny vs. Cleveland). Regardless, it's great to have football back on Sunday. #
  • League specific chat for fantasy football is such an obviously good idea, I'm kind of shocked to see Yahoo implement it. #
  • Holy crap the woodinville wine industry is impressively good. #
  • C'mon Seahawks!! #
  • An astounding 80 degree day was the perfect setting for another day of wine tasting, followed by an Iron Chef competition, hosted by friends #

  • It is shocking how much email I get over the weekend. Here's a Monday morning task: set up rules & filters in your inboxes. All of them. #
  • Mondays are for turning things off and getting shit done. #
  • The correlation between people who play fantasy football & those who use Excel a lot cracks me up. Draft time: dorky but awesome. #
  • This is probably the most interesting "social media" contest I've seen. Go vote for @happyjoel http://awe.sm/1LFT #
  • Up early and testing out the StockTwits Desktop http://awe.sm/1LTg Nice work @sorenmacbeth @howardlindzon & the rest of the crew. #
  • Wrapping up my SF visit with a sunny GG park run. Great finish. #
  • I never hear about yahoo or hotmail being down, but when Gmail fails, Twitter explodes. I wonder what that means. #
  • Mmmm home sweet home. Hello again Seattle. #
  • Every day I wake up, I try to focus on what I can do to produce, be positive & be healthy. In other words, I focus on myself. #
  • No one should die b/c they can't afford health care; no one should go broke b/c they get sick. If you agree, share as your status of choice. #
  • There are always lots of excuses not to get your workout in. But they're excuses. Kill them with sweat. #
  • Thanks to @markjacobs my boy Ben and I have sweet seats at the last seahawks preseason game.http://twitpic.com/gedkh #
  • Long weekend tip: If you're already dreading Tuesday, make the long weekend a rejuvenation, rather than an escape. #
  • I have the kinds of friends who dedicate songs to me when we're playing Rock Band. Nice. #
