  • Great work Ticketmaster and U2.com, your links for the presale were incorrect. So many failures in your user experience. #
  • HP announces acquisition of 3Com. In other news, I'm upgrading to a 56k modem and am researching Palm Pilots. #
  • "The only conquests which are permanent & leave no regrets are our conquests over ourselves." -Napoleon #quotes #
  • Incredible. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had ~$310 million in sales in 24 hours. http://awe.sm/13BS6 #
  • If anyone gets access to this IAB report: "Building Brands Online" lemme know. http://www.iab.net/BuildingBrandsOnline #
  • So NASA finds water on the moon. Big deal. I live in Seattle. Find me a place that's dry, then I'll be impressed. #
  • I've reached the point in my life (old age?) where I prefer waking up early on weekend mornings, enjoying a cup of coffee & a workout. #
  • I could wake up to this mix of this song every morning. Beautiful. ♫ http://blip.fm/~gcvsd #

  • Had forgotten that $MSFT handles CNBC.com's advertising: http://awe.sm/5TUL One side is getting F'd right now. #
  • Why is there no search box INSIDE Google analytics? How has no one at $GOOG thought to add one??? #
  • It's time to break the running gloves out of storage. Saw my breath all morning long. #
  • If you can turn a 3:45 a.m. wakeup call into something fun, you're probably on to something. #
  • Genius Bar at the $AAPL store is like an ER waiting room. No People magazine though. They'd rather sell me more stuff that'll break. #
  • Being sick as an adult isn't as fun as it was when I was a kid. Canceled travel plans, too tired to work/read and no one to complain to. #
  • Walked into the Dr's office & was handed a mask and Purel. Yay flu season #
  • $GOOG promoting the Motorola Droid on their homepage. Didn't see them do that for other Android handsets http://bit.ly/2omnep #
  • You can already tell that Lebron thinks that Shaq is a lazy fatass. This won't end well. #

  • Wrapping up my SF trip with a visit to Swan's Oyster Depot. A cold Anchor Steam and Crab Louie salad? Yes please! #
