Up, checked out and waiting for the airport shuttle. 5 1/2 hours sleep should be enough for anybody, right? |
| 04:09 |
They just cranked up the lights in the hotel lobby. Too early. |
| 04:35 |
Don't like the official Retweet. No comments? No way! |
| 04:44 |
Chicago traffic early on Sunday morning is much more to my liking. Be at O'Hare in no time. |
| 06:46 |
Still an hour before my flight. Breakfasted, caught up online, listening to Nikonians podcast. Would much rather be sleeping. |
| 07:12 |
Gate change: K11 to H15. Not the longest possible walk. But close. |
| 07:32 |
On the plane. I'm in the exit row, which is less uncomfortable than the rest of cattle class. About half full. So let's get aboard and go! |
| 09:10 |
Free WiFi on this flight! Thank you, GoGo and American! |
| 09:14 |
The iPhone FlightTrack app notified me that my flight has departed. No shit; that explains this whole "plane in midair" this thing... |
| 09:29 |
Pilot says we're over central Nebraska. All I see is white cloud, so I'll have to take his word for it. |
| 10:27 |
Installing new iPhone apps at 30,000 feet? Not a good idea. |
| 10:33 |
Over western Wyoming now. I cam see ground. But it's all white for some reason. |
| 11:16 |
Over central Nevada now. The white of Wyoming has turned to brown. That's good, right? |
| 11:34 |
@MsCaliLogan I really don't think it's fair to blame Chicago for your hangover, do you? Glad you had fun acquiring it! |
| 12:11 |
55 miles from SFO. Probably have to turn off WiFi and my iPod soon. Good thing I have a book to fall back on. |
| 12:33 |
Landed at SFO. Home soon, after a stop for something to eat. Breakfast was a long time ago. |
| 12:55 |
Amazing. My bag was waiting for me. Now at BART, waiting for the train to my car. I'll save you the rest of the journey. |

Argument for Swiss minaret ban: when do you stop tolerating the intolerant? Not sure where I stand on this one. http://j.mp/5MiOZB |

Okay, that was weird. Playing a game on FB when suddenly a commercial started running. Just audio, over the game sound effects. |
| 07:50 |
BTW, Chicago's McCormick Place in winter? Not an interesting place to shoot. Or be, for that matter. |

@slowprincess Yes, ma'am. Still here until tomorrow morning. |
| 13:51 |
Fun shooting with Cassie & Kristy in an old industrial building in Chicago. Life is good. |
| 20:16 |
Shoot's still going on, and I have to get up in 7 hours. Tomorrow's gonna suck. |
| 21:54 |
After the group shoot, helped with one-on-one shoots. One of the nicest photographers, and one serious ass-hat. That bell curve thing. |

Video Professor ad on now. Don't think I'll order. I hear it's scamtastic! |
| 06:29 |
Up, dressed and ready to head to SFO. Three hours before my flight; what am I doing? |
| 07:25 |
Serious fog on the way to San Bruno BART. Waiting for train to airport. Wonder if my flight'll be delayed. |
| 07:27 |
BART monitors are advertising Avatar. It's a movie, not the Second Coming. I don't want to see it, free tickets or nit. |
| 07:27 |
That nit should have been not. |
| 07:27 |
Or not been. |
| 08:17 |
United has insane lines at Security. American's were easy. More efficiency? Fewer flights? Fewer flyers? I wouldn't fly United on a bet. |
| 08:36 |
@Emeraldcity3 I'd put US Airways in last place. Charging for water? That's just evil. |
| 09:03 |
AT&T sucks at SFO. Full signal, but intermittent network connection. (Took 2 tries to tweet this.) |

Weird to be cut off from the Intertubes. But Tweetie saves my draft tweets, & will blast them out when I get to ORD. |
| 13:44 |
iPhone needs to let me add words to spell check. Doesn't know WiFi or SFO or ORD or others I use a lot. Adding them to contacts too hacky. |
| 13:44 |
Just realized something. American's showing NBC shows & promos. For years they showed CBS. Wonder when it changed. (Why is obviou$.) |
| 13:45 |
Just landed at ORD. Which explains that tweet flood. |
| 14:59 |
Chicago freeways need carpool lanes. Traffic sucks! |
| 15:01 |

Jim Emerson on @ebertchicago's blog shows that on the Intertubes you can never be unsubtle enough for some people. http://bit.ly/646ff5 |

Verizon sponsored last night's Daily Show, but AT&T had Colbert. There's something significant in that, although I have no idea what it is. |

| 16:24 |
@MsCaliLogan You mean you didn't know about that part? I thought your enthusiasm for Chicago would be short lived. |
| 21:23 |
Tonight's Bones is a giant commercial for Avatar. This sort of marketing takes me right out of the show. Sucks big time. |
| 23:02 |
Have to get up early for a flight, but I can't sleep. Watching The Rookie for the 20th time. |
| 23:38 |
Amazing commercials at this hour. Lord's Prayer on a crystal pendant. Vacuum penis pump. (Two different products.) |

@slowprincess Yes, but it takes the right two people to pull it off. I know it's possible because I've done it. |
| 10:52 |
Which is a better indicator of the end of civilization? The Tiger Woods' car crash feeding frenzy? Or the inevitable collapse of Dubai? |
| 10:53 |
Watching Tom Friedman on last night's Daily Show. How did I ever see Friedman as not an ass-hat? |

Back from a shoot with Jasmin, a Puerto Rican living in Harlem. She didn't scare me at all. (Why are you laughing?) |
| 20:25 |
I love this story. Rape-defending Repugs are pissed at Al Franken for making them look bad. Thank you, Al. http://bit.ly/628m3p |

@barryeisler Fixed. Guests will now be able to see attached photos. |
| 22:12 |
@barryeisler It helps that I get such amazing subjects to shoot! You can tell I love my work, can't you? |
| 22:13 |
@VictoriaDahl Try looking at the pictures now, Victoria. Fixed a small permission problem. |
| 22:21 |
@VictoriaDahl Do you mean, can I make you look to the camera the way you do to those who love you? I can certainly try... |
| 22:27 |
@VictoriaDahl I can do anything! Would you believe that @barryeisler's really a short, fat, old guy? No, wait; that's me... |

@JustaSunGod Biannual? Or semiannual? |
| 06:54 |
@JustaSunGod My apologies. M-W agrees, although it gives biennial (every two years) as the 2nd def. |

@JustaSunGod @THErealDVORAK is never more smug and arrogant than when he's full of shit. Why I stopped listening to the TWiT podcast. |

A good morning shooting. The subject is pleased; now if only his publisher feels the same way... |

@JustaSunGod Maybe your tweets aren't stolen. Maybe people are still recovering from the long weekend. I know I would be, if I had a job. |
| 10:36 |
@JustaSunGod Nothing to be sorry about, Lee. I'm doing okay. It's just that holidays don't have the same impact when you're not working. |
