| 07:28 | So gray in Sacramento. @joelmchale very funny last night. Breakfast now, then pick up model for our shoot. Gonna be a good day. |
| 13:54 | Done shooting Kaitlin, so now I'm on my way back to the Bay Area. Still gray. I'd be depressed if I hadn't had such a nice weekend. |
| 17:28 | Phony product boxes to hide your true gift intentions. Surprised they aren't real. http://www.prankpack.com/ (Via @CarolynCrane) |

| 12:22 | @MythBusters Taking candy from a baby. Seeing different tactics at different levels of development was interesting, and also mean! |

| 09:36 | @reduced Doesn't matter what happens on the Other Coast. Just have it all together when you finally bring it to the Bay Area! |
| 12:03 | RT @nprscottsimon: It's illogical, I know, but Hurricane Igor just sounds a lot more threatening than Hurricane Earl- [Just a hunch?] |
| 12:04 | @WendiDarlin Sedona's beautiful. May stop there on my Phoenix trip in Nov. Definitely going to Tucson. |
| 13:56 | @WendiDarlin I'd do even better with you in the picture to set off the surroundings! |
| 17:19 | RT @gruber: Imagine Fox News coverage if it were angry *black* men marching with signs like this: http://j.mp/d42shS [Bullets go both ways.] |
| 21:32 | Watched a 30s screwball comedy in Fremont tonight with an old friend from my Sun days. May, does he look old! |

| 09:13 | Anti-gay advocates pissed the law won't support their prejudice. What's a bigot to do? http://huff.to/aVSqxK |
| 17:44 | Just got home to learn that #w00tstock is returning to San Francisco in mid-September! And so am I; just bought my ticket! |
| 18:30 | Google's App Inventor is the latest The Last One, the program builder to obsolete all programming. Yeah, right. http://nyti.ms/cLI6f5 |
| 18:48 | On cable news, no one cares that you're a lying scum. Might even be a virtue. http://bit.ly/9xGFuD |
| 18:59 | The Daily Show: "So that's the Republican plan: to defeat Socialism, we must become Communists." Newt, the gift that keeps on giving. |
| 19:13 | Of all the crazy Repug conspiracies, Terror Babies may just be the craziest. Sadly, there's not a shred of evidence. http://bit.ly/awW1XV |
| 19:17 | Why stop at shutting down mosques? Close every church, synagogue, reading room & Dianetics center too! http://bit.ly/bFa77t |
| 19:31 | Star Wars' original producer explains why things went to crap after Empire Strikes Back. Blame it all on the toys. http://bit.ly/9pdbVm |
| 22:07 | GPS I use with my camera is dying. Time to replace; I need to know where I was when I got that incriminating shot. |

| 18:06 | Just got an email from someone in New Zealand, asking if I have AOS software for a DG Eclipse. Last time I touched one was 30 years ago! |
| 19:17 | Watching the new, morally ambiguous Murder on the Orient Express on PBS. It asks questions Agatha Christie would never have considered. |

| 00:02 | Thanks to @grantimahara for mentioning http://tinkershow.com/. Tonight's performance was sick, disgusting and very funny! |

| 09:06 | RT @scapersuse: As seen on a blackboard outside a tavern on E15th in NYC: "A dyslexic walks into a bra..." [Was he *really* dyslexic?] |
| 09:07 | The war against photography. It's about knowing your rights & how to exercise them. http://bit.ly/drIBgR |
| 11:05 | A meta-review of Marmaduke the movie. I don't think he liked it. http://bit.ly/cLhm20 |
| 12:34 | RT @hellobuglers: BP issue statement thanking England goalkeeper Green for selflessly doing his bit to repair strained Anglo-US relations. |
| 13:35 | See? This is why we can't take soccer seriously. Proper sports don't end in a draw. Ever. You keep playing until somebody loses or dies. |
| 14:26 | Just updated the four year old maps in my car. Wonder what new surprises my navigation system has in store. |
| 18:56 | @scapersuse Hey, at least "redundant" is in the dictionary. Did you know that "gullible" isn't? |

| 08:50 | Amazing! I have four shoots booked for this weekend. Now where did I put that camera... |
| 09:07 | @VictoriaDahl Fantastic, I agree. But Rubenesque? Not even remotely. @MonicaKaye |
| 10:00 | @toywithme Damn! Now I'll never think of "shaking the ketchup bottle" as anything but a euphemism! |
| 12:50 | RT @toywithme: A law firm with a sense of humor? http://bit.ly/54XYHZ [Tragic!] |
| 12:51 | @toywithme Pretty good, but not as ballsy as Morrison Foerster, aka http://www.mofo.com/. |
| 14:53 | There's a name for the inverse relationship between competence & confidence: the Dunning-Kruger Effect. http://bit.ly/cazFVm |
| 15:24 | RT @ebertchicago: We've always had a lot of Ethnic Studies in our schools. Until recently, all the Ethnic groups were European. |
| 16:14 | Looking at Google Maps & planning a trip to Maine (state #48) and Vermont (#49) for leaf turning time. |
| 16:58 | @MsCaliLogan You two think you're so cute, don't you? {:-> |
| 18:41 | Hawaii passes law that gives Birthers the brush off. http://bit.ly/ax67rC |
| 18:41 | @VictoriaDahl I dunno. Something about @Gennita's eyes... |
| 18:53 | @renatojr_rj Been there, done that. I'd tell you to have fun, but we both know you will! |

| 00:53 | Entertaining evening at The Bank at Bellagio. When does the ringing stop? |
| 08:54 | Two interesting pieces on iPhone development. Vs. Adobe: http://bit.ly/bOFNg0 Vs. Open Source: http://bit.ly/aoo9zV |
| 09:47 | Short on sleep. Hoping a garbage omelet with jalapeo will help. Need more coffee... |
| 11:47 | I think I just walked by @donttrythis at Bellagio. |
| 13:13 | Walking away from the roulette table. Ahead, believe it or not. |
| 15:55 | At the International Lingerie Show. It's good to have friends in high places. |
| 17:16 | Watching fashion show rehearsal. I'll get to photograph the real thing. (Wrote thong instead of thing, which does apply.) |

| 09:39 | Annoyed that Gawker RSS feeds switched from full text to summary? Change the URL in your RSS reader from index.xml to vip.xml. |
| 11:44 | @SuzyMassey How is iStock failing? Working for me, although that's mostly the contributor pages. |
| 11:49 | Meg Whitman, Billionaire Repug candidate for CA Gov, sucks in front of the press. Her solution? Stop talking them. http://bit.ly/cxaQux |
| 11:51 | I love Twitter. I point out how useless Meg Whitman is in a tweet, & moments later I'm being followed by her Merced County campaign. |
| 14:31 | @counternotions Pi Day? Wouldn't that be Sunday? |
| 14:37 | Just ordered myself a ColorMunki, something I probably should have done long ago. MacBook display color is wonky. http://bit.ly/dy887N |
| 14:44 | @counternotions Point taken. But don't we typically celebrate Sunday holidays on Monday? |
| 18:19 | @barryeisler Wow indeed. Moral authority? Papal infallibility? Are there stone walls big enough to stonewall this? http://ow.ly/1iH1s |

| 08:31 | Waitiing at BART for an SFO-bound train. First flight delayed. Hope they hold the Durango flight for us. |

| 11:21 | On the plane. Next stop Denver, I hope. |
| 14:09 | @JustaSunGod On my way to Durango to ride the train. |
| 14:32 | Mad dash to our connecting flight, but we made it! |

| 06:36 | Totally NSFW outtakes from ABC's Better Off Ted. Holy #&*%! http://bit.ly/8YOeqc |
| 07:09 | The jokes write themselves. Asked about charges in Game Change that Sarah Palin wasn't vetted well, John McCain replied, "I wouldn't know." |
| 08:44 | Think AT&T sucks? Hate Verizon? Could be worse; you could be a victim of T-Mobile text spam: http://bit.ly/920C4Y |
| 09:54 | I nominate @reduced for a Shorty Award in #culturalinstitution because they promised to return my dog if I do. http://bit.ly/shorty |
| 10:28 | Via @ActuallyNPH, the Making Of the #HIMYM episode 100 music number: http://tiny.cc/HIMYM425 Wow. Just wow. |
| 16:31 | I nominate @reduced for a Shorty Award in #culturalinstitution because I don't know any of these other posers. http://bit.ly/shorty |
| 18:53 | One problem with not working is that you forget about commute traffic. Left plenty of time to get to downtown San José. |
| 18:54 | Avenue Q tonight. Saw it on Broadway. Hope the touring company is up to the challenge. |
| 19:07 | Broadway San José has a tweet program. If you're selected, you get free tickets and tweet the production. Interesting idea. |
| 20:43 | Intermission. I love this show! |
| 20:51 | By the way, have I mentioned how disturbing I find puppet sex? |
| 22:13 | Groovy. Came home to an apartment complex in the dark... |
| 22:47 | Oh, joy! The power has been restored! I can hear my other computer rebooting! |
| 23:23 | Hey, Alanis: here's irony for you: French antipiracy agency pirated the font for its logo. http://bit.ly/7OUpqP |
