| 12:54 | Fog on the way to Wine Country, but blue skies on my arrival. |
| 12:55 | Extra points for Tra Vigne in St.Helena: classic rock instead of Christmas music. And the food's good too! |
| 18:12 | Back from Roederer Estates with a couple of bottles of bubbly. Now in my room at the cutest Best Western ever. And no, that's not sarcasm. |

| 06:32 | @Molly23 Happy 21st, Molly! Now you can sit at the big kids' table! |
| 07:14 | Listening to the rain, I have zero desire to get ready for work. And yet I must, even though it'll be a ghost town today. |
| 08:37 | For the record, I did make it into work, lack of energy notwithstanding. |
| 09:08 | I got 56 images accepted to @shutterstock today! Check out my gallery here: http://tinyurl.com/ltgjp5 |
| 09:47 | Via @ebertchicago, Pauline Kael makes Plan 9 sound a whole lot better and more interesting than it really is. http://j.mp/fWEkxH |
| 13:55 | 58% of Repub voters think GOP in Congress should give up govt health coverage. What are the odds they will? http://bit.ly/ezWYja |

| 21:16 | What happens when @billamend of FoxTrot takes on xkcd. Hint: it's awfully nerdly. http://xkcd.com/824/ |

| 09:32 | Happy birthday to @grantimahara & @alyankovic. Thanks for all the entertainment, guys! |
| 11:33 | Should not have gone into the Apple Store today. No, I didn't get a MacBook Air. But it's only a matter of time. |

| 09:21 | Filling out an employment application. What fun! Now whom do I trust to act as a reference? |
| 09:36 | @womprat99 I don't want them to know the truth! I want them to hire me! |
| 15:03 | @alwayscoffee Are you one of the Knights Who Say 'Ni'? That would explain the shrubbery problem. |
| 20:02 | Shooting with Carlotta. We're clothed; she's not. Much better than the other way around. |

| 08:49 | Planning a trip to New England for the fall. Planning almost as much fun as going! Okay, not really. |

| 01:01 | Just got back from #w00tstock. Truly epic both for its length and its content. Hurt from laughing so much. |
| 06:04 | Five hours of sleep. Gonna be a zombie today, which is really more @jonathancoulton than @paulandstorm. #w00tstock |
| 08:09 | Politico admits they are attention whores and are part of the problem with journalism. http://bit.ly/dddd5J |
| 08:32 | John Gruber refuses to say Fake Steve Jobs is full of it. Sorta. http://tinyurl.com/23k97sd |

| 09:14 | Back to the airport. That was quick! But worth it. |
| 09:50 | At the gate. San Francisco & Sacramento flights delayed. San José still shows on time. We shall see. |
| 13:29 | Home. Seriously fried, but it was so worth it. |

| 15:09 | RT @BonesMcCoy: I want to trade in my communicator for an iPhone 4 but Spock won't let me. This must be how Verizon customers feel. |
| 18:17 | Highway Patrol had all the northbound onramps blocked on 280. WTF? |
| 18:21 | Having a quick dinner before I see our 48 Hour Film on a real screen. How exciting! |
| 23:47 | Our 48 Hour Film turned out surprisingly well. Audience reaction was interesting. They ooohed and laughed at some curious places. |

| 06:59 | You can't wear a chicken suit to a Nevada polling place. Guess First Amendment rights don't include feathers. http://bit.ly/asBaX9 |

| 13:39 | Top of the world, ma! http://yfrog.com/g029rj |
| 16:52 | Bad news: there's dust on my camera's sensor. Good news: it's high in the frame & easy to retouch out of today's beautiful blue sky. |
| 17:04 | Useful tip: If you're going to clean your camera's sensor, put the memory card back in before you take a test shot. |
| 17:12 | Via @ebertchicago, telling science from pretenders to the title. Like Intelligent Design, to name one example. http://bit.ly/9UNKwV |

| 00:26 | Home again. Conan was great, as was guest performer Chris Isaac. Worth losing my voice. #cobnob |
| 08:03 | @alwayscoffee By "batshit crazy", are we talking about Scott Baio? |
| 08:18 | @janewiedlin You were there? Great show at the Masonic last night. #cobnob |
| 08:43 | BTW, Masturbating Bear: NBC intellectual property. Self-Pleasuring Panda: legally unfettered. Now you know. #cobnob |
| 10:12 | "The Force is strong in this sperm." http://ow.ly/1Cg7U |
| 10:37 | On my way to the airport. Next stop: my photography weekend on Temecula. |
| 10:58 | Long line at SJC security. Glad I give myself lots of time. |
| 11:33 | @lomara Thanks for the @washosaurus RT. Just bought one of the little bears. |
| 11:35 | @ConanOBrien I'm sure the hot guys feel the same way. |
| 11:38 | Wondering jest how many chickens your medical procedures are gonna cost? Find out now with the Sue Lowden calculator: http://lowdenplan.com/ |
| 12:29 | On the plane. Next stop Ontario, CA. That's CA as in California. Not Canada, although I wouldn't mind. |
| 12:34 | RT @janewiedlin: Another important chart to study: Trustworthiness of Beards Chart http://tiny.cc/yiraa [Guess mine's safe.] |
| 18:26 | Watching as three models shop for clothes. Not for the fainthearted. |

| 14:04 | Via @paulandstorm, presented without comment: http://twitpic.com/1ahqwt |
| 15:07 | RT @wilw: This media obsession about Biden saying "fuck" distracts from really important things, like WHAT'S TIGER WOODS DOING RIGHT NOW?! |
| 17:02 | Crap! Rush promised to leave over HCR, but now he's staying? Can't trust anybody any more. |
| 17:06 | "Oh shit, what if GOP starts a campaign of mindless obstructionism, stalling Congress and making it next to impossible to pass legislation?" |
| 17:12 | "He's got a ticket for Rush, and he don't care (Mah baby don't care...)" http://www.aticketforrush.com/ |
| 18:46 | RT @ebertchicago: Dear Joe Biden: In my experience, there are some situations that absolutely justify using the words "Big fucking deal." |
| 19:30 | First time using a ColorMunki to calibrate my laptop's display. Amazingly quick and easy. Wonder how long before I get used to the change. |
| 21:39 | I quoted Casablanca to a young friend. She asked if Heath Ledger was in that. I think I want to cry. |
| 21:48 | RT @ebertchicago: The voice of today's young people. Very short; stay until the end. http://j.mp/ctuuFf [Clever and inspiring.] |

| 07:07 | Took all night, but my MacBook is back to life. Thanks to Apple Support, Migration Assistant & Time Machine for the easy (but slow) restore. |
| 09:16 | RT @paulandstorm: Download our song "Lose the Gonads" for FREES to celebrate the Humane Society's Spay Day! http://is.gd/90WOv [Ewwww!] |
| 15:32 | Finally started work on my taxes, only to be stopped by my brokerage, which won't have my 1099 ready until 3/15, maybe even later. |
| 19:27 | At the @svtweetup. Life is strange when you're a shy extrovert. |
| 20:34 | RT @ebertchicago: The decline of talking like you're intelligent and sincerely care. http://j.mp/bZfKpa [Inspiring, ya know?] |
| 21:36 | Thanks to @VictoriaDahl and @HeatherOsborn the appeal of curling becomes clear. Also its religious overtones. http://i.imgur.com/7tVxW.jpg |

| 09:56 | All booked for the Durango & Silverton photographer special run on the 14th. We're taking it in the caboose, which is *not* a euphemism. |
| 10:46 | Three different spam messages, all offering me loans for $1500. Is there something magic about that number? |
| 11:08 | Off to a photo shoot. Running on six hours of sleep, which doesn't bode well for my photographic brilliance. |
| 21:52 | @allibinky The seats at the Music Hall may suck (okay, they do), but the show's worth the pain. Loved last night; wish I were there tonight. |
