06:57 It's Thanksgiving eve day, and I have an 8am meeting. Lucky it's via WebEx, so no one will notice me looking confused & disengaged.
08:29 Made the 8am meeting. And amazingly enough, I understand a lot of the conversation! Three weeks in, and I'm not totally lost any more!
08:53 So Novell ceases to be. Finally, a dead computer industry icon I *didn't* work for. After DG, Sun, SGI & Compaq I was starting to wonder.

08:40 @ebertchicago To be patient & reasonable is not to be one of us, so NPR must be one of them. QED.
09:38 Packed and ready to head off to Reno. Boomtown has all-you-can-eat lobster. But that's not why I'm going. Okay, that's a lie.
10:58 @VictoriaDahl I loved Bosconian. Once spent most of an evening at Disneyland pumping quarters into one.
14:52 Storms all the way from Sacramento to Reno. One car turned around, another flipped over. Separate incidents.

15:28 RT @JustaSunGod: BTW Hank, you're AWESOME! ;) [Nope, no effect at all.]
16:18 Hate to say it, but Jon Stewart was wrong about Blago. If I'm on trial, acquittal more important than having my say, whatever I promised.

Thursday's Tweets

07:03 Off to the Apple Store at Valley Fair. Wonder what the line will be like at this hour.
07:32 This line goes halfway around the mall. Disneyland doesn't have lines this long.
07:37 All this for a phone? Wowzers. http://yfrog.com/75jyrj
08:10 @meatflag Actually, it's a little of both.
08:49 Twitter's awfully quiet thus morning. Is everybody on iPhone lines?
10:57 3.5 hours on line. At least two more.
16:25 Final score: 8.5 hours to get my new iPhone and get away from the mall. Was it worth it? Ask me after the phone activates.
16:26 Thanks to Cheesecake Factory, Starbucks & Apple for the drinks and snacks all day in line. Didn't even mind missing breakfast & lunch.
17:13 @lomara Mine took about 20 minutes to activate. I imagine it depends on how taxed the activation servers are.

07:23 Time to get moving, before this house full of models starts stirring. Which could be any hour now...
08:33 Model #1 is up, and making vaguely intelligible sounds. Three more and we'll have a quorum. I'd have said minyan, but you know.
09:55 Fox News denies Climate Change, their corporate overlords, not so much. http://tinyurl.com/2dxhpdq
19:57 Four models, eight photographers, seven hours. Tired and energized.
20:01 @Rockne_S Conan was amazing on SF, so I'm sure you had a blast.

16:43 CNN's Sanchez & Blitzer finally get that not everyone thought HCR was too much. (Many think it's too little.) These are news people?
