  • Really anticipating this week’s TWiT. Sounds like it was a blast, @veronica, @hotdogsladies, @leolaporte, @acedtect, and @JonathanCoulton. #
  • Sick of crashing Safari on the touch. #
  • This is why you’re not supposed to sleep in late… can’t fall asleep… school tomorrow. It’s going to be a painful morning. #

  • Blogged about my day at NonCon 2008. http://tinyurl.com/2j5fuw #
  • @LisaSabin Your browser doesn’t have spellcheck? :P #
  • Well, this ends my wonderful-fantastic-awesome day. I hope yours was great, too. See you all tomorrow, twitter friends! #
  • @cspenn Graduating from iMovie ‘08 or ‘06? Also, when you get your answer, would you mind forwarding it to me? #
  • @cspenn Both eh? I couldn’t get into iMovie ‘08. Hate it so much I made a movie about it, using it. http://tinyurl.com/2kwejg #
  • I think Mrs. Clinton has lost her way. http://tinyurl.com/32254n #
  • Riding on experience is one thing, and an acceptable thing. Bashing optimism is another thing entirely. Next two weeks will be interesting. #

NonCon 2008 & Questionable Content

I had the pleasure of attending No Such Convention (NonCon), hosted by Vassar College’s No Such Organization, today. It was a load of fun! They put together a really organized and enjoyable event. Serious props.

The main reason I made my way over to the lovely Vassar today was to see a panel by Jeph Jacques, writer and illustrator of my favorite webcomic, Questionable Content. His panel was a simple and hilarious question and answer session. Jeph and Cristi are just like I’d imagine them to be, funny and friendly. No, really, they were really nice.

I love them as much as you can love people you’re acquainted with via the Internet, and hope they keep doing what they do for a long time. If you don’t read Questionable Content, I recommend you clear out a few hours of your life and start from the beginning.

  • I think it should be noted and talked about in the press the weeks Apple *doesn’t* release an iTunes update. Easier, right? #
  • I’m officially watching Monk again. Wow. What a great show. #
  • Heading over to NonCon 2008 at Vassar College later. #

  • Watching the Obama/Clinton debate. Let’s see here. #
  • Let’s put up a fence! That’ll solve the immigration problem… … … … Right? #
  • Hillary plays the negative card. Barack plays the positive card. Surprise. #
  • Oh crap. They both just got very uncivil. #
  • The plagiarism claim is just ridiculous. How does anyone go along with that? Manufactured negativity. #
  • Hillary dodges the question she was asked. I can’t blame her, though. #
  • Obama and Clinton have hijacked the debate. Sweet. #
  • @cspenn Sad, but true. #
  • "Google for Government" - Barack, be careful. I’m worried that Google has too much personal information about me. Heh. I say that lightly. #
  • Cop-out by Barack on the last question, in my opinion. Hillary makes light of a sex scandal. #
  • Did Obama get a closing remark? I must have missed something. #
  • Never mind. His closing remark wasn’t wonderful. Hillary did nail that ending, I’ll say. #
  • So, in the end: Hillary made a fantastic ending - but her getting booed does hurt. #
  • When CNN played back the Xerox line, they didn’t play the booing. Interesting. I think I’m done with Democrats tonight. See you March 4! #
  • Oh gosh… Television is an awful experience. How do people watch commercials? I just can’t do it and I’m glad that’s over. #
  • I wonder if I should shovel while listening to some podcasts. That’d be fun. #
  • Here’s the Change You Can Xerox clip from last night, http://tinyurl.com/2v38ut #
  • @cspenn What you’re really saying is, "don’t be a douche". #
  • @cspenn My most recent MacBook Pro repair threw me off for 12 days. Congratulations on your quick return. #
  • Last.fm… let me scrobble my iPod touch tracks! You’re kidding me, here. #
  • Crashed iPod Safari while submitting this to twitter: "Just crashed iPod Safari several times." Steve Jobs laughs at me. #
  • I’m guessing we’ll see the iPhone and iPod touch SDK on the 26th. Tuesday? Check. February? Check. Either that or they push the date back. #
  • I, for one, don’t care at all about McCain’s personal life, whether the speculations are true or untrue… Unless he killed people. #

  • Wow… I want ubiquitous wifi so much. Just spent 1.5 hrs in a parking lot taking my sister to a class. #
  • 2^10 spam in Gmail. Good number. #
