It's funny how #silverlight makes hard things easy (animation with easing) and easy things hard (double clicking a listbox item)

@mfcollins3 I think the spam-followers on Twitter see the whole online experience as one long blindfolded conga chain ...

@rudepundit And why not make the cost of a gym membership tax deductable while you're at it.

@rudepundit don't just legalize and tax pot to pay for... Big taxes on things that make you sick, like junk food.

@DanWahlin listened to a lot of jpop in my early 20s, so when I break out in a rash of nostalgia, that's my calamine lotion

Finally forked out $400 for Creative Suite 4, as CS3 isn't supported on Snow Leopard. $100 off until end of Aug took some sting out. Still..

@DanWahlin I went thru a phase a couple of weeks ago of listening to 70s Japanese pop on Imeem. Sure is easier than trying to find the CDs!

Got my NIKEiD trainers today. Yellow/Orange with black stripes. They give new meaning to the Cockney slang "Gloria Gaynors".

First hour of the #thomhartmann radio program was very emotional today with folks calling about how Ted Kennedy had touched their lives :'-(

@mickeyw the really bad news about Groove is, with Ray Ozzie driving things, one day you could feel like that about every MS product :(

My cell phone drops calls whenever I drive past JDA Software's building in N. Scottsdale ... Time to break out the tinfoil hats?
