08:04 WTH? Mike Tyson got married. Have he even buried his daughter yet? #

08:08 #squarespace, #squarespace, #square... #squarespace! I'd like if they'd like us, but I don't think they'd like us. #

08:42 Would someone PLEASE tell #squarespace that they should be giving away Pres, not Iphones. Seriously. #

08:46 The Waitresses, "Square Pegs". Because @athletetraining didn't get the reference. ♫ blip.fm/~81fw5 #

08:58 Breakfast: "Breakfast Burrito" (1 egg, 1 Flat Out wrap) #

09:10 FYI: new version of @Spaz is in the #pre updater. #

09:12 Test from @spaz, and yay, no more lagged typing! #

09:46 Boss walks up, sees me look up a password on the Pre... then says to me, "The iPhone's interface is really slick." #

10:54 Users: When you send me an email saying you understood what I said, don't say "10-4". Also, don't *ever* say, "Please advise." Thanks. #

12:26 Thanks to spinach that turned out to be inedible, lunch is: 1 3.5oz chicken breast, 1 roma tomato, 1 fuji apple... no salad. #

15:42 Snack: 2oz honey roasted peanuts #

16:49 twitpic.com/75m2x - Yes, I'm driving! #

17:24 Well, the problem I was having getting the #pre to communicate with Vista was the USB extender I was using. Whoops. :) #

17:35 Dropped my #pre on the asphalt on the way into the car this evening! Landed underneath the car. A few scuffs on the corners but it survived. #

17:43 Think this guy had skin-removal surgery? tinyurl.com/qhqa4p #

17:44 New Flickr upload: Yes, I'm driving!: Gregoriopolis posted a photo: -- Sent from my Palm Pre tinyurl.com/mqvvz2 #

17:47 I took this picture with the Pre on the way home from work... the GPS coordinates are a tad off, I was on Hwy 70. :) tinyurl.com ... #

17:57 @OTDColonel I'm sure the GPS driving app interpolates to the nearest road to give the illusion of better accuracy #

18:16 RT @eveblackorwhite: @karrock haha, well u & @gchance WERE talking about alyssa milano's boobies the other day. :) - for @wwwjeffmayca #

18:22 Time for dinner! #

08:01 Of course I dunno why I'm bothering tweeting to @JillianMichaels. #

08:09 RT @BrentSpiner: Oh great. First I unfollow myself, now I'm stuck in some time-space continuum. I should block myself. Dr. Hawking...HELP #

08:24 Two idiots protesting: tinyurl.com/dm9gwl #

08:39 Breakfast: 1/2 Chewy Chocolate Chip Pure Protein bar #

08:48 One great thing about the Pre: it fits into my running fanny pack! The Treo had to be stuffed pretty tight. #

08:51 I swear, in Garberville there's an organic FURNITURE store. Seriously. organicgrace.com/ #

08:54 RT @DarkUFO: POLL - Which Season Bloopers were the best? bit.ly/KALaC (the link has all the bloopers) #

08:54 RT @DarkUFO: POLL - Which Season Bloopers were the best? bit.ly/KALaC ACK! That would be Lost bloopers. #

09:08 For @rambn... ♫ blip.fm/~7zad4 #

10:42 Snack: 1 Carl Buddig ham luncheon meat packet #

11:04 RT @keeponrunning: RT @blythemorrow: My name's #Vista. Can I crash at your place tonight?" #geekpickuplines #

12:32 Snack: 1oz honey roasted peanuts #

12:35 Me: "The password is ideas." User: "Ideals?" Me: "No, ideas." User: "Spell it." Me: "I... d... e... a... s..." User: "Oh. Ideals." #

12:37 It's a snacky day... Snack: 1/2 Chewy Chocolate Chip Pure Protein bar #

13:45 "Move your mouse down to the icon with the little red x." "Maaaaaaaaaaaan" #

14:55 Late lunch: 2.5oz tri tip. Now THAT'S protein. #

19:24 First time copying a file to the Pre using Vista at home... why is it estimating 6 hours to copy a 224MB file? #

19:30 ok, evening run time :) #

20:32 Tonight sucked, I went to run but my knee started giving me problems about a half-mile in. I turned around and came home. #

20:32 I think it's time for new shoes. #

20:38 RT @spaz: Pre #

20:39 I gave @brookeburke two days to prove worthy of following. I just unfollowed. Following: 10Followers: 718586 hehehehe #

20:55 OK... I converted a video to .mp4 but the Pre couldn't see it. Renamed to .m4v, it worked fine. #

20:55 So now I have Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred on the Pre. :-D #

21:43 Speaking of final snacks... Snack: 1 cup sugar free butterscotch Jello pudding #

22:31 OK... weird hip & knee problems. 350 miles on my shoes. Think shoes are the problem? #
