- Just learned “Holding Out for a Hero” is cowritten by Jim Steinman. Explains why it keeps turning into “Good Girls Go to Heaven” in my head
- Writing for Twitter
- Spam vs SPAM. I suspect it’s way too late to close the barn door on this one. Kinda like “hacker.”

Immortal 3G
Hah! “the only advantage of living forever is having the time to read all of TV Tropes.”
T-Mobile’s really expanding 3G lately. We’ve had it for a while, but can’t get a good signal at home. I think the building is a Faraday cage.
Mars, TTW etc.
- Irony: Someone just sent me email spam plugging the spam control features of their Twitter client. *headdesk*
- Very cool! From @ThisIsTrue:
COOL pic: Mars Orbiter gets photo of Mars rover, including tire tracks.
- Kinda wanted to see Time Traveler’s Wife, but ad campaign & insistence that it’s not scifi are pushing me away. Low tomatometer not helping.
- Note to self: No more light chocolate syrup. 50% less calories/carbs doesn’t help if you have to use twice as much to match the flavor.
OMFG & 2010
Funny: Logo for mfg.com looks like it says OMFG.COM
Can’t believe it’s less than half a year to 2010. It seems even more like “the future” than 2000 did. (Well, I guess it is.)
G1, Spam and SLIMEIT!
- Impressed w/G1: restarted for system update & audio player remembered not only the podcast I’d been listening to, but where I’d left off.
- Why is so much spam sent to postmaster accounts? Seems counterproductive to target abuse contact–it’s a topic, not an invitation.
- Misread spam w/”SLIMFIT”-something-or-other in all-caps as “SLIME IT.” I blame having watched Ghostbusters 2 this weekend
