vnc over ssh is pretty slick. pcanywhere? who needs it? #

slightly frightened how many typos in my emails as of late. a mind is a terrible thing to waste. #

Another long day. Ran out to Utica to watch boilermaker and ran about a zillion errands. #

Btw- watching the boilermaker is about a tenth as fun as running hit. #

So happy that Larry stopped mid race for a hello and handshake. He's still my idol! #

Minor heart attack when MacBook harddrive didn't wanna spin up after a sleep. Ironically, I was just about to run my weekly backup. #

Thankfully, a quick reboot brought it back from the edge. Phew! #

rocking out some Ted Nugent. fond memories of seeing him live @ SPAC opening for KISS, way back in 2000. #

well, whatdya know? a queen bed is just longer than a full size. so my rail conversion earlier was a pointless exercise. #

wallet lighter after appropriate rails acquired from salesperson at raymour and flanagan who first insisted they didn't sell them separately #

guess I get to see what its like to sleep in our own guest bed. wonder if that room comes with free continental breakfast in the morning? #

enjoying dave and tim show from 7/6. dave is very chatty. like him saying 'some of you guys drink a little too much.' #

RT @kevinrose: OMG… the old spice guy is stalking me.. ha'!! http://bit.ly/dubERh #

A zillion errands run already. Only about a million to go. #

Survived a 21 person wait at the barbershop. Mainly because they had good air conditioning. #

The peanut fried after a big poop. Enjoying a nice nappy now. #
