The Week’s Twitters (2009-04-25)

  • From high tech to no tech: shutting down the laptops and setting out for Bird Camp. #
  • Taking it to the next level by using not one but two laptops in a coffee shop. #
  • Enjoying Bookmans, a great used book store in Flagstaff. #
  • Next, I want to go to Mysterious Ape Island. #
  • Watching awesome recreation of prehistoric death match between “mega lion” and “mega bear” on the History Channel. #
  • Flagstaff has been reached. Hot red dust blasting across the highway last 150 miles. Thai food is planned. Never use passive voice. #
  • Crossing the Navajo Nation. #
  • We can’t stop here. This is Mormon country. #
  • “Kafka would have had a Twitter feed.” http://tinyurl.com/crwxtv #
  • Sometimes it’s like Burger King isn’t even trying anymore. #
  • A ghastly pall hangs over Utah, as if to show the universe’s displeasure with the mortals who live here. #
  • Hearing the siren call of the open road. Also, the pre-open-road breakfast sandwich and coffee. #
  • Doesn’t Facebook know we don’t want to vote, we just want to complain about the results? #
  • Turning in for the last time in this house for about three months. #
  • Copying music from my iPod to my MacBook using iGadget. Pretty straightforward so far. #
  • Unfortunately, the shower has once again failed to clean itself. #
  • Cleaning to get ready for the short-term tenants, ahead of departing for AZ for the summer tomorrow. #
  • “”The job of the interrogator is to… help the terrorist do his duty to Allah, so he… [is] liberated to speak freely.” tinyurl.com/dzzvrz #
  • Surprised and impressed to learn that, in aggregate, the Earth Day protests in 1970 were the largest in U.S. history: 10 percent of pop. #
  • Waiting for the man. #
  • I hate myself for hating MTPR’s “Morning Classics”, but there it is. #
  • Maybe I meant cannibal rednecks. #
  • Sometimes I get the impression that I’m the only one who is concerned about the threat of redneck cannibals. #
  • Bikers, enough with the left-arm right turn signal already. #
  • RT @itsthomas “Opt out of the (stealth) behavioral advertising network dropping cookies on your machine: http://ginx.com/-pV0tz Please RT!” #
  • “It’s not… “I Twitter, therefore I am.” It’s “I Twitter because I’m afraid I ain’t.”” http://tinyurl.com/ddst6s #
  • Excited to learn that Pete Dexter is a downright prolific novelist. #
