• VMWare Fusion 4 is out. Didn't think I cared until I saw the magic word called encryption. About time. http://t.co/JDMXED2 #
• Google Flight Search finally launched. Now I just need to go somewhere. http://t.co/micYrXg #
• The more I research the hiring of a sysadmin for next year the more I realize the world defines me as a CIO. Still not going to wear a tie. #
• 12 years ago I should have partnered with the guy who coded our intranet we designed and retired to sell it. Hmm, maybe I still will. #
• Chris Farley may have been re-incarnated in this guy describing a car crash. http://t.co/0tn1Deig #
• Meguire's paint cleaner removes soot and scorch marks from vinyl wraps. Good to know. http://t.co/Bqv3st5J #

• Made the trailer less crappy and more usable. That's my sales pitch on the for sale sign. http://t.co/FcwoPQn #
• Based on the number of people who have asked me if I will be there, apparently I represent one of the few people not going to WGI tomorrow. #
• Reporting a death toll over 20! …Really? There would have been just as many accidental deaths without Irene. They call it statistics. #

• Finally got off my arse and posted something from the DSM\Evo Shootout. http://t.co/FIERTNK #
• Damn cool dash lights on the boat. Would still rather have more daylight to play. http://t.co/nY8I83M #
• I didn't realize Starz was bailing from Netflix streaming. I had ditched the streaming out of spite. #
• Far too warm out to be shoveling stone. Had to call in the equipment borrowing favor. http://t.co/7k0FKYg #

• Considering taking a Yugo next year for One Lap. It survived 1988. http://t.co/rJl201r #
• Looking to host hurricane evacuees. Preference to people who can apply stain, run a mower, install gutters and build shelving while here. #
• Another sign of how far behind my summer projects are, just now coating the teak patio table. http://t.co/YGTm7FB #
• Evacuate to safety or remain to gain financial independence from a YouTube syndication of a natural disaster. Tough decisions these days. #
• Teak table came out great. Odds of me finishing the second one, zero. Anybody need the un-finished patio table? http://t.co/ZsCyQvS #
• Amazing first hand photo of predicted flooding in NYC paying no resemblance to Hollywood blockbusters. http://t.co/ZsT9onO #
• Amazing first hand photo of predicted flooding in NYC paying no resemblance to Hollywood blockbusters. http://t.co/jb1zcAm #

• Traveling with somebody who doesn't have an EZPass. +1 nut punch owed. #

• AT&T needs to prioritize and place faster cell service around all race tracks in the United States. #
• One last photo stop before leaving Ohio. Just because. http://t.co/piOjRQ6 #

• Amazing how they can turn anything into a medical study to make it sound ground breaking. Fat guys don't get any action. http://t.co/Bv6GUWX #
• The option to have a recovery disk would have been useful before the upgrade Apple. http://t.co/4mIayqV #
• Lucky 7s in the 7 year old Subaru. http://t.co/7slTtvC #
• Apparently changing the oil in the boat is for people with a lot of time on their hands. 15w40 through a 3/8" hose. http://t.co/WJDAGJ8 #
• Facebook managed to bypass the fact mobile sync was disabled and still grabbed my numbers. How to remove. http://t.co/dluLTuu #
• Just to show that a pretty website doesn't mean shit without customer service. Never ordering from marine-products.com again for ski gear. #
• They need a London looters request line. I would think an Olympic torch would look killer out on the barn. #

• Rounding off the series of everything I own is breaking.. the air conditioning. http://t.co/oQcX6VP #
• The HVAC industry is almost as layered with BS as the auto industry. This must be what it is like for people seeking car repair. #

• Tonight involves a broken Nautique, a case of beer, supermodels, a talking chimpanzee and unicorns. Ok, some of those. http://t.co/yYNTV1G #
• Nothing confuses a parts counter more than telling them you don't have a car to reference. http://t.co/C0uA0fn #
• Need the final head bolt torque for a GM 5.7 vortec cast head. Only info missing in our plan. #
• That my friends is a burnt exhaust valve in cylinder 2 of the Nautique PCM motor. http://t.co/Alyl7BS #
• Always have a healthy donor on hand before performing surgery. http://t.co/ft0r49U #
• It was a good night. The boat was running in the driveway at 6:15 and would have made the launch if the exhaust manifold gasket held. #
• Resorting to hand filing my exhaust manifold flanges to get back on the water. http://t.co/rAtK0Fx #
• Water test successful. Boat is once again cleared to remove arms from sockets. http://t.co/r716g2A #

• Hail to the king, baby…
  No really, hail.
  Bonus if you actually get the movie quote. http://t.co/zmrvsbI #

• I need to find a way to share videos of my morning commute, without acting as evidence of potential speed violations. http://t.co/nuiqfNC #
• Spent the morning listening to NY state both pitch and make excuses for their new software. They are so proud yet so naive. #

• How many backpacks I would have saved without all of those books. Amazon kindle rentals for school books, brilliant. http://cnet.co/p7hj1q #
• Missing ski nite to fix for an Avaya phone system which should have been updated years ago fucking sucks. Odds it will happen again? Zero #
• I am not excited that I have to use the app store to obtain Lion. #
• In the age of increasing bandwidth caps it seems irresponsible or even naive for Apple to only distribute their 3.74Gb OS update online. #
• Made the mistake of looking how much my macbook pro still sells for. #
• Tomorrow we deploy to pickup the car from Magnus. Time to prep the truck and trailer for extraction. http://t.co/nlxFLq4 #
• Can I petition to keep Google Labs open? Should be the place to roll out anything new before launching it on everybody. http://t.co/N2MIFzi #
• Evening extraction from Canada was exhausting but successful. The car is home. http://t.co/oCXOTgp #
• I wish more things were open at 5am. Especially when I get put into a rain delay for skiing. #

• Forcing old addictions into the schedule and water skiing before work. http://t.co/CVwe7tp #
