| 15:00 | Govt blocks employee access to Wikileaks. Barn door, meet escaped horse. http://tpm.ly/dZWdVn |
| 17:07 | My packages from @thinkgeek arrived! Bacon popcorn! Bacon fizzy drink tablets! Even more silliness! |
| 17:08 | RT @billamend: Love this! RT @aedile Star Wars + Dr. Seuss = nerdgasm! http://bit.ly/fwdm9H [Major geekulitudinousness!] |

| 06:40 | Pretty satisfied with election in California, even if the rest of US not so positive. More Repug obstructionism, no doubt. |
| 06:41 | Nice to see Meg Whitman give so much to California for so little return. Wish it had been inspired by altruism, but still. |
| 07:22 | If not for the Tea Party, Repugs would likely have taken the Senate too. So have you thanked a Tea Partier for their support? |
| 10:02 | I may have to get an iPad just so I can put it in one of these cases. http://bit.ly/d8JUqi via @sandrift |
| 14:13 | Today's my last day of freedom. Off to Phoenix tomorrow for photo weekend. Tuesday morning I fly back and head to the new job. Feels odd. |
| 15:27 | RT @counternotions: If Richard Feynman applied for a job at Microsoft http://bit.ly/9sA5b8 via @hackernewsbot [Screw with the interviewer!] |
| 15:30 | Southwest just emailed to tell me my flight tomorrow has WiFi. Most excellent! |
| 16:36 | Kanye's remark was worst moment of Bush presidency? How about those 100,000 dead Iraqis? How about the nonexistent WMDs? The mind boggles. |
| 16:40 | 16 House Dems voted against extending unemployment benefits. 13 of them are now unemployed. Ironic, huh? http://bit.ly/ar9SMy |
| 16:53 | It is 80 degrees right now in Mtn View, CA. In November. Maybe not Global Warming, but sure is Local Warming. |
| 19:25 | A friend of Joseph Finder's on the DC Police says #rally4sanity estimates are way off. Figure 500k or more. http://on.fb.me/b8n7CC |

| 16:04 | Hitler was a Creationist? The Nazis burned Darwin's work? Intelligent Design must be known by the company it keeps. http://j.mp/cXhLDQ |

| 09:31 | Cool websites for fictional evil corporations, modeled after real evil corporations. http://bit.ly/9ohfdg |
| 09:34 | Off to shoot agricultural scenes in the Central Valley. Oh, the glamorous life of the self-unemployed photographer! |
| 12:51 | Eating famous pea soup at Anderson's in Santa Nella. Not sure what the big deal is. |
| 15:18 | Just stopped at Sun-Maid World Headquarters. Which is funny, since I'm not much of a raisin fan. So I got some dried peaches instead. |
| 16:28 | RT @wilw: Best. Magic card. Ever. (made by @slipstream0) http://twitpic.com/2kx22z #PAX [WHEATON!] #tbbt |
| 16:40 | What really happened to AZ Gov Brewer during the debate: http://huff.to/ddU101 |
| 18:10 | The 4 Levels of Social Entrapment. Explains everything I've failed to understand all these decades... http://bit.ly/9HmJFA |
| 18:15 | Facebook's latest security verification had me identify FB friends from their photos. Easy, except for people w/cartoons in their profiles. |
| 18:16 | Another reason, BTW, to reject friend requests from people you don't know in meatspace. |
| 18:29 | @paulandstorm And? Did you pass? |
| 19:20 | Empty restaurant with For Lease sign on a street called Prosperity. That's what they call irony. |

| 08:28 | MSFT kills planned privacy features in IE, reminding users that their needs are secondary to ad agencies. http://bit.ly/98SZvb |
| 08:30 | Wikipedia schools the FBI in the law. Hey, somebody has to. http://bit.ly/9rcpYE |
| 09:03 | Survey says women attracted to men who wear red. Sadly, so is phaser fire. http://bit.ly/d7NS6Y |

| 18:32 | Glad to see a giant like Howard Kurtz isn't wasting his journalistic credibility on the trivial. http://is.gd/e1jlx (via @ggreenwald) |
| 20:40 | Spent a nice afternoon shooting a foggy Montana de Oro State Park, followed by a pretty good Thai dinner. Now to edit some more photos. |
| 20:48 | Need a social media strategy? Neither do I. http://bit.ly/aUNntJ |
| 20:53 | I could almost feel sorry for Repugs, even if they brought this on themselves. He who sups with the devil and all that. http://bit.ly/9LjmfZ |

| 10:56 | Every time the mainstream media refuses to call waterboarding torture, a kitten dies. I mean you, NYT & NPR. http://bit.ly/bKBEOO |
| 11:43 | RT @neilhimself: If they outlaw Nutella, only outlaws will have Nutella. http://bit.ly/bnrYjt |
| 14:56 | More time with my Nikon D80 & Lensbaby. Possibly less crappy pictures than yesterday's. |
| 19:30 | The Swedish Chef makes Pöpcørn. I love Pöpcørn! With closed captioning! http://bit.ly/c5Cpeb |
| 21:42 | Somebody not too far away is fireworking in earnest. Lots of distant booms. |

| 14:52 | Taking a break in Napa & Sonoma this gloriously cloudy day. How's your Thursday going? |
| 18:40 | RT @annvosspeterson: George W Bush defending torture again? Timing is suspicious. I'll bet he's just promoting @barryeisler's upcoming book. |
| 20:20 | Charles Krauthammer announces that no one's starving in Gaza. Really? What kind of cockamamie blockade is Israel running here? |
| 21:19 | Cool. I can use the cash. http://xkcd.com/749/ |
| 23:50 | RT @JohnFugelsang: Sarah Palin officially blames environmentalists for BP spill. That's like blaming smart people for Sarah Palin. |

| 04:11 | @scapersuse Safe travels. Where are you headed? |
| 06:16 | Breakfast before I head southwest to Memphis. I love cafe breakfasts when I'm on the road. |
| 06:58 | Indiana in my taillights. Hello, Illinois. |
| 09:09 | I got 39 images accepted to @shutterstock today! Check out my gallery here: http://tinyurl.com/ltgjp5 |
| 11:06 | Just left Illinois for Missouri. Pretty bridge across the Mississippi. No place to stop, alas. |
| 11:23 | FAULT LINE, out in paper for only six days, already went back for 2nd printing. /via @barryeisler [It's the author photo.] |
| 12:39 | Just entered Arkansas, state #44 and my fifth of the trip. |
| 14:04 | Just arrived in Memphis. Sky is blue and the rivers seem to be keeping within their banks. Tennessee is my sixth state of the trip. |
| 14:05 | RT @ConanOBrien: Through the desert on my way to Reno, I passed an establishment called "Shady Ladies". Either a brothel or a tree nursery. |
| 14:08 | They have Krystal in Memphis. That's like White Castle with a suthin' accent. Later maybe; tonight's gotta be barbecue. |
| 16:12 | At the King's Palace Cafe on Beale. Do I get the Cajun Combo? Or the ribs? I'm so conflicted! |
| 20:03 | I went with the Cajun. It was good. http://yfrog.com/9ggg1cj |

| 08:19 | The most beautiful subway pictures you'll ever see. And suddenly I'm dying to travel again. http://bit.ly/9NMilJ |
| 08:27 | Vatican priest compares the grief they're getting over abuse coverup to anti-semitism. Talk about denial. http://huff.to/aaro4p |

| 11:14 | Big line in front of Palo Alto Apple Store. Even a news truck! What's going on? |

| 07:46 | @alwayscoffee I'm told it's acceptable behavior and not at all tacky to pick up sushi with your hands. Not that I'd ever do such a thing. |
| 10:09 | Now at a new address (but just as freaky): http://trololololololololololo.com/ |
| 11:52 | @ebertchicago Repugs believe in capitalism. Businesses will do the right thing if nobody tries to control them. What's right is negotiable. |
| 13:17 | A day after a real Citibank credit card alert, I get a Citibank alert that's really a phishing attempt. Quite the coincidence, isn't it? |
| 15:22 | RT @ebertchicago: I dunno know what it is, but I want me some. http://j.mp/c37VJs [Me too. Wow.] |
| 15:48 | @renatojr_rj Good flight; I'll see you on Saturday! |
| 18:00 | RT @barryeisler: Matthew Alexander eviscerates cretin Marc Thiessen in Slate: http://bit.ly/d0ZEfR [Horrifying. And so well deserved.] |
| 18:31 | @wilw You dare torture me with your unannounced cities? From hell's heart I stab at thee, WHEATON!!!! |
| 20:30 | RT @TweetsofOld: Sausage rolls, in suggestive shapes, can now be seen in the shop windows. KY1883 [How suggestive, I wonder.] |
| 21:28 | I can't believe nobody in the Bay Area sells instant grits. Even the Quaker Oats site can't find anybody. What's the matter with you people? |
| 22:12 | Old school visual effects. No Photoshop here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nv6v/4182194550/in/photostream/ |

| 07:46 | @dorumon_fanatic Have you taken the iPod to an Apple Store? It's close enough to warranty that they may be able to help. |
