| 08:43 | Publisher Houghton Mifflin screws photographers, shows contempt for the law. How'd they feel if their work was stolen? http://bit.ly/g0kGr1 |

| 10:51 | @alwayscoffee @kylecassidy I'd try connecting to another computer. Or a program like http://bit.ly/aHEQi3 on Windows to recover files. |
| 18:20 | Just because we can, does that mean we should? http://bit.ly/aME5yD |

| 09:27 | Karl Rove's momentary lapse into honesty & integrity now over. You can all relax now. http://bit.ly/c8s0c2 |
| 09:45 | According to @billprady, supposed to remind you of #bigbangtheory minimarathon tonight & season premiere next Thursday. Okay, that's done. |

| 17:14 | @SuzyMassey Oh no! What did you do? |
| 17:18 | Only ten people stupid enough to be on line 1 1/4 hours before the doors open. Oh, and me #w00tstock |
| 18:02 | Saw @donttrythis come by. We waved. He waved. #w00tstock |
| 18:06 | The line grows. #w00tstock http://plixi.com/p/45504808 |

| 03:28 | God, it's early. On my way to Oakland Airport and new adventures. |
| 05:49 | At the gate, a little over an hour before my flight. Thanks for the free WiFi, Oakland. |
| 08:47 | Getting my rental car, and then to find the bright light of Moab. |
| 13:54 | I'd forgotten how much I enjoy driving through the desert. Need to do it more often. |
| 14:43 | Was that thunder? Or an explosion? Jeepers. |
| 16:05 | Just watched our 48 Hour Film Project entry. Pretty good, although I don't think I'll quit my day job. Or I wouldn't if I had one. |
| 18:36 | Joe Scarborough watches his party move further from him and, I'd argue, any sense of honor. http://bit.ly/byBa3V |

| 04:53 | Up way too early. Even more way too than usual. Flying this morning. |
| 06:31 | At the gate at SJC, enjoying free WiFi. Next stop: Ontario. (The one in California.) |
| 06:34 | Following @Tim_Matheson because he asked so pathetically. |
| 07:07 | Restroom at SJC has two handicapped stalls & 1 regular size. Which answera the question about use of handicapped stalls, don't you think? |
| 07:09 | BTW, been a while since I've been to SJC. Everything's changed, including Southwest's terminal move. I like it. |
| 08:35 | Making pretty backgrounds for my iPhone with the Magic Artist app. http://twitpic.com/25tdnu |

| 09:55 | On the road again with Homer the GPS. Headed to Joshua Tree to commit acts of photography. But first, steak & eggs @ Bob's Big Boy. |
| 14:35 | Holy shit! http://twitpic.com/25waob |
| 18:54 | For the record, Glenn Beck: this particular Jew didn't kill Jesus, nor does he know anyone who did. Never met the man, assuming he existed. |
| 18:58 | After rescuing photos for a friend, had to do the same for myself. oday's Joshua Tree shots vanished but are back. Thank you, PhotoRescue. |
| 19:15 | Everything's better with bacon, including movies. http://j.mp/9YOsUp (Via @ebertchicago) |

| 09:05 | Weird text msg claiming to be from AT&T. Must be a scam; AT&T wouldn't do such a thing. Or couldn't. One of those. |

| 10:41 | Post excoriating the president of the Catholic League includes an ad for Scientology. My irony meter is pegged. http://huff.to/9Vtyk0 |
| 12:09 | RT @petersagal: Vote for Carl! Now! Everybody! http://tinyurl.com/2589l8v [As a Wait Wait fan, how could I not?] |
| 14:29 | Seriously, Nokia. Could you possibly have made this phone uglier? http://bit.ly/aGXSvQ |
| 15:48 | Via @lomara, I am suddenly nostalgic for the days of vinyl. Well, except for the sound quality. http://bit.ly/afyhfl |
| 15:49 | The link in my last post include a link to the darker side of vinyl: http://bit.ly/bMemLI |

| 15:47 | Yesterday I shot cannons, which isn't like shooting Canons, which I'd never do. This morning I shot flowers. Much quieter than cannons. |
| 15:51 | @nicoleisbetter You know, you coulda warned a guy. I can't unsee that. |
| 16:29 | *sigh* Model crisis means no photography tonight. Anyone wanna take bets on tomorrow's shoot? |
| 17:49 | Drowning my sorrows in a little prosecco, Caesar salad and pizza fradiavola. Apologies for any misspellings, but I'm too sad to check. |
| 18:22 | @scapersuse Oh, just a canceled shoot, one that involved some expense. It happens. (Fradiavola is devil's wife. Think spicy.) |

| 08:10 | Jon Stewart to Fox News: "I've said it before & I'll say it again: go fuck yourselves." |
| 10:43 | @BONESonFOX Gotta be Robert Englund as the incredibly creepy janitor. Figures he'd be Bones's best/only friend in HS. |
| 14:21 | In the studio, shooting & helping my friend Bill with his documentary. Rough way to spend a Friday. |
| 17:55 | Wanna understand Tea Partiers? This is all you need to know. http://bit.ly/ab3agb |
| 17:56 | If Apple's a monopoly or becomes one, it's not Microsoft and never will be. http://bit.ly/dgzzB7 |
| 17:59 | Really, Mike? RIM CEO says users are abandoning touch screen devices like the iPhone & iPad. http://bit.ly/cksaoz |
| 22:19 | Listen to @ebertchicago explain why video games are not and can never be art. His argument compels. http://bit.ly/8ZZ5ut |

| 07:59 | Virginia Thomas's Tea Party Lite group uses stock photos of minorities. Easier than appealing to real ones, I guess. http://bit.ly/cvsF6B |
| 13:47 | RT @barryeisler: RT @tyler_neusch: My work suffering due to @barryeisler's Fault Line. I can't put it down. [Crazy glue on the pages?] |
| 15:20 | Interesting article about why we ignore IT security advice about passwords and such, and why we're right to do so. http://bit.ly/di7xYW |
| 15:24 | Not fair! There's a sarcasm symbol for Windows, but not for Mac. We can be sarcastic too! Really! http://bit.ly/6XTC0N |
| 15:54 | RT @TweetsofOld: Rochester, the flower city, has degenerated, and is now known as the beer city. NY1879 [And pretty lousy beer at that.] |
| 16:20 | @sandrift No fooling. SGI was the worst; their internal apps assigned you four random words as your password, & changed them every 3 months. |
| 19:28 | Karl Rove's book the victim of a wonderfully Rovian attack ad. Trust me; you'll love it. http://bit.ly/9RrS2O |
| 22:28 | Funny to see Corner Gas's Lacey on tonight's NCIS. But I'm heartbroken that Dog River is no more. |
| 23:02 | @ebertchicago No, if you were Kevin Bacon, your Bacon number would be zero. Ones are people who've worked with him. |

| 05:53 | 15 unfortunately placed ads. Wonder how many of these were intentional... http://bit.ly/6Tfsw |
| 08:05 | Via @barryeisler, a soldier's view of why repealing DADT is no big deal. Honest, funny and smart: http://bit.ly/aehs5O |
| 09:07 | @ScaperSuse I wondered why I hadn't seen you online, Suse. Glad it's just your computer that's out of action and not you. |
| 09:23 | Why you should never turn your back on your refrigerator, a cautionary tale for children: http://bit.ly/ck5w5l |
| 14:08 | @JustaSunGod I set up my Citibank card with autopay years ago to deal with just such situations. I hate paying fees I could have avoided! |
| 14:16 | Why the iPad may totally kick butt: http://bit.ly/cHhAnX (Most software designed by people who think Emacs is a reasonable user interface.) |
| 14:22 | A comparison between the iPhone & Windows Phone 7. Am I biased in thinking WP7 got it all wrong? http://bit.ly/cd689Y |
| 14:37 | From Ouray, Colorado, an object lesson in the importance of punctuation: http://yfrog.com/1esuvkj |
| 14:39 | It's times like this that we wish web designers were an endangered species (as in, I'd like to endanger a few myself). http://bit.ly/dg2KrD |
| 15:43 | RT @maddow: Admiral Mullen @thejointstaff on "what's really going on at the deck plates" http://is.gd/8xu5W |
| 19:33 | What is it about trains that fires the imagination? Is it just boys and our toys or is there more to it? http://bit.ly/dnuss2 |
