| 11:48 | The sweetest eulogy ever written, for Steve Jobs by his sister: http://t.co/u2nJlDDH via @cshweitz |
| 16:54 | @barryeisler Was "To arrive. To survive." taken? |
| 19:15 | @Saschakeet @barryeisler I thought it was "Delta gets you there. Eventually." |

| 08:53 | Tea Baggers want Bachmann to quit race & leave terrifying asshole slot to Rick Perry. But she's prettier! http://t.co/flaUPc0F |
| 23:17 | Back from my photo shoot. The model is 7 1/2 months pregnant, a first for me. More photos to edit... |

| 07:17 | Our hotel suite for the Shootout was so full of junk all weekend. Now it feels empty. Will be really empty when I pack up the car and go. |
| 08:23 | Saying goodbye to the view. http://t.co/M9K46Rqp |
| 11:38 | Border checkpoint waved me through. Guess I don't look Mexican today. |
| 11:42 | Just crossed into California. Funny that the scene changes so much on this side of the Colorado. |
| 13:52 | High winds through the desert make for an exciting drive. |
| 18:27 | Bad news: motel WiFi's broken. Good news: 3G tethering here is great, & twice as fast as my DSL at home. Jeeze, AT&T. |

| 06:22 | The Shootout is done. But two more shoots at my hotel today before I start the drive home tomorrow morning. |
| 18:05 | Done with all my Arizona shoots. Take my AZ roomie to the airport tonight, and start the drive home tomorrow morning. |

| 17:31 | Quote from my photographer friend, Bill: "She was hotter on the bottom than on her face." Context is for sissies. |
| 21:06 | Second day of my Arizona Shootout weekend is done. 1150 pictures so far. We're gonna need a bigger disk. |

| 08:37 | Funny how @StephenAtHome Colbert's conservative persona fell away when interviewing Harry Belafonte. Stephen was too delighted to pretend. |
| 16:36 | Tried Siri at the Apple Store today. I asked about pizza places, and it gave me a bunch. Asked where I could buy a PC and it got confused. |
| 18:25 | Herman Cain's messiah can be yours too. It's only common sense! http://t.co/jYSbbSaT |
| 18:30 | The evolution of iPhone photos. Makes me want a 4S even more. Must resist... http://t.co/87A9nZIL |

| 13:45 | Rush Limbaugh likes rapists and murderers when they invoke God in their name. What a guy. http://t.co/dEYtVAnD |
| 16:46 | I think we just found one lucky pastor. http://t.co/1hQwXEIu |
| 16:58 | Lemony Snicket explains what the Occupy Wall Street shouting is about. And a good job he does too. http://t.co/7TJtGRwP |
| 16:59 | You can tell I have an outdoor model shoot coming up. I'm charging up all my batteries, and not just the ones in the camera. |
| 18:25 | Finally figured out my iPhone sync problem with iOS 5. It's the ringtone install app's fault. Got my ringtones synced too! |
| 21:43 | Rob Enderle makes a living pooping out "analysis" like this? The world is doomed. http://t.co/xQn8Ut31 |

| 07:22 | Reminder to self: stay the hell away from Apple Stores today. Also from any mall that has an Apple Store. |
| 09:44 | RT @hensoncompany: In case you missed it, new #Muppets trailer! http://t.co/Y9fAAo8G (via @MuppetsStudio) [Can't wait to see!] |
| 09:50 | Had to wipe & restore my iPhone, but it's running iOS 5 and everything is synced again. A problem: photos now in name order, not time shot. |
| 10:24 | Call from Citibank. Data breach means my card number is in the wild. Get to learn a new # & notify lots of merchants. Joy. |
| 12:41 | @MsCaliLogan I'm going to have to stop into a Target or Walmart and get a copy. I guess you're famous; I'm just near famous! |
| 12:51 | Mormon Church touts poll saying 2/3 of US opposed to gay marriage. Funny that every other poll says the opposite. http://t.co/QHyO2oAo |
| 12:54 | Fox dipshit admits they should have "clarified" their story on Obama apology to Japan. "Clarify" meaning it's a lie. http://t.co/5m4ihnTS |
| 22:41 | Debugging a major tech meltdown. TiVO, Blu-Ray, AV receiver all failing. AppleTV & cable still okay. Rebooted the TV & now it's back! |
| 23:03 | Debugging my HDTV reminds me of why I was a software guy. And why I haven't done any serious debugging in a while. |
| 23:05 | Today's big lesson: before you start rewiring, try power cycling everything. It's quicker, easier and works surprisingly often. |

| 10:04 | How are you spending your Thursday? http://t.co/XttZ4Abd |
| 10:09 | @MsCaliLogan Friends don't let friends shoot Canon. Just saying'. |
| 10:33 | @MsCaliLogan Dunno. I'd have to see the card to recognize the pose. But it could be. |
| 10:34 | @MsCaliLogan I've heard a lot of good things about Nikon's D7000. Smallish, light, but great photos and video. |
| 10:39 | If it's any consolation, today will be a scorcher in Napa. Not consoled? Sorry about that. |
| 13:49 | @MsCaliLogan Yeah, I bet that's one of mine. I had no idea. |

| 07:53 | Did anybody else find Gumby just a little bit creepy? Happy 90th to Art Clokey anyway. http://t.co/osD31n8m |
| 10:53 | Thus spake @VictoriaDahl: "I'm immature, not sick." How can I improve on that? |
| 11:32 | Taking forever to download Mac OS X Lion update. And then I have to get iOS 5. Twice, for iPhone and iPad. Grumble... |
| 21:49 | Just finished a 4 hour marathon shoot with the lovely Isabella, a graduate student at my alma mater. Such fun. |

| 08:42 | Harry McCracken on why the Open Source freetards' attacks on Steve Jobs and Apple are offensive nonsense: http://t.co/tpAKss6I |
| 11:04 | Stupid Yahoo! If I ask about a movie, why do you keep showing me Los Angeles theaters? No wonder I never use you! |
| 12:40 | "A long time admirer thinks highly of you." A tautological fortune cookie! |
| 13:24 | I had an email from a former coworker. Never hear from him unless he wants something. And so it was this time, although I was no help. |
| 18:02 | In what kind of world does a show about the Playboy Club get canceled before a game show called America's Next Republican Candidate? |
| 20:51 | Did Rick Perry really place the American Revolution in the 16th Century? Wow, what a maroon. |
| 21:05 | @tartqueen Really. http://t.co/Asuo2pKG |

| 11:17 | @alwayscoffee I've been drinking iced tea unsweetened for so long, I'm surprised when it tastes any other way. |
| 11:51 | @alwayscoffee It takes some getting used to, like black coffee. I like iced coffee unsweetened too. |
| 12:08 | @paulandstorm Radio Shack arrived too late to grab me. The Lafayette Radio Electronics catalogue was my dream book. http://t.co/0fQHmSUB |
| 13:22 | @alwayscoffee And suddenly you are dead to me. And yet still devastatingly attractive, which worries me a bit. |
| 22:40 | Portrait session tonight, where we were both the photographers and the models. I'm thinking the red feather boa may have been a poor choice. |

| 10:39 | RT @TheMacalope: Is Joe Wilcox really this stupid or is he just willfully obtuse? http://t.co/pefQNvBE (via @markbyrn) [I vote for obtuse.] |
| 12:08 | Thanks to @TheMacalope for raging against the dying of Steve Jobs' light, and the asshats who don't get why we mourn. http://t.co/P4yA5Qif |
| 20:51 | Today I met a guy who took a class with Ansel Adams. Cost him $15. Is it okay if I hate him just a little? |

| 12:56 | @VictoriaDahl Intimidating? You're one of the least intimidating people I know! |
| 15:48 | @VictoriaDahl Better to be the woodpecker than the tree. |
| 18:11 | Michele Bachmann addresses a standing room only crowd, but only if you believe her press release. PR people never lie. http://t.co/eAydOZmM |
| 21:16 | RT @BonesMcCoy: 99% of my hyposprays go to treating 1% of Red Shirts. #OccupySickBay [Those poor Red Shirts...] |

| 08:59 | Gizmodo's Brian Lam regrets screwing Steve and Apple over the stolen iPhone 4 prototype. http://t.co/m1th5ZzN |
| 10:21 | I don't have facts to back this up, but I'm convinced Herman Cain is a goatfucker. Or maybe a goatfuckee. One of those. http://t.co/H5cn38a2 |
| 12:34 | Weird to think we have the NRA to thank for stricter gun laws. Not weird to hope they choke on it. http://t.co/10SLqx4i |

| 07:15 | Monty Python's Flying Circus first aired 42 years ago today. Seems a fitting way to acknowledge two of my favorite franchises. |
| 07:31 | Internet law forces closure of Wikipedia in Italy. More proof that Italian lawmakers are batshit insane. http://t.co/AFjUfabl |
| 11:28 | Via @thinkgeek, it's eat or be eaten. My vote is to eat! http://t.co/uLoo2k9u |
| 12:48 | When a robocall claims to be from Credit Card Services, and doesn't identify *which* credit card that is, I can hang up with confidence. |
| 15:03 | Hitler's angry again, this time over the iPhone 5. http://t.co/MYBh7NeT |
| 15:18 | Sarah Palin announces she isn't running in 2012. Is anybody surprised? Does anybody care? |
| 16:42 | Is it true? Is Steve Jobs really gone? |
| 16:53 | I thought his first success was a fluke. Thanks, Steve, for proving me wrong. We won't see your like again. http://t.co/2QXfpSJ1 |
| 17:14 | RT @lomara: Check out this tribute to Steve Jobs from @BoingBoing http://t.co/Hxnr8R0Y [I'm getting all nostalgic 'n stuf.] |

| 09:07 | RT @TheDailyShow: #TDSBreakingNews iPhone 4 users one hour away from looking at their phones in shameful disgust. [It's twoo! It's twoo!] |
| 09:18 | And still I wonder: does Michele Bachmann *know* she's making shit up? http://t.co/GPNsMBkH |
| 09:55 | Stunning case before the Supremes, and even more evidence that Scalia's a world class dick: http://t.co/qcqJe8i1 |
| 10:28 | Reading tweets and posts about the iPhone announcement. The natives are getting restless... |
| 14:47 | No iPhone 5, just a measly little 4S. And yet I want one! It's faster, and 64GB will hold my whole iTunes library. Darn you, Apple! |
| 15:30 | @KobeATL It does support both GSM (AT&T & Europe) and CDMA (Verizon, Sprint, etc.) in one phone. Dunno how the carriers'll handle roaming. |
| 16:11 | @KiwiSpyGirl Minor? More than twice as fast, double the max storage, better antennas, supports two different networks, much better camera. |
| 16:12 | @KiwiSpyGirl Oh, and some magical voice command stuff that only works on the new phone. Plus all the goodies in iOS 5. I'm excited. |
| 16:13 | @KiwiSpyGirl Yep. 16/32/64GB. |
| 16:17 | Grr... Went to AT&T site. It said I may be eligible for an upgrade. And so I am, at FULL PRICE. So no new iPhone for me, at least until Feb. |
| 16:34 | RT @TheMacalope: Apple delivers Star Trek-level voice technology, pundits complain about the shape of the box it comes in. [Computer!] |

| 07:18 | Shooting with a new model this afternoon. First model shoot in two weeks; do I still remember how? |
| 09:55 | If an article's title asks a question, the answer is invariably "no". Besides, you're comparing phones & tablets. http://t.co/x4NBfP03 |
| 11:53 | I've read a lot about the al-Awlaki killing, but @joshtmp's piece is the first that aligns with my own thoughts. http://t.co/fgOl7L7b |
| 19:47 | Nothing I like better is climbing long stairways in the rain, carrying my camera and lighting gear. Good thing the shoot was indoors. |

| 08:21 | Birthday party for a blogger friend last night involved beer and Rock Band. He has understanding neighbors. |
| 09:14 | NYTimes publishes crap editorial about neurology of iPhone love. Real neurologists are horrified. http://t.co/oXzcX8dL |
| 14:08 | @paulandstorm I like anchovies. But not, I grant, when I'm expecting ice cream. |
| 19:29 | Made an executive decision and bought a label printer, since that's all I used my color printer for. It was *really* cheap, another feature. |
| 20:47 | Weird. Started watching a DVD of a favorite old movie from the 50s called World Without End. I had no idea it was in color! |

| 07:28 | @alwayscoffee I'm going to enjoy that image of you snuggling under a blanket *all* morning. |
| 09:40 | RT @TheTweetOfGod: If ignorance is bliss, why is the Tea Party so unhappy? [It's a mystery, alright.] |
| 11:02 | Printer shopping. Best Buy was a bust, Fry's a failure. Will OfficeMax do any better, or will Amazon prevail? |

| 11:54 | @alwayscoffee Two words. I've never seen it as one word, at least nowhere I'd trust. |
| 14:20 | Bought a replacement Mac Mini a couple of weeks ago. Finally installed it. Data migration from the old Mini's gonna take a while... |
| 14:21 | RT @wilw: Very important clarification: Listening to @RUSHTHEBAND is awesome, not Rush the jackass talk radio douchebag assclown. [Whew!] |
| 15:20 | RT @CraigyFerg: “@NeliasBitch: @CraigyFerg Wilford Brimley spotted in SF? http://t.co/rE4NXmUt” What the hell? [Did not need to see that.] |
| 19:46 | New Mac Mini is up and running. Sadly, my ancient Canon color printer isn't supported. Should I replace, or just get a label printer? |
