| 12:03 | Here's a shocker: Silicon Valley is biased against the not-young. I'm stunned to be employed. http://t.co/au6zJ8qT |
| 13:40 | Thanks for the cell data warning, AT&T. But at 65% of quota on the last day of my billing cycle, forgive me if I don't panic too much. |
| 22:34 | @markusweimer I admit nothing. |

| 08:29 | Starting out to be a bad week. How can I tell? This morning the hot water is freezing cold. Not an auspicious start to the day. |
| 08:46 | Eliminate the Iowa Straw Poll? How else will Michele Bachmann get the national attention she so richly, umm... http://t.co/O8Bxkn7m |
| 14:59 | The benefit of a short commute: went home at lunch, the hot water was hot, and I got the shower I missed this morning. Day's improving. |

| 14:13 | Quite possibly the best remembrance of Larry Hagman. What an amazingly good guy. http://t.co/ORnsJwtO |
| 16:07 | Of course it's the unions who are to blame when greedy, incompetent management destroys a company. http://t.co/mdRb38zu |

| 21:49 | Watching BIlly Connelly's Route 66 on Netflix Instant. I love the Mother Road almost as much as he does. http://t.co/fTx2SdJ1 |

| 06:41 | Repug feeling a cold wind from the left? http://t.co/SvF5xHoF |
| 13:35 | Try to imagine this scene with Mitt & a couple of his campaign volunteers. Go on, just try. http://t.co/sYULl3yP |
| 15:57 | If you're not part of the solution (i.e. you shop at Walmart), you're part of the problem. I'm not part of the problem. http://t.co/ZGEvQxex |
| 16:56 | Directing Repugs to Canada? What did Canada ever do to deserve that? http://t.co/YjD80LNE |
| 17:07 | @scapersuse Assuming of course we'd be willing to take them back. I know how I'd vote. |

| 06:49 | Through Security for my flight home. Almost two hours to kill. A Bloody Mary is helping. |
| 09:07 | Web surfing miles above the ground? Still not old. |

| 06:59 | Rental car returned. On my way to the terminal. Today's destination is Seattle. Another user group talk. |
| 12:45 | When did SEA take it's rental cars offsite? One more airport that officially sucks. |
| 21:25 | Small crowd at tonight's Java talk. No surprise so close to the holiday. Still, the folks who were there seemed to enjoy themselves. |

| 09:38 | @MagdaSzubanski Definitely a Furlow fan. Although I loved you in Babe and the few eps of Kath & Kim I've seen. |
| 11:25 | A fine shoot this morning, a good cheap Thai lunch, and now ready for shoot #2. Today's starting well. |
| 20:38 | Today's final tally: six hours shooting three amazing models, followed by a Cajun dinner with model #3. All in all, a pretty fine day. |

| 20:19 | Stood up for a photo shoot tonight. My fault I suppose for expecting responsible behavior from a young model. Hurts just the same. |

| 18:22 | There is no drama like model drama. As a photographer, I know this to be true. |

| 07:58 | Today's lesson: carrying studio lights through Security in Salt Lake is an exercise in frustration. Guess they don't get photographers much. |
| 12:16 | Arrived in Phoenix. No more flights until Tuesday! |

| 06:57 | Dawdling at my laptop when I should be getting ready. First flight in three hours & change. |
| 08:54 | Through security, breakfasted, and at my gate. Settling down to a little work before boarding time. |
| 09:31 | Repugs mad at Mitt for bigot asshattery? Now they're mad? Where were they during the campaign? (Yeah, it's rhetorical.) http://t.co/xHx37nYz |
| 11:57 | First flight landed on time in Vegas. Now waiting for flight #2. |
| 12:27 | Here I go, tempting fate: on flight #2, everything's on time. Pretty easy travel today. |
| 14:43 | Aside from a teeny incident with our bags coming out on a carousel that didn't have our flight number, that was one easy travel day. |
| 19:50 | In case you were wondering, my Java talk in Salt Lake kicked butt. Talked for an hour, plus 1/2 hour of questions. |

| 07:46 | Good news: my Einstein strobes fit into my carry-on bag. See you soon, Phoenix; acts of photography to follow! |
| 13:03 | Just started listening to @kevinpollak's new book. Can see I won't be getting much work done. Funny stuff! |
| 15:42 | Life is so much better when you're delusional, Jill Kelley edition. http://t.co/ELcrTyeD |
| 17:18 | Some jokes write themselves: Owner of topless carwash objects to Democratic values, backs Alabama secession. http://t.co/8ZFRSi9W |
| 21:01 | The NY Times tells Guy Fieri his new restaurant sucks. Really really sucks. http://t.co/QBaT0xqE |
| 21:07 | Just bought a ticket to see @iamjohnoliver on New Years Eve Eve. 2013 will be such a letdown after that. |

| 18:51 | In my seat at Flint Center to see The Monkees. Row H! |
| 21:58 | Monkees concert was great. The audience, not so much. Like the guy in Row F who had to give a standing ovation every damn song. |
| 22:00 | And the jerk in Row G holding his camera in the air to capture the concert. And block my view, as well as a bunch of others. |

| 06:42 | I got my first taste of crap UK newspapers when I was 25. They've only gotten worse since then. http://t.co/1b1LxaPG |
| 10:06 | @petersagal My votes would be for From Russia With Love, followed by Dr. No. Connery in his prime. |
| 10:11 | So Florida finally declared a winner, long after the rest of us stopped caring. Now they know how Californians feel every four years. |

| 05:59 | Election day. Hoping my Twitter & RSS feeds ease off considerably after today. Not all I'm hoping for today, but still. |
| 07:30 | There's a line at my local polling station. First time that's happened. |
| 07:54 | If they give me five stickers, does that mean I get to vote four more times? |
| 08:14 | Poll worker apologized for delay & thanked us for our patience. What's a few minutes, especially given what other places are dealing with? |
| 08:59 | @TheLewisBlack Voted in Mountain View, California. Forgive the self-portrait. http://t.co/uOFVaaqe |
| 09:01 | RT @petersagal: I wasn't gonna bother, but a bunch of celebrities on twitter said I had to http://t.co/SHSXhMtl [Always obey celebrities.] |
| 11:57 | Wait! #CactoidJim3012 was on the ballot? Is it too late for me to change my vote? @ThrillingAdv |
| 20:46 | Watching Colbert looking mock-upset at Obama's victory is just so sweet. As if the victory itself isn't enough. |
| 20:51 | RT @Lomara: Does tonight's election results mean I never have to see that douchey Paul Ryan workout photo ever again? [We can only hope.] |
| 20:55 | RT @feliciaday: 18 women senators in Jan?! That is truly awesome. #USA [Not enough.] |

| 14:43 | Harry Reid was right after all. Mitt avoided paying any taxes at all for years. http://t.co/u7xFvOeZ |
| 17:26 | @stephenfry Some of us appreciate your opinions. I certainly do. |
| 19:31 | Every time you think you've seen the limits to the Romney campaign's insensitivity, they surprise you. http://t.co/nzk982rF |
| 20:17 | Okay, Apple, explain the logic of iPhone and iOS Photos showing my pictures in different orders. One's creation time, the other's mod time. |

| 09:24 | Fun night distributing sweets in Los Altos last night. Glad I brought an emergency supply; we went through most everything we had. |
| 10:56 | After #sandy, it's clear to all that Mitt calling FEMA immoral is itself immoral. Even Mitt can see that. http://t.co/RTCVaXHe |
| 20:55 | Yeah, pretty sure Chuck Lorre was right about the censors. And about the uncensored version. http://t.co/1Ut1P9PP |

| 15:40 | Wow, talk about your celebrity endorsements! http://t.co/I8WQx41Y |
| 16:43 | Almost time to head to my friend Carol's for candy duty. Got my suspenders on. Just need the shoes and my glorious brown coat and I'm set! |

| 09:53 | RT @meatflag: "Did we say impartial expert? We meant puppet, still besties? " http://t.co/LqLJzME7 [Impartiality is so subjective.] |
| 10:05 | MSFT CEO Ballmer channels Obi-Wan Kenobi: "These aren't the tablets you're looking for." http://t.co/X6piM6Rc |
| 14:23 | @montalvoarts Loved @reduced. Laughed myself silly, and enjoyed my brief chat with the cast afterward. |
| 16:34 | @cschweitz How can you be lonely with all of us tweeters just an Internet connection away? |
| 17:50 | @paulandstorm [P] If it comes down to cannibalism, remember that the younger children are probably more tender. Older are meatier, though. |
| 18:11 | @Sheila_DFT @VictoriaDahl Not true: WIlly Wonka (the Gene Wilder version), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang both better films than the books. |
| 19:36 | The @ThrillingAdv behind the scenes podcast episode was almost as much fun as the real episodes. Almost. |
| 19:38 | Jeeze, Mitt and Paul. You really are shameless. http://t.co/0zd8jhaX |
| 19:59 | Whenever people talk about government waste and too-high taxes, I think of all the resources we pull together in moments like this. #sandy |

| 15:02 | Back in June Mitt called federal disaster relief immoral. With Sandy bearing down, think he still believes that? http://t.co/VlCVKHPa |
| 15:06 | RT @ChuckWendig: Joss Whedon endorses Mitt Romney, ladies and gents. Let him tell you why. https://t.co/SUYRPR23 [Say it ain't so, Joss.] |
| 15:32 | RT @ebertchicago: Hollywood liberal Joss Whedon endorses Romney. http://t.co/cFyTgvLy [Et tu, Roger?] |
| 16:20 | Sunday afternoon before Halloween is not a good time to visit a Halloween store. What was I thinking? |
| 18:30 | Chrysler suggests strongly that Mitt's a lying sack of excrement. No, they're not moving Jeep production from the US. http://t.co/YQDvw7PG |
| 18:42 | RT @InvisibleObama: It's nice to see the US has ways of shutting things down when getting violated by a hurricane. [Burn!] |
| 18:56 | The Romney campaign knows its Jeep ad is a lie, yet they won't stop running it. Maybe Shepard Fairey should do a Mitt poster called Trust. |

| 09:40 | Good essay by @PFTompkins on his support for #Obama2012. A decent man trying to do the right thing & often succeeding. http://t.co/K8xgyW93 |
| 17:57 | Today is my mom's birthday. You still have birthdays after you're not alive, right? I mean, what's the point otherwise? (Miss you, mom.) |
| 17:59 | How can anybody resist a plea for money from @pagetpaget? I certainly can't. And couldn't. And didn't. http://t.co/hFYl0DO5 @ThrillingAdv |
| 18:32 | Off to @montalvoarts to see the @reduced America show. Sure hope they can keep the lights on this time. |
| 19:04 | Oh, good. So far the lights are on at @montalvoarts. It's the little things, you know? @reduced |
| 21:06 | Intermission at @reduced. Feels like a lot of new material, but I could be misremembering. High-larious. (Begone, autocorrect.) |
| 21:14 | RT @reduced: @disorderly We're putting that on our new posters: "High-ate rival!" [Gorram autocorrect!] |
