• Signing up for the Apple iPhone dev program because @kfred85 encouraged me to get off my ass. #

• RT @Kate_is__great RT:@ctatweet: Blue line delays– person on the track: http://bit.ly/L5Weh #
• At Borders to… buy a book! #
• iPhone SDK is downloaded. #
• On the way to the 9r to have a drink with @andrea_joi. #
• So jealous of @andypeters. NIN/JA! #
• Some mornings I walk out the door and the first thing I think is “This is a drum corps day.” Today is one of those mornings. #
• I thought it was #tomatotuesday? #
• I just backspaced through a series of expletives after seeing @goodtwindesign mention the plate that won. Looks like Huskers crap. :( #
• My website from 1999. It may be better than the one I have now… http://bit.ly/vNYQC #
• So I met @skidvis and he gave me tickets to NIN! Seriously, how cool. #
• We took 4th place at slowdown pub quiz. @lasertron @k_to_the_t and I knows what it’s like to rule. #
• Can anyone in Dundee give me a jump start on my car? Left my power inverter plugged in, and now it’s dead :( #
• Thanks everyone! @k_to_the_t came to the rescue! #
• Even after best efforts Kt and I was unable to start my car. Anyone know anything about cars who might be able to help troubleshoot? :) #
• Also @k_to_the_t called me out for using the phrase “best practice” when discussing automobiles. http://twitpic.com/5k0kw #
• >@NerdyTwerd Kt thinks it’s my alternator, but it’s only an ’07 car. @nickashley good idea, I did take a look… seemed clean, newish car. #
• > @jshelly @matthewhelt I think It’s trying? There’s lights and dings. When I turn the key all other power seems to drop and it clicks. #
• > @nickashley you’re probably right about the alternator, didn’t even think of that. maybe it’s my 1970s jumper cables not working? :) #
• > @zachleat Ohh maybe that’s it. I just kind of clipped it to something that looked grounded. That may be it too. You guys rule :) #
• RT @S_Monger Google’s CB data center is online http://bit.ly/13xtdd & they’re hiring http://tiny.cc/9w0Hd #
• Thanks for everyone’s suggestions this morning with regards to the vehicle debacle. I’ll try and get it moving again tonight. You all rock. #
• RT @LozaFina RT @bargainist Memorial day = bbqs, Man! Get free hotdogs here: http://ow.ly/8605 #
• >@twitter I think you need a “mutual friends” type thing like facebook has. Itd be cool to see what followers I have in common with someone. #
• RT @phenomblue If you’re a flash/flex developer, we’re looking for you. (not in a creepy stalker way.) http://ow.ly/87mQ #
• Plan of attack: Kt brings me home, see if car fixed itself per @icedogchi. Work I have to do at 6pm. And that’s as far as I got. #
• Got a nasty note that I hadn’t moved my car. It won’t start, argh. The world hates me today. #
• I caved. Getting my car towed and having someone else look at it. #
• Magic man with super powers came and turned my car that didn’t move into a moving car. All is resolved. #
• >@jshelly turns out it isn’t fixed afterall. it started once but no more. I just got it restarted and dropped off at a service place. in reply to jshelly #
• Walking back to the auto shop to get my car with brand new battery. #
• Nothing worse than waking up feeling hungover when you’re not. All I’ve been drinking is water! #
• When lunch becomes some high point you look forward to during your work day instead of something you have to do for food, thats perspective. #
• Just saw @hotdogsladies is using Birdhouse. Is he an exception to my auto-unfollow rule? Why must he put me in this position! #
• When I think I’m slacking on the tweets I check to see if @NerdyTwerd has said anything about it. Today I must be doing alright. #
• Damn you @RT_Thursday for making me chuckle. #
• Anyone have a successful Hackintosh configuration they’re currently using and would recommend? #
• I know what I’m missing. I don’t have any beer. How can I expect myself to do development without beer? #
• You should follow @MNU_Lies this #followfriday. Hear the stories of the non-humans in District 9! #
• I’ve never heard of most of the bands people in Omaha get really excited about. #
• hmm, @k_to_the_t is gonna be pissed. http://bit.ly/3lv6F #
• And after a successful request to change my name from “Gabriel” to “Gabe” in the company directory, they changed it back. Again. #
• Just got a spam from “Rickie Staples”. What a cool name. #
• I needed another Intel based mac to run XCode + iPhone SDK, the simulator won’t run on my G4 mini. @skidvis had a mac mini he sold me, cool! #
• http://twitpic.com/5q3gi – He was lonely. #
• Me: I hate giving blood. Nurse: I’m sure your tattoos hurt worse. Me: My arm never turned purple when getting a tattoo. Nurse: hmm… yeah. #
• Want to go out for @terahann’s birthday, but probably not a good idea when I’m on-call. Need to be closer to a computer than that :\ #
• Everyone follow @DSmothers for #followfriday. Only because he signed up for the sole purpose of getting 200 followers. I wish him luck. #
• Have you guys seen the movie trailer for Transforminators? Best movie ever. http://bit.ly/MDEzO #
• I just watched the trailer for the new Harry Potter film. It looks more like a disaster flick than anything else. Weather, bridges, etc. #
• There’s an animated movie called “Nine” coming out and a movie Chicagoesque musical called “9″ coming out. The jokes write themselves. #
• Does anyone know Megan W. who works at the Dundee Dell? #
• Saturday night, doing what I do every Saturday night… working! #
• It’s 2:30am, why am I still up? Oh well. One episode of “Angry Video Game Nerd” and then I’m off to bed. #
• Time for a quick walk to Blue Line for some fuel. #
• While walking down Underwood I notice the accessory of the season is “a girl.” I might have to get myself one of those. #
• At the 9r drinking. Earliest ever, it feels odd. #
• I fell asleep. During the day. How’d that happen? #
• For immediate release: I passed 8,000 tweets today and never even made a big deal about it. Pass it on. #

• Not looking forward to the post-days-off feces storm waiting for me at the office. #
• Just got my ass handed to me for being out of communication with work during #bigomaha. They can suck it. #
• Waiting patiently for #bigomaha 2010 registration. #
• I agree NE should pay designers for quality. But if it becomes obvious they won’t, would a designer rather do it free to avoid crap plates? #
• Dear internet: there is no such thing as an “iTouch”. #
• Everyone from #bigomaha: my business cards were just delivered. Please give me your address so I can send you one. Or 20. 200. #
• For some reason I want ice cream. so off to eCreamery I go. #
• The tables in this conference room got replaced by plastic folding tables. I have no idea. #
• Hey guys, remember that time we all hung out with @garyvee and the crew drinking @luckybucketbrew? That was awesome. Let’s do it again soon. #
• I think @dustyd and the OWH is a stand up routine I just don’t yet understand. in reply to dustyd #
• I don’t suppose it’s possible to write in @dustyd and @jjsnyc as Omaha Mayor? #
• Hey kids, we’re talking ’bout the relevance of the old guys, and the conversation of the new guys over at http://www.marenated.com/ #
• One more unread email and I’m at 1000 in my work inbox. Not counting filed/filtered messages. Send me congratulations, but I won’t read em. #

• Was anyone watching the show “Kings”? Last episode on iTunes is 4/18. What happened to it? #
• A good time to have fresh blood running Omaha. Congrats, Jim Suttle. #
• And I’m done with work for the night. Not cool work, but like 9-5 work. Yeah, I do that every night now too. #
• I feel like I’m missing out on some great conversations right now. Please, Twitter, #fixreplies. #
• > @boutcher Do you live in Omaha anymore? #
• > @nickashley Twitter apps need a regex feature to allow you to custom format your tweets as you wish, that’d be cool. #fixreplies #nerdy #
• > @Maukingbird But some people, like me, thrive on meeting new people by knowing what people like you are saying to your friends. Huge loss. #
• > @Maukingbird #followfriday is flawed due to lack of context, sorry @micah :) #
• Trying to convince @EternalCow to work with @Maukingbird on a graphic novel about IRC. #
• > @Maukingbird I’d buy it :\ I’d buy two, give one as a gift. #
• > @andypeters I purchased it, and then found it can’t do reoccurring, scheduled tasks. Waste of $ for me :( Moved to remember the milk. #
• http://twitpic.com/53pii – The twitter sidebar on “Flock” browser is still giving @replies for all. I don’t follow those listed. #fixr … #

• So it turns out that Twitter can’t turn on public replies even if they wanted to. Just great. #fixreplies #
• Everyone make it back ok? #
