So, for a change I'm going to record the Super Bowl this year. Might even watch it live. What is wrong with me? #SB44 #
@miss_cath Could be an oversight? in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Bleh. That's people for ya. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath No such thing as a "mere contributor". A site lives and dies with its writers. Maybe a communications SNAFU, too. :/ in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Oops, sorry. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Oh, good. Thought I was in trouble there for a moment. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath I'd like to do that, too, one of these days. New York to LA via Chicago, and the reverse via New Orleans. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath It should. All the history you can travel alongside… ah, well, one day. in reply to miss_cath #
Die ARD Kommentatoren nerven. #superbowl #ARD #
I like first down marker displayed. So much easier to follow the game as European. #superbowl #
@peterc American Football is Rugby For Wusses, anyway. Armor? Puuulease! in reply to peterc #
2 yards… man. #saints #superbowl #
Solid defense by the #colts. Fun game so far. Hope for 10-10 halftime score #superbowl #
Woah. Very nice defense #saints #superbowl #
Well, at least a field goal for #saints And now: The Who! #superbowl #
Sportspiele = Gewaltverherrlichung. Ja, ne. Is klar, #ARD Wenn man keine Ahnung hat, einfach mal Fresse halten. – D. Nuhr #
Nice! #saints #touchdown #superbowl #
@Montaignejns you want to jinx it, don't you? in reply to Montaignejns #
@houseofprince Easy. Both involve flogging. #
@Montaignejns that touchdown is your fault! #colts #touchdown #superbowl in reply to Montaignejns #
@majornelson Wait, what? Our Euro ads are witty? News to me… #
Nicely close score in the #superbowl better than the other two I saw in the last 8 years. #
Soooo close for both! #superbowl #
Enjoying a nice tactical #superbowl good decision to stay up for this game #
@houseofprince Yay for ARPAnet and CERN, then, for creating a nice emergency pressure valve for the rest of us. in reply to houseofprince #
#colts intercepted and #touchdown for the #saints Game's in the bag, I say. #superbowl #
@icedsoul oh when the saints go marching in… #
#colts are getting nervous. Manning showing some nerves? #superbowl #
@houseofprince ARPAnet was the Internet protocol, and CERN saw the creation of HTML: both are in use to this day #
Woah #colts are really rattled. And the clock's ticking away ever so slowly… Fun game, seriously. #superbowl #
Congratulations for winning the 44th Super Bowl, New Orleans Saints. Thanks for an interesting match to you and the Indianapolis Colts #
iTunes: Good at nothing in particular. Can't even close the damn app because it's stuck connecting to the iTunes Store. *headdesk* #
Adobe: When Windows Media Player is the better Flash player, U R DOIN IT RONG! #
@peterc You can probably file that under "Obvious Findings", I guess. in reply to peterc #
@peterc I'd use goatse or something like that, but I've got a mean streak. So, yeah. in reply to peterc #
@peterc I doubt there's much risk. "Your Honor, while wacking off live on a webcam, someone showed me nasty pics from the intertubes!" in reply to peterc #
@irascian Is Silverlight support in Expression Studio now, perhaps? in reply to irascian #
@irascian I'm getting a headache from thinking about that. MSFT's usual problem: So many SKUs, so much stuff to support. *sigh* in reply to irascian #
@irascian Lovely. At least I'll get VS2010 Pro for free thanks to my college's MSDNAA membership. Less to worry about re. included features. in reply to irascian #
@LBugnion TED2010? in reply to LBugnion #
A 1 hour HotSpot pass for "just" 8 EUR? T-Com, you are fascinating. In that train wreck kind of way. #
@LBugnion Ah! Sounds like fun, too. Makes me wish I had something valuable to contribute to something. in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion Not even if I ask with a cherry on top? in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion The kind Glenmorangie offers (Lasanta is a whisky that ripened in a cherry barrel until sale). in reply to LBugnion #
@colleenlindsay Spam bots, phishing bots, etc. in reply to colleenlindsay #
@LBugnion OK! Er, wait… Anyhow: Enjoy your NDA'd trip and non-NDA'd (I hope) reunions. in reply to LBugnion #
Finally, sync for my Google Contacts and Calendar on the iPod Touch. OTA, alas (Apple, why not in iTunes? Only supporting Outlook blows.) #
