Keynote speech was OK - My Mac rebooted because I plugged an audio jack into the USB port.
@xolotl Two separate things in the tweet - thanks for the pep talk.

The band keeps trying to get Brent up on stage @B414 to sing - but he seems not ready yet.
I am back for a second night @B414 - wrote a blog post about it http://tinyurl.com/c9trsk - next write exams.
@zaren Facebook. Several said "what's twitter". These are top academic HS seniors Michigan is recruiting. Half plan to be engineers.

@madstuart They said MySpace is "urban decay" and maybe OK for Middle School. FaceBook is for High School - Twitter is old people > 20.
Switched www.appenginelearn.com to be hosted on AppEngine - It was tacky having it AE-Learn in PHP - and AE now is > 1MB files - yay!

@AmyStephen It was the last lecture of the semester and taxes went in with 15 minutes to spare - all quite exciting :)

Put up close captioned versions of my Hardin, Behlendorf, and Stallman videos. Wish I had CC for running with the squirrels. Bad planning.

I am *sooo* close to dumping my iPhone and switching to a BlackBerry - I so hate the keyboard on the iPhone.

Charles A is giving a guest lecture on security in SI502. Uploading slides as I twitter.
Good news - 2008 taxes are not a disaster. Good thing I gave a bunch o money away to charity.

Arriving for the Med School LMSng Meeting - looking for the room.
Writing text for a grant in the CSE atrium this morning. Then on to the SI301 field trip in the Duderstadt Center CAVE.
@charlvn Yes - that is great news! I just signed up for Java App Engine - we will see if writing the Python book gets me any consideration.
@xolotl The most inspiring place to have a meeting is SnowBird resort in Utah (off season). It is cheap, beautiful, and no ski injuries.

@xolotl Memphis has blues, ribs, Graceland, Sun Studio, and a sweet mall-like downtown that blends modern and classic-also family friendly.
@xolotl I like Memphis and Nashville - both are surprisingly fun destinations that folks never get to. Memphis would be my #1.
I always feel sorry for lacrosse players when I see them. They are trying to be hockey players without ice or skates. Why?

Wow - what a deflating game - after such a great run.
@botimer You are living the dream! At least Comcast HD is working for us second-tier folks.

@AmyStephen I am now following you. I had to quit the Pub crawl - I had a 5AM cab taking me to the airport :)
Well, today needs to be a productive day.
@clint_newsom I don't get it.
At Penn State - still coding - merged Gaurav's and my DB models in CloudSocial - Yay! Now to write an icon picker!

I shut off my cable modem and went to DSL to have one less splitter in my Cable TV wiring. Maybe Digital cable will work better now.
