June 28, 2009 TechyDad This Week in Tweets

Had some good Father’s Day plans. Bad weather canceled some. Bad NHL behavior canceled others. #
Sometimes being a father means giving up your special day’s activities to carry through on a parental threat/discipline. #
Hope everyone else’s Father’s Day activities went well. Though there’s only mere minutes left to it here, Happy Dad’s Day! #
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to have a good Dad’s Day sleep so I’m rested for Kindergarten Kid Graduation Day! #
Really wish that the Walking With Dinosaurs Live stage show had a DVD you could buy. Would love to play it over & over again! #
I checked out Meetup.com to see what groups are in my area. There are 6 “moms” groups & 2 “parents” groups. No “dads” groups? #
Did find a photography group, though. They go on photoshoots and stuff. Interesting…. #
Just remembered about Steve Gibson’s SpinRite. Might be able to fix my broken HD. But is it worth $89 or do I just re-rip all of my CDs? #
Called @TheAngelForever. She’s sick. Thinks she might pass out. Wish I could leave work & be by her side. Stuck here for another hour. 🙁 in reply to TheAngelForever #
My son (age 5) likes working out w/ me on #EASActive but the leg strap’s too big for him. Any ideas? #
Having him hold the nunchuck against his leg works for inline skating, but not for other workouts. #EASActive #
RT @lucascordalis Video Games Republic » Obama issued with EA Sports Active challenge http://bit.ly/zb5d3 <= I’d love to see this! 😉 #
Just four more workouts to go in my #EASActive 30 day challenge. 6 more trophies left. Should get 3 of those & finish challenge by Sunday. #
Walking With Dinosaurs Live has permanently corrupted JSL. He’s stomping &roaring around instead of going to sleep. (Video coming soon.) #
Me: “JSL, go momma.” JSL: “No no *waving hands* Noooo! Want help dada!” Ah the terrible twos. #
So tired this morning. Can’t I have one night of uninterrupted sleep? Waking up 3 times during the night does not make you feel rested. #
Wow, Tim Burton doing Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter. http://is.gd/1aaEy The Hatter never looked so… well, mad! #
I just entered the HP MediaSmart Server Giveaway @MommyGoggles! http://tinyurl.com/nrw5oj #
RT @elijahmanor: “Real Programmers always confuse Christmas and Halloween because Oct31 == Dec25” #tech #quote #humor #
RT @mike_elgan: Iranian government shoots & kills protester, then charges his parents $3,000 for the bullet. http://bit.ly/2RzjFD <= Insane! #
Still want to work on my Twitter app. Haven’t had time lately. Also wondering if my server has the power to process all those friends lists. #
Ew. Took out the banana I brought in to go with my lunch. Went to open it up & noticed the top was open, squishy and moldy! YUCK! #
So tired. Can I take a post-lunch nap at my desk? #
Has anyone used an IOGear USB Net ShareStation ( http://is.gd/1aAkn ) to share printers & external HDs over a network? #
Yesterday, during my son’s graduation, he said the Pledge of Allegiance w/ his fingers forming an “L” on his forehead. Who taught him that? #
Can an all-digital watch be considered dressy enough to wear with a suit? Wondering why “dress watches” must be analog in this day & age. #
RT @tyropearl: Clerics join Iran’s anti-government protest: http://ia5li.tk Good for them #iranelection <= Good luck to the Iranians. #
RT @cnnbrk: Security forces firing weapons beat protesters in Tehran; witness on CNN says they beat people like animals http://bit.ly/aoVi9 #
Wondering where to go w/ @TheAngelForever for dinner for our 8th Wedding Anniversary. Doesn’t need to be kid-friendly, they’ll be at in-laws #
RT @IranElection09: RT Iran Eye Witness of Massacre Lalezar Sq. / Baharestan on CNN! http://bit.ly/fdK1f (expand) BRUTAL #
Realizing that we have very few photos of us as a family. Tons of indiv photos/groupings but few of all. (1 of us always behind camera.) #
Hand cramping. Not used to writing pen & paper style so much. But a printed anniversary card just wouldn’t have the same emotional quality. #
Got list of #EASActive exercises. 106 in total w/ 3 difficulty settings each. 318 calorie+time figures to collect. This could take awhile. #
Got the cardio figures transcribed. Will do Upper, Lower & Sports another day. Then will work on an #EASActive web app. 🙂 #
Called Toys R Us to ask a question. Pressed button to get to cust service rep. Put on hold. No music. No one picking up. Nothing. TRU FAIL! #
Taking a three day weekend Fri-Sun. I think my brain is taking a four day weekend, though. It’s packed and left! Get back here brain!!! #
Strip search of 13yr old by school officials looking for ibuprofen ruled illegal. http://is.gd/1de6e <= Officials should have called police #
Ok, this Mvix Ultio 1080p UPnP Home Theater Media Player just hit my “Tech Drool List” http://is.gd/1dge9 Wish I could get one to review! #
While I’m hooking my son on Batman, I think my son’s hooked me on Phineas and Ferb. Curse you Perry the Platypus… er, NHL! 😉 #
Is it 4:30 yet? #
