February 8, 2009 TechyDad This Week in Tweets

Seriously, Disney, when are posting your May park hours? We need to make our reservations on Sunday, but May park hours aren’t posted yet. #
Loving the fact that the latest version of Twhirl has spell-check built in. #
While at my parents’ house I picked up some old family photos to scan. I really wish I knew more about the one w/ my great-grandparents. #
Unfortunately, my grandfather (whose parents they were) passed away many years ago & my grandmother’s memory’s not the best. #
Wow. A member of my digital photography group not only published a coffee table book with his great astrophotography shots, … #
…but he also got forewords written by Sir Arthur C Clarke, Sir Patrick Moore, and Dr. Brian May (Queen guitarist w/ PHD in Astrophysics). #
Link to the incredible Astrophotography book: http://is.gd/i6qz #
Thinking about webcams. If my parents got 1 & we got 1, the kids could talk to Bubbe, Grandpa, & Greatgrandma on screen instead of by phone #
Close call this weekend. I downloaded photos from my friend’s wedding to show my parents. Forgot I had a “TechyDad” stamp on them. #
Luckily, I only showed them to my mom (not computer literate) then deleted them. When dad asked about them I said that quality wasn’t good. #
Parents don’t know about my “TechyDad” moniker & although I don’t use this name to badmouth them, I’d rather they don’t know about it. #
How many Twitterfolk keep an online identity (Twitter, Facebook, blog, etc) that their parents/family doesn’t know about? #
I find this hilarious though I’m sure families watching the Super Bowl didn’t: Porn clip penetrates Super Bowl broadcast http://is.gd/i5Vq #
Phil the Groundhog sees 6 more weeks of winter. In related news: http://ushotstuff.com/wg/GroundhogSmp.htm #
Some people recorded the “Super Bowl Porn” & put it online. Highly NSFW so not even going to think about watching it now. #
My great-grandparents. http://twitpic.com/1awb7 Undated photo. Only clue is print on the back: “Albert Murdus Photographer 524 Grand St NY” #
Back of that mystery photo: http://twitpic.com/1awgb Is there a Grand Street Historical Society or something? #
My twitter profile is worth $287. I ‘m only 2.8% of the worth of @guykawasaki. http://www.tweetvalue.com/ #
People book #DisneyWorld reservations 90 days out. 90 days from today = May 3. Last posted schedule as of now = 4/28. Disney Schedule FAIL! #
Punky Brewster’s on Twitter? I loved that show! (Ok, not Punky, but the actress who played her: @moonfrye) #
Man do I hate #Heroes! How could they end like that & make me wait a week for more?!!! Seriously, though, *GREAT* episode. #
Almost forgot about my #WiiFit workout. Might make things simple and just do 50 minutes of Free Step with my ankle weights on. #
Non-PB items recalled now. Execs from the company should be brought up on criminal charges. They knew about the Salmonella & ignored it. #
Video game playing linked to breastfeeding. http://is.gd/i2Pq (No, not really. The “link” is used to show how ridiculous some studies are.) #
Wondering if there’s any way to figure out how old a photo is. Got an undated photo of my great-grandparents. #
So tired. Stayed up way too late last night. Would anyone notice if I closed my office door and took a 3 or 4 hour nap? #
Why does the new version of #Twhirl insist on adding multiple spaces when I hit the space key once? #
Special K Bliss bars are so not worth it. They taste good, but FiberOne bars taste better, are almost 2x the size, & are the same points. #
I found out on Sunday that you can’t bring Trader Joe’s Sunflower Butter on an airplane. They count it as a liquid and confiscate it. #
Luckily, my parents were nearby & were able to take it back with them. I’ll have to pick it up when I drive down one day. #
Just got another “Your car warranty is expiring” robo-call. Should have pressed 1 & yelled at the rep. Just wasn’t motivated enough. #
Don’t you hate it when you think “Well, the day’s almost over now” and then you look down at the clock & see you still have over 2hrs to go? #
Anyone know of a guide to the different blogger conferences? (Where they are, when they are, what activities go on at them?) #
In an attempt to date my great-grandparent’s photo, I found this page with lots of old photos for reference: http://is.gd/igqy #
Anon. [Husband and wife, she is standing, he is sitting, fringe beard. c.1870] http://is.gd/igqP Looks sort of like the photo I have. #
Here’s the photo that I’m trying to date: http://twitpic.com/1bdwf Any leads would be greatly appreciated. #
Headed to bed. Don’t feel so good. Not sure if I’m coming down with something or if my body is just exhausted. Either way, I need some rest. #
Won a giveaway & didn’t receive prize due to sponsor mix-up. Person hosting giveaway isn’t answering my e-mails. How long should I wait? #
Thinking of restarting an old website I once ran that had Infomercial product reviews. Might make it more blog-like w/ guest reviewers. in reply to classymommy #
Why is it, when I’m feeling sick, that I get insanely hungry. Trying to keep to healthy snacks so as not to rack up points needlessly. #
On the hunt for someone who can catch an injured bird & take care of it. #
Some of my co-workers suggested hitting it w/ a tennis racket to “put it out of its misery.” I most certainly WILL NOT! #
Those were female co-workers, BTW. #
If I re-opened my infomercial review site, people could send me products to review and give away. Any infomercial product vendors out there? #
Time Warner expanding their metered billing trials. You get 20GB per day then get charged $1 for each GB you go over. #
Just ate hummus on a flat roll with Fiber One and then cottege cheese w/ crushed pineapple. Why am I feeling extremely hungry? #
Running a report that usually slows my computer down. Add in McAfee & my computer’s just not responding. Driving me nuts. #
I want to be productive. Really, I do. But I just can’t if my computer takes 5 minutes to do each thing I tell it to do. (Like Right-click.) #
Just found out that two Amie Street artists that I like are on Twitter: @shannonhurley and @marinav #
In case anyone’s interested, @marinav’s music can be heard here: http://is.gd/io61 @shannonhurley’s here: http://is.gd/io9S #
Another bad day for NHL. His teachers said it’s like he’s not in control. He knows it’s wrong, apologizes after, but can’t stop himself. #
Last time this happened to NHL, he was on Singulair. Wondering if one of his new allergy/asthma medicines could be causing his bad behavior. #
RT @Twitter_Tips: WARNING–WordPress Warning: If you have TweetBacks plugin installed uninstall it— it has a spam backdoor (via @DaivRawks ) #
Fell asleep last night w/ laptop reading twitter. Skipped WiiFit workout for a 2nd night in a row. Feeling a little better this morning. #
My computer doesn’t want to work today. ARGH! Think it’s time for a reboot. #
A delivery just arrived at my office. I didn’t order it though. 1st name & Surname’s 1st 3 characters correct. Going to right person now. #
Computer didn’t want to work. Rebooted and now it does. Ah, the reboot: The fix for nearly all computer “mysterious problems.” #
Animal Control called me back about the bird… over 24 hours from when I first called them. Nice to see quick response there. #
I swear the hospital intercom just said: “Peter Griffin call the operator.” If a talking dog & a homicidal baby walk by, I’m going home. #
Feeling shaky. I sometimes get this way if I’ve put lunch off for too long. But I just ate lunch. I should prob get my blood sugar tested. #
Diabetes runs in my family (mom has it, grandfather had it, etc) so blood sugar issues aren’t something to be ignored. #
Can anyone recommend any good WordPress plugins to help handle reviews? Categorizations, Star rankings, Searching, etc. #
RT @stargardener’s dad: I think Congressmen should wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers so we could identify their Corporate sponsors. #
Headed home now. *slides down dinosaur’s back and glides into car* #
Ok, *WAY* past my bedtime. Did my #WiiFit workout & prepped some photos for tomorrow’s blog post. But for now I’m off to bed. Goodnight all! #
Not feeling too good today. Nose is all stuffed up & I feel like I’m in a fog. #
Sinuses killing me. Not sure if it’s a sickness, allergies, exhaustion, or all three ganging up on me. #
Last night I tried to get my router (Netgear WRT614) to e-mail me its log files so I could figure out how much bandwidth we use. No success. #
Any recommendations on Webcams? Thinking of getting one so my kids can video chat with my parents & grandma long distance. #
Was looking at this webcam: http://tinyurl.com/8ucpy4 #
Is it bad that I’m hungry and want to eat lunch at 11:40? #
Have one single item in my inbox. It looks so lonely in there, but I’m moving on to other projects. #
Feel like Sushi for dinner but don’t know how many points it’d be. #
About an hour to go until the weekend is officially here. #

Shutterfly running very slow. C’mon Shutterfly! I need to add this batch to my work’s gallery so I can go home in 20 minutes. #
Anyone else running the #Twhirl beta getting doubling spaces? I hit 1 space & 2 appear. Seems to be random, not everytime. Quite annoying. #
Other than the doubling spaces thing, I’m loving the #Twhirl beta. #
Interesting how Mr. Rodger’s Neighborhood showed a nipple in the context of breastfeeding while Facebook bans them. http://is.gd/iMEs #
