Updates for the week of 2010-06-27

Guys, thanks so much for the RTs. (Blogged: My fifth Father's Day http://doycetesterman.com/index.php/2010/06/my-fifth-fathers-day/) #
My expectaion also: RT @ebertchicago: I liked "Toy Story 3," but I'll bet I would have liked it more if I could have seen it in 2D. #
It comes upon me hard, sometimes. http://bit.ly/c7brH2 #
Daughter: "Happy Father's Day, Daddy; I have a boyfriend!" Then she punched me. Lovingly. #
My #twitter age is 1189 days 21 hours 1 minutes 38 seconds. Find out yours at http://twitter.seocoder.org/ #twittertime #
My twitter age might be 1189 days, but right now I don't feel a minute over 1000. #
(Yeah I don't know what the point of twitter age is either, I just click shiny buttons sometimes.) #
Adrift: Hot air through the vents. I get goosebumps through the sweat. Yes, space is cold, but the biggest problem… http://bit.ly/ah4ncV #
Review: Jonah Hex (http://j.mp/dm7yXM) – I no longer feel much desire to see this. #
Kindle price drops to $189 (http://j.mp/c7ZYRI) – "Amazon's move gives you a -5 to your next Will Save." #
RT @angelajames: Word. Up. RT @kirkbiglione: The problem with ereader price drops is they make the actual ebooks seem more expensive. #
Okay, guys: I've got… 19 episodes of Chuck to watch, in order to catch up. I CANNOT. Muster. Enthusiasm for this. Is it worth it? Halp? #
Quick clarification: comparing it to Lost is not a pro- for me. :) #
I am – and this hard for me to say – gobsmacked at @DaphneUn's encyclopedic knowledge of The Goonies. Seriously, you guys. Seriously. #
Creating a sick system (http://j.mp/cCMbX0) – I'll note that steps 1, 2, 3, and 4 are basically what a newborn does to the parents. #
Adrift: Threats keep coming. We keep moving. The Voice praises ‘proper avoidance’. When we *don’t* do what it expe… http://bit.ly/dkTS5s #
This picture terrifies me in the best possible way. http://is.gd/cZKGq #
Some old friends make it into a photo project. http://bit.ly/bHtusy #
Nice evening. LOUSY night. Really, REALLY too early of a morning. #
It's always kind of a relief when SEO gurus unfollow me. I live in fear one might find me *useful*; that I might somehow be… weaponized. #
Oh look, sun's coming up. No… wait… just headlights. #
RT @ChuckWendig: @doycet Let it be known: you say awesome shit. (I have no reason to RT this except the obvious.) #
Okay, if I'm not going back to bed, it's time to flip down the periscope and get some writing done. Be spectacular, people. #
All of this ignores that paying person-without-whom-the-work-doesn't-exist 10% to 25% is kind of insulting. @colleenlindsay #advchat #
… A well-established, institutionalized insult, yes. I get that bit. #advchat #
I love nearly everyone I've ever met in the publishing industry; truly. The industry /itself/ makes me make the vuvuzela sound. #
I suspect days full of tweets like these make @agentshana kind of rub her temples. That thought eventually shuts me up. :) Back to writing. #
Brizzly-using people: anyone messed around with the Picnic feature? Sort of a group-chat tool run 'through' Twitter? Is that close? #
RT @angelajames: A mere year ago, people thought self-publishing meant you weren't good enough. Now it means you're cutting edge. #
Gah. How did I end up back on here, doing stuff? Must I physically shut the wifi off? Back to work. #
Every time I swim, I seem to tear off a small chunk of me. Starting to suspect this is how people lose weight. #healthplan #bloodinthewater #
RT @wilw: Geeks are really good at taking something we love & turning it into something to argue about w/ geeks who love it as much as we do #
Merlin Mann, on Privacy and Intimacy on the Internet. http://is.gd/d2M0H #
Hmm. Diaspora. Privacy-aware, personally controlled, open source social network. http://is.gd/c7uwq #
Oh, yeah, played a cool game of Diaspora RPG tonight too, which weirdly had nothing to do with my previous post. More on the game tomorrow. #
Random Average: Diaspora Hacks, by way of Dresden Files http://bit.ly/chXmDd #
No Town Car or Crown Vic? N.Y. Streets Won’t Be the Same – NYTimes.com (http://j.mp/a6lUVu) – And John Casey dies a little bit inside. #
Water holds no terror for my daughter. A "boy teacher", however, is some kind of squamous horror. I'm strangely okay with that aversion. #
Sweet: thunder drove us out of the pool in time to catch the last 20 of the #worldcup usa match. #
RT @wilw: I really wish I could hear fans cheering and chanting for their teams, instead of those awful fucking horns. #
Regardless of the outcome, I've been really glad to see #usa at the big kids table. Exciting 2nd half. Gratz #gha #
Did… Did the announcer just say the #usa chances are 'Going, going, Ghana'? #headdesk #
