• Headed for the strip. Planning on riding the gondolas at the Venetian. #
• On the coolness of Facebook, does it ever stop????? #
• @technosailor I think their concern is giving someone (even their customer) shell access. #
• @newscoma I have a microphone. All we need is some Links beef jerky. #
• @technosailor Oh I totally agree. It’s a reason, but not really an excuse. #
• @technosailor My hosting provider will give ssh access after seeing a scanned copy of a valid ID. #
• @halosfan What’s stopped? #
• @technosailor Well, seeing your ID proves you are who you say you are. It means they can say prove who you are if you do something nasty. #
• @technosailor No arguments here. No only can passwords be snatched, so could the data. #
• Went to Mass at the Catheral. I’m glad we’ll be home next Sunday. #
• About to eat at a habachi place #

• @JimFarley We are planning on Hoover dam. #
• @GSPN Happy anniversary! #
• Does anyone know the best way to delete photos in iPhoto that are in a smartlist? #
• @halosfan Yeah, but I want to delete them. I want them to not be taking up space on my HD…. #
• @Digimom Well that’s what I want, to delete them for good. But I can’t find an option to delete them from the smart album. #
• @Digimom Nope…That doesn’t work. #
• @Digimom Are you using iPhoto ‘08? #
• @Digimom I guess they took that "bug" out of the latest version then. #
• Sitting some Japanese place so Suzette can order take out. Kinda wish we had a vid cam. #
• I think I’ll try the local Pizza. #
• @gregkeuter poor dogs #
• @markfleser Thanks for the heads up on Moodswing. #
• Answered my own question. Select the picture in the Album and press cmd-opt-del. #

• a Chrysler Saebring convertible for the price of a compact car…. #
• @newscoma I think she wants brick and mortar that sells them. #
• @GingerSnaps Yeah…"mom & pop" = small, privately owned…..etc…. I know there’s one is Hendersonville. Probably doesn’t have laptops. #
• @GingerSnaps I would have to agree with Newscoma that your best bet is still online. I recommend New Egg. http://www.newegg.com/ #

• Our first stop today is the Star Trek Experience. #

• Leaving for Vegas in seven hours! #
• @badbadivy I’m glad you’re feeling better! #
• Uh oh. Fr. Roderick’s on Facebook now. I guess I need to get on the ball and work on my own profile now. All the SQPNers will be there now. #
• @bego St. Paul "should" be on Facebook….I’m pretty sure he’s on MySpace, so why not? #
• @bobm512z I feel your pain. I think we should just offer it up. #
• @halosfan Or when the roadside stand selling watermelon and boiled peanuts moves 20 feet down the road to keep from having to get a permit. #

• @pcamarata Welcome back Paul! #
• At the Nashville airport waiting on our flight. Suzette is so excited to be going to Vegas. #
• @badbadivy That’s awesome! It’s always nice to hear about a new life! #
• @deebeedee fortunately we have a marriage where nothing will happen in Vegas that would NEED to stay in Vegas. So you’re right. #
• @deebeedee Thanks…..Stay tuned for updates. #
• @deebeedee BTW - everytime I see you tweet, I think of the "Buck Rodgers" TV show and crack a smile. #
• On the plane! We’re both excited now! #

• yay! Suzette got a Sony ebook reader for my birthday! #
• @iJimC I’ve been having trouble with Twitter all day too. #
• @aleighanne No…My birthday is the 26th. She gave it to me early so I could have it for the trip. #
• Installing iLife ‘08 on the MBP. #
• @badbadivy It’s a big purchase. Wait until you’re sure. #
• @JacobFriedline I live here. Some of the sisters run my parish’s school. I never knew they had a CD out. #
• @nekogal Sorry for the confusion. My birthday is still almost two weeks off. But I remember your greeting then. Thank you! #
• @aleighanne Yeah, lots of birthdays in August. It was real cold nine months earlier. #
• @nekogal Yep…You and Michael are the lucky ones. #
• Well, it looks like the ebook reader is now a brick. That’s what I get for trying to update the firmware. #
• Planning out the day. Lots to do, including return the bricked Sony eBook reader. #
• is listening to "TWiT 109: The Numinous From The Quotidian" by Leo Laporte and the TWiTs from "this WEEK in TECH - MP3 Edition" #
• Note to Leo and Patrick. The Rosary has 59 beads, not 108. #
• @BarbInNebraska I heard them say "Catholic"… #
• @BarbInNebraska Nah..Not tech related. Besides I think "Catholic" was used ina quoted line from Bull Durham anyway. #
• @Taquoriaan I’m not sure of a term for what you are describing. #
• I do know that any US citizen that server as an officer in a foreign military and/or in a military that is at war with US, (cont) #
• they risk loosing citizenship. #
• @halosfan huh? #
• @nekogal Oh….If only we had such "problems" in the US…. #
• @halosfan OIC #
• @halosfan Does that mean I’m a celebrity again? #
• OUt for errands. CompUSA better not give me any grief for a refund on the eBook reader. #
• @markfleser Yeah, we have two CompUSAs in the Nashville area. #
• We returned the eBook reader. The fact that it bricked the first time I plugged it into a comp was too much! #
• CompUSA accepted it as defective and tried to talk us into exchanging it. #
• @halosfan Yep…. #
• @bobm512z They "restocked" a bad power supply?!?!?!?! #
• Like I said though the guy at CompUSA tried really hard to get me to take an exchange. He tried to give the guilt trip. He tried and failed! #
• @Taquoriaan My surprise was not that they restocked a bad item, it was that they charged Bob a restocking fee on a bad item. #
• @bobm512z OIC…. That was slightly underhanded as well. They recommend something that does not fix your problem. THat should be on them! #
• @Taquoriaan It’s really only that was with high dollar items. I recall seeing that policy on anything except electronics. #
• GOLLY! It’s 105 in Memphis. A HUNDRED FIVE DEGREES! #
• I feel funny saying it, but it’s "only" 100 here in Gallatin. #
• @badbadivy Blog it….It’ll make you feel better and might keep someone else from feeling the same way, if you know what I mean. #
• @badbadivy No one will care about such things. They’ll focus on the rudeness. #
• @badbadivy I persoanlly don’t know if that’s high or low anyway….. #
• @JimFarley Piqua Ohio? #
• @Taquoriaan I recently read this book on American History and really enjoyed it. http://tinyurl.com/34yf7o #
• @soncy Yep…..I’m a Tennessee boy. #
• GUYS! Ya’ll need to leave Barb alone! A lady with a loaded dishwasher is no laughing matter! #
• @halosfan I need a copy of the plans for that "dish transporter beam to Nebraska" when you get a chance. DM me for my fax number. #
• So sad. There have been a total of 5 heat related deaths in Memphis…… #
• @Taquoriaan Sorry….Where i live "guys" can be gender neutral when it’s plural. #
