Manual-dial toaster oven makes nice ticky-ticky noise for 5 minutes. Would be nice if I had plugged it in.
Listening to the hellish sound of a hard drive eating itself for lunch. Good: it’s just video ripped from MiniHD. Bad: it took HOURS to rip.

When 15,439 people have reviewed the iPhone app before you, I’ll propose you aren’t going to have something unique to say. Just sayin.
Just told 6-year-old Max to use the corded phone - he picked it up and looked at it like it was an alien spaceship or something.
somewhere deep in Dura-Flame headquarters, there’s an evil soul laughing to himself, for his Fire Starter product is indeed fireproof
Snow, snow, snow! (oh, and reported 60 mph gusts on the slopes)
Sitting in the rain in Angel’s Camp, hoping that it’s snow by the time it hits the slopes!
If you belong to more than (say) a dozen groups on Flickr, I’m going to categorize you as (1) a photography fan, or (2) an attention whore
Up late lusting after Wacom tablets

Noticing that 1- and 2-star iPhone App Store reviews are a close analog to the reviewers’ soul or lack thereof.

i’ve got like seven great tweets about low-flow toilets, but alas, it’s TMI
Dear driver ahead of me going 30 mph: it’s ok to go 40 in a 40. Really. If you want a leisurely stroll, try getting out of your car.
People of earth: it’s ok to keep up with the car in front of you in traffic. Braking distance is measured on feet, not lightyears.

mobileme idisk hates me.

In a part of SF that has no GPRS and no Starbucks
must. stay. awake. (two days in a row of staying up late with my squeeze is now catching up with me)
trying to buy something on woot and it won’t let me :-(

no, google, when I type “eeepc”, I didn’t mean “eee pc”. ever. not today, not yesterday, not last week.
sweet, got a window seat and *two* empty seats next to me on my 10h20m flight; life = good
arrived SFO, in a car on the way home (not tweeting and driving, natch)
sometimes you forget the majesty of air travel; after 15 years of aisles, I’m doing window seats from now on
amazing expanses of Alaska that have no roads, quite unlike Europe or the US
Good grief this 747-400 is fast - if I’m not mistaken, we’re doing 874 feet per second
there is something eternally optimistic about looking out over the clouds at the setting sun in a jumbo jet

nice 45-min brisk walk across London (and back) to catch up with @moleitau at @dopplrhq - no better way to see a city than on foot
MobileMe syncing for the iDisk has completely lost its mind - without my changing any files, it’s given me 50-80 sync conflicts today.
if you were an American and got legitimately hit by a car in London, everyone and their brother would just assume you looked the wrong way
as one new to the concept of moisturizer, i find it highly incompatible with a freshly-shaved face.
wonderful dinner with rosemary o’mahony tonight in london … nothing beats reconnecting with old friends over a bottle of rioja
just saw that our 1967 Ford is one of the “most popular cars” on NYTimes’ classic car site: http://ad.vu/78va
arrived London, train to Victoria, tube to Embankment, walk to hotel, WiFi to nowhere, Ethernet cable to everywhere
the ironing board in my hotel room stands all of 27” off of the floor. i think i’m going to slip a disk or something. maybe i’ll kneel.
