Awake way too early from the noise in the gutters. 07:46 RT some folks: Don't u hate ppl who tweet witty, funny and/or interesting things you cant RT cos they used up 140 characters? [Yeah, I do.] 08:24 Justice we can believe in: Birther nutbar (yeah, I know it's redundant) Orly Taitz fined $20k in 43 page court order. http://bit.ly/JrSAO 08:27 PWC report on how Baucus health care bill will raise premiums admits it ignored parts of the bill that lower premiums. http://bit.ly/hfRqP 08:32 RT @barryeisler: RT @AlterNet: Rush Limbaugh claims he spawned Glenn Beck http://bit.ly/qCRb8 [Do I dare ask who the mother was?] 13:49 Shoots for today: 2. Shooting accomplished: 0. It's raining on my parade... 14:02 RT @barryeisler: Looking for a great children's book? Buying, Training, and Caring for Your Pet Dinosaur! http://bit.ly/xuUJV 16:07 Sitting in the dentist chair. X-rays done; now for the fun part. 19:03 Dentist visit was fairly painless. Finding a bubble fogger less so; had to drive all over to get one, in rain addled traffic. Home now. 19:21 Thriller writer @JAKonrath on the economics of ebooks for a midlist author. Interesting & revealing. http://bit.ly/xNzf 21:07 RT @counternotions: "Attack on Moon Proves Scientists Will Do Anything for a Drink." (So true.) ]]> /cgi-sys/cgiwrap/shiffman/DisorderlyComment.cgi?storypath=/tweet/1004 http://www.disordered.org/Content.cgi/tweet/1003.html 10:02 A Canon shooter I know claims Nikon's superior autofocus only matters with amateurs, 'cuz pros can fix the focus in Photoshop... tweet Hank 2009-10-13T01:05-08:00 10:02 A Canon shooter I know claims Nikon's superior autofocus only matters with amateurs, 'cuz pros can fix the focus in Photoshop. What rubbish! 10:04 RT @reduced: If ur not listening to RSC Podcast, at least listen to The Bugle http://bit.ly/XmHu [Both are on my playlist.] 10:25 I didn't know that! Google's PageRank is named after founder Larry Page, not the page being ranked. http://bit.ly/v0vwp 15:19 Visitors dropped off at SFO. Now I'm doing laundry, so I can pack for my AZ Shootout trip. 17:13 Was the Sidekick disaster sabotage? Roughly Drafted certainly thinks so. http://bit.ly/52U2N 20:33 Holy crap! They really made a website for tonight's #himym! http://itwasthebestnightever.com/ 22:00 @kobeatl Go with funny. We know you can do sexy. ]]> /cgi-sys/cgiwrap/shiffman/DisorderlyComment.cgi?storypath=/tweet/1003 http://www.disordered.org/Content.cgi/tweet/1002.html 00:32 Home after a nice party at Rich's... tweet Hank 2009-10-12T01:05-08:00 00:32 Home after a nice party at Rich's. Sleep soon, I hope. 00:41 Advocates of cloud computing must cringe at the story of Danger, the Microsoft-owned smartphone that lost all their users' data. Oopsy. 09:14 @VictoriaDahl And even if you call it Global Warming, that doesn't deny the possibility of periods of local cooling. Trends have outliers. 23:13 For the record, there has never been a substantiated case of a kid hurt by doctored Halloween candy. Ever. http://bit.ly/3g0pGI ]]> /cgi-sys/cgiwrap/shiffman/DisorderlyComment.cgi?storypath=/tweet/1002 http://www.disordered.org/Content.cgi/tweet/1001.html 11:25 Somebody please explain the appeal of truck nuts... tweet Hank 2009-10-11T01:05-08:00 11:25 Somebody please explain the appeal of truck nuts. On a Civic? 11:51 Picked up good beer for Rich's party tonight. Now to meet with the gang for today's shoot. 15:26 In the studio, waiting to get started. 16:59 Two hours in, and not a shot has been fired. 18:44 Took us a while, but we've been doing some good work. ]]> /cgi-sys/cgiwrap/shiffman/DisorderlyComment.cgi?storypath=/tweet/1001 http://www.disordered.org/Content.cgi/tweet/1000.html 07:59 President Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize... tweet Hank 2009-10-10T01:05-08:00 07:59 President Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize? Bet the Bush people are fuming right about now. 10:23 Back from an emergency run to SFO. Now for some breakfast. 14:19 @daynal Any time, Dayna. And any place. 14:58 An HDR from last night's SF shoot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/disorderly/3996692082/ 14:59 @daynal Given half a chance? Yeah, you betcha. 15:00 @KateRothwell The airport. Two friends who came in for the weekend hadn't arranged to be picked up. And I'm the one who answered the call. 15:00 @Emeraldcity3 Not sure, Jean. Could just have been a giant middle finger to the last guy. 15:15 @Emeraldcity3 All I can think of is that he's pushing back on Israel and talking about reducing nukes. Both are big changes. 15:39 @Emeraldcity3 Which is why I come back to the middle finger. Just being not GWB may have been enough for them. Although I wish he were more. 16:14 Not that it matters, but Nobel selection happens months after the nominations. It's a lengthy process. http://bit.ly/4alQ7y ]]> /cgi-sys/cgiwrap/shiffman/DisorderlyComment.cgi?storypath=/tweet/1000
