StatusMy jury duty has no power plugs--I think it's intentional. No mileage and free parking I understand, but at least give me juice!

Status@mdoherty83 Yeah sucks--looks like all the upcoming stuff is on software too :/ Bah.

StatusAnyone else find it odd Nintendo is still promoting Nintendogs so heavily in its girl-centric DS Lite ads? That game is 3 years old!

Status@tranita Hah, I am going for jury duty I swear! I'm. Not pulling a James Karl Buck...

StatusOh god, just realized how far jury duty is from my house. You think they could have sent me to one of the other 5 spots within 20 miles

Status@miguel23 you're an animal man. I lost 2 lbs. after swimming this past weekend too, but it was my breakfast saying hello again o_O

StatusI loathe the need to put in my iTunes password for app updates. Purchases I get, but freebies and updates should not require it.

Status@amurphy $600? I found a way to get the new 80GB one for $250 with a free game of my choice or an extra controller :D

Status@innonate That is nerdy on such a high level.

StatusBuying a PS3 this week. Somebody talk me out of it :)

StatusAnnnnd we just hit the same traffic as we would have if she spent 5 minutes waiting to merge six miles ago. What an idiot.

StatusReally funny when people try to skip traffic to the bay bridge on ramp by cutting through Oakland..and by funny I mean "F you I have work."

StatusIf Apple was serious about apps being business-oriented it would use a pop up msg. for a call instead of exiting you from the application.

StatusTonight's mission. Be uncharted. I don't know if I can do it in 4 hours. http://tinyurl.com/6do7sx

Status@centernetworks Oh yeah that. We've been testing it for a couple of months. Dig in, tear away :)

Status@centernetworks Where?

StatusI think the FriendFeed post I just put up was the first time I used the word "abomination" outside of casual discussion.

Status@tico24 Cocoa ain't easy--good luck.

StatusFree million $ iPhone developer idea from me to you: make an app that lets me fake break the screen, complete with shatter sounds. iWill buy

StatusHaven't seen the bay bridge backed up like this in months--at least not at this hour.

StatusMorning news program's hook to get you through the ad break: Michelle Obama's favorite food and "something she does every day."

StatusWow, Declan's Joe Biden story is a must-read. If you haven't it's worth the time to chew on. http://bit.ly/biden

StatusShutdown/hybernate/close app when torrent completes is my favorite feature on uTorrent. That and the whole downloading part...

StatusAhh, so the Netflix Blu-Ray fee started on the 1st...that would explain it. Still a bargain compared to buying one of those discs.

StatusGood software gets updates. Great software updates itself.

StatusUh when did Netflix start charging $1 more a month to be able to rent Blu-Ray discs? Did not have this two weeks ago.

StatusIf you're looking to get free BART on your iPhone iBART just came out and it's free :)

StatusSo much for Obama letting me know who he was picking via SMS.

StatusJust had a great slice and a pint at Lane Splitters in smOakland. It's a combo on par with pippen & jordan, except with less sweat.

StatusTotally picking up swimming again. Was varsity back in HS and haven't gone back to do it since.

StatusThe Internet has not proven to be a valuable resource in getting obscure questions answered today. It's pretty disappointing.

StatusI hope more than anything this is real: http://www.vimeo.com/1496857 because it's awesome.

StatusFriend just sent me a pic of an office prank he's doing on his co-worker involving several hundred cups, 20 gallons of water + super glue

StatusI seriously hate it when I get pitches for companies that are live and open, but don't want to be covered until a certain date. Bad PR.

Status@18percentgrey Yeah I've done that in the past, but the laces get too tight and they're already properly snug (until the canvas wears in)

StatusAnyone ever tried to rip the insoles out of a pair of converse? Will it destroy them? About to pop in some insoles...

StatusI would like to see future versions of the iPhone firmware be able to do a system software update over the air/WiFi sans PC. Let's untether!

Statushttp://yougotblurred.com/ --possibly NSFW, but awesome.

Status@mager I'd be crying too if I had to eat at that place. Their sangria tastes like pepto bismol.

StatusJust had my first bad carpool experience. Dude refused to turn the air on and gave me shit for rolling down the window...

StatusEOD for Mr. Lowensohn. You know it's time to close shop when the company kegs go dry :(

StatusComing to the sad realization that this pair of shoes I've had for years will never get broken in...they're just plain uncomfortable.

Status@marshallk This dude: http://internetjogging.com/

StatusWas about to install the homebrew version of Twitter for the DS then looked at the instructions which look like a pilot's manual. Blech.

StatusI hate it when eBay buyers take their sweet time getting around to making a payment. Not that hard to fill out that info and get it moving.

Status@robb Yeah--let's do that this weekend. Lemme know what your budget is. You want a 65" plasma yes?

StatusGuy in my carpool just stuck his 5G iPod into his pocket with keys. The technology lover in me just cringed.

StatusOh man the description on sellout.woot.com tonight is so amazing. Those guys totally bring it. Not a bad deal for a TN panel.

Status@acedtect get Meredith Vieira to dress like an adult?

Status@acidicsoda That worked for a minute then stopped. Rebooting modem/router did it though. Strange considering laptop got the signal fine :s

StatusiPhone not picking up my home wifi any more...how annoying.

StatusSitting down to play some geo wars. It's totally the donkey kong if my generation.

StatusI definitely need to invest in a panini machine. Cooking sandwiches in a sauté pan is not time efficient. http://snipurl.com/3i9cr

Status@joeywan I hope they didn't take your purse ;)

StatusThat "awesome thing" I was alluding to earlier this week has gone live. See our story here: http://bit.ly/MqJXD

StatusJust bought Koi Pond after watching this: http://tinyurl.com/5kdkp3

StatusFacebook applications are just not cool anymore. When someone e-mails me about their new Facebook app I yawn. Show me a new one that's cool.

StatusUPS didn't deliver my package today because they had my address wrong. Called them up & they had it right. Delivering again tomorrow. WTF.

StatusMight pick up the drake's fortune PS3 bundle when I'm in Portland in November.160GB sounds pretty sweet.

Status@ryanblock nice work. Loads fast over EDGE.

StatusIs it just me or does this month's issue of Wired have a much larger amount of full page advertising than usual? It's almost all ads...

StatusA sign of a good teeth cleaning is that your mouth feels like it's gone 10 rounds with Ali and lost. Uhg.

StatusMy dentist overbooked patients this morning. Three of us here for a 9:15 and only one person working. Looks like it's time to swap docs.

StatusJust finally got to see something that took 6 hours to upload and process go live. It is so awesome and I cannot wait to show it to you all.

StatusPrevious tenant got a mystery package of nutracuticals delivered here today. I soooo want to open it, but the nice guy in me is sending back

StatusUhg, is it really impossible to embed an MSN Soapbox video? Good lord.

Status@joeljohnson Just don't get that stuff on gym shorts. It pretty much never comes off. Long story on why I know that.

StatusPossibly just got SARS from the swag Rafe brought back to the office today.

StatusScoring a seat in a 2008 Mercedes for casual carpool is like Christmas.

StatusI wonder how long it takes before someone finds a wife/husband from a location-based iPhone app. It's probably already happened.

StatusUh wow, also just got 1 bar + EDGE in 12th street Oakland BART station. Now that's an iPhone first! Never even gotten service in there be4.

Status2.0.2 a marked improvement over 2.0.1 when it comes to picking up networks. Just passed the out of the transbay tunnel test w/flying colors.

StatusAwesome, my Gamevee story got linked on Bungie's blog, which is about 7x cooler than getting on social news sites: http://bit.ly/40wpaX :D

StatusBungie.net and the iPhone just do not mix. I think there's too much javascript goodness in one place unfortunately.

StatusAwesome in hindsight: gently wiping your nose and getting a mammoth nosebleed as a result. Double points if you're in the shower o_O

StatusJust picked up Dashbuster on the app store for $.99. It's on sale down from $5 today only. It's funny devs can do that but not update :/

Status@pairofbrowneyes 4!? It reaches 11 when it rolls over and starts mewing.

StatusHad my taste of the outdoors today. About to sit down to the task at hand: beating my friends' impossibly high Geo Wars 2 scores }:D

StatusCuteness factor 11 http://snipurl.com/3gzli

StatusAmazing dusty car graffiti in parking lot sez: "I wish my girlfriend was this dirty." Classic.

StatusAm I the only one who didn't like Tropic Thunder? Surprised to see so many big time reviewers giving it a insanely good reviews.

StatusNeighbor cat loves to tear up our welcome mat on the weekends. I'd be pissed if it wasn't so damn cute. http://snipurl.com/3gwql

StatusSynchronized swimming is awesome.

StatusCan someone convince me the benefit of asymetrical headphone cords? My new pair has them and it's bloody annoying.

StatusSangria at lunch has made this blogger rather sleepy. Must...stay..awake.

StatusSome of the video stuff they're doing up at the University of Washington is blowing my mind.

Status@marshallk Try VLC :D

StatusI need to take BART at 8 pm more often. It's downright civilized. I am wearing a hoodie and not breaking a sweat.

StatusWell, 3 iPhones later we found one without the manufacturing defect that was on the one I got. Looks like QC has gone out the door.

StatusOh yeah, and that's assuming it's not accidental damage/loss/theft.

StatusMy friend wants to know if having AppleCare for the iPhone means you pay less for a brand new replacement phone than you would otherwise...

StatusI am ranked 10,499 in the world at Deadline in Geo Wars 2. How about you? http://bit.ly/3HsXp7

StatusOh man. The Mac 101 session at the apple store is embarassingly basic. Guy just showed how to drag and drop into the trash can.

StatusJust posted something on Schmap's free mobile contact optimizer. Was fun to put it on my own blog--a little slow though.

StatusOff to the Apple store (again). Hoping to have a better experience than yesterday--and to not have to come back.

StatusJust introduced @coopeydoop to Fluther to help him answer a question I didn't know. See if you can help him out: http://bit.ly/24Me78

StatusThe office mysteriously began to smell like Fruit Loops a moment ago. I wonder if we're being attacked by toucanerrorists.

StatusUgh, Vimeo's upload is not working right now. I don't want to upload it somewhere else.

Status3G issues with old iPhone might have been the hardware. Getting better reception with #2!

StatusIf you were to tell any other company its product had a defect out of the box it would want to be fixed right away. Not Apple apparently.

StatusGood: got a replacement iPhone no questions asked. Bad: there is metal sticking out on the bezel and it just scratched my face...

StatusMy god never mind. This site's got a game for each event! http://2008drinkinggames.com/ My work here is done.

StatusLentil soup at Soup Freaks totally pwns SF Soup's. The $5 side salad however does no impress.

StatusI'm putting together a 2008 Olympics drinking game. If anyone has suggestions feel free to PM or reply.

StatusContemplating de-linking Last.fm from my FriendFeed account. I don't want anyone to know I secretly like some of these songs.

StatusDon't ask me why but I was searching for "bed bath beyond family guy" on YouTube and the results are downright pornographic. Thanks YouTube.

StatusConspiracy theory: Pop-Tarts found in vending machines are stronger than the ones sold in stores. Today's survived a 2 foot drop unscathed!

Status@Seeger Bad coffee is a speed bump on the road to happiness.

StatusOkay I take back everything I said about Badaboom. It leaves a 100 pixel wide square watermark on your videos. Boo.

Status@eriklindstrom Yeah, I've got about 50 on mine. I tend to do a lot of testing in my line of work. I thought they had resolved that though.

Statusimpressed with Badaboom so far. It's ripping season one of Twin Peaks at ~200 fps. Not too shabby!

StatusAnyone still getting slow backup times with their iPhone after 2.0.1? I'm just syncing up for the first time since and it's taken 3+ hours.

StatusMmmm, downloading sweet Nvidia driver and PhysX demo goodness. It's a good day to be a PC owner.

Status@Zanoryt it's unfortunately true. Just sucks when you're going in for something they could fix in 10 minutes and there's a 2 hour wait.

StatusI miss the days where you could walk into an Apple store and get genius bar service in 5 minutes. SF store is an utter joke.

Status@robb I was hoping that was going to be a Barackroll. So disappointed right now.

StatusIn this song (http://bit.ly/4e3Hie) there's a sound in the first third that sounds exactly like an SMS alert on my old phone. Wigs me out.

StatusI might not have mentioned this before, but I have a total hadron collider for PDFmeNot. I'm not just a blogger, I'm a user.

Status@acedtect They just need to put iCal and Mail in one app. Does not seem that hard to me. Outlook's been doing it for years.

StatusOh cool, didn't realize swimmer Natalie Couglin was a Cal alum. Way to go on that gold medal.

Status@mager You live with my girlfriend?

StatusWhy don't we have Phelps race an actual shark in 2012. That seems easier.

StatusWhat business do you think Threadless will get into next? I'm thinking aluminum water bottles. That seems trendy enough

StatusHow come the iPhone version of Safari doesn't have Snapback? It's one of the features in big version that's more useful on mobile devices.

StatusI cannot wait to see Jon Stewart rail on Bush at the Olympics yesterday. It will be so good.

Statuslollers @peterrojas. You don't want to know why it went down?

StatusOlympics on the Web does not excite me. I'd take glorious high definition footage on a 40+ inch screen any day.

StatusGetting reports of MobileMe's Web mail going down for a bunch of folks again. Is yours working?

Status@robb Well, I dunno man. I rarely want just a bit of ketchup--it must be in mass quantities to do the job.

StatusIn the musings of one of my genius high school classmates Padric, I too often wonder why ketchup packets are not 4x their normal size.

StatusLooks like today is going to be a headphone day. The construction cacophony going on next door is melting my brain.

StatusDid gas hit $5 again? Was in casual carpool line for 25 minutes before a car came. Must have been a rough weekend for east bayers.

StatusUhhh no way are these Chinese gymnists 16 years old. They look 12...maybe.

Status@robb Anything by Hannah Montana. Oh wait, you wanted the best...

StatusThreat level app now free on the app store. Still tacky.

Status@mager It's the "redeem team" now. Let the PR seep into your skin.

StatusIf George is hanging out in China watching the Olympics does that mean Cheney is in charge?

StatusBear Grylls is kind of an a-hole, always killing animals (head first) when you know he's got a box of powerbars with his 5-person crew.

StatusNeed coffee to function today. The sweet sounds of farmer's market woke me up at 6 :\

StatusThe smog in Beijing looks like SF fog. Yuck.

StatusDare I say it...EDGE is not that bad. It's not as fast, but it's very reliable and goes more than 5' inside buildings.

StatusBlu-Ray--it's here! How unimaginative. http://snipurl.com/3drpy

StatusBay Street upped its already ridiculous parking fees by 200%. This is Emeryville, not New York guys.

StatusWoot, the power outlet in my car mysteriously works again!

StatusLate lunch. OM NOM NOM http://snipurl.com/3dox7

StatusDamn, nearly all my Geowars 2 high scores beaten by friends on XBOX Live. Must beat them...

StatusChina wins the gold for best opening ceremonies evar. 100 yard LED screens ftw.

StatusNo 3G coverage in Westfield. This place must be built like a bunker.

StatusIf you're in SF and want an iPhone you can pick one up with no wait at the AT&T kiosk in Westfield center.

Status@firefox_answers I disabled everything. It's running fine in safe mode, but will crash in reg. mode even with everything turned off o_O

StatusMixt Greens is one of my new favorite SOMA eateries. Yeah you're paying $11 for a salad, but the service + ingredients are five stars.

Status@robb Sure. I'd do one on "Why Django Reinhardt is 18x sexier than Django the web application framework"

StatusUsing Safari today b/c FF3 is being crashtacular (all add-ons turned off btw). The "X" tab close buttons on the left side confuses me.

Status@fimoculous "THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN!"

StatusCrashtacular today. Windows Explorer died on me...that hasn't happened to me in a while. Short of the BSOD it's total Windows FAYL.

StatusFirefox crashing continuously and just started up looking like this. Ruh roh Rorge. http://bit.ly/3dM2Vi

StatusThe gizmodo commenters who have figured out how to make their comment look phallic amaze me. That's damn creative (http://bit.ly/3XDlsV)

StatusWow, Uncharted very fun so far although the motion sensitivity in the controller is super gimmicky. I feel like Indiana Jones...

StatusJust swapped an embedded Viddler video with a lesser quality YouTube one for the sake of iPhone readers.

Status@Poshy Might as well rent a U-haul. It'll only cost you $45 if you're deal-savvy and drive carefully.

StatusUploaded a 2 minute video to YouTube over an hour ago and it's still processing. Only took 5 minutes on Viddler. How unacceptable.

StatusThey only did it once though o_o

StatusWell, I don't feel so bad about the JaJah thing anymore, looks like ReadWriteWeb pulled an extra H too.

StatusFact check/sense is disabled in my brain today.Totally slaughtered spelling on JaJah in my post and on my video. Re-uploading now. D'oh.

StatusJust noticed those cheesy Classmates.com ads have started vibrating to get your attention. On a side note, my ex-gf's mom was in their ads.

StatusOh weird, the iPhone slightly lowers volume of music when you get an e-mail or text notification...that's annoying.

Status@DIGIT69 yeah, so far so good. Feels like Tomb Raider meets Gears of War with a little Indiana Jones (pre CGI groundhogs) thrown in.

StatusSitting down to play Uncharted. I like it already.

StatusGrabbing some Cactus tacos in Rockridge. Err taco
