What I Tweeted, 2009-07-19 Edition

My best and most-interesting tweets of the last week (including extensive skydiving coverage).

Read my tweets they happen by following me on Twitter.

Sunday

Well, I'm Not There was complete pap. Maybe if it had been a David Lynch film it would have seemed worth the toil of watching it. Sadly, not #
@drew YES. in reply to drew #
Elise and are are (if you can believe) debating which of us came closer to throwing our panties at Stone Thrown's lead singer last night. #
Mine were blue leopard print – definitely more impressive than hers. #
@DavidSpinks Ooo, must try! in reply to DavidSpinks #
@DavidSpinks Hmm. Dig the threads and inline links. If it would add good groups. If anyone would add good groups… in reply to DavidSpinks #
@deestbie Either crowd wasn't digging it or he was losing his voice. Although, honestly, I think it's the best finale song so far. in reply to deestbie #
@schmidtultra Care to share some details w/me tomorrow @blamethon? It's a way easier personal goal to achieve then having a six-pack. in reply to schmidtultra #
From Nat'l Geo, http://www.thegreenguide.com/ – guide to responsible buying of everything from sunscreen to flatscreens. #
@Katiemdesigns Wife is a big fan of that Eisley disc – was our default car CD for a long while. in reply to Katiemdesigns #
Why does it have to be such a freaking mystery to figure out which smart-phones officially/legally tether? #
Connected concern: Why must all official tech info be aimed at the LCD consumer? Just means smart ones have to do twice the research. Lame. #
@parkview Well, iPhone seems to, at least tacitly. Android, unofficially. Pre, specifically no, according to Sprint. in reply to parkview #
@iWIC3 Tethering is the blanket term for "phone as modem." Currently paying for broadband for my laptop; would rather bluetooth thru phone. in reply to iWIC3 #
@mandy_payne I cried at that routine. I don't love either of them, but it was definitely brilliant. in reply to mandy_payne #
@mandy_payne Did you see the Wade routine yet? I swear I am going to learn it. in reply to mandy_payne #
An hour of dilligent research reveals the PalPre does very little of what I want, while the Android is even BETTER/CHEAPER than I thought. #

Monday

AWESOME; met Lee on #12for12k RT @iggypintado @MaxMarkson Rumor that I'm Here by Sydney-based @leesafar will feature in next #Twilight film #
University renders itself in 8bits to draw students RT @ConversationAge The coolest University website ever http://ow.ly/h59d #
@johnhaydon I'm surprised at the absence of saved groups, as it's the killer feature of Twitter clients. TweetDeck maintains its lead. in reply to johnhaydon #
@johnhaydon I caught that. I think killer app must have easily compiled, cloud-based groups. No one does it yet (group feature weak on deck) in reply to johnhaydon #
@_djh @iggypintado I was have been remiss in loading my iPod w/some @leesafar, a situation I will surely remedy this evening. in reply to _djh #
Can we get them in other colors too? RT @drew RT @thropic They'reeee heeeeere (Official #BlameDrewsCancer T-Shirts) http://bit.ly/r8ATF #
@alohanico That's, like, the one that I love the most on that album. What's your top three outside of that? in reply to alohanico #
@eedawson @mandy_payne Um, I don't know that I've ever been to a wedding without carrying a flask, RC or othrwise. Except for maybe mine… in reply to eedawson #
Goodbye Sprint. Hello Android. #
Wow. T-Mobile rep went from web chat to phone to connecting me w/account services to problem fixed in <10min. I passed praise to her manager #
@johnhaydon I'll need to check out those as well. Always looking for a killer TwApp. in reply to johnhaydon #
@mandy_payne Android is the nickname of the Google phone. @ratedpeej Good to know. Thinking about buying the extended battery. Thoughts? #
Support Lance's return to Tour and #LIVESTRONG global cancer fight. Add wristband to your Twitter with 1-click – http://twcauses.com/ls/ #
SM peeps, take note of this killer post. I'll be re-reading later RT @Armano How to evaluate social media street cred http://twurl.nl/c02714 #
@dantebucci Was chatting local music with a total stranger this weekend and they out of the blue started talking about how awesome you are. #
Rocking the first Death Cab for Cutie LP. I'll never understand how their critical reception improves – the first 3 discs were their best. #
@johhnny5 While I think SAA/WHtF/tPA is one of the best ever trios of LPs, I am NOT a fan of Postal Service (even w/Jenny Lewis in it!). in reply to johhnny5 #
Radiohead sells the bonus tracks from deluxe In Rainbows as DLs. http://bit.ly/178FGX Enough time elapsed for deluxe buyers not to grumble? #
Being ridiculous in @amanda_nan's kitchen w/ @brimil. And proofreading. And shredding lettuce. But mostly being ridiculous. #
Um, BDC t-shirts in my favorite two colors COMING SOON. #
Take off creative brainstorm hat and non-profit details hat. Put on Project Manager hat. GO. #
@drew We all
#blamedrewscancer for your crap day and not getting to see you! Sleep well. Feel better. Stay awesome. in reply to drew #
Still project managing, and it's after midnight. I'm starting to develop a bit of a twitch, accompanied by more than a bit of a headache. #
If my brain were a computer we'd be installing a cooler, quieter fan. Like, ASAP. #

Tuesday

@brimil Dude, gmail tags are my lifesaver for BDC. We are a talkative bunch & I like an empty inbox. In other news, my phone arrived! in reply to brimil #
I love it when the "new toys" budget crosses over with the "stuff i need to survive" budget. #
@inflamatorywrit DITTO. Completely. in reply to inflamatorywrit #
T-Mobile reception in my house blows. Screen timeout during calls is moronic. As a phone I am not too impressed. #
@inflamatorywrit That's the only song from the album that made it on to my iPod. I'm using a solo Curtain Call and Lady In Blue. That's it. in reply to inflamatorywrit #
omg, now that i can tweet from my phone will any stone of my life go unturned? #
Trying not to get despondent that @twidroid refuses to show up in the Android Market for me. #
Jesus H. Christ on a bicycle, the voice search on the G1 is amazing. Between that & the bar code scanner I might actuall yl eave the house. #

Wednesday

Wow, check out my total absence from social networks today. It was pretty much a blur. #
Still can't seem to locate Twidroid in the Android Marketplace. Slightly grumpy. #
I #blamedrewscancer for my dozing off at 7pm, which means I also #blamedrewscancer for my being up at 1am doing #blamedrewscancer homework. #
@sethgoldstein Doesn't actually suck ;) I put on my project manager hat to draw lines to all of the awesome things people have thought up. in reply to sethgoldstein #
@glennwolf It's only fair to #blamedrewscancer when it is being so insidious as to tempt you away from homework with a social life :) in reply to glennwolf #
Email excellence class at work + evening nap + hours of being a PM in my
living room = insane 2am emails. To everyone. Can't. Stop. Typing. #
@HomeRecLibrary Still need to send you that email about syncing digital audio with video. in reply to HomeRecLibrary #
@Scott_Manesis I know I should, but it's hard for me to grasp/do not being in a mentor-oriented environment. Something I must do for myself. in reply to Scott_Manesis #
I live by this fantastic sane advice (I'll take all the help I can get) RT @take_lessons Secret Recipe for Vocal Health http://bit.ly/10nmmq #
@Scott_Manesis More building a career path than a biz, but still believe mentorship ought to be a part of it. Hesitant to commit, I guess? in reply to Scott_Manesis #

Thursday

Dude, @northstarbar is one of the smartest, plugged-in venues I've ever met with. Awesome to talk to music peeps living in a digital age. #
I'm beat. Work was hard core, & then I had a hard core BDC mtg w/ @mikeyil @schmidtultra @sarahcooley & @drew at the hard core @northstarbar #
Still unable to find @twidroid on my Android Marketplace. Help, anyone? I need a killer Twitter app for my phone. #
@ReallyBigThings I am having the same problem – can't find Twidroid through searching by name or keyword. in reply to ReallyBigThings #
@ratedpeej DLing it right now. Odd that it doesn't come up on a search for Twitter. in reply to ratedpeej #
@mandy_payne He totally saved Jason with that choreo – there was no way he was going to beat Kupono without getting a kickass routine. in reply to mandy_payne #
I think Randi peaked a little too early, but I wouldn't have been crushed if Melissa went instead – she's been a little stiff. #
@ratedpeej total win on this app . . . exactly what i needed! in reply to ratedpeej #

Friday

@CTK1 you need a personal lightning rod to just channel them all out of your head and into the ground in reply to CTK1 #
@schmidtultra i def want to fall out of a plane tomorrow, but i'm a more than a little bummed about missing @mandy_payne in reply to schmidtultra #
"open mic nite for chefs" is an awesome idea. RT @mandy_payne: Anyone? Anyone? http://openchefame.com/ in reply to mandy_payne #
@brimil you had better be falling out of that plane with me, young lady. in reply to brimil #
this thing is going to give me arthritis of the thumbs. #
@mandy_payne yeah, we finally made it out of the wedding season with our friends. last year was rife with them. in reply to mandy_payne #
pls note: that includes me RT @mikeyil: Who wants to jump out a plane with the #blamedrewscancer team tomorrow morning? #fb in reply to mikeyil #
@KharmaIsis haha, i was just going to tease you about our collective first world problems :) in reply to KharmaIsis #
@ratedpeej must reiterate my total love of twitterride! in reply to ratedpeej #
@brimil i think that's the job of the guys we have strapped to our backs? in reply to brimil #
leaping out of a plane in less than 24hrs. this is just now beginning to seem insane. #
@caroline815 tried to brainstorm a way that doesn't involve something slipping out of my hands & winding up as the center of a small crater in reply to caroline815 #
@anniemal if she was impossibly cute and near city hall i'm pretty sure that was my wife ;) in reply to anniemal #
my wife RT @anniemal: coffeeshop: He's been a doing a lot of work on #blamedrewscancer. I think he's jumping out of a plane w/them tomorrow. in reply to anniemal #
@caroline815 i think @amanda_nan will be covering it from the ground. in reply to caroline815 #
@TransitionalTee Seriously. i #blamedrewscancer for all manner of insanity i'm getting myself into this summer. in reply to TransitionalTee #
@mikeyil opportunity knocks, my friend, and it smells of gorditas in reply to mikeyil #
@SarahRobinson Anything unkown & vaguely terrifying is rarely obscuring a mediocre option, right? in reply to SarahRobinson #
@cathybpa Definitely much tweeting before and after. Still not sure how we could possibly tweet during… in reply to cathybpa #
@TacoBellTruck I hear you may be outside @northstarbar in Philly on 9/9/9 to battle cancer with tacos and take photos with a cutout of Lance in reply to TacoBellTruck #
Did you see any indie music this week? If not, fulfull your quota with the song I wrote on honeymoon in Paris http://bit.ly/XtK6b #
RT @DannyBrownFor new and existing bloggers – 68 ways to make your blog work for you http://dannybrown.me/XODG #
Scary; this happened at my (and E's) subway stop : http://bit.ly/WD0js (via @phillygrrl on @phawker http://tinyurl.com/m54q3d ) #
AWESOME! BDC tees have arrived – in red OR orange, $15, M-L-XL. DM @amanda_nan to order one. #blamedrewscancer that we don't have purple yet #
If the 1st run of t-shirts sells out in less than a week I will personally #blamedrewscancer until it relents & gives us purple shirts. #
RT @DannyBrown For new and existing bloggers – 68 ways to make your blog work for you http://dannybrown.me/XODG #
@eedawson seriously, this day must perish. it is my sworn enemy in reply to eedawson #
@cupcakie awesome! can't wait to hear about the brand and see you work in action! in reply to cupcakie #
RT @johhnny5: Philly: I am looking for suggestions on restaurants where you'd like to see an interview with their chef. Let's hear it! in reply to johhnny5 #
Tacos to defeat cancer RT @TacoBellTruck overwhelmed by the demand out of Philly. It’s official, we’ll B feeding the @blameathon on 9/9! #
Real or imagined? If the latter, telekinesis. RT @johnhaydon If you could wake up tomorrow having gained one ability, what would it be? in reply to johnhaydon #
@ericasbs The @tacobelltruck is apparently on a non-stop national tour fueled solely by love of giving away tacos. Hopefully some sans meat. in reply to ericasbs #
@wagnerxm Certainly not stand up and walk out on you, that's for sure. in reply to wagnerxm #
I #blamedrewscancer for my sudden grump. You know what will fix that? Jumping out of a plane with @drew @mikeyil @britt & @schmidtultra #
@theresacho So, are you the jeweler who is actually doing wax molds et al behind the scenes? Or, are you a gemologist or similar? in reply to theresacho #
Referencing text books, LP research, and IBC writing guides for one of my BDC tasks of the night. Just goes to show you, skills are portable #
Okay, time to take the "lap" out of laptop computer, before future babymaking abilities begin to be effected. #
Tony Hawk will do anything to incent charity – from a skate date to baking cinnamon rolls! Hilarious. http://bit.ly/10YYpv (via @Lefsetz) #
@anniemal Codeine has proven about as useful as a painkiller for me as M&Ms. Reese's Pieces preferable to both. in reply to anniemal #

Saturday

T-minus 5hrs until freefalling with a stranger strapped to my back. Biggest concern at the moment: Is Special K a good pre-jump breakfast? #
@inflamatorywrit 'Cause nothing keeps nerves at bay like a bit of Christ and some jager :) in reply to inflamatorywrit #
I #blamedrewscancer that @mandy_payne can't jump out of a plane today w/ @brimil @drew @mikeyil @schmidtultra and I. Stupid cancer. #
@johhnny5 I've discovered that my typical portion of Special K is actually over 600 calories – so, not much for weight control. in reply to johhnny5 #
En route to skydive w/our ground control, @amanda_nan. #
@StephieMay thanks stephie! I'm past nervous to crazy excited. But I should probably stop eating sometime soon. in reply to StephieMay #
@drew we're, like, 2 miles away in reply to drew #
We turned the wrong way and started headed away from the airport, possibly b/c me + @amanda_nan are 2 expert yammerers. Back en route. #
Also, l and r are apparently interchangeable in @amanda_nan's handwriting. #
Android phone gpa saves the day. That was krisis/nan fail #
We #blamedrewscancer for our poor navigation skills. #
@johhnny5 14.5k is what I'm hearing in reply to johhnny5 #
@amanda_nan hey, I'm the one who had a compass and actually found it ;) in reply to amanda_nan #
@SarahRobinson was thinking of you on the prior post – how after the first step out of mediocrity sometimes gravity will take over for you. in reply to SarahRobinson #
Well, I just paid, so SOMETHING is getting tossed out of this freaking plane. #
Now we wait for two more planes to expel jumpers. Dude, there is no door on the plane. There is a hole with plexiglass over it. #
LOL @amanda_nan: How high can you jump before you pass out? @mikeyil: Until the internet gets too thin." "Um, I think you mean 'atmosphere'" #
Meanwhile. after a morning of navigating by G1 I keep mashing the "update" button on my laptop screen to try to post. #
I just dropped an f-bomb on an official BDC video and called real-life "touching space." I #blamedrewscancer for my lack of sanity. #
Chilling with the excellent @sarahcooley talking diamond shopping. #
@IHSS I am hearing all about the IHSS experience! When I shopped at your competitor down the road I did not get beer :) in reply to IHSS #
@theresacho I think A-list on Twitter might qualify as being an extra on Life on the D-list ;) in reply to theresacho #
Awesome. #
Alive and thrilled. Landed ass-first in a puddle of mud. In case you were wondering, I #blamedrewscancer #
First concern after skydiving? "Um, I think my hair turned out okay. It's okay, right?" #
@mandy_payne I am buying another jump RIGHT NOW. in reply to mandy_payne #
@PhillyBossLady it was totally awesome. And, weirdly really relaxing. in reply to PhillyBossLady #
Pre-jump: http://twitpic.com/as71u #
@mandy_payne indeed I did. But, I misunderstood my directions so I was pretty chill on the video. I thought he was telling me not to flail. in reply to mandy_payne #
The first thing I do on camera after jumping out of the plane is throw rock signs. Because I am awesome. #
Also hilarious, mid-flight, "[looking up] Did I get the pink 'chute? I did ask for the most glam one you have." #
Other highlights included my ridiculous chillness all of my interviews and how badass I looked in my harness. #
@SarahRobinson It was completely awesome. One of the most calming, centering experiences I've ever had. in reply to SarahRobinson #
Thanks to all who @'ed about our #blamedrewscancer skydiving trip! @schmidtultra @mikeyil & I are going back soon to jump again. Come with? #
@marenhogan I'm all about in-mouth dessert sundaes. Why let the dish see all the action? in reply to marenhogan #
@mikeyil I totally understand the flying squirrel comment now. in reply to mikeyil #
Freefalling, throwing rock signs: http://bit.ly/16Hptg #
What's powerful for me is that @Drew won't let cancer win – he lives boldly & we were were bold with him! #Blamedrewscancer until it's gone. #
@laermer First thing I do when shopping for a phone is see how easy it is to make it vibrate or go totally silent. in reply to laermer #
Now I'm like, damn, why didn't I vogue in the skydiving photos? Opportunity missed. #
Note to self: frying fish is not a pantsless activity. #
@schmidtultra What was that awesome song @drew was playing on his iPhone? #
At philly geek party, 1600 arch, tir na nog. No cover, great space, too many tweeps to @ #
Pssst, the dance party is all 80s. I mean, hello, geeks, 80s. #
Bdc crew (and brand new box of awesome tshirts) migrating to buckhead saloon momentarily. #
RT @amanda_nan: Holy hell! $160 between donations and t-shirt sales in one night! #blamedrewscancer team is blown away over here! in reply to amanda_nan #
RT @mikeyil: thx 2 @phillygeekparty for helping us raise $100+ this evening!!! now onto @buckhead_philly in reply to mikeyil #
Obscene dance party at buckhead. Oh my. #
Tomorrow somewhere on the internet there will be a photo of me bent over on the dance floor by a woman three times my size. #
@RobertBinford This definitely approached best-day-ever status. Possibly the best-day-ever not related to the process of getting married. in reply to RobertBinford #
@djdeejay Can't believe I missed out on your M/MJ/P party last night; I will surely catch the next one. in reply to djdeejay #
Not only had fun, but raised awareness for LiveStrong all day! RT @LIVESTRONGCEO Just checked out some photos from @drew & the skydive! Wow! #
In 1998 I skipped school to camp out outside the Electric Factory to see my fav band, Garbage. I met them & was the 1st person in the venue. #

Today

I love when local news leads with stories of animals terrorizing the community (@parkview). #
Definitely brilliant, funny, provoking. @ErikaJL I might be wrong here, but, I think, this might be brilliant, you know? http://bit.ly/eTSHe #
I @blamedrewscancer for the barking dog chorus of Greenwich St., who woke me up at least 2hrs before I was due. #
Do you #blamedrewscancer? It's not an in-joke, it's a movement to raise awareness & BEAT cancer. Watch @ http://blamedrewscancer.com #
I also #blamedrewscancer for having a hangover headache despite not even looking at an alcoholic beverage yesterday, let alone drinking one. #
Charming – ATM out of cash still charged my account as if it dispensed money to me. Just what I want to be dealing with right now. #
Kudos to Citizens Bank – got someone on the phone to initiate a dispute on a Sunday at 4pm. That's pretty solid customer service. #
@sethsimonds What a question. It depends on context. When project managing it's more flow; when blogging or songwriting it's more source. in reply to sethsimonds #
Fantastic post on Mashable earlier this week on the 5 SM biz models that work, with examples & interviews for each http://bit.ly/3welcz #
Wow. Play StreetFighter 2 on YouTube. Sortof. Really cool. http://bit.ly/TVEWf #
Need to break free of the Twitter hypnosis and get a few things done before the weekend draws to a close. #
