- 12:47 @nationelectric It does seem well-suited to this purpose... #
- 22:28 @somerled Good one! (It probably *is* meant as a compliment, but ...) #

- 14:51 @fadeaccompli My MacBook is set to percentage, always. If I'm curious, I'll click the little menu icon and see how much it claims to have. #

- 19:31 @Sugarwilla Tired! But on the bright side, my MATLAB code is coming out all loverly. :) #
- 19:33 @RobertGirandola You think they aren't going there already? The Lincoln/Douglass debates had hour-long rounds, and look were we are now! #
- 19:48 @Sugarwilla That's a pretty cool track! #

- 10:15 @RobertGirandola Hey, I think I heard something about that! #
- 15:44 A word for you all: rip-rap. Large rocks lining the banks of a stream to reduce erosion. #
- 21:38 Oh man, how much have I been missing by listening to music on my headphones at reasonable volumes? Intro on "Radio Free Europe", for one! #
- 22:33 @Sugarwilla You can add "in bed" to the end of hymn titles, too! community.livejournal.com/metaquotes/6994557.html #

- 13:14 Lovely weather: yesterday's snow now has a smooth crust. Had to break with my shoeheel to get down the hill. Not looking forward to back up. #
- 22:39 Hmm - I don't get what it is about The Shins' "Gone For Good", but I feel like it is much less boring than it sounds ... somehow... #

- 16:59 I've become amazingly indifferent to old Simon & Garfunkel songs. I remember when "Leaves That Are Green" and "Kathy's Song" were favorites. #
- 00:06 @peterchayward Aw *sweet!* I haven't played the Grow games in ages! #
- 00:08 Re old Simon & Garfunkel: I don't remember your first two, but of course "Sounds of Silence" - also "I Am A Rock". I just lost a few faves. #

- 15:02 @punkybird It be cool. #
- 15:05 Tracy Chapman just rocks me so hard, I don't even understand it. There can't be one in a million vocalists who can touch her. #
- 22:09 @peterchayward That would be an awesome superpower. What would you call that? #

- 17:53 Just finished the second book of Leo Frankowski's Conrad Stargard series. Rarely is a good book followed by a truly superb one. I recommend. #
- 17:55 (I warn the reader, though - there is a certain element of OH JOHN RINGO NO in the series, especially in Book 1, "The Cross Time Engineer".) #

- 12:32 Watched the speech - was not extraordinary, in my book, but good nonetheless. Hope he does a good job. #

- 12:45 Re @Sugarwilla several posts ago: Firefox on my Mac has a very repeatable error, but I don't know if it's the core browser or some add-on. #
- 19:59 Oh, man - The Daily Show with Jon Stewart's Various Horrified Expressions is my second-favorite TV show of all time. I am totally not lying. #
- 20:25 "So you're suggesting, if I may ... that to buy copies of 'Danger Hour' ... is to solve the middle-east crisis." Love this show! #

- 07:51 @sereneworx Y'know, I've long suspected that Star Trek is actually just another variation of The Twilight Zone, only with a framing device. #
- 20:36 @punkybird Crap on a crutch - that's Wikipedia, right there, at it's inclusionist best. Wow. #

So, just out of curiosity...
[Poll #1331652]
Feel free to elaborate in comments, natch.
EDIT: If I did it right, it should be posting to a "twitter" filter - tell me if you want on it.

- 10:43 In thirteen days is Lewis Carroll's 177th birthday. You know what that means: Rabbit Hole Day! crisper.livejournal.com/192670.html #
- 10:53 @kirabug ...wait, I mixed up my Celsius and Fahrenheit - it's 30 degrees, so I only need another 30 down here. #
- 11:42 Finally got the right artist for my Pandora station, and it's Melissa Etheridge. Who'da thunk? *listening to Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car"* #
- 12:28 What do you call it when you're familiar with the CoverVersion, and then you hear ... uh, CoveredUp version? (All links to TVTropes.org.) #
- 19:27 @tvtropes ReCovered? Hey, that could work! #
- 20:00 @Sugarwilla America isn't bad - I'm not a fan, but I usually enjoy their songs when they come up on the radio or on shuffle. #
- 20:42 @Sugarwilla Doing OK - you? #

- 16:04 @fadeaccompli ...do you realize I can't remember a single time I've eaten cinnamon toast? #
- 19:31 @fadeaccompli Should I switch back to the official build from NeoOffice? I like how the latter runs without needing to start X11. #
- 19:33 @hmmm_tea Good grief, how did that happen? #
- 20:31 Via the incredible Peter C. "the_zaniak" Hayward: "Validation"! tinyurl.com/5r2g8p #
- 23:40 I, like most pretentious people, long said that I liked songs with complex lyrics. Then I became an Alanis Morissette fan. So much for that. #
- 23:51 @Sugarwilla A lot of pop-rock, with excursions into the jazz, R&B, folk, electronic, punk, alternative, romantic, and modern genres. No rap. #
- 23:53 Romantic and modern here refer to those eras of "classical music" - I generally prefer the less orthodox but still tonal compositions there. #
- 23:54 (Wow, I bet that last tweet made no sense to anyone not either following all @-replies or @Sugarwilla.) #

- 08:56 Okay, so if this works, LoudTwitter should be exporting my tweets behind a LJ-cut. #
- 12:51 Why, oh why, is "Q" directly between "W" and "Tab" on the keyboard? #
- 23:08 @Sugarwilla Hey, she was really good in "Angel Eyes" (2001)! #

- 13:39 Whoa. The "Read it Later" Firefox add-on puts markers in Google Reader to do it! #
- 14:56 Wow, the "Note in Reader" bookmarklet that Google provides is really nice. I should have started using this thing before! #

- 17:27 @Sugarwilla *Cold*! #
- 19:13 @Sugarwilla Sounds like a example of "the hedge". Other variations: "I know I shouldn't say this...", "I would never try to give advice...." #
- 19:23 @Sugarwilla My neighborhood got a bit of Christmas cheer along the same lines last month - well worth spreading! #
- 19:24 Okay, you know what Twitter needs? @-replies with offset. e.g. "@Sugarwilla-1" for the penultimate Sugarwilla tweet! #
- 19:25 LJ is back - did you miss it? :P #
- 19:54 As the question has been raised, it shall be answered: @Sugarwilla is officially the bee's knees, the snake's hip, the cat's pajamas - cool. #
- 19:55 As George Carlin put it: if I am wrong, let God strike down ... *this audience!* #
- 01:26 @fadeaccompli I never watched the commentary to that one! I should check it out when I have a chance. #
- 11:20 Slept the sleep of the unrighteous. At least it was still sleep. #
- 11:43 @jephjacques Because Dora's new haircut is *just that awesome*. #
- 20:09 Huh, Jack Johnson is pretty good. www.jackjohnsonmusic.com/home #
- 20:20 @Sugarwilla No, there's one tweet I posted, too. (; #

- 21:19 @jephjacques "A lot" is a moving bar in all things, exercise most of all. It was. #
- 21:49 A serious question (for once). It seems widely agreed that news reporting is uniformly terrible. Is there even a market for the good stuff? #
