Buying tickets has been problematic for a very long time. Back in my record store employee days, people needed to line up to get tickets. This old method seems fairer than purchasing tickets online now. We weren’t one of the lucky ones to get a presale code to join in the fun. We’ll need to see if “reasonably” priced tickets become available later on.

• It’s fun to do things together as a family, like being sick all at the same time! #

• @OnTracRob Ordered two packages from @Amazon. Neighbor noted delivery person simply threw packages down on the porch. You need tracking #s in reply to OnTracRob #
• @OnTracRob BTW-no damage to @Amazon packages. Just think it’s inconsiderate since contents arn’t knwn. Or must package say Handle with Care? in reply to OnTracRob #

• My daughter has just discovered her feet. She's acting like she's never seen them before. #
• Was thinking of upgrading iPhone since volume toggle broke. But hearing rumors of Verizon iPhone again makes me pause. Wait for next year? #
• Who has a 27" iMac? You love it? Hate it? #
• Reading @gruber more, I agree with what he says. CDMA iPhone doesn't necessarily mean iPhone Verizon bound. Bummer. #
• Finally got offered to view the new twitter.com web layout. I'm liking it a lot. #
• 1/2 the day done, but so much more writing to do. I guess my weekend is going to start later than I thought. #

• Mia started, on her own, rolling onto her belly this morning. Ugh, another thing to worry about while she sleeps. #
• @standardtheme Does your theme have a single column option - no sidebar? My photos default photos are large - 640x640 - which is large. #

• Time to call @RotoRooter Hopefully it won’t be too big of a problem to fix. #

• Getting a tall mocha in Starbucks http://loopt.us/_OYExg.t #
• Dinner-time! in Cheesecake Factory http://loopt.us/a0NBBw.t #
• Rushing to get a bagel from the break room. I don’t necessarily like bagels. I just hate when people touch food they aren’t going to eat. #

• The iPad better support the Kindle app. I’d be upset if I had to buy an iPad version of a book that I can read on my iPhone Kindle app! #
• I can’t seem to choose a good font for the blog. I guess I’ll go with the default in the theme I’m using. #wordpress #
• I think I’ve had my fill of the word “frickin'” today. #
• Gouged my nose with a fingernail last night while sleeping. I drew blood and skin. Must have had a a bad dream to do that to myself. #

• Somehow we missed last week’s Project Runway. How the heck did that happen? #
• Thinking the new theme on the website is not working. My wife may hate me for changing it again, I’ll probably do it before next week. #
• I hope the person in the next cube only has allergies. Otherwise, I hope I don’t catch what they got. They’re coughing up a storm! #

I was in a seminar about twitter a few weeks ago. One person about the safety of tweeting, such as mentioning you are at a restaurant or traveling and not at home. The answer the presenter gave was “you don’t have to share everything”.

Common sense people.  Common sense.

mashable:

Going out of town? Most of us who tweet have been known to share that little tidbit of news with our followers, especially if that out of town journey is to a conference or event where we’re…

Another way to enjoy Twitter
