Just finished reading Makers. Thank you, @doctorow, for the labor of distilling all those huge ideas into a book. My buzzing brain salutes! #
The writers on Sesame Street have a wicked sharp sense of humor. I've always loves that show, even as an adult. #
And yes, that last tweet means I'm home sick with sick kids for the 3rd day. We watched a Dinosaur Train episode about poop today. No lie. #
@Scobleizer TechCrunch says Tweetie 2.1, with support for new RT, geotags, and lists, is coming soon: http://bit.ly/2Vvd0v (via @corvida) in reply to Scobleizer #

We all seem to be feeling a bit better today. Hope it keeps up. #
Lego Rock Band is awesome. Esp. the Rock Power Challenges. Chase ghosts away to the tune of Ray Parker Jr's "Ghostbusters". Good times. #
Our family Rock Band name: The Rockin' Out Band-Crofts. Our Lego Rock Band name? The Blockin' Out Band-Crofts. #
I've monitored Twitter on the topic of iPhone apps for months. Fact: the most common tweet is "What's the best Twitter app?" By a mile. #
@Durf I've asked that myself. I've heard good things about Satchel (re: Basecamp on iPhone). in reply to Durf #
Ugh. It's only been two days, but I'm so tired of being sick. @rachelbancroft is an angelfor taking care of us… #
@verso I don't know if it's #hamthrax, H1Nerd1, or what, but I sucks. It's affecting us all differently. Me=fever, kids=plurking. Yech. in reply to verso #
@verso I have a couple iPhone apps I use to fall asleep. Kindle and Stanza. Use them every single night. in reply to verso #

Our household is a wreck. Both kids barfing all over the place, I've got a high fever and achy body. @rachelbancroft is holding us together. #
I owe @Jerry_Makare big time. He singlehandedly pulled off all of our @isntv shows today. Thanks, mang. #
You know there's something wrong with me when I have no desire to fiddle with my iPhone… #sick #sucks #plague #
Heartfelt thanks to everyone who wished us well today over here in the plague house. I didn't reply individually, but it means a lot. #

Ugh. Firefox 3.6 beta 1 seems to open new tabs right next to the current tab, like Chrome, instead of at the end of the tab bar. #
@shadowbottle When I right-click, Open in New Tab a link in FF 3.6b1 Mac, it opens next to the current tab. That's new. I don't have TMP. in reply to shadowbottle #
@StevenWalling I think I'll just have to get used to it. I have a set of tabs that are always open, don't like them to get disrupted, tho. in reply to StevenWalling #
Playing with a Magic Mouse for the first time. I'm astounded that there's no middle click and I sorely miss the Mighty Mouse's side buttons. #
If I'm going to live with a Magic Mouse, I'll have to use keyboard/hot corners for Spaces and Exposé. Relearning deep habits is hard. #
Don't like the new "open tab next to current" in Firefox 3.6? Set browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to false in about:config. #
@AndruEdwards I haven't decided if I'm going to switch, but I figure you can't go wrong learning the keyboard shortcuts for stuff. in reply to AndruEdwards #
@vajra Because the new Magic Mouse has no middle click, and no side buttons (like on the Mighty Mouse), and I use those for Spaces/Exposé. in reply to vajra #
@wilshipley Any update on the Delicious Library for iPhone/Amazon issue? I really miss that app, dying for something like it. #
@finermac Not sure if this is new, but I think hot corners work on both monitors in SL when # of monitors > 1. #
I'm thinking I could live with this Magic Mouse. I still catch myself trying to middle click, or squeeze the sides, though. #
You people putting me on Twitter lists like Thinkers, Smart, Cool People, Originals, etc. are really inflating my ego. You know that, right? #
@finermac I'll try to grab a screen and write it up. Not 100% sure it's actually, you know, true. Will verify first. in reply to finermac #
Anyone know of a personal inventory app that 1) syncs with the web, and 2) has an iPhone app? Something like Delicious Library… #
