My father in law got an iPod touch for Christmas. I just gave him a 3 hour braindump boot camp on how to use it. Poor guy. #
Happy New Year! We're partying at grandma's. 2009 was great, here's looking forward to an even better 2010! ???????? #
Dick Clark is a robot. Has been for years. Everyone knows that, right? #happynewyear #

Driving back to Eugene from the coast today. Hope Hwy 20 between Newport and Corvallis isn't too snowy. #snowpocalypse2 #pdxtst #
@penmachine I think of James Kim often. Another couple got stranded by thier GPS in central Oregon a few days ago (they were rescued). in reply to penmachine #
@penmachine I even have the same kind of car as the Kims. But I stick to highways, and this is my home turf. No forest service roads for me! in reply to penmachine #
Am I the only person who would like to see Bruce Schneier in charge of Homeland Security and the TSA? #
Whale watching at Depoe Bay. MUCH better weather and success today. #whales #truehdr http://twitpic.com/vwsjg #

Pig and Pancake, baby! Love the Oregon Coast. (@ Pig'n Pancake – Newport) http://4sq.com/8SDiYT #
Went to the Whale Watching Center in Depoe Bay, but the weather's bad, so no whale sightings, even though we're in the middle of migration. #
At the lookout/gift shop at Cape Foulweather. It's name is both apparent and obvious. #
Missing the big snow storm in Portland (we're at the coast). Sounds pretty epic from the tweets and pics. Bet it melts by tomorrow. #
Awesome Chinese place. Owner Huiya has an amazing story. (@ Kam Meng) http://4sq.com/8cmGw5 #

The TomTom USA app for iPhone is on sale for half price ($49) until tomorrow. I caved, now that I use my iPhone in the car a lot more. #
Gravity Wells http://j.mp/8R7TQO I want a giant poster of this. I so heart XKCD. #

Merry Christmas Chaos! http://post.ly/GBPa #
@gabebancroft has figured out that his new motorized Thomas train works on @emmabancroft's new Polly Pocket Roller Coaster. Hilarity. #
I got spoiled: a Gerber Crucial, New SMB Wii, Ratchet and Clank, a Lego steam roller, and a Perplexus puzzle. Thanks, @rachelbancroft! #
Christmas breakfast was yummy – sausage and Cinnabons. And chocolate milk. #

Hope your house is in as much merry chaos as ours this morning. Merry Christmas and wishes for an awesome New Year from the Bancrofts!

Why on earth is the apartment complex next door running a leaf blower at 8AM on Christmas Eve? Not very merry… #
How I'm spending Christmas Eve: in my pajamas, playing Lego Rock Band and Burnout: Paradise with the kids. Heaven. #
Driving around looking at Christmas lights, hoping the kids fall asleep in the car. ????? #

On my way to do some last minute Christmas shopping for @rachelbancroft. Whee! #
@PaRaJiTo I didn't say *what* I'm getting her… in reply to PaRaJiTo #

Headed downtown with the family for adventures. #
Family fun lunch! Been a few weeks since I've been here. (@ E-San Thai Cuisine) http://4sq.com/6tSDuc #

How does someone get a score of 3,338,650 in Bejeweled Blitz? I'm pretty sure that's not possible. My all time best is only 326,000. #
