Wesley’s having his first motion controller experience and is entranced. flOw on the PS3. The PSP version was the first game he ever played.

Dare I tweet a tentative "SQWEEE!!"? No, better not. There’s got to be a catch. Stay tuned for a real squee or no explanation at all 😛

Uhhh, yeah, cancel that squee. It’s what I get for letting myself get caught up in the moment.

For some reason, the song "Moon River" is stuck in my head today. But the lyric changed to @don_rivers – what’s up with that??

Dooooon Riverrrrs reeeeading Japaneeeeese. See what I mean? Hope it gets stuck in his head, too.

The dead do not think about acting.

The dead do not respond to context.

The dead are rarely positive about things.

The dead do not rejoice.

The dead do not act.

.@don_rivers Don’t let me forget to ask your opinion of new bar layout. I’ll drag you into a family disagreement – what are friends for? 😛

Toooo much coffee. But it’s just so enjoyable to make.

Talk about a misleading headline… RT @PlayStation PSN Restoration Timeline Update: http://bit.ly/lOdUL2

Instagram obviously made some change recently – I can no longer see the pics my tweeps post to it on my phone, grrrr. (WM6.5,OperaMobile10)

DAMMIT!!!! It’s like there’s someone living inside me who has a personal vendetta against our good wine glasses and can make my hands move.

And it’s not just wine glasses. In the last week, I’ve also broken both our glass coffee canisters. I should be banished from the kitchen.

Btw, we’re back at Lexx – so far, the 4th season isn’t as bad as I’d heard. We’ve been off and on for a couple years but nearing the end 🙁

Kai, Last of the Brunnen-G, has tied Spock for the stoic one in my personal hall of heroes and is close to supplanting him! #whatanerd

.@Jaeckle I was just thinking along the same lines. ("The dead do not go through Pon Farr"?) Spock even smiles a lot in season 1, iirc.

Spock’s disadvantage, he’s half human. Kai’s advantage, he’s dead.

RT @Jaeckle: @ABQChristopher Kai will win. Spock has lost it several times.

RT @Jaeckle: @ABQChristopher If Kai got sprayed in the face by the emotion flowers on that one planet he’d just crush the plants and move on

Kai (before he died) and the Brunnen-G battle song. http://youtube.com/watch?v=wYoq6sovr8Y This is my morning alarm clock sound.

Not bad. http://youtube.com/watch?v=wdbq7oHP6C4 Behold Kai, Last of the Brunnen-G, undead former assassin of His Divine Shadow.

So, I’ve been on Twitter for three years today. I still think of it as text webcam, Batman-ish surveillance http://bit.ly/9RnZK1

Dear Sony, give us Netflix Instant Watch on our PSPs (via remote play will do!) and all will be forgiven. Heck, you can take another week.

Group of hackers says it’s planning another wave of cyberattacks against Sony – CNET http://cnet.co/jzP1rl

@don_rivers Yup.

My usb passthrough eGo is rapidly dying. $25, lasted 5 months, dies suddenly rather than underperforms for weeks – I’m more than satisfied.

Clarification: My eGo started rapidly dying 3 or 4 days ago. Most people keep a spare – I don’t yet, though we’ve got a few manual 510s.

And, yeah, suddenly dying in just a few days is better than the ones that underperform for a final third or more of their life span.

RT @RevRunJnr: PSN = Playstation Notwork

After 5 hours on the roof, we have a new evap cooler 🙂 But, something about this one is driving Terra’s allergies crazy. (?)

@RachelRT I don’t think so. I’m in the Indian Wells and Florida vicinity.

@Rachelrt I’m having total deja vu, like you and I thought we lived on the same block or something what must be over a year ago

RT @gamespot Sony knew PSN "had no firewall installed," Cybersecurity expert tells Congress http://gamespot.com/6312333

WHY am I only NOW finding out you can bypass PSN login on Netflix AND Vudu???!!!!!

We really don’t like chardonnay. But, tonight we’re out of good vino and had a chard with dinner and really liked it. And it’s $5 a bottle!

That’s Twin Fin ’07 Chardonnay from Walmart. First chard we’ve had anything good to say about. And we had it before and didn’t like it!

Like so many things wine-related, we deduce it has to do with our changing tastes as we learn more about wines and how they taste.

We should accept nothing less than execution for the Sony people responsible. Live, streaming over PSNv2.

Ok, ok, I’d settle for Sony execs sentenced to a public de-panting while singing "I Know What Boys Like".

WTF? Isn’t that one of the Biblical signs of the Apocalypse? @94KEY: What do you think of Miley Cyrus’s cover of ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’?

Happy birthday to Terra… My best friend, my partner, my confidant, my safe place, my white mage, my irreplaceable… My life for you 🙂

Playing the Dreamcast classic The Typing of the Dead with Terra 🙂 One of my favorite games evar. And one of the oddest ever, as well.

Yes, you heard me right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Typing_of_the_Dead

After another viewing, The Fourth Kind remains the most disturbing horror film I know. And it’s very cleverly made, brilliant sound design.
