• "Hard to Handle" from Etta James, Grateful Dead, Tower of Power Horns on NYE '82. Nice. http://t.co/j2CGvR9D #
• Am I the only one who thinks that the Superbowl would be much better for everyone if moved to SATURDAY night instead of Sunday? #
• RIP Etta James. Thanks for sharing all that soul with us all. #
• This is an astounding choice as a (seemingly?) default setting. http://t.co/jLpeODKY #
• I don't understand these "all edges" brownie pans. Am I the only one who prefers the luscious, gooey middle and doesn't care for the crust? #
• There's nothing wrong with iBooks Author EULA if you treat the software as *part of the store*. It's not free, just different payment model. #
• Live HD Video sampler of FLING from a recent gig of ours. Sound is as it was live, energy is awesome. http://t.co/ZoQYuq8o #
• When @Lefsetz is right, he's right: "That's the dirty little secret of being creative. You know what is A+ work. But it comes so rarely." #
• Nice to see Apple (via Schiller now) still preaching the "change the world" vibe. #
• Agreed! RT @GlennF 5 GB = 3 GB plan @ $30 + two 1 GB overages at $10 each. Tethering should be available at all levels + overage fees. #
• Me, at dinner: "would you like to tell me about mitosis or shall I tell you about a different reproductive process."

  It worked. #

• You guys are gonna LOVE all the facts I make up tomorrow knowing you can't check them 'cause Wikipedia will be offline. #
• I should note that the sleeping iMac in this case is locked-up and unwakeable. #
• Troubleshooting: When my iMac goes to sleep it takes every Ethernet device on the network offline. Powering off iMac brings everything back. #
• Either I'm stupid or the new XBox interface is, but I can't for the life of me find my active downloads window. #
• TripIt Pro Code claimed! #
• Ok, I got a free TripIt Pro code that I can't use because I'm already a paid member. First follower to ask for it gets it from me via DM. #
• My wife and I watched "Disturbia" last night. Better than expected, good homage to "Rear Window," one of my Hitchcock favorites. #
• As a Patriots fan I'd like to see Green Bay lose today, but I *do* realize the Giants are not an easy team for the Pats to beat. Hrm. #

• My son blocked 10 shots on net, let no goals in, earning himself a shutout in his first game in goal.

  Safe to say hockey went well. #

• Seems the official CES app doesn't comply with Apple's in-app purchase rules? I'm sure Apple wants their 30% of $3k. http://t.co/dsYoy61e #

• Lazy Tweet #2 Related to #1 prior, I realize I have no good process to decide what movies to rent/stream. What sources/methods do you us? #
• Lazy Tweet #1 Good movie to get for family with 10-12 year olds? Massive sex references, bad, all else OK. #

  Ummm… thanks, buddy #

• CES's Shapiro says CES expresses "gratitude and goodwill" towards Microsoft. #
