Beautiful day in Chi-town today. At Wrigley watching the Cubs and Rockies. Rockies need to kick it into gear. Terrible start to the season.
Anyone know if you can port a VoIP # over to Skype?
Marketing cold call from Yahoo. Told employee the request needed to be in writing by USPS and that we would reply in 7 business days. hehe
Apple commercials are killing ‘Vista-Prone’ Microsoft. I doubt another major OS release from MS. Vista-Lite perhaps, but no more bloatware.
Tried some of the new lime infused beers this weekend. Jury still out. Waiting for an extremely hot day and to be out of all other flavors.
Trying to watch “The Longest Day” and catch up on email at the same time is near impossible. Too many subtitles. Classic.

You know a phrase is tired when it starts popping up in car commercials. Put ‘livin the dream’ on my list of old axioms.
Sometime in November, likely the 10th.
Bloodhound just announced Unchained Florida that will be one day before NAR.

Sometimes twitter feels as if it’s powered by hamsters…and today they were on-strike for more pellets.
Just finished first DVD backup of iTunes. 16 DVD’s. iTunes backup is preferred as it saves playlists, ratings, and playcounts.
While on hold, its amazing to me that some people haven’t heard of LinkedIn. The digital chasm between online and offline agents is widening
Talked to a loan officer today who loves working from his laptop and using technology but was completely unaware of LinkedIn.
Trying to daisychain a firewire HD to a firewire DVD burner. Non-Mac equipment never fails to require at least one call to tech support.

95% of RE agents are too scared or busy to adapt their habits. They won’t change until they can pay for a seminar that tells them to go Mac.
Finally, the sun is shining and its snowing in Frisco today! I love this town. Back to work.
Meeting with Summit County title rep. Handed me a brochure that promised to help me become a tech innovator with website. Site is IE only!
I’ve been hearing more buzz about Amazon’s Wireless Reading Device, the Kindle. The device is creating an ardent fan base ala Tivo.
Long day. Writing, accounting, FF profile project, Photo project, REBlogWorld, Clients. A-List on Reader is read. I’m pooped.

Anyone using multiple Firefox profiles? One for browsing? One for work? What ideas are out there?
I hope Adobe & Apple can reach an agreement on flash. Adobe has both the resources and the ability to simplify the web, 2nd only to Apple.
So I went to a bar tonight that had two little mini alleys in it. Mini balls, pins on strings, totally fun. Someone is about to make a mint.
Anybody NOT listening to the Raveonettes or Frightened Rabbit? Give them both a listen. Good stuff.
Calendared WordCamp-SF with K-Dawg. Told her she needed a Mac by then or I would tease her. Who else is going? http://tinyurl.com/5mltkf
It took RE BlogWorld Group to get me onto Facebook. I have resisted. I’m ready for someone to chuck a sheep at me.
The day I bookmark facebook and give it a shortcut in Firefox properties is the day I’ve officially got too much time on my hands.

iPhone mapping tool is fabulous. Haven’t visited mapquest in two months.
Anyone have iPhoto organization tips or links they can share? I have 2000 pictures with no rhyme or reason to them.
I love how it takes my dog ten minutes to find his ‘spot’ to you know what. And then after the deed, he can’t leave the scene fast enough.
Retweet from @hotdogsladies: Oh, Google. You know I meant to type “Angus Young.” Jeez, one dropped consonant, and now I have to go bleac …
And I’m feeling the urge to deal with it…..
