Rainbow Tower May 23, 2008

Driving to work I noticed a rainbow tower in the southwestern sky, opposite the sunrise. I snapped some photos which didn’t really capture the view. Here are two versions of the same photo (cropped from the original).

Twitter Explained

Posted on the April 14th, 2008 under Family,Leisure,Technology by Al

I’d heard about Twitter about a year ago, signed up and didn’t use it. Almost a year later, Judy was checking out Twittervision during the Super Tuesday Primaries and was intrigued by this ‘Twitter’ thing. So I had her sign up and we’ve been regular users since. She uses it mostly for family communications. I use it for family communications and to follow the tech scene, so some of my tech posts confuse family members. This video by Common Craft does a great job of explaining what Twitter is all about.

That does it. Decided that the reason why this problem continues is because nobody speaks up. Have Pricelined an AM flight to San Francisco.

Overslept…****!!!! Flight is at 5:50, with luck I can drive straight to the airport and still make it…Tweeting shall be sporadic…

Touchdown in SF. Lots to do, not much time to do it before my flight home tonight! about 8 hours ago from web

My Beatle impersonator finally shows up at the airport lounge…and it’s *Ringo* g-dammit. What bloody use is a RINGO impersonator? about 7 hours ago from web

At Hertz. They’re out of Sables but have upgraded me to an Escalade. Cool beans! about 7 hours ago from web

These Escalades perform terribly in SF. Hippies keep throwing themselves in front of the car and waving banners. This is getting an-NOY-ing. about 6 hours ago from web

Oh, there’s a green button on the Escalade’s dash that deploys a Counter-Hippie Snowplow. Cool. I’m not even slowing down for them anymore. about 6 hours ago from web
