- Dontcha love a bathroom stall door that repeatedly flies open while you’re doing your business? #
- To all who wondered about the timing and location of my “bathroom stall doors” tweet, I say: you’ll never know.
# - Driving home from Springfield tonight. I hear it’s snowing at home. I’m REALLY TIRED of that crap, @PortlandSnow! :-/ #
- This is ridiculous. 2″ of wet slush on my sloped driveway, car wouldn’t stay parked. Kept sliding to the bottom. #pdxtst #
- Nice to be home after 1.5 weeks gone. Was paranoid our house would wash away in the Thawnami.
# - @TiEsQue I got a phishing DM email from @evacatherder, too! My first one. I was beginning to feel left out. in reply to TiEsQue #
- @samgrover yeah, Mark Nelsen says it will be 45F by dawn. I sure hope so. #pdxtst in reply to samgrover #
- So what could a scammer actually do if they phished your Twitter password? Spam your friends? Read your DMs? Doesn’t seem very lucrative. #
- @gregjsmith Crazy is right. The roads weren’t even very slick. Snow started in Salem. @CarriBugbee hope you and your car are OK! #pdxtst in reply to gregjsmith #
- @ahockley But you could have your account shut down/reset as soon as you realized someone else was using it. in reply to ahockley #
- @camikaos @dieselboi Do we know for sure @evacatherder got phished? Are they sending fake emails that look like DMs, or real DMs? in reply to camikaos #
- It seems that one wouldn’t have to compromise a Twitter account to see who follows, then phish. Though they’d have to figure out emails. #
- Just answered my own question. They’re real DMs, not fake emails. Which would require a compromised acct. So sorry, @evacatherder!
# - @camikaos yeah, I got one too. I haven’t been following the problem, so I didn’t know the specifics of the exploit until now. in reply to camikaos #
- Is this really me? We should all come up with a code word so our followers can authenticate us. Mine will be the brand name of my shoes. #
- This Twitter phishing thing is purely social, right? No tech exploits. So how would the tech solutions being suggested (OAuth, etc) help? #
- There is no fix for social attacks beyond education and careful security practices on EVERYONE’s part, says I. #
- @ahockley What is this tech that can make people think more? I’d like to learn more about it. in reply to ahockley #

- Been radio silent, but having a blast with family in Medford. Will write later about epic 2 day Guitar Hero binge and Nerf gun modding. #

- @LeStew I think so. If not, there are other Linux iTunes-alikes that should work. I’ve never used one myself, though. in reply to LeStew #

- @mulderc Call or email Kindle support, they’ve been good historically about taking care of broken Kindles. in reply to mulderc #
- RT: Rockin in the new year with the family playing Guitar Hero! (via @rachelbancroft) in reply to rachelbancroft #
- Feel like I should do something momentous for New Years. Give up something, promise something big. In a funk instead. Huzzah. #

- Just played some Guitar Hero with my neice and nephew. They rock! #
- @Jerry_Makare Yeah, the SHO appears to be coming back in 2010. Dunno if I would give up my WRX for it, though. My 94 SHO is just a beater. in reply to Jerry_Makare #
- @verso SHO = Ford Taurus SHO (Super High Output). 1st and 2nd gen had a sports car engine built by Yamaha. in reply to verso #
- @BCadish Ignite Portland 5 submissions are still open. Deadline will be in January, detailed post coming soon on http://IgnitePortland.com in reply to BCadish #
- @LeStew Is OPB going to broadcast Make Television? I didn’t see Oregon on their list. Oregon NEEDS that show! in reply to LeStew #

- Reading Offworld costs me money. Just bought Zephyr (draw snow pictures, same world social features as Ocarina) and Passage for iPhone. #
- Puzzle Quest, which I love, is finally out for iPhone, but at $10 for the first episode (1/3 of the game), I think I’ll pass for now. #
- @Jmartens I’m waiting for packages from both UPS and FedEx, Haven’t moved in a week. Methinks it will be a while before they catch up. in reply to Jmartens #
- @MCP85 yeah, I heard something about a space themed Puzzle Quest game. Should be fun. in reply to MCP85 #
- Just blew a tire at Cottage Grove in our way to Medford. Had fun changing it on the side of I-5 in the rain. At Les Schwab now… #
- And since my car is AWD, it needs 4 new tires instead of one (it was about due anyway). That was $600 I wasn’t planning on spending today. #
- Gabe is in heaven at Les Schwab. Running around like a fool shouting “weeel! weeel!” He’s entertaining the staff. And there’s wifi. #
- @Jmartens You can give any KGW people that don’t already have my name my name. I’d love to talk to them, anytime. in reply to Jmartens #
- @chrisorourke Where is that Crocs store? Not that I’m, you know, going to go there, or anything. in reply to chrisorourke #
- Stopped for potty break and food in Grant’s Pass. Almost to Medford! New tires working great. Glad the roads are clear, though. #
- @chrisorourke Biggest Crocs store I’ve ever seen was in the Super Brand Mall in Shanghai. I felt like a minor celebrity when I walked in. in reply to chrisorourke #
- @ejacqui
in reply to ejacqui # - Grants Pass, OR has AT&T 3G, if anyone wondered. I’m getting 750kbps. #
- @artwells Besides my flat tire, the Portland/Medford drive was smooth. No snow, roads were great. in reply to artwells #

- Praise the Meltpocalypse! Hooray for the Thawnami! Nothing personal, @PortlandSnow, but don’t you EVER do that again! #pdxtst #
- Wow, @davewiner is right. Tweetree is REALLY cool. Threaded replies, media aware. Gotta play more. Here’s me: http://tweetree.com/jabancroft #
- Tweetree needs a mobile version. It’s a heavy web page, like twitter.com, and slow on my iPhone. Tweetie has me spoiled for speed. #
- I need to compare and contrast Tweetree and FriendFeed. The thing I like about both are similar. Need to suss out the differences. #
- @hangry You guys drove home through the Gorge? Wow. Glad you made it safely! That place has been the maw of frozen Hell lately. in reply to hangry #
- @JenFloyd08 OpenID is free. It’s a standard. There are tons of providers. The WP-OpenID plugin is free. but I have had bad luck with it. in reply to JenFloyd08 #
- @fraying My wife got me a sub (the geek special) to Fray for Christmas. Good stuff. Weird that the issues are totally different sizes, tho. in reply to fraying #
- @fraying Makes me wonder what the form factor of Issue 3 will be. Seriously, though, love your stuff, loved JPG before, you know… in reply to fraying #

- Watching Tinkerbell with Emma. Secretly hoping that having a tinker/maker/hacker as a role model will offset all the princess influence. #

- Great day. Opened presents with kids, just got back from seeing a movie (Bolt, which was great). It got really icy while we were in there! #
- @geoffk Saw Bolt in 2D. Loved it, which is more than I have been able to say for a Disney film for a long time. in reply to geoffk #

- Merry Christmas Eve everybody! If you have an iPhone, Android, or similar, search “NORAD Santa” in Google Maps to track him today! #
- Melt baby melt!!! #
- @briancollette We had prolly 14″ here at the peak, with lots of ice and not NEAR enough plows and sanders. Worst snowstorm in 40 years. in reply to briancollette #
- Guess what! I just saw not one but TWO snowplows on Farmington. First I’ve seen since this started 11 days ago. Rarer than Santa Claus! #
- It’s RAINING quite hard in Aloha. It’s a slushy mess out there. Like driving in Coke Slurpee. Melt baby melt! #pdxtst #
- @briancollette It snows about once a year here. Maybe twice. Melts in a day. And that number of plows sounds about right. in reply to briancollette #
- @chrisorourke You and @camikaos will be proud to know I’ve been Croc-free since the snow started. They fill up with snow too fast. in reply to chrisorourke #
- Merry Christmas, everybo- ooh, Santa cookies! #
That is awesome!
Looks like Audioblogger has disappeared at least on Sunday, 11/7/04…
Anyone know what’s up?
