- You would not BELIEVE the hoops I've had to jump through to reset my Verizon (Frontier) Fios password for billing. Weeks! #headasplode #
- OK, world, you have 1 hour to convince me not to give up on the Office Heroes game. Otherwise, I'm dumping it. #toomanygames #
- It's a sign – as I'm pondering whether or not to dump Office Heroes, I see that We Farm is now available in the App Store. #
- @MrMoratti Oh, I'm deeply invested in We Rule. And I keep GodFinger around, too. Just added We Farm. And Super 7 is awesome! in reply to MrMoratti #
- Is it just me, or is there no "Genius" recommendation section in the App Store on the iPad? Not that it works very well, IME. #
- Apple needs to hurry up and release iOS 4 for iPad. I'm running out of screens to put my apps on.
# - RT @chrisorourke: RT @tangibleww: If you like Silversun Pickups, they're about to play a free show at NW 9th/Irvine #pdx #
- @lilbutterfly for Thai food, my absolute favorite is eSan on SW 2nd and Pine. I need it once a week, or my taste buds wither. in reply to lilbutterfly #
- The Amazon Kindle app FINALLY gets background support for iOS 4. I use it every day. Lack of background was glaring. #
- Nice popover interface for lookups in Kindle 2.2 for iPhone. And you get the New Oxford Dictionary free: http://gdzl.la/8nSaZV #
- And I can't be sure, but to my eyes, it looks like the font/typeface looks nicer in Kindle 2.2 on my iPhone 4. #

- Upgraded my Dropbox to 50GB for $10/mo. Totally worth it. Use this referral link to try for yourself, I get more space: http://db.tt/7FsZbv #
- @shadowbottle yeah, I think a $5/mo. 20GB @Dropbox plan would sell like hotcakes. in reply to shadowbottle #
- 125-piece puzzle in 6 different metals with hidden "Golden Gun" http://j.mp/acL0Zn Want. #
- New Kindle! $139 for a wifi only model? Mighty attractive. I'd love @emmabancroft to have her own. http://bit.ly/bwIGvr #

- Check In While Checking Out: CardStar Adds Foursquare Integration http://j.mp/cSJSan Nice. I use CardStar all the time. #
- @verso The handheld barcode scanners at most stores work with CardStar. in reply to verso #
- RT @laughingsquid: Apple just announced updated iMacs, Mac Pros, 27" LED display & new Magic Trackpad http://bit.ly/bvf4pg /via @TheNextWeb #
- Is it bad that I totally want the new Apple battery charger (and a Magic Trackpad to go with it)? http://bit.ly/c4jPkB #
- So, how does click-and-drag work on the new Apple Magic Trackpad? Does the whole thing "click" like on the MacBooks? #
- @verso only the handheld barcode scanners work in my experience, at any store. None of the "desktop" ones do. in reply to verso #
- @semaphoria Pretzel M&Ms? I am intrigued by this idea, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter… in reply to semaphoria #
- @jaacob @reederapp gained background sync completion in 2.1 (on iOS 4). Not sure about Byline. No app can actively sync in the background. in reply to jaacob #

- Oops. Meant @Reederapp for iPhone v2.1. Adds retina display support, fixes some other stuff (like sync on start). Thanks, Silvio! #

- Watching me page through @Flipboard, 3yo @gabebancroft asked "are you reading a magazine?" Yes, I am. #

- My @Instapaper reading has become Pokémon collection: I catch several articles per day, never get around to reading them. #
- Like Pokémon (which I grok but have never played), I get satisfaction (separate from reading) from adding stuff to @Instapaper. #
- Dragon Dictation Updated with Social Features, iOS 4 Support http://j.mp/btGpk9 Nice! Handy for the car. #
- This is a test voice update from dragon dictation #
- "You Gotta See This" let you wave your gyro-equipped iPhone 4 around, and automatically create a panoramic photo. Neat! http://bit.ly/dDiGm8 #
- Um, why are there jet fighters overhead in Hillsboro? The airshow isn't until the end of August… #

- Can someone who's never been to my site, tinyscreenfuls.com, go there and tell me if it's redirecting to a malware site? (cont.) #
- (cont.) I got a questionable email saying it was, but it could be a phishing attempt. Site is WP 3.0, up to date on everything. #
- Argh. Looks like my site is infected with something. Stop going there. Anyone got a link to a good WordPress cleanup howto?
# - @GuiAmbros I just changed the db password on my host, until I can fix the site. So that was my fault. in reply to GuiAmbros #
- @laughingsquid Thanks. I'm not sure what hack it was, but it's looking like pharma. in reply to laughingsquid #
- @jmcvearry Tell me more… I've replaced all my WP files, and the apparently bad script links are still there. What's next? in reply to jmcvearry #
- Looks like I was affected by this @mediatemple issue: http://bit.ly/9b6Xhr Cleaning up my db now. I hate spammers. #
- Can I ask another favor? Can you hit http://tinyscreenfuls.com again, and see if you get the malware/redirect again? I think it's clean now. #
- After a few reports from you, looks like tinyscreenfuls.com is clean again. It appears I was hit by this: http://bit.ly/a3revg #
- @mediatemple Thanks. I used your wiki article on cleaning up the redirect hack to fix things. It was quite helpful. http://bit.ly/9b6Xhr in reply to mediatemple #
- @rares_pdx I did find those redirect domains, and cleaned them up. I would have been out of luck if that wasn't the problem. in reply to rares_pdx #
- Again, thanks to everyone who helped me diagnose and fix my blog hack problem. All clean now. I love you guys. #
- I just ordered a DODOCase from @DODOSays. I've been enamored from the beginning, but @jsnell's review put me over the edge. #
- My car nerd superpowers are failing me. Can anyone identify this yellow convertible? It's driving me nuts. http://twitpic.com/27pha6 #
- @c_bright Yes! Thank you! I would have known had I seen the front. Don't see many Maserati's around these parts. http://bit.ly/cBzMhf in reply to c_bright #
- @blath @c_bright nailed it – it's a Maserati Spyder. http://bit.ly/cBzMhf in reply to blath #
- @KevinCTofel @jkendrick me too – I downloaded some ereader.com books from ages ago onto my iPad. Blast from the past. in reply to KevinCTofel #

- @davest sacrificial mound? That's dinner, right there! in reply to davest #

- @ahockley No need to "pay a significant amount of money for TextExpander for iPad". It's only $4.99: http://bit.ly/6i6uzV in reply to ahockley #
- @ahockley Wish TextExpander worked systemwide, too, but works in my most important apps – Twitter, SimpleNote, etc. It's a good compromise. in reply to ahockley #
- Flipboard sounds pretty cool. Bummer they're hitting capacity issues. I can't wait to add my networks and try it out! #
- RT @geekygirldawn: Intel has a bunch of open positions for people to work on MeeGo. Details in #oscon booth or http://bit.ly/cvFIfr #hiring #
- RT @geekygirldawn: You want to watch the Intel sponsored session starting at 11:30 in E143, we are giving away a free netbook. #oscon #pimp #
- I'm a sucker for sales. Capcom's iPhone game sale got me to spring for Mega Man II, Dark Void Zero, and Phoenix Wright. #
- @aaroneiche Mega Man II has a special place in my heart, no matter how poorly it plays on an iOS device. in reply to aaroneiche #
- When I went to the Nintendo World Championships in 1988, I won a stuffed Mario by identifying the Mega Man II theme song in a contest. #
- I made it to the semifinals in the Nintendo World Championships in 1988. I coulda been a contender! Fond memories… #
- The 3-game NWC challenge: 6 minutes to get 50 coins in Super Mario Bros, do a lap in Rad Racer, and score as much as possible in Tetris. #
- @linuxaid I could have taken Fred Savage. He didn't even know about the white block secrets in Super Mario 3. in reply to linuxaid #
- Skype 2.0.1 for iPhone, which receives incoming calls and IMs in the background, is out. Yay! http://bit.ly/9BjDDw #
- RT @bljarv: Ordered an iPad this morning using @jabancroft's iPad. Could have used my laptop, but what fun would that have been? #
- I love it when I mention something fun/cool to @tersteeg across the cube aisle and he tweets it. It's a meatspace retweet mechanism! #
- @LoSzabo @mike503 you know, meatspace. The opposite of online. #
- @chartier Their @birdhouseapp account is somewhat active – says they're working on iOS 4 support. in reply to chartier #
- RT @geekygirldawn: For people who missed @dhohndel's Got MeeGo keynote – here's my summary & link to his presentation http://bit.ly/a53P3r #

- 'Office Heroes' – Gentlemen, Start Your Tweeting http://j.mp/9ar77e Awesome, fun, free app. #
- Watching @rachelbancroft unbox her new iPad. #
- @dhohndel yep. She needed a new computer, so I got her an iPad. We'll see how it goes! in reply to dhohndel #
- Got @Flipboard working with FB and Twitter earlier. Wow. It's a REALLY nice way to browse your streams. Love it. http://yfrog.com/6cefrcj #
- @shadowbottle yeah, I'm already wishing there was an iPhone version of @Flipboard. Would be great on other platforms, too. in reply to shadowbottle #

- RT @naominovik: Meet Naomi in Portland, Oregon tonight at the Beaverton Powell's location! 7:00pm! (wish I could go!) #
- I'm going to the dentist this afternoon for what will probably end up being a root canal. I'm SO not looking forward to it. #pain #pansy #
- Well, that was a bad idea. For the record, don't go reading about root canals on Wikipedia before you have one. The pictures… #faint #
- Thanks all for the reassurances about how bad a root canal isn't. I'm sure it will be fine. I'm just an enormous wimp. #
- @hoffer7 Nice! I could deal with that. Who needs to feel their head, anyway? in reply to hoffer7 #
- Well I'm embarrassed. All that dental whining was or naught. Dentist thinks he can fix my toothache by replacing a filling. No root canal. #

- Two new iPhone games you should be playing (if you aren't already): StarDunk and Helsing's Fire. Both are excellent. #
- RT @marshallk: did a bit about Old Spice on NPR's All Things Considered today: http://n.pr/bAbkvJ (congrats, Marshall!) #
- Helsing's Fire is a fun, polished puzzle game, but it's the writing and style, believe it or not, that steal the show. #
- Just discovered that swearing is, in fact, not allowed when playing Hi Ho Cherry-O. Huh. #
- eReader (née Palm Digital Media/Peanut Press) updated their iOS app to be iPad Universal. Now I can reread the dozens of books I have there. #
