@buckmasterflash Wait, what? You're leaving? We're going to miss your personality. We need that around here. Best wishes! in reply to buckmasterflash #
RT @chr1sa: Parrot AR.Drone now up for pre-order. $299, Sept 3rd shipping: http://bit.ly/901Tlt (My b-day is in Dec, wink wink. #
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. #

The popular pzizz sleep and pzizz energizer iOS apps, normally $10, are currently free. Go get them! #
RT @jindofox: @jabancroft awesome catch. Now go get some 99c iPad Gameloft games: Iron Man 2, Shrek Kart, Brothers in Arms 2, all in "HD." #
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 #
RT @IgnitePortland: Hey, Portland! Less than a week to the August 1st deadline to get your proposal in for #IP9 http://j.mp/IP9Ideas #
I don't know exactly how it happened, but I have ice cream all over my cheek and in my beard… #

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 #

RT @cvelis: RT @sujaintel: Intel will be recruiting Software Engineers at Siggraph. Meet them at the booth numbers 20 and 21. #
Looks like @Reederapp for iPhone v 2.2 is out, but the release notes haven't been updated, so not sure what's new. Retina support? #
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 #
RT @Twitterrific 3.0.1 universal is approved & in the App Store soon. List of what's new – http://twitterrific.com/iphone/history (yay!) #
Nice new feature for @1Paasword for iOS: @Dropbox sync. Now all my computers/devices stay in sync! Heaven! #
@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 #
RT @glumobile: Great news iPad owners, Glyder 2 is now FREE!! Enjoy! http://bit.glu.com/dbBPPv (/via @148apps) #
Camera+ 1.2 Available: Brings Touch Exposure, “Drag to Focus” and Flashlight http://j.mp/czS79t Great app, big update. #
Is there a name for Papa Murphy's Cowboy pizza with the white/garlic sauce? We're calling it "Albino Cowboy". #
'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 #

@gregr Such an app already exists – http://www.trapster.com/ in reply to gregr #
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. #
