I made an appt to see the eye doc- Sat. Today things are blurry, in general. I feel rested so I MUST need stronger lenses. :/ #gettingold

Watching the original 1977 theatrical version of Star Wars: A New Hope in honor of #starwarsday

Coolest Star Wars poster ever! I'll need to find a way to get this into my office. #starwarsday http://ping.fm/RjQS6

Thinking about alternatives to cable. If I'm serious enough I can make it work. Available feeds in Fairburn, GA. http://tiny.pl/z4r3

I seriously need to groom myself. I look like teen wolf! It's time for a haircut and a shave! Let's see if I actually do it THIS week! ;)

I hate voicemails, or rather I hate checking them. I just went through my work mailbox and I had 28 starting from Dec. 08. :(

Boy what a wrk day. I forgot that the bus sys don't have peek times on the weekend. Still waiting for a ride. :(, oh and rain!

Working on the weekend... I guess a public health emergency is a public health emergency! Enjoy ur wk-end. ;)

I am American and I have a dream, which came through today! We closed on our first home! Yah! It's a house party!

I'm thinking about switching to Windows XP, cause I can't get Battlefield 2 to load on Vista. *sob*

I finally got a chance to play Battlefield Heros! Wow, it's a great game. It's not Battlefield 2, but I'm so intrigued w/ their platform!

@bfheros Yah! I just got my beta key for Battlefield Heros via @GameSpot http://tiny.pl/zjjf

Finished my ergonomic consult, now it's back on MARTA to head to work!

So we're finished eating at TJ's Bistro. The kids r taking a nap as soon as we go home. So tired!

We've made a strategic move by going to the "big" park at 10:30a so they can wear themeselves out! :)

Wtf the bus broken down! So close to the train station too! :D

Damn! I'm on the short-bus again and the driver is driving like a bat out of hell! :/

I don't recall seeing *her* in the Contra game... I *do* recall this cover though... :D http://tiny.pl/zfjq

I'm updating !fedora 11 beta has about 700MB of stuff to download. :D

I wonder some times why they allow small buses on our route. It's a high traffic area- so now I'm on a small bus w/ LOTS of ppl. :/

Ah man, forgot my headphone at home. Now I get to sleep on the way to work w/o music... Not the same! :/

New blog post: Costello Buys a Computer http://ping.fm/sll3R - A classic tweaked for today's technology!

On our way home now, from the #park. Hope the kids will eat and nap just fine.

At the #park, Alex ate MY poptart... Grrrr!

Just our luck. The radiator is cracked, so we have to replace it! Grrrr!

At Pepboys now dropping off the car for diagnosis. I hope it doesn't take long, I'm hungry.

At a friend's house looking into a radiator issue I'm having.

On our way to pick up some 555 from @papajohns. Friday's delight!

Aight; props to @MARTA for handling my card. I have to now keep my receipts... that's not #green!

@MARTA is starting to screw me over w/ their sys. I bought 2 trips and AGAIN it's jipping me. I need a new card!

Rockin' the Jabra BT640 headphone. I'm a little concerned that ppl on the train will rob me! :)

Listening to @boagworld podcast has infused the love of web designing back in my heart - thanks fellas!

I'm feeling a little dizzy today, odd. My balance doesn't seem to be on point.

Finished feeding the kids their morning gruel, now it's time to put on some clothes and rush out the door. I love waking up late! !dads

Alright! It's lunch time. I brought stuff from home. BOooo - I wanna spend money. Saving is for the birds! ;)

I wish I had more free time. I need to create a native blackberry app for Twitter & Laconica.

On the train headed to work sipping on some McDonalds coffee. #tllts podcast is keeping me company.

I'm a little bumbed out... I can't go to my LUG meeting tomorrow cause I have "grown-up" things to do. :( IPv6 was the subject too! !ale

Ok now it's bad. I see a three-yr old with his pants as saggy as these teens. Not a pretty sight! :(

I'm at the #park at it seems like out of 10 bldgs, all the kids live in bldg G!? Odd... :/

Wish I had a camera phone... Stupid BB 8830! :/ #park

Nice to see my kids playing w/ other kids. I have more time to micro-blog! Mwahaha!

I think my evil scheme will payoff. The wife is going to #bn and the kids will be 2 tired 2 run a muck! :D

Fascilitating friendships between kids, what to look forward to at the #park! ;)

Leeanne is on the swings and Alex is playing Clone Trooper at the #park. How long can they keep this up!?

It's finally warm outside so I'm taking the kids to the park. !dads

Still in a meeting, getting sleepy now. Ahhhh...

Now leaving the restaurant for a 2pm meeting. Oh the life of mgnt, full of meetings.

At a luncheon w/ the CDC.goc Council for Mike Coss.

Watching the kids now 4 the past couple hrs... I am no longer motivated to work, but to find rest!

Watching B. Galactica. Weird how, in the future, they still use cardboard boxes to pack away things. I guess all their metal r in Cylons.

New blog post: Jiminy Crickets... What a Pig! http://ping.fm/JNtTR

Anyone using #mediawiki? I'd like to use it to house my business SOPs. Is that a good idea? I have only reg. Users can view the site.

Ooo, I just realized that I can't j-walk like I normally do, today. I actually have to use the crosswalk, so juvinile.

"See spot run", "see Marc hobble to the bus stop". I hate recovery time, sometimes.

Who's using http://redbox.com? When I first heard it I thought it was gay. Now we use it at least once a week. Free rentals on Monday too

See, this is why I love #floss and #linux, etc. 1wk after the release of kernel 2.6.27.19-170.2.35, there comes a fix for my #nvidia drvr.

#scifi channel is running Ninja Scroll tonight at 11p. This is one of the greatest anime every made. Make sure you don't miss it!

It's really nice out today. I'm at the park w/ Alex and just looking up at the clouds. !dads

Stuck on the couch watching Star Wars: Clone Wars w/ Alex. I hate being stuck on the couch, my butt hurts!

Finally having lunch w/ my wife, in the city of all places too. @ Landmark Diner

Quiz: I'm at the doctor's getting a procedure and it will help me keep money in my pocket? And has something to do with sterile

For some reason it's hard for me NOT to share about a procedure I'm getting done today. I'm not embarassed about it.

Just had a working lunch w/ a colleuge at Atlanta Fish Market in Buckhead. Very cool experience.

I put in a request to see if I can upgrade my phone to the BB Bold. Cross your fingers!

I'm cooking Oxtail for dinner tonight. This is very #black of me, but I am really excited to eat it. ;)

Kids school closed today due to the snowy weather yesterday. You can tell GA is NOT prepared for any snowy weather. :)

I just tested some AVI files I have on my hdd. With #mythtv installed, all the right codex's are installed too, sweet!

Show some luv to my old high school rival - Avery Hicks and listen to his group "KING" - http://ping.fm/T1JC4

Listening to @boagworld, ep. 153 and I'm getting more interested in font stacks... Go fig! How late am I to THAT game!

It was crazy, me watchin' the two kids while they "eat". Glad it's over but I'm hungry!

I plan on having lunch w/ my wife and 6 other co-workers today. Looking forward to it.

Just got into work... or workmode - big day today, but I'm dealing w/ a teen so we'll see if it goes good. I pick up my Samsung u740.

I feel all warm and cuddly inside. I just helped my second cousin (twice removed) setup her very own blog. http://krissymissy.com

So, who had this version of Snake Eyes when they were kids!? http://ping.fm/1vwvj Yo Joe!

Now that I'm officially done with wow I can clear out all those podcast feeds. Whew, only 12 feeds to listen to now!

Can someone tell me which format is better - RSS or ATOM? All my Google searches are too technically specific, I just want a simple answer.

Picking up my Star Wars DVD set at Walmart, very happy camper!

Ok, I finally made it! There are a bunch of older folks here.

Freedom Pkwy is really busy at night compared to the morning. I'm at a crawl! :( #atl

I'm trying not 2 think about it too much, but I'm really excited about my LUG meeting tonight. It's my first time. http://ale.org (central)

On my way to lunch. Gonna keep it cheap at the sushi joint today, but I also have work to do... So it's a "business lunch!" Party of one!

"Deify" from Disturbed has got to be my fav. song... Even though they are talking bad about pres. Bush!

Very challenging morning w/ the kids and getting them rdy. It's already 8a and I'm tired. I can imagine what the rest of the day will be!? ;)

Bank of America on I-85 and N. Druid Hills is so slow! It's driving me nuts!

Treating my wallet better than my body today by having lunch at Burger King! :(

On my way to the park with the kids, I have 20 min before sunset. !dads

On the bright side, this is the ultimate exercise on "how to work with distractions". !dads, pay attention! ;)

It's gonna be one of those "Mondays"! Working from home w/ the kids. Gotta keep my blood pressure under control! >:)

Let me tell you how cool my wife has become. We just ordered pizza via SMS from Papa Johns. What!?

I removed @viigo from my blackberry. It's too bloated with stuff and keeps crashing my bb.

Funny, I purposely did NOT jay-walk today and I missed the earlier bus. #;?!@( from now on THAT's all I'm doing "walking the mess out of Jay!"

Going to #valentines lunch with my wife. Time for a break in the day! Woot

I'm falling sleep on MARTA, again. I really gotto go to bed at night! Ugh!

My sister-in-law finally got a Twitter account. I'd like you all to stalk her and say "hi". Ha-ha http://ping.fm/vnl4W

I have realized... or come to grips w/ that I haven't played World of Warcraft in over 3+ weeks! My computer gaming days r on hiatus!

Zaboo gets his /facepalm experience. Watch the latest instalment of "The Guild" - http://is.gd/9Zjj

At lunch w/ two co-workers at the local Thai/Sushi joint!

I have to tell a client of 4 yrs that they NEED to pay me MORE to revamp their web app. I don't like to do it, but it's necessary!

Got my morning workout: did a little sprint from the train station to my bus (as it was leaving)! I made it. ;)

Does God give out browny pts? I have a headache but the kids NEED outside time; we're at the park. ;)

Enroute home, listening to podcasts

We're eatting a cookie cake, it's gigantic!!! At least 12inch in dia.

Playing Rock Ban (wii) at my friend's house. Total newb!

Our family en route to yet another Cucky Cheese birthday party! I swear! Alex's b-day party WILL be somewhere else!

I have this love/hate, trust/not-fully-trust Google apps, yet I keep coming back to being dependent on 'em. Showing iGoogle sum luv again...

Oh boy, I wish #fedora had gnome-do v0.8.x in their repos. All the new features are in 0.8.x - and it's killing me compiling it.

This is sooo needed. I can't keep my kids off my cell phone. Get 'em their own! http://tiny.cc/JP4wH

Oh oh, I also forgot my laptop and badge so I'm starting the day off on the good foot!

I just looked at my cal. while going to work. I have 3 back2back meetings. I won't get any work done until 2pm!?

You know how you drop the laundry off before doing a workout, well it's cold out here and my wife is gonna get the second load, right hon!? :)

Finished with my all-day meeting for our web council. Now I'm trying to pack up and make the 5 or 5:20p bus.

Breakfast this morning was a banana and two chocolate chip cookies... oh and a bottle of water. I am ready for the day!

I made it to the right campus with a couple minutes to spare. No one knows of my commuting blunder, except 4 u! ;)

On the road headed home... For those that had the opportunity, how was/is the game?

Wrapping things up @ the SuperBowl party. I spent my time watching the kids! ;)

On the MARTA again, in #atl, headed to wrk we have this love/hate relationship!

It's official, I'm now the proud owner of http://linuxbowl.com - Now what do I do with it? Let's make it a community thing!

Darn it! I can't login to http:identi.ca via blackberry. Can anyone else get in?

Shows you what I know... I didn't realize the Super Bowl is this Sunday! Who's playing anyway? If it was the Linux Bowl - I'd know!!!

It's raining and I left my wallet in my car which is at the other end of campus. So I'm taking the shuttle but it's a much longer ride.

I know, I'm terribly late, but did you know that you can send SMS messages to your friends using GoogleTalk! I hate using my phone. ;)

Omg traffic is crazy today in #atl. I was trying to get to work early too. :(

I just found out that one of my higher-ups is using Ubuntu at home. Wow!? I didn't know gov. employees had bawls like that! Kudos to Linux!

Feelin' a bit stressed today. My flaws in project management are beginning to snowball. I need a vacation. :)

Wow, where is my head!? It's almost noon and I just realized today is Thursday. Maybe I should get some coffee!

oh boy, work has been really busy these past couple days. My head is spinning. Managing multi-threaded tasks suck!

Ok, I think I finally found a good Chinese spot on http://campusfood.com - Top Spice in #atl. Good deal!

The entire off. is watching the inauguration - either on their computers or in the mtng rooms with big screen tv. What a historic event!

On the last bus to wrk. Today in #atl is pretty cold. I wonder if I'll get to wrk in time 4 brkfst. We'll see.

Oh that was interesting. I sent a shutdoen signal to my VirtualBox Windows Guest and it shutdown my Linux, wow.

Have you ever felt that you were a part of something bigger than yourself. I do -> http://ping.fm/ZgqE7

At the bus stop waiting. Can't type too much very cold today. :)

Kind of stuck at the office later than normal - due to a web page update that needs to go out! Lucky me, eh!?

Not feeling so good today. I think the weather is finally getting to me. Gotta push through and get through this day. :D Oh happy Winter!

I have to turn off my cell phones while in the exhibit. Oh nooooo!

I found the exhibit, it's a bit nippy outside, but I have The Instance podcast to keep me company.

On MARTA headed to Atlantic Station for "Dialog in the Dark" Exhbit (wrk related fld trip). Getting off at Arts Cntr.

I'm bathing the kids, getting them readdy 4 bed! Seriously; how many of you want to know this!? :D

On our way to the best Jamaican restauranr in Fairburn, GA - Cliftons for some Ox tail and Curry goat.

On the phone w/ a client and vendor while traveling on MARTA. What a thing to juggle! :)

My thoughts on the state of Linux podcasting, inspired by Linux Outlaws - http://ping.fm/fhvJn

Anyone know a place where a friend of mine can take her laptop to get it checked out, in #ATL? She might have a bad power cord port.

Interesting how caffeine helps settle a headache. Listening to TWiT w/ LeVar Burton. I didn't know he was a film maker... and 52 yrs old!

On the last bus to work, boy is it cold today - and my headache is not helping. Coffee time when I get to wrk.

Both kids are at school and I'm back on the MARTA. Feels good not having to drive to work. :)

OK, time to pick up the kids from school. I wonder how Leeanne did her 2nd day of school.

Oh boy, just finished a 1 1/2 hour meeting. My arms hurt and I'm tired. Why can't they just do 1 hour.. that last stretch is rough!

I'd like to publically thank my wife 4 lunch. Salmon smothered in crmy sun-dried alfredo, w/ mash pot & veg. Folks at wrk r in awe!

In the breakroom waiting for an open microwave. I guess I always do lunch late cause this is a first. How frustrating.

Reviewing a gigantic web site, for work. Looking forward to finally finishing this task!

Microsoft is total bull! I tried to dwnld their open beta of Win 7 from their site and it wouldn't let me. It looks like it's an IE issue.

My wife helped me get both kids ready for school today, saved a full 40min.

Oh man, I'm playing with XRDP so I can remote into my Linux box from my Windows box at work. How sweet is that!

In #atl someone died on my normal route home. So now it's a made Google Map dash to find another route!

Another in-prompt-to movie night w/ my bro and his fam. Eagle Eye!

I thought about it and if I had a choice between an iPhone and a Storm; I'd go w/ a Storm.

Lots of traffic today on the highway.

Just dropped Alex off at school, nice to get back into the school routine. Only issue is I'm tired, but what else is new! :)

Making the kids some instant pancakes. Alex goes back to school tomorrow and Leeanne starts soon. That will be fun! :)

What a wasted day, I hate when I get headaches! :(

It's drizzling today and it's a bit cold. Taking my late lunch right now... Gotta keep it cheap! ;)

Star Wars: The Old Republic - Oh my god! When is it coming out!? http://ping.fm/OTtFP

Park is too cold, so it's time to head home.

On my way to the park with the kids.

I'm awake and bathed. What a way to start out the new year! I'll set the tone for cleanliness - it'll be the "Year of Clean Slate!"
