- Took the stray kitten in to get fixed last week. Old joke: why do they call it "fixed" if it wasn't broken before? #
- All the cool kids are getting their iPhone 4s today. It's nerd peer-pressure, I tell you. Everyone's drinking the Apple Kool-Aid #
- Oh nos! iPhone 4 bugs already showing up. Enjoy the public product testing phase, left-handed suckers: http://bit.ly/c9jGl0 #
- Nerding out at a Star Trek Convention #trekexpo Currently watching Eddie McClintock @thereeleddiemcc #
- Speaking of, @thereeleddiemcc says he's honored to be nominated for @AirlockAlpha Portal award; his first recognition as an actor! #
- Now seeing Joel Gretsch of "V" (and The 4400) on stage at #trekexpo #

Weekly Twitter Digest for 2010-06-14
- Hung with @mariancall & fans at Claremore Peppers last night. Annoyed/amused them with Cliff Clavinesque Oklahoma trivia #
- A girl after my own heart: @Dichenlachman: Grew up on apple tech. Can't help it. #
- Editing interview vids of @MarianCall taped this morning @CosmoCafe. She's heading down to Texas, y'all. #
- On the road again… briefly. Hotfooted down to Dallas on a miscalculated whim. #
- Actually, that was last night. My iPhone just remembered to send it. #
- Apple did me right: replaced "swollen" battery on my MacBook Pro past warranty. The biggest tech co in the world can afford to be generous #

- Playing with iMovie & DV Sony HandyCam. My first "haul" video. Yes, I'm thrifty: http://bit.ly/9us9R8 #
- Considering the micro four-thirds Panasonic DMC-GH1 – or is there a better deal on a DSLR-like camera which shoots 1080p/24? #
- iPhone update: got all pieces to repair the broken bits, then managed to lose one tiny screw. These things are built by elves, I tell you #
- Not that I need another distraction: got a MacBook with cracked screen via craigslist earlier today for $100. Gonna YouTube the repair #
- It's alive… Alive! My resurrection of iPhone complete. How it still runs after what I did to it is beyond me. #
- Currently listening to the lovely @mariancall play in Claremore, OK of all places #
