parking permit glue is a pain to get off when replacing the sticker. plus, they make you put it in an awkward location to remove. #

Halsted and Broadway are both an utter mess this morning. I feel for those who have to clean up. Could have been worse I guess. #
Not sure why the eastern block furniture movers I past on the way to the train were so humorous, but I couldn’t help but chuckle. #
Well, I did pass them in the past, but I passed them at the time. #
@downrightamazed listening to The Dark Clan in the morning makes for an interesting train ride. The Vampire Wore White popped into shuffle. #
21 floors up and I can hardly even get edge, let alone any decent 3g… Sad that data saturation isn’t higher, even here in Chicago. #
@JwKauffman the nature of our own stupidity is that rarely learn from neither mistakes or successes. in reply to JwKauffman #
Watching Californication with @boopany, “Apathy kills.” “I don’t care.” #

Watched Cloverfield with @boopany last night. We were both surprised that we liked it as much as we did. On the small screen even. #
Taking a break from the CHI Pride Parade at New Peking, watching out the windows. http://twitpic.com/8ovty #
Yes, had to turn off 3g. Too many openly gay iPhones out today. “Gay? Fine by me.” huzzah! Edge is slow but working. #
oops, rolled the ‘DSC_XXXX’ counter over on my D90 without noticing. Now I have several hundred pics with the same name. Gotta change that. #
Wading through the 1k+ pics that I shot today is a bit overwhelming. Pride photos will just have to wait. #
A small selection of the days photos:
2009 North Halsted Pride Fest Parade, Chicago http://tinyurl.com/mrp9jg There are quite a few more. #

@boopany and Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. with one of his many prints. Mr. Kennedy was as gregarious as his printmaking. http://tinyurl.com/lwydtm #

Was tempted for about 2 seconds by the $50 Windows 7 upgrade. Then decided to replace Vista with Ubuntu on my ailing HTPC. Boxee gets a go. #
Why was I using a PC for HTPC? Because all of my Macs were doing something useful. Vista just happened to be pre-installed. Much to my bane. #
Its one redeeming quality was watching the Beijing Olympics via Windows Media Center. Nice implementation. But those days are long gone. #
Tripped over the top step leaving the house. Have a scar under my bottom lip from the same when I was younger. Hence the usual soul patch. #
@boopany is not as excited as I about watching Bill and Teds Bogus Journey on Hulu. “No Way!” #
and in under 3 min her displeasure overwhelmed my ironic enjoyment. being “too old” must suck. #

@GreatDismal you win the prize for the first Michael Jackson reference in my stream. And with fine amount of snark. (even if it was a RT) in reply to GreatDismal #
Am considering today a #iphone #3gs #battery #fail day. I want you to be at least as good as my 2 year old 1st gen iPhone. #

@tweetie @atebits thrown off by the ‘hard’ switch between portrait and landscape keyboard instead of using the accelerometer to switch. #
Guess what AP Mobile, this is not breaking news. Nor is it worthy of a push notification. #iPhone #push #fail #apmobile http://twitpic.c … #
@sueusidols that should have ended with http://twitpic.com/8azrj not some chopped off garbage. in reply to sueusidols #
@tweetie allowed me to go over the char limit but the @twitter API returned a fraction of the url. Full tweet on the web #double #fail #

@downrightamazed I saw The Cranberries in Philly in a giant Amphitheater back in ’99. Collective Soul opened for them. Great show. in reply to downrightamazed #
There are at least five of you out there – RT @zefrank: HardTimes :: Five People :: http://bit.ly/BvfZJ #
Brooklyn Brewery’s East India Pale Ale to the rescue! http://tinyurl.com/n2aymw This makes up for the rest of the day! #
My favorite jeans just developed a hole in the left knee while coding. I’m that hard core. Strange seating positions are too much to handle. #
