I apparently don’t know the “tense” of verbs…can’t wait to see what my score on formal writing proficiency is… #
The Red Sox are going to trade for Mark Kotsay? Not quite a big name pickup… #
They’re booing A-Rod in Yankee stadium…don’t they realize when there’s a 4 run gap, he’s the most dangerous hitter in baseball? #
Okay, so A-Rod struck out, finishing up a solid 0-5 effort. I assume he’ll be unstoppable for the rest of the series.. #
LPGA sure is getting a lot of coverage over their new “speak English” policy. I hope people have read it before they go off on it… #
Option 6 gives you the “Section Sign” if you’re taking law notes on your computer: § #
My torts professor takes attendance..goody… #
With the monsoon on the horizon, probably not the best idea to go for a run outside #

It’s picture day at the law school tomorrow…and I haven’t worn a tie since my high school graduation…I can now tie a windsor in my sleep #
It’s about 30 minutes until class starts and the room is about 1/4 to 1/3 full…got to love not knowing if there will be a seating chart… #
Kindle 2.0 designed by Frog Design…and I mean, who doesn’t love Frog Design? #
Someone else is being tech support for the whole class…letting them get their wireless networks up, etc…better her then me… #
There is a fundamental understanding problem here…IP Address != MAC address… #
Yeah, I definitely missed the boat on this case #
Unless the guys is a complete witch with photoshop, my guess is that picture taking was an unmitigated disaster… #
Huh…no Bluetooth in Android.. #
Vin Diesel making my day by telling MTV there will be not 1, but 2…count ‘em..2..Chronicles of Riddick sequels… #
@spicysalsa No bluetooth API…you can still use headsets and stuff…Future support “but [they] don’t know when”… #
“The defendant was an insane person” #
Seats have been acquired…that was a horrible, horrible process… #
Finally, some real tech news…Steve Jobs parks in a handicap space. #
Listening to the Dark Knight soundtrack while reading isn’t very effective at blocking out other distractions…I just want to see the movie #
Jason Bay drives one in…that’s what I liked to see… #

First class about to start…so much tension in the room…tension and silence.. #
Ugh…pretty cruddy time slot for our makeup class…Tuesday from 3:50 to 4:50… #
Amazon’s doing a textbook version of the Kindle…I’d be all over that… #
First class was pretty laid back…this professor is erasing the board though…never a good sign…especially in this dungeon style room… #
@spicysalsa Yeah, I got my books for this semester…I was thinking long term..Plus, I wouldn’t mind carrying a kindle instead of case books #
Yeah, I’m downloading a Subversion client to update my TextMate install with the DokuWiki bundle to help me take notes…yeah, I’m that guy #
Scratch that previous tweet…Versions’ website isn’t playing nicely with Speeddownload and Safari… #
Finally found a link in the Google Group about Versions so I can download the frakkin’ thing..grrr…arg… #
DokuWiki bundle installed / TextMate Project setup…I’m rocking now…I guess this is better than taking notes in Eclipse… #
@spicysalsa How long did it take you to get to the point where you could sit on the couch? #
@spicysalsa Got ya. #
Last class of the day…starts at 2:30…room is already full though…everyone trying to get their ideal seat for the rest of the year… #
First day of classes done…not too bad…time to hit the gym… #
Wow…McCain got the support of Daddy Yankee. I think that tops Affleck and Madonna. #

@spicysalsa That’ll make it so much easier to track Brian Dawkins injury updates…glad I’ve got the Eagles as my Fantasy team defense. sigh #
An athlete from Cuba was banned for life for kicking the ref in the face after being disqualified in taekowndo: http://tinyurl.com/6fntod #

Del Carnen shut the door. Nice job Manny. #

@astoldbyjen Nah..,not really… #
@astoldbyjen It’s pretty much a love story / comedy with a little but of action… #
@astoldbyjen Technically it’s PG-13…I don’t remember anything glaring…some action-y scenes, no sex or nudity…maybe a little language?? #
I very rarely get comics on Saturday…the cute girl working the desk might change that (yes, @spicysalsa she did have some ink…) #
1L / Faculty softball tournament was fairly decent, don’t normally do the first-base style stretching on a day-to-day basis; soreness coming #
@adstoldbyjen Too bad…I would be all for a LotR marathon… #

@ewerickson Nice work on Hannity. #
@ewerickson Wow, the 2nd part was even better. Good stuff. #
Just finished my first case briefs…yes, we received homework on orientation day 1 to discuss on orientation day 2. #
Arrived in my first room of the day for orientation…Did not find the most direct route to the law school from the parking structure yet.. #
Mock class was decent…not looking forward to an hour and 40 minutes of presentations on organizations… #
The Pro Bono coordinator looks like Amy Acker #
@astoldbyjen Sweet and nerdy… #
I’m pretty pumped that the presidential election is going to be decided by the number of houses the candidates have…Wait…it’s not? Darn #
Law School Orientation complete. Not too bad. Looking forward to starting class. #
@jmilles Thanks man. Much appreciated…and to answer you question from earlier..Angel Amy Acker…never heard of Wishbone… #

Got to love Olympic dream analysis #
@spicysalsa Got to catch ‘em all!! #
2 “let” service aces?? I think they need to check these nets… #
I love the annoucers implying the Chinese team is cheating… #
Another gold medal for the girls from the US…now Wang can go tend to her elbow…. #

Looks like some solid updates to Mailplane…better attachment creation and Omnifocus integration.. #
Long day for orientation…looks like I setup my Wifi correctly on my iPhone for access to the UNC network…shutting off 3G… #
Sitting in a room where they are going to "video stream" in our orientation lecture…grad school in the 21st century.. #
And yes…the screen saver on the projection computer in a Windows XP logo… #
The video techs need to call @alexlindsey to learn how to do lighting… #
@astoldbyjen What happened in softball?? #
Bought the two books they had used copies of here…having the other ones coming via Amazon prime.. #

Shawn and Nastia coming up on beam…I am cheering more for Shawn on this one… #
They need to get Shawn Johnson to just stand there, smile and give thumbs up during all Olympic events… #
I always get distracted by the 15 foot tall Paula Creamer poster as you walk into Goldsmith in Raleigh #
Watching this US v Spain match makes me look at women’s field hockey in a whole new light.. #
Jott is going to start charging for their service…not that it matters to me, I stopped using that server like 3 weeks ago… #

Downloading the new iPhone upload…if anyone has had problems with it, feel free to stop me… #
Loving the analysis in gymnastics scoring…I’m sure when they finally air what happens to Nastia in the uneven bars, there will be more… #
My iPhone firmware is updating…if you think I’m scared, you’d be right… #
@Catchatorie No…they’re showing it in 30 something minutes…they just flashed the graphic.. #
@astoldbyjen Did you just watch the pilot for that? #
@astoldbyjen Okay…I guess I’ll keep said pilot in my queue for viewing for now, but if you watch it and see it’s terrible, let me know… #
@spicysalsa Walsh and May v. Brazil was fun to watch, the girls Trampoline is a little different, and I’m a fan of the women’s pole vault. #
iPhone is working with the new firmware…we’ll see if the messed up typing in SMS comes back like it did before #
They haven’t explained the tie breaker yet…I have read the rundown 5 times, and I don’t get it… #
They just explained it..Just shows how screwy the Olympics are.. #
Printing my North Carolina at the DMV…whole process took 10 minutes because I had an appointment…people are giving me the evil eye.. #

Can’t say another hour of women’s marathon will be exciting television… #
So was Harry Potter was moved from Nov. 21 of this year to July 17th of next? Or from Nov. 21 of next year to July 17 of next year… #
@spicysalsa Wow…that’s a major move… #
@spicysalsa Well, maybe this 1500 meter swim race will be over by the time that movie’s out… #
@spicysalsa Marathon’s finally over…2 hours and 20 minutes of live coverage…so good… #
That guy can sure anchor a relay. #
@astoldbyjen Oh, I’m not taking anything away from Phelps. But if Phelps is your ace, then Lezak has emerged as the hammer in the bullpen. #
15 minutes until the Men’s 100 M…it’s supposed to be a pretty cool race…I just wish I didn’t already know the winner… #
Wow…NBC had that Michael Phelps DVD ad ready to go didn’t they… #
@astoldbyjen They say this race is pretty crazy…might want to give it a shot… #
That was just sick #
Watching this match…I’d say Xue Chen has herself a new fan.. #
Interesting to see if the numbers has been getting for the Olympics stay strong without Phelps swimming anymore… #

@spicysalsa I hope you’re not wasting DVR space trying to record Burn Notice in HD.. #
@spicysalsa Mine was just the USA logo on a blue screen for the first 5 minutes…there are commercials on now, so it looks like it’s ba … #
@spicysalsa Phew. I thought they were going to pre-empt or black it out…like TW only got USA HD for the Olympics stuff… #
Well..shoot…looks like Amanda Beard d didn’t even make the final of the 200m breast.. #
Nice job by Soni in that…just out willed Jones… #
Wow. That was just unreal. #
These Olympic judges are ridiculous. #
Let’s see how the judges screw her on that routine… #
@spicysalsa I think Tim and Bella agree with me… #
Wow. Shocking the girl from China got a score that is “too high” #
Hey…Hey…They got one right.. #
Clone Wars only with a 21% positive tomato rating…I guess that’s not really a surprise.. #
Way to be Nastia. Show them that an 18 year y/o isn’t too old to compete against 14 year olds. The Olympics: I Love this Game! #
And the US pulls the Gold and Silver. Nice work ladies. #
It was worth staying up to watch the behind the scenes footage of Bella watching Nastia. #
Jimmy Rollins thinks the Philly fans are front runners? The only ones I know are just resigned to the fact their teams don’t win big games. #

@astoldbyjen Is that a crack on Amanda? #
@astoldbyjen I did too…she’s there…saw her with LeBron the other day.. #
@spicysalsa Yeah, that sounds more like what I heard… #
Stephanie Rice and her girls are putting a major beat down on the the field. #
I have never seen someone fall on the rings before. That was pretty freaky, #
@spicysalsa That was just insane. #
@spicysalsa I’m glad I figured out that you can actually view NBC Olympics video on my iPhone. I’ll be watching that fall all day tomorrow. #
@spicysalsa…Woah, wait…your dad was a gymnast? #
@ohammersmith nbcolympics.com The user agent recognizes your iPhone and gives you a differently formatted site and the video in quicktime. #
Last day of work, then a few days to get ready…1st day of Law School orientation only 1 week away… #
Heather Mitts’ boyfrien beat Roger Federer? Shows either how much Roger has fallen or how little he cares about the Olympics. #
John Lynch is a Patriot. That’s what I’m talking about. Going over the middle with Harrison and Lynch ready to light you up, let’s see that. #
In case you were wondering, he does in fact love it…when you call him Big Papi… #
I like it when the Red Sox play the Rangers. You frequently hear “His 2nd hit of the inning”. #

@spicysalsa A little bit of quality Rangers pitching…a few hanging breaking balls…and 13 guys batting in 1 inning… #
My Carolina blue / Clemson orange laptop bag is just as obnoxious as you’d expect…now if I can just get that 1/2 and 1/2 shirt… #
Who gave this announcer a telestrator? Who thought that was a good idea? #
I wonder if that neck tat on that swimmer chick is real. #
Are you serious?? Another gold and another world record!? #
Yeah, the Red Sox needed to hit a HR in the bottom of the 8th to get a lead…even after scoring 10 runs in the first… #
Rice v Coughlin…who you got? #
Rice wins…Coughlin with the bronze…not too shabby… #
@spicysalsa Maybe they’ll interview her for ya…of course we would miss out on the Chinese “16″ year olds… #
They put them in a machine ?!? #
Good grief…he’s crushing them… #
McDonalds should have given away the chance to anchor this relay with the purchase of a Big Mac. Gold medal included. #
That was pretty impressive. #
“We have been reluctant to talk about this…” Really? That’s a little bit of a stretch. #
Ooooh…laying the foundation for some scoring funny business… #
@astoldbyjen Yeah, looks like another late night of nail biting Olympics coverage… #
Ack…I think I just spazzed on twitter and did a rare “double tweet and delete”…that might be known as a “randy off” in twitter land #
It’s official. I’ve watched too much of this stuff. #
Wow..gotta love Bella dropping the “half the team is underaged” blast. #
At least Ostermann is pitching on CNBC right now…good way to end my Olympic watching day… #
@astoldbyjen listed at 6′2″…yeah…that’s a tall girl #
@astoldbyjen Huh…I thought they always listed people taller than they actually are….interesting. Enjoy the game. #

Woah…Nat was not looking strong coming down the stretch there, but she pulled out the win. Nice job. #
Come on Aaron…wow…what a comeback..US swimming has been pretty insane these past couple of days.. #
@spicysalsa Even a gold medal win without setting a World Record would seem like a failure at this point… #
@astoldbyjen You missed those 3 races !?! #
@astoldbyjen Just shaking my head..I expect more from you.. #
@astoldbyjen I’ll get back to you on that…doesn’t seem right discussing anything negative when Phelps is about to swim again… #
@golfgirl No, they didn’t make it. #
@golfgirl Not sure about the details…I just know I remembered reading it…not much info in the article: http://thebiglead.com/?p=7031 #
I cannot fathom why NBC is tape delaying coverage on the West Coast. I feel for everyone out there missing out on seeing this stuff live. #
This entire review process for gymnastic is ridiculous. #
So much pressure on this kid…it’s not right… #
Wow…he really came through…if they get a medal, that’s a solid story… #
@spicysalsa Yeah, that’s Ollie…the Green Arrow… #
Nice by those kids. Congratulations on the medal. They earned it. #
Only two more days of full-time work before I take a week to get ready to head back to school. Pretty exciting. #
@spicysalsa I guess I’ll just have to try and gut it out… #
Check the iTunes specials for the week…Seasons 1 & 2 of The Hills only 99 cents per episode..get there.. #

@astoldbyjen Is the gymnastics live or tape delayed? #
Huh…I thought this was going to be a little lighter interview with the President then it’s turned out to be… #
Solid interview with the President. I would have preferred more questions like the last one, but at least Bobby got to play journalist. #
This whole Manadou story is just so strange. Training in different countries, her rival dating her ex-boyfriend, scandalous internet photos #
Insert joke about the French giving up here #
Just as I was telling someone how I just can’t get into the Olympics, they go and have that finish in the 4×100…unbelievable… #
@astoldbyjen Good use of “asshat” in your Facebook status #
@spicysalsa Yeah, you can apply all your NASCAR related knowledge about drafting to a whole other sport now #
@spicysalsa Yes, it’s recording… #
@spicysalsa sounds like you need to unplug and reboot, since my guide has a title for this show #
@spicysalsa Yeah, I couldn’t handle missing that either…on a different note, my iphone now properly corrects your Twitter name #
Hmm…is Logan Tom and her teammates worth staying up another hour.. #
@astoldbyjen I’m about 3 weeks behind on that show…and I doubt I will catch up during the Olympics… #

So is there a new series on NBC this fall staring Christian Slater? I mean…I’ve heard rumors, I just wish NBC would confirm or deny them. #
Cris Collinsworth is doing Olympics coverage ?!? #
@astoldbyjen Yeah, I was being slightly sarcastic…I saw 8 ads for the show in a 20 minute block #
@spicysalsa I assume they added Football so we could combine Olympics coverage with Brett Favre coverage #
@spicysalsa You are not watching HD beach volleyball? #
The American in me cheers for Hoff, the guy in me cheers for Stephanie Rice.. #
And the records keep falling… #
NBC making ESPN use still photos for their Olympic highlights is hilarious. Of course, not allowing ESPN to promote the games might hurt #
I wonder if @techcrunch is going to expand on his “I can’t recommend apple hardware” due to his recent 2 days with a top of the line macbook #
