• Are you going to see Harry Potter HBP (6) at midnight? #
• @ChellaBear I will be. My ticket says 12:02 theater. in reply to ChellaBear #
• @a_askew Where are you watching it? Is your 12:04 theater going to have as good of sound as the 12:01 one? I hope so. in reply to a_askew #
• @nsstcweather All is quiet in the #Shoals. Never heard any hail, nor saw any roadway flooding- for what that's worth. Keep up the good work! in reply to nsstcweather #
• Attention podcasts I listen to as I go to bed- COMPRESSION, please. Waking up 2 ur out-tro music blaring really is no fun. @hpprogs - k? :) #
• @bedavidson Yeah. I understand about the midnight showing. @MalloryMartin is in the same boat. BTW, I checked - August 6 will be great! in reply to bedavidson #
• (part 3 of 3) If you click the harmless looking link, it takes you 2 a heavily sponsored search page Powered by answers.com, w/ 7 ads on it. #
• (part 2 of 3) That's from NYT article- http://bit.ly/sJ8or. The irony? If you highlight it or any word, a link pops up with "lookup word." #
• (part 1 of 3) “Consumers have a right to know when they’re being pitched a product,” said Richard Cleland, an assistant director at the FTC. #
• Misdirected: Sen. Durbin criticized USSC for upholding deadlines established by law, saying the RULING defied common sense. No, the LAW did. #
• @King_Evan You make a good point. The case is certainly too complex for twitter (it did make it to the USSC, after all), but my point was... in reply to King_Evan #
• @King_Evan .. my point was that the Senator's comments were misdirected criticism. He said the *ruling* defied common sense, but if ... in reply to King_Evan #
• @King_Evan .. if the *law makers* would do their jobs and legislate with *common sense*, then the case wouldn't need the USSC to decide it. in reply to King_Evan #
• @King_Evan FWIW, that case seems very complex. What other deadlines might b nullified by ruling otherwise? Should law dictate private pay?.. in reply to King_Evan #
• @King_Evan .. No one forced her to keep the job if she wasn't happy w/ the pay. Was it even sexism? etc.. Not as simple as Durbin implied. in reply to King_Evan #
• @crystal @spam I'm still not listed in search and the help ticket is not getting any reply. Can you help fix this, please? Thanks. #
• Interesting post via @Britannica: Animal Farm is a classic today, but TS Eliot originally rejected it for publication. http://bit.ly/10qjuJ #
• I noticed on this iPhone app http://bit.ly/18ZRGZ most of the "reviews" read like company-speak. Fake customer reviews = no trust = no deal. #
• is tired of the balls and strikes references. Don't you realize they only show that CJOTSC Roberts > senators in coming up with analogies? #
• @bkbeall You're probably right. Meanwhile, I reported it to Apple, asking them to investigate. in reply to bkbeall #
• I wonder if, after all these years, if the $ spent on weather delays would have offset the $ spent on launching from slower moving Texas. #
• via trusted source in Iran: IRAN URGENT: in few hours 14 people are scheduled to be HANGED in public in Iran!! Please RT #iranelection #iran #
• I hate idiot cops that rather pull a trigger than think: Chief tasers 14yr old- prong penetrates skull and shocks brain! http://bit.ly/hH34J #
• @nsstcweather Unless I'm mistaken, it should be Sunday night storms, right? Rather than Monday night? You're working too late at night. :) #
• @nsstcweather Anytime. For a moment there, you had me convinced that I had somehow missed a day, and that it was 24 hours from now. in reply to nsstcweather #
• Media should use the unambiguous 'delayed' rather than trying to sound "NASA hip" using 'scrubbed' which many confuse for a permanent no-go. #
• Demanding the source code to USA's OS- 'the laws need to be readily available to all, not locked to be purchased' http://ff.im/5ckar #
• Libraries are fascinating places, but as so long as they are limited to sorting atoms, rather than bits, I shall never find them useful. #fb #
• Just replaced all the remaining W bulbs w/ CFLs. Now off 2 the movies 4 HBP. Follow @tollieRSV. I think I may use that account 2 tweet 2nite #
• @fleurdeliz The death of atoms based delivery of digital media seems more and more immanent. Rightfully so, perhaps. in reply to fleurdeliz #
• Again, I'll be tweeting from @tollieRSV tonight, since @twitter hasn't got this account back in search. But I'll always see @tollie replies. #
• @AlmostWilder if you're still in Flo area, MS Walmart has 2 Griffin iPod FM car transmitters half off ($30) that work well w/ the iPhone. in reply to AlmostWilder #
• @a_askew @fleurdeliz @raldy @emanderson Well? Your thoughts?You can dm me if they are spoiler-y. I was so-so on the lightning struck tower. in reply to a_askew #
• @a_askew Also, there's a HUGE hint not found n the book. My movie order (fav to least fav) 3, 2, 5, 6, 1, 4. Book order: 6, 7, 4, 5, 3, 1, 2 in reply to a_askew #
• My raw, initial #HBP reactions: http://bit.ly/z70UE
  @a_askew @edmanderson @EmeraldArielle @fleurdeliz #
• Watching NASA TV. Looks like we're about to come out of the T-9 hold with a green range. (That means #Shuttle launch just after 5 pm CDT.) #
• Wondering if they're going to cover the apparent large piece of debris during the Shuttle's roll at launch during this press conference. #
• @nsstcweather @danwhnt Is the stuff in TN right now going to be significant in the #Shoals later tonight? Thanks. #
• @nsstcweather Thank you very much. in reply to nsstcweather #
• Probably going to see power outages from the wind gusts. Some buildings are losing siding, traffic lights are swinging to extremes. #
• @nsstcweather Many trees down via scanner. I went driving. Saw one building lose siding, weighted signs rolling, traffic lights past 90. in reply to nsstcweather #
• @bamaweather lol. You almost sound disappointed that you have this power. in reply to bamaweather #
• Twitter Search is broken in so many ways... http://pix.im/cDOE6 #
• This is a fraudulent website: http://pix.im/V152x If you see this on your computer, ignore it. Or you can contact me for help. #
• How did I not know about iTwitter for the iPhone? In many ways, it surpasses Tweetie and TwitterFon - including limited Push notifications. #
• @at_phillips Yep. Thus limited, but iTwitter has some other good features too. in reply to at_phillips #
• Listen to Apollo 11 mission audio in real time, exactly 40 years later (happening now): http://bit.ly/RHqPs #
• On the History channel right now: "Modern Marvels: Fast Food Tech." I think if I watched that, I'd have a psycho-sematic induced heart atck. #
• Grammar Evolution or Why do we teach 3rd graders cursive? http://ff.im/5kQy7 #
• "Why do we teach 3rd graders grammar?" My reply to a completely wrong TimesDaily article: http://bit.ly/L7AET #
• 911 oper hangs up 3 times! on 17y/o girl calling for EMS because her dad is having a stroke. Why? B/c she cussed. Video: http://bit.ly/ncXwh #
• "Why do we teach 3rd graders cursive?" My reply to a completely wrong TimesDaily article: http://bit.ly/L7AET #
• I'm not a @FoxNews hater, but can we get this right? Buzz Aldrin was on Apollo 11, not Apollo 13. 11 landed on the moon. 13 did not. kthxbye #
• @HsvTimes Actively monitor tweets from the Huntsville area and RT news. Tweet breaking news. in reply to HsvTimes #
• Amazon deletes Orwell books from Kindles, because apparently, despite being 60 years old, they're not public domain in the US. Canada? yes. #
• So, in honor of our ridiculously broken copy-wrong system, here are some helpful Canadian links: http://bit.ly/Dfzi9 & http://bit.ly/154Rgk #
• RT @heroespodcast: We're live recording a new 10th Wonder! Join us -- http://live.heroespodcast.com #
• I probably disagreed with his politics, and I'm glad that information no longer over values one anchorman- but- much respect for Cronkite. #
• Updated my RTremover to offer an option to filter @ replies (I don't) and to handle a variation on the RT format. #
• Just drove by a pool where a near drowning occured last month, only to see the only guard on their large pool off stand, chatting with kids. #
• Drove by the pool again. Now there's NO guard on the big pool- no guests in it, but no barriers to prevent kids from going in unnoticed. #
• @tiger I've heard you're the person 2 help get my tweets back in search. I'm pretty sure it's a false flag, rather than a bug. Can you? Thx. #
• #NASA: SWAT teams have been using jawbone technology for > 10yrs. Why are u still using boom mics, exposed to airflow, that u can't adjust? #
• @tiger Thanks. I do, but the tickets just give me auto-reply stuff about changing usernames, "known problems" (but does not apply here) etc. in reply to tiger #
• @tiger You want me to @ reply you later, or - what's good for you? I just get tired of auto-replies from the ticket system that are n/a. Thx in reply to tiger #
• Brought 2 my attn via @MK2Fac3: "AT&T Is A Big Steaming Heap Of Spongebob" http://pix.im/kyVYC (mostly due to http://bit.ly/G2AmC) #
• Now that I've read http://bit.ly/endve, I'll say, it's epic & right on, except AT&T has failed worse & in more ways than his blog goes into. #
• .@Parislemon FWIW, you can also check your ATT voicemail by calling your own number, then pressing * when the greeting is played. Good post. #
• @tiger Correction: turns out they closed the tickets w/o me ever hearing from a real person. My issue still exists. Can you help sometime? in reply to tiger #
• I wish everyone would switch over to the slim case #DVD cases. It's easier on the #environment and it doubles my shelf capacity. No brainer. #
• @tiger Thanks very much. I've been on twitter since Jan 07 ("the good ol' days"?). It kinda hurts to be half-flagged as spam. :) in reply to tiger #
