@sarahEmagee btw, if you invite @nathanfillion to Techtards… ask him why R. Castle is always switching between iPhones and WinPhones.

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee Well, there ya go! All is not lost! Now, @nathanfillion is happy!

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee Well, it’s possible you’re just not Firefly fan material.

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@oliviamunn Hmm… really, it isn’t obvious? Hmm…

via Adium in reply to oliviamunn

@sarahEmagee ‘Cause you’re just a funny, funny person.

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@ryan Not… Tom? Tom Cruze?

via Adium in reply to ryan

@sarahEmagee But, OTOH, playing around with Hudson to force master-slave builds… that’s just priceless.

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee Erm… Hmm… Well, some peeps are just not meant to be social…

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee At first, when I heard the “Crack!”, I thought it was the shovel I was using… then I realized: it was my back. :’(

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee Well, at least you’re not SHOVELING SNOW! (Right? Right?)

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@trutriciahelfer Curious… You and Julie kinda look like sisters in that photo…

via Adium in reply to trutriciahelfer

Anybody use MATLAB a lot?

via Adium

@sarahEmagee Stay up all night! After all, we know how much fun the Sarah is when she is up all night!

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@CaliLewis … Oddly enough, it seems that a lot of the comments there merely reflect your tweet… So, the answer would probably be Yes.

via Adium in reply to CaliLewis

@sarahEmagee Ah, yes, the magic of delayed tweets! It’s like you were typing in tweets one at a time, except rapidfire.

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@WilliamShatner You AND Amanda? On the same screen? Whoa! Didn’t we JUST have Christmas?

via Adium in reply to WilliamShatner

@trutriciahelfer Hey, remember The Equalizer? Wouldn’t it be nifty if you played a female Equalizer in a remake?

via Adium in reply to trutriciahelfer

@trutriciahelfer Somebody looks like she’s having FUN! :-)

via Adium in reply to trutriciahelfer

@ambermac It’s much less a social tool, and more geared as a professional support offering. Biz and gov’t areas w/ lots of flux rely on it.

via Adium in reply to ambermac

@ambermac For some areas, like the Washington DC region, LinkedIn is a valuable hiring tool.

@trutriciahelfer well, at least you fit the martini into the schedule! priorities! :-)

via Adium in reply to trutriciahelfer

@nacin wow, just realized that you’re actually in the DC area (saw the WP3.1 RC3 note)… OOC, where’s the get-together you mentioned?

via Adium

@Veronica Makes you wonder: if you CAN’T trust Mom, who CAN you trust?!?

via Adium in reply to Veronica

@trutriciahelfer The DMV, right? (Horrible flashbacks ensue…)

via Adium in reply to trutriciahelfer

@sarahEmagee Y’know… have you thought about starting a site called, “The World According to Sarah”? It’d be fun. (And I get royalties)

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee Nope, it *IS* secret lingo meaning “he hates ‘em”. At least, for the paranoid readers in the crowd. ;-)

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@jennakimjones Well, I suppose that’s understandable, given the hangin’ out. But it’s possible you MAY be the worst person in the world. :-P

via Adium in reply to jennakimjones

@jennakimjones Hmm… Is that like a frequent occurrence, or something that happens only occasionally? :-?

via Adium in reply to jennakimjones

@CaliLewis Well, it may be known as PALRO, but we’ll always think of “him” as “Hal”. :-)

@trutriciahelfer Ferrets. Gotta get yourself some cuddly ferrets!

@majornelson What?!? No bacon-flavored triple-deep-fried sauerkraut? It’s not complete w/o it!

via Adium in reply to majornelson

@sarahEmagee Do you ever sleep?!? And if it’s 2 snacks, which would those be?

@sarahEmagee If you say it fast it enough, you turn into a Dungeon Master!

Hmm, the Adium 1.4.1 update is… curious.

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@majornelson And guys in Family cursing and taunting kids (also marked in Family) for no good reason. Just bad behavior.

via Adium in reply to majornelson

@majornelson Always guys in Recreation who get on the mike and start cursing out teammates on CoD TDM because they’re not the best. Sheesh.

via Adium in reply to majornelson

@majornelson Never really understood the gamerzone, since so many people didn’t seem to fit in Recreation or Family…

via Adium in reply to majornelson

@trutriciahelfer … but upon reflection, it almost makes as much sense without it.

via Adium in reply to trutriciahelfer

@trutriciahelfer … hmm… I was going to toss the word “laugh” in there somewhere, probably in place of the 1st “have”…

via Adium in reply to trutriciahelfer

@trutriciahelfer It’s okay, we won’t have at you and point fingers. I’m sure things went well. And if not, you’ll always have us! :-)

@majornelson That’d be a multi-restroom visit kind of beverage. Or it’s time for catheterization.

@sarahEmagee Time to scale out the servers? To the cloud?

@sarahEmagee Yeah, I’m a long-time Moleskine hardcover owner/user, but not sure about the Kindle part… but it’s very attractive.

With EA’s DLC sale, it’s time to round out the DeathSpank collection and the Dragon Age DLC set!

@sarahEmagee Do you have a recording of your conversation?

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee Would be interesting to have moire pattern PJ’s… ;-) But those are nice, too.

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@trutriciahelfer Ever notice how you seem to get cast as the deep conflicted character types?

via Adium in reply to trutriciahelfer

@sarahEmagee hmm… that was odd… could’ve sworn there was a “be” in there somwhere…

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee You guys must a riot in bars… not sure how tweeting fits… reminds me of those Sprint ads…

@sarahEmagee Not me. :-( And it’s a big news day, of sorts, to boot.

@oliviamunn Uh-oh! Your site is down for maintenance? Hmm…

via web in reply to oliviamunn

@sween Scary to think I actually know what you’re referring to! But is it Original D&D, D&D Basic, AD&D, or a current D&D version? Hmm…

via web in reply to sween

@sarahEmagee Have you given some thought to perhaps… pet shows?

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee You have a very eclectic viewing selection. And viewing appetite.

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@ginatrapani Next thing you know, it’ll be “to the mist”… or maybe, “to the low-hanging fog cover”. But like dad, at least they’re trying.

via Adium in reply to ginatrapani

@sarahEmagee So, did that involve barricading the door so peeps couldn’t get in?

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@feliciaday … Or, every time you happen to get an ice cream sammich, you also snag an ice pack! :-D

via web in reply to feliciaday

@feliciaday Nothing to worry about… plenty o’ other things to do… like CoD: B/Ops TDM. :-) … And yeah, watching sports.

via web in reply to feliciaday

@ryan But at least you can still tweet!

via Adium in reply to ryan

@ryan Happens to the best (and worst) of us. :-P

via Adium in reply to ryan

Decades, or even centuries, from now, what will historians think about us and our silly/amusing/alarming/banal tweets?

via Adium

@ginatrapani and esp. if you’re aware of a family history of venous stasis.

via Adium in reply to ginatrapani

@ginatrapani But you may also try a pair of below-knee compression stockings or hose, to reduce gravitational leg edema.

via Adium in reply to ginatrapani

@ginatrapani You may find yourself shifting from side to side occasionally while standing at your desk, to activate the venous pump.

via Adium in reply to ginatrapani

@ginatrapani 43Folder’s wiki page cites some more peeps reported to have used standing desks: http://tell.im/7h

via Adium in reply to ginatrapani

@ginatrapani Ah-ha! Was wondering about those prior tweets o’ yours! And I have a Jerker desk, too, albeit at a lower height…

via Adium in reply to ginatrapani

@samtaters What’s wrong with watching Miss America? (although I was probably in a massively scary TDM at the time…)

@samtaters So, are organic pine nuts more/less dangerous than regular pine nuts?

via web in reply to samtaters

@alisonbrie When you do that, do you feel the impulse to fire up iTunes or amazon.com?

via web in reply to alisonbrie

@jessicaalba If you have trouble with processed wheat products, then yes, going gluten-free would be a good idea, esp. w/ celiac issues.

via web in reply to jessicaalba

Yeah, yeah, I know… I’m eminently quotable! I’ve been told that a lot. ;-)

via Adium

Starbucks beverages are a nice guilty pleasure that helps smooth out the rough bumps from the daily grind. That’s all.

via Adium

@sarahEmagee Actually, I will be 1 of the working unfortunates tomorrow, too… :-/ Ah, such is life…

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee Hmm? I suspect you already have an idea about an appropriate place (as well as at least a few less-than-appropriate ones)…

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@margbrennan Probably never… But it’s still a funny mental image! :-D

via Adium in reply to margbrennan

@sarahEmagee Such a relaxing day… especially for folks who won’t be working tomorrow…

@sarahEmagee Hmm… venti 12-shot 2-pump peppermint 3-pump raspberry extra-hot americano?

@sarahEmagee Hmm… 2kewt, comparing the ins & outs o’ Canada…

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@ginatrapani I thought standing desks are intended for people who are moving around frequently. Sedentaries need not apply…

via Adium in reply to ginatrapani

@Veronica @ryan Then it’d be easier to keep track of your XBL progress, and fetch some WinPhone games, to boot.

via Adium in reply to Veronica

@Veronica @ryan Hate seeing lovers’ spats like this. Just split the difference and each get a WinPhone model.

via Adium in reply to Veronica

@ryan Sounds like a dev opportunity, eh?

via Adium in reply to ryan

@trutriciahelfer “Schweezle”?!? Really? Hmm… was thinking it looked more like “Doug” or “Mac”… ah well, goes to show ya: yanevaknow.

@majornelson Where are the floaty-air holos?

I like the fact that the Wikipedia entry has a listing for a type of critter known as “human”.

via Adium

Even Wikipedia has a page on terms of animal collectives: http://tell.im/7g

@trutriciahelfer (trivia) http://tell.im/7f — I thought there was another source that better defines each term… not sure where… :-/

@trutriciahelfer How many cats constitute a “brood”?

via Adium in reply to trutriciahelfer

@trutriciahelfer Wow, cute cat, but what if it’s actually a stray/feral cat? They have those in LA, right? :-?

via Adium in reply to trutriciahelfer

@sarahEmagee Wow… are you like a Fox Mulder type of person… you practically don’t sleep and you investigate the odd! ;-)

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

So, which carrier, or carriers, will step forward to marshal the communicator concept to maturity and massive profitability?

via Adium

Apple has gotten it right, but it still requires the cooperation of carrier networks to fully realize it.

via Adium

Palm took a few tentative steps in the right direction, then lost focus and initiative and ultimately burned bridges a few years ago.

via Adium

RIM almost had it right, but lost the edge— and the nerve— to capitalize on it 10 years ago.

via Adium

Symbion was onto something… just 15 years too early.

via Adium

So, as VZ preps for their iPhone-CDMA rollout, the communicator concept further crystallizes.

via Adium

@sarahEmagee … BUT it isn’t the obvious choices.

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee Well, then again… maybe you would. If you also knew that he’s got a gal partner who hangs out w/ him…?

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee Yep. You’d never guess his real name…

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee Of course! Actually it’s hard for me to capture him on video or stills ‘cause they normally seem to know when to blur!

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

Was just thinking: It’d be hilarious if @stevetweeting bumped into @sarahEmagee , and she realized that he’s actually a talking ferret!

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

Wow, the VZ iPhone is both CDMA and it comes w/ a mobile hotspot?!? Wowzers!

via Adium

@sarahEmagee Ah… I was thinking it was a case of “one person’s discard = another’s treasure”… ;-)

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee btw, if there’s a new Sarah, what happens to the old one? Do you put her out on the curb w/ a “Free for the taking” sign?

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee Heheheheh, you could’ve asked me if I had the London Calling album sitting around, waiting for somebody to ask. :-)

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@kristenmassey Or, if you have the space, perhaps a nice kotatsu with a broad overhang blanket? (Nice to enjoy a curry udon snack!)

via Adium in reply to kristenmassey

@kristenmassey Have you considered 1 of those 360-degree space heaters?

via Adium in reply to kristenmassey

@NickSilly I’m not terribly worried about having lots o’ followers. Peeps use other apps to follow @stevetweeting w/o following…

via Adium in reply to NickSilly

@sarahEmagee Y’know, I thought you were joking about the snowman. :-/

via web in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee But I do think it’s a good option for folks looking for a turnkey option.

via web in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee Hmm… I think I have too much fun w/ tell.im (although I should probably make a better landing page).

via web in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee … ooooh, great… now you’re making me feel bad. And to think, the day had started on such an upbeat blah-dom.

via web in reply to social_sarah

@NickSilly @sarahEmagee I think Sarah gets frustrated with me whenever I toss in geekspeak. Or maybe it’s the weather. :-?

via web in reply to NickSilly

@sarahEmagee Geez, I step away for a couple of hours, and you get into trouble again?!? Did you encounter any grues?

via web in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee … well, let me know if you see one… try to take a photo of it, then run away!

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee Back in the Infocom days, grues were all the rage. And they’re back in CoD: B/Ops, so I had 1 of those flashback moments.

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee What?!? Never heard of grues? ;-) http://tell.im/7c If you got gobbled by a grue, it would be grue-some.

via Adium in reply to social_sarah

@sarahEmagee No, don’t go! There are grues out there!

@CaliLewis You mean LG from LG Electronics? Thought it was Lucky Goldstar…? They have the “Life’s Good” tagline, though.

@pollyplummer If you got your flushots 2+ weeks before you got sick, it could be a cold and/or a bacterial respiratory infection.
