- Status update: Still snowed in 50 mi from home. Wife made it to hotel safely, son's safe with his aunt. No clue when the roads will be clear #
- Trying to put my captivity to use by working on comics. Man, it's been too long since I used my old Intuos. My Tablet PC has spoiled me. #
- Snow pics for anyone interested (& not sick of hearing about the snow already): http://tinyurl.com/yf2jsmr #
- Took forever because I had the wrong tools & it won't win any art awards, but GPF 3000 is in the queue. It runs February 5, 2010. *Collapse* #
- Couldn't tweet last night but finally made it to the same city as my family ~8pm EST. Oh, & a hot shower too! Next goal: *real* food. #
- Our first time sleeping in our own bed in five days! Finally home. Wish our cars were too… #
- Things often overheard in our household: "No ranch [dressing] fingers on the Wii remote!" #
- Thanksgiving: Entire family fights the flu. Christmas: Worst blizzard in years. Anticipating fire & brimstone for New Year's. #
- Keenspot is at the heart of yet another webcomics "drama". For the first time in 9 years, I'm pround to say… it's not my problem. #
- (That's not to say I can't sympathize with the situation. If any Keenspotter needs advice on going solo, feel free to ping me.) #
- My big Christmas gift this year: Trip to NYC to see Tim Burton exhibit at MoMA. My wife rocks. #

- The first Blu-ray movie ever to play in the new home theater? Why Disney/Pixar "Cars", of course. Yes, the boy rules the roost. #
- (OK, I'll admit it. "Cars" is one of our favorite movies too. I'm the one who tried to get the wife to get it a month ago.) #
- Note to self: When learning to program a new platform (say, Android), start with a SMALLER project. (But I thought it WAS small!) #
- Countdown to GPF 3000: Finished 2998, February 1, 2010. Two more to go… #
- Countdown to GPF 3000: Finished 2999, February 3, 2010. One more to go… #
- Script for GPF 3000 is like pulling teeth. Very healthy, deeply rooted, set in concrete teeth. Got punchline, need the rest. No pressure… #
- Finally worked out the script for GPF 3000. It will be an italics-palooza of thinly veiled sarcasm, insinuation, and Fooker-ishness. #
- RT @krisstraub RT for the day crowd @MattWilsonCSS: how Keenspot fired @kellhound for Christmas http://tinyurl.com/ykkjw3j #
- What fun: Freak snow storm has me snowed in 50 mi from home, likely stuck at work for the night. Just hope the wife & son can make it home. #
- Son is finally safe with his aunt. Wife is still stuck on the interstate, but at least she's not alone (others are stuck around her). #

- First tweet from new Verizon/Motorola Droid. Got a few quirks, but I *delinitely* like. #
- Android fans: I want silent mode to mute sounds but still vibrate. No settings I've found do this; "mutes" vibrate too. What am I missing? #
- Countdown to GPF 3000: Just finished 2995, January 25, 2010. Five more to go… #
- Finger grease from the Droid "slide to unlock" swipe keeps leaving a smudgy frowny face on the screen. How… sad… #
- Starting "Lords & Ladies" (Discworld # 14) by Terry Pratchett via Audible on the road home… #
- Spooky: How do you to circumvent whole disk encryption? Move the machine without unplugging & shutting down: http://tinyurl.com/2kugg7 #
- Countdown to GPF 3000: Just finished 2996, January 27, 2010. Four more to go. Next one's a Friday, so just one week left. #
- Countdown to GPF 3000: Finished 2997, January 29, 2010. One week to hit 3k. #

- GPF countdown to 3000: Finished 2993, (January 20, 2010). Technically behind this week, but not as far behind as I expected (week vacation). #
- Nuts. Spent bunch of time months ago setting up auto Christmas theme switch at GPF for December, only never uploaded it so it didn't happen. #
- Countdown to GPF 3000: Just finished 2994, January 22, 2010. The best GPF joke I've laughed at in a long time, something I don't normally do #
- Dear Verizon: Your website stinks. It shouldn't take 4 tries to place an order in your store. PS: Confirm order != restart from beginning. #
