- Listening to other music to get a certain tune out of your head doesn't work when Shuffle keeps picking the song you're trying to get out. #
- Hey Pixar fans: 100 Pixar characters and their relative sizes: http://bit.ly/97mF6U #
- Nuts. A coworker pointed out there's another typo in today's comic. I'll fix it when I fix it, I guess. [Rolls eyes] #
- Using the blog (jeffdarlington.com) to beta test a potentially cool new service. Let me know if you encounter problems reaching that site. #
- If you were alive in 1980 and you haven't seen Google's home page today, you REALLY need to see Google's home page today. #
- GOOSE FIGHT!!! (No, really. They're geese, and they're fighting. Why are you looking at me like that?) #

- Boy & I made blueberry muffins in bed for my wife for Mom Day. No, didn't spill batter all over the sheets, but getting the oven in there… #
- RT: @merlyn: Yeay, old Radio Shack catalogs, for us geezers… http://bit.ly/cvwNdt [Curse you, @merlyn! I was being productive before this] #
- Thought provoking: C in Danger – and thus Higher-Level Languages (?): http://bit.ly/9dk7ta #
- At last! Android phone sales blow by Apple iPhone in U.S.: http://bit.ly/biZe6S #
- Experimenting with Firefox for Android (i.e. Fennic). Impressive for a pre-alpha, but definitely not ready for prime time. #
- Mildly disappointed no one called me out that Fooker's line in yesterday's strip should be credited to Groucho Marx rather than Bugs Bunny. #
- Then again, Fooker would be more likely to recognize the line from Bugs than from Groucho. Nick or Dexter would have gotten it right. #

- Site update script ran, scratch files were updated, but memory cache wasn't cleared so the front page still showed Friday's comic. Fixed! #
- Finally sat down & made the GPF Story Index database driven. About time. I've been manually updating that page for 12 blasted years. #
- Do YOU have a 1980s IBM System/370 mainframe assembly language reference sitting on YOUR desk? I didn't think so & you can't borrow mine. #

- I hate lens flares. Therefore, I vow only to use them in the comic when they're funny. The one I just added makes that strip hilarious. #
- Priceless! (I want one, but where to keep him…?) -> RT @merlyn Programming Perl 6 cover art http://bit.ly/aLsup3 #
- Sometimes I wish Google could index & search my brain. But then I'd worry about what might show up in Google Cache… (O_o) #
- The story I'm currently working on is very art intensive and therefore very time consuming. But I think the gags are definitely worth it. #
- Actively using a Moto Droid in one hand & an iPod Touch in the other, matching finger swipe per swipe. Addiction to technology? Me? Never! #
- Had a dream with 1 of those awesome Doctor Who-like "ordinary things do something subtle but extremely scary" moments. But where to use it?! #
- Used my telescope for the first time tonight. Quickly found out it's not very eyeglasses friendly. But did see a fuzzy dot I think was Mars. #
