- Apologies to Premium folks: I accidentally swapped the note text for this week's Sketch with next week's. Should be fixed. Refresh to see it #

- Back online. Fun trip but exhausted. Lots of great pics & some video, some of which I may have to post in the blog. We'll see… #
- Scripting the end of the current story. Resolved most of the major plot threads but still have to tackle the hardest, the one I dread. Hm… #
- Security alert: New 0-day Windows flaw uses shortcuts to execute arbitrary code, no useful fix available yet: http://bit.ly/aZklJT #

- Is it wrong of me to think it ironic when the soap dispenser in the Lowe's restroom is poorly secured to the wall? #
- Rumor has it Froyo comes to the Moto Droid tomorrow. I'll buy my tipster a drink if he's right. (I hear Bigfoot likes root beer.) #
- Well, no Froyo for me yet. Bigfoot, you let me down. Next thing, you'll be talking about a Verizon iPhone… oh, wait…. #
- May be incommunicato the next few days; unknown Internet access & unlikely cell service. Surprisingly, I'm OK with that. #

- Deck reinforced, 7 windows & 1 door hung, & walls starting to go up. Not quite a Florida room yet; more like an Alabama or Louisiana room. #
- My inner hillbilly is showing through; just used the phrase "[nervous] like a long tailed cat in a rocking chair factory" in a comic script. #
- Keep forgetting to post: Finished "The Mote in God's Eye" by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle via Audible.com #
- Rereading 7-year-old story arcs to keep the next GPF story internally consistent. Sometimes this massive archive is its own worst enemy… #
- Trying to maintain an air of quiet professionalism is frustrating when petty, snarky replies are more instantly gratifying… :/ #

- Tearing apart our old deck to rebuild & re-enforce it. I have learned years of programming is not suitable preparation for manual labor. #
- Apparently, my first attempt at using a circular saw has been [counts fingers] successful. #
- Scripted 3 more weeks of the next story arc. Man, is this one getting exciting. Gripping drama, lots of emotion, and some snarky humor too. #
- Verizon iPhone in January, claims Bloomberg. Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, Hitler & Marlin Monroe's love child confirm rumor. Must be true!!! #
- Whoever came up with the idea of a shredder that talks obviously didn't know how ANNOYING it would be… #
- But the joke possibilities… "The wastebasket is full. I feel bloated." "Please remove your fingers. I don't like the taste of blood." #
