Twitter Updates (December 2009)

Added: January 17th, 2010 (tagged with: twitter)

I finally hopped on the bandwagon and joined Twitter last month. You can follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/sepcot or you can watch here for weekly or bi-monthly updates going forward (when I get around to scripting it).

Anyway, here are my tweets from December 2009:

  1. Picking up Steph at O'Hare, then off to the Skydive Chicago formal Christmas party.
  2. I've got a matrix keypad attached to an Arduino. Now time to get the Arduino to communicate keypresses via XBee to another board.
  3. Just picked up a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Now, only a take-home final stands in the way of me dusting off my NDS.
  4. heh, I have the TMNT OST on my iPhone and it always puts a smile on my face when 'Turtle Power' or 'This Is What We Do' turn up on shuffle.
  5. After an 8 hour marathon to finish my 5 question take-home final, my brain can now rest. Take that Wireless Networking - I'm done with you!
  6. Currently 2F w/22mph winds (-20F). They don't make appropriate indoor/outdoor clothes for this. Freezing commute, but boiling at work.
  7. Just booked an hour of tunnel time for me and Steph at SkyVenture Arizona on New Year's Eve. :-)
  8. @kevbo iTunes has a free Holiday Sampler for your Christmas collection: http://bit.ly/5zzAfQ
  9. Sitting at California Pizza Kitchen, taking a break from Xmas shopping. Woodfield mall is exhausting.
  10. Christmas Light Hero, made by a former Disney Imagineer, simply amazing. http://bit.ly/4WEhVO
  11. Had lunch at The Counter. Custom burgers were pretty good, but the fries were more impressive (50/50 regular and parmesan)
  12. Played some Spirit Tracks on the bus today. The game makes us of the DS mic a lot, so the ambient noise makes playing a bit more difficult.
  13. Even with the fall semester complete, there is still not enough time in the day to do the things I want...
  14. Nice! Now I feel confident jumping with my camera ;-) http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/845602
  15. Nintendo, the DS is a portable system. I can't always shout into the mic. Why does Zelda rely on that functionality to continue the story?
  16. mmm... Tapas Las Ramblas for dinner tonight.
  17. I love Celebrity Jeopardy, I can actually answer quite a few questions... or is that question quite a few answers?
  18. Off to Kentucky to spend a Christmas weekend with relatives.
  19. Baby back ribs at Logan's Roadhouse were disapointing - dry and flavorless.
  20. Wow, data over EDGE sucks... I have a new appreciation for 3G now.
  21. #Books added to my collection this weekend: Dilbert 2.0, Heat Wave, and Xenocide. Also got It's Always Sunny season 4 on DVD.
  22. Back from Kentucky. A few days of work, then off to Minnesota for Christmas.
  23. We got a new board game for Christmas: @SortItOutGame. It was a lot of fun, but programmer in me kept thinking about an iPhone port :-)
  24. Perfect snowball weather outside. @leonc Can we cancel work for a company snowball fight?
  25. Made it as far as Tomah last night with only one spinout! 6 hours to complete the first 2/3rds of the trip... time to get on the road again.
  26. Made it to Minnesota in one piece. Not that the weather didn't try to take us out on the way... stupid winter.
  27. Merry Xmas! Remember to secure the perimeter and stay indoors, Robot Santa's coming to town. #futurama
  28. Got home safe from Minnesota, a days rest, then it's off to Arizona for the New Year.
  29. CO detector has 3 indicators: battery, service, alarm. 3 chirps while flashing alarm, what does this mean? Time to buy a new alarm. #fail
  30. Nice night out on the town: Sherlock Holmes and dinner in the city.
  31. Gah! I need to get to bed, got a 5am cab ride to O'Hare in the morning. 60s and sunny weather await in Arizona :-)
  32. Woo-hoo! Made it through airport security with my parachute without a problem. Skydiving on Thursday :-)
  33. En route to Skydive Arizona. First some tunnel time, then some skydiving.
  34. The wind tunnel at Skyventure Arizona is amazing. I could easily spend all of my time (and money) there. Jon Walker was a great coach.
