Pretty much all I did this weekend was study Cylon behavior. #
7/50. Complete with a papercut upon opening. #
Never printed more than 1,000 magazine pages in a day before. Today, 16,000. #
That's 4x more than 4x more than I've ever done before. Suitable since @4foraquarter was our guest editor. #
Strike that. Topped out at 8,048 today before the toner gave up the ghost. #

Completed my workplace safety training. Only 8 months after they started bugging me to. #
I leave the office today having visited the mythical land I last saw in October: INBOX ZERO! #
Also: GTD is how Stella got her groove back. Taye Diggs was simply one of the list items. #

In a normal year, tomorrow would be a holiday. Sigh. #uncbasketball #

I saw Dana Gould do a bit on this in his standup special, only it wasn't a grandmother, it was a monster bum. http://bit.ly/chT5fT #

Wife came home from jury duty to eat lunch with me. Now she's stolen my computer so I can't get back to work. #

I am suspicious. But too nice. Not a good combination. #
Furslide, you make it all better. #

It took me this long to figure out how to record a custom greeting in Google Voice? I am slipping! #

Am subterranean for a while… attending sessions underground in windowless rooms. Which I actually like. Was a rock troll in previous life. #

Just ordered books by Chris Tonelli and Elissa Gabbert. Pre-sale offer too good to pass up. http://www.birdsllc.com/ #
Justin Bigos pointed me to some of Joe Bolton's poems online. If you don't know Bolton's work, you should. http://bit.ly/cSChwc #
Sadly, I have no idea if today's Canes moves are good ideas. #
Looks like I am confirmed to appear in Saturday night's 8:30 pm show at Raleigh's ComedyWorx (on Peace St near Glenwood South). #

RT @smalljones: Thinking about a major/minor at #UNC? Check out the BS in Info Sci table in the Pit today! App. Deadline @uncsils is 3/19. #
As of today, I no longer have a credit card. A giant eff you to Chase, who lost my business over $5.73. #
I'd like to think that they paid more than $5.73 for the hassle that I gave them on the phone, but it was hassle they outsourced. #

Just heard Michael Buble for the first time. He reminds me of the lead singer of Jump Little Children. Liked JLC's music better. #
Bread Loaf applications due in… dude, they're due NOW. #

What is this… shinola? #
It still skeeves me out when seven-year-olds refer to their Covey habits. #
March poem-a-day Grind accepting applicants until 8 PM EST Sunday. Do you have what it takes to finish a poem every day? #

I don't trust your literary press's web site if the front page has tons of information on your contest but no visible link to your catalog. #

To my writerly friends: March 1 is the deadline to apply to Bread Loaf for financial aid. Are you applying? (HMMM, @emmabo?) #
Feeling super-powerful because I finally bought my first 1 TB drive. I expect I will own a petabyte within five years. #
Sent one book to the printer today and started another. I designed book #4 myself, since it's short-run, but I do miss working with Philip. #

That thing that Google is trying to pass off as a scroll bar in Wave? I hate that thing. It's awful. Just give us a real scroll bar. #

So ready to see @dantelfer's poem for Amy Poehler. #
Oh, my god, @dantelfer. I feel like I have seen bravery, and it is you posting your poem. #

On stage at Memorial Hall for CHAT Festival panel with smart people. How'd I get here. #
We had hoped to fill 1% of the seats here… one minute to panel, and we're not yet there. #
Funny how much of our #uncCHAT panel was dedicated to Twitter. The 140-character conundrum. Will tweets ever be great art? Which tweets? #
