- 06:48 Grrr. iPhone calendar app, why do you enrage me with your shitty lack of proper support for time zones? You keep fucking my shit up. #
- 07:45 Got first place in Battleteh pods. Hoo-rah!! #origins #
- 09:42 Winding down, getting ready to head home from #Origins. #
- 12:43 On my way to the airport. #Origins is officially over. #
- 13:59 For some reason my Bluetooth connection to my phone keeps dying while reading I Can Haz Cheezeburger RSS feeds, thus killing tethering. WTF? #
- 18:14 In Denver on the way home. Soon now... Soon I will actually have a *restful* sleep. #
- 18:31 Getting myself some McD's that I am sure to regret later. #
- 23:15 Landed in Seattle. It'll be nice to crash out in my own bed. #
- 00:05 Home again, home again. Jiggity-jig. #

- 06:22 Doin' email. Got TerrorWerks in a half-hour. I shoulda done this get-up-early-and-do-a-bit-of-email-befor
e-starting-the-day thing all along. # - 14:39 I need to have more meetings in front of my boss where people compliment me. Seems to work out pretty well... #
- 14:41 Somoene I don't know just called me to tell me they were waiting for me in the tournament finals. For a game I never signed up for. WTF? #
- 15:32 Starting up a Shadowrun game. Pretty jazzed. The Catalyst people were really nice and started up a game for us. #
- 19:56 I am rewarding myself twitpic.com/8n584 #
- 20:29 Belly distended with food, the Guder prepares to run another game of D&D. Or he will, if the elevator ever arrives. #

- 08:04 You try to give sleep and inch and it takes mile... #
- 13:22 Just played Cash n Guns @ #origins. Very fun game. #
- 14:34 Finally got to meet up with Andy Kitkowski and chat about Tenra Bansho Zero - and see it in the flesh. Picked up the Maid RPG too. #
- 16:09 Never underestimate the utility of meeting up with companies to go over their events in person. So much easier to point and find errors. #
- 16:26 Flipped through the Maid RPG. This is the perfect McGuffin game. Makes me nostalgic, sad and lol. #Origins #
- 18:43 They're running super-loud karaoke in the hotel lobby. They couldn't even get Rock Band or Lips? Fail! #
- 22:35 Played Paranoia for the first time. Fun, but strikes me as better served with the "indie games" model #Origins #

- 06:03 Starting a random con game for the first time in a while. #
- 16:27 Good lord, do I love hibachi steakhouse... #
- 18:07 I think I'm gonna have to cancel my game for tomorrow morning. D&D based on Slayers is amusing, but I am tired and have work to do... #
- 18:16 I swear to god, the ice nachine on my floor is masturbating really loudly and aggressively. #
- 19:20 Getting ready to run another D&D con game. #
- 22:12 The ice machine has got some stamina: he's still going. #

- 05:09 At the gate at Minneapols, waiting for the flight to Columbus. Ran into a bunch of other gamers and some Gen Con volunteers. #
- 08:42 Landed in Columbus. Very tired. #
- 08:55 Ah, airports full of big dudes with dragon and wizard t-shirts. We've got con sign! #
- 09:47 Hotel door is kinda busted, but at least I won't need to leave the building and brave the weather except to get food. #
- 10:27 My iPhone just tried to auto-correct "ems" into "emasculation..." I feel like I'm bring threatened by my personal electronics. #
- 13:00 Gawd. East coast/middwest weather is definitely not something I missed. #
- 13:10 Work... Or nap... Tough choices sometimes... #
- 17:41 Dammit. Can't belive I forgot the sweet poster map for my delve. Fuuuuuuuuck. #
- 18:18 Oh hell yeah! Got tethering set up on my iPhone! Actually seems to work pretty well. How will the battery hold up to bluetooth tethering? #
- 18:28 Updated @adium and Yahoo connects now, but Facebook isn't working anymore? #
- 18:33 Huh. Looks like the fault was with Facebook, actually. Something about signing in from an unfamiliar location. Never seen that before. #
- 22:20 So much of #Origins is the Big Bar on 2. You cant walk through it without being accosted by a dozen friends you only see at a con. #
- 04:51 Man, going to a con always reminds me of all the things I really love about my job. #

- 09:42 Driving in Seattle is bearing witness to the foolishness and follies of mankind. #
- 09:55 I didn't think they were actually gonna make the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender movie. Skeptical. tinyurl.com/le8m8h #
- 10:31 I'd much rather deal with screaming and head-butting than passive-aggressive sniping. Gimme a fight over defensive, coy swiping any day. #
- 12:07 A pretty concrete example of DRM/copyright laws stifling innovation, plus a neat factoid about NetFlix is.gd/1aJnJ #
- 13:18 Transformers history makes me kinda sad that video games have largely killed "kewl toyz" is.gd/1aQtQ #
- 14:16 Only a few more hours of work before I leave for Oriigns. It'll be nice to be at a convention again. It's always too long between shows. #
- 14:40 Good thing I left that 2-hour gap in my schedule on Saturday night in my anime rooms. Should have a big announcement soon. #
- 15:41 Alright. eGame program guide content done too. Glad to finally be wrapping up some of this stuff that's been hanging over me for a while. #
- 16:28 Huzzah! I got permission to show the new Eva movie at Gen Con! snipr.com/kqwoa #
- 17:09 Alright, done. Time to go and get ready for Origins. Make sure to say hi if you see me there! #
- 17:29 Got gas just in time... #
- 19:49 How did I not notice that I have a 3-hour layover in Minneapolis at like 6 am? Man, traveling is gonna suck. #
- 20:02 Convenient how my printer decides to stop working when I need to print my boarding pass. #
- 20:17 Looks like the un-announced AirPort firmware updating fixed my printer problem... Hooray! #
- 20:24 Guess I'm not the only one having trouble connecting to Yahoo through @adium. Hope a full fix gets pushed soon (also twitter support!) #
- 23:58 At the gate, but my flight was delayed a bit. Need to keep myself awake for another hour before I can crash on the flight. #
- 00:24 Northwest is just boarding everyone all a once, willy nilly. Insane. #

- 09:54 The pain in my wrist has faded away as mysteriously as it arrived. For two days it almost felt like I'd broken it, but now it's mostly fine. #
- 16:40 Wow. Googling "Star Trek Khan" turns up a remarkable amount of pr0nz. #
- 17:14 Man, program book content is never what I want it to be, but it always comes together pretty simply when I get around to finally DOING it. #
- 22:39 Today was apparently free minis day. Bought Eberron book. Got free minis. Drove @christulach to the airport. Got a LOT of free minis. #

- 12:12 The interface for this Magic game is beginning to piss me off. It keeps fucking over my regeneration and Giant Growth. #
- 13:26 Oddly enough... I think I enjoyed the challenges in Magic on XBLA more than the normal games themselves... #
- 23:40 So Safari 4 is pretty nice. Very smooth and slick. I miss Firefox's ability to add other search engines, though. Not sure if I can switch. #

- 09:59 Man, it's like... every day, PETA gives the world another reason to write it off as a home for the annoyingly insane. #
- 11:13 It's always anticlimactic after a big deadline. The event charts are off and now I'm all unmotivated again. #
- 11:51 Why isn't the real news like this? I'd watch it "Auto-Tune the News" snipr.com/kgju8 #
- 12:01 I just realized that I'll be running/playing D&D all goddamn weekend... and then next week is Origins. Man, I need a vacation from fun. #
- 14:41 I entertained my coworkers today with the one (horribly accented) phrase I can speak in Cantonese. Who can guess what it is? #
- 14:52 Almost fell asleep at my desk... #
- 15:16 Looks like PAX is looking for volunteers. I might apply myself - anyone else interested? is.gd/16GfM #
- 15:23 The pain in my wrist is beginning to give me a headache #
- 17:05 Alright, time to split. I'm gonna try to squeeze in emails (and announcing the anime & video game schedules on the forums) this weekend. #

- 10:41 Everything's down. Guess it's time fir a forced break, huh? Relaxtion is mandatory! #
- 11:35 Man, my wrist really kinda hurts. I would really like it to stop doing that. #
- 11:51 Looks like I've taken care of all event change emails. Checked group names, GM names, game system, rules edition, locations. One more check. #
- 12:35 Alright. Charts are off. I wash my hands of this. #
- 13:45 Looks like Dungeons & Dragons Insider is broken. Poo. #
- 14:42 Magic the Gathering on XBLA makes me want Vampire: The Eternal Struggle and Netrunner on XBLA as well... #
- 20:53 Why is the Rock Band music store giving me connection errors AFTER I buy stuff? I though Xbox LIVE was working fine now... #
- 21:18 Fuck, the multiplayer interface in the XBLA Magic game is shit. No party system - just the old "private slots" shit. I thought we'd learned. #
- 23:32 Fuuuuuck. Where does my money GO? #
- 00:18 iPhone is updated. Let's see if it manages to completely change my life. Bring my salvation, JesusPhone! #

- 10:03 I think @digsby has a bug - it keeps telling me I have a new Facebook wall post, but I can't find it and it disappears from my timeline... #
- 11:10 Sims used to simulate some insane lives - awesome, scary and blurring the line on "a game" aliceandkev.wordpress.com/ #
- 14:51 *phew* Anime & film schedule is in. Still plenty to update/add later, but at least most of it's in there. #
- 16:12 Not pleased. Too many last-minutes changes I'm trying to get in. #
- 16:28 Got a few more hours for this. Awesome. #
- 18:03 I've manually entered almost 150 events in the past 24 hours... #
- 18:29 I swear to fucking God, Excel, some day you will explain to me why you do something fine one moment and then completely fuck it up the next. #
- 18:34 eGame schedule is in. Now time to go back to error-checking, though I may take a break for eats first. #
- 18:40 Looks like we have about 1000 more Active events than we did last year, including all late and last-minute stuff from 2008. #
- 19:00 Food break. Back to slave labor later. #
- 21:38 Picked up Nightwatch and Daywatch for cheap because they had sweet 3D hologram covers.. #
- 23:06 You know... I'm not sure that I can really concentrate at all right now. I think I'm gonna have to crash and wrap this up in the morning. #

- 10:20 I don't want to work. I want to go home and sleep. I'm so damn tired. #
- 12:49 I would like to remind everyone that unicorns DO exist: in our hearts! #
- 12:50 Also, I bring wonder back to the world: another child excitedly pointed at my hair, telling his parents "Wow! How does he DO that!" #
- 15:00 I introduced an innocent coworker to the meme timeline and KnowYourMeme tinyurl.com/3hlzux tinyurl.com/bev4ss #
- 18:37 Beautiful unicorns live within all of us snipr.com/k9o1m & When bros need to wipe down tinyurl.com/ltx9mp #
- 18:47 Alright. Schedule is sketched out. I think I'm gonna go home, relax a bit and then get back to more work. #
- 22:17 Unable to resist my anime charms, @gregbilsland is watching Le Chevalier D'Eon. I forgot how rough and rushed the first episode is. #
- 00:26 Just manually entered about 100 events. I'm gonna slap the next person who says it's just waaaaay toooo haaaaard. Also I'm tired. #

- 16:08 Getting some work done. I've redone the TCG layout, finally. Found a trick that MIGHT make this a bit easier for me, too. #
- 18:37 How does a store that sells ONLY crappy bootleg merch for MORE than legit stuff stay in business? #
- 22:24 Alright. Took a nice, long break. Now back to work before I collapse from exhaustion. #
- 23:10 That's right, iTunes, crash on me. That's what I want, really. #
- 01:03 Alright. Pretty much all late events have been placed. Uploading locations now, then bed. The next few days will be error-checking & anime. #

- 13:19 Ha ha ha! Two off-hand musings on religion and already a reply from a pro-religion Twitter account? I love the internet. #
- 15:30 Wonderful to have a super-important deadline that WAS supposed to be 2-3 weeks away suddenly become 4 days. Fuck. #
- 16:35 Outlook is such a piece of shit that it boggles my mind sometimes. #
- 17:36 Late RPGs reviewed. Warning about on-site event charts closing Monday sent out to GMs. I'll have to review TCGs and place everything later. #
