Off to Turkey!
At Heathrow, hoping to make it to a hotel near Gatwick then an Apple store for an iPod Shuffle. My iPhone didn’t get the mp3 tours I wanted.
Boarding flight to London. Adiós America!
✈ Thus begins vacation. See you all in a few weeks.
Ramsey #THFH talked about failure but here’s a another perspective: @37signals Failure is Overrated http://bit.ly/p4oXQ http://bit.ly/14GUKA
One last day of work before 3 weeks of vacation. I think I can make it. I’ll need a stop at Starbucks for some energy and breakfast, though.
I would like to see Peter Schiff and Dave Ramsey have a frank discussion. #THFH
The Town Hall crowd’s response to buying gold is naive. Dave Ramsey’s opinion of what serious people think of gold is incorrect. #THFH
Getting ready to watch Town Hall for Hope on Fox Business.
What can you learn from FML? 1) Don’t act like an arrogant idiot, 2) Don’t get high, 3) Don’t get plastered. http://www.fmylife.com/flop
Vegan Before 6. I think I could do that. http://tinyurl.com/cyht7y
The Economist isn’t expensive for the sake of being expensive. It’s darn good reporting that is worth every dollar. @kottke
Why do I always feel like listening to Modest Mouse at work?
I have a hard time not rolling my eyes when someone asks me “Did you get that email I sent you?” Especially when they call me to check.
Glad to see Houston have some good light rail plans. Looks like it could really help congestion. http://bit.ly/rKnSD (via @kaleobill)
Looking forward to @TownHallForHope from Dave Ramsey on Thursday. Will be great to hear the opposite of gloom. http://townhallforhope.com
What are tree nuts? And why is everything processed near them? Should I be scared?
I would really enjoy a bike rally to raise money for something local—like the North Texas Food Bank @ntfb. Anything like that out there?
Tweetie for Mac is out! And it’s beautiful!
Although I was unable to ride Houston-Austin MS150 last weekend, I raised a total of $568 for people like this: http://bit.ly/4gru3
My family is at 11.5 mi mark on MS150 day 2 route. Wish I could be there with them. Weather looks great!
Welp, time to turn off “New Follower Emails”. Feel like I’m getting spammed after every post now days.
I can happily report that @jstayton is a married man. On their way to honeymoon now!!
Made it to @jstayton Big Day despite rain and all kinds of whatnot. http://twitpic.com/3j2pz
Here’s a clip from La Grange, where the MS150 ride was supposed to camp tomorrow http://tinyurl.com/d8enlu
Just got back home after driving all over Texas. MS 150 canceled Day 1 for flooding; logistics too complicated for me to do Day 2. I’m out.
This is going to be one wet and cold MS 150. http://twitpic.com/3ggrx
Enjoyed great thoughts about the weird American beer world via @beerwars. Excellent investigative documentary. Loved seeing @dogfishbeer HQ
So far they have the wrong audio at @beerwars. Hope it is fixed soon.
At a non-alcoholic theater for @beerwars live event.
Wish I could be at SCAA this week. Would have been lots of fun. Next year?
Another fun part of travel planning: figuring out all the foreign currencies needed.
That guy was sure pissed off about pulling out in front of me.

Have cable news stations always been this unprofessional and absurd? It’s rather shocking compared to public radio.
The President is repeating his five pillars.
