My daughter names vehicles. I name lawn equipment: the weed eater is "Death Of Weeds". Lawn mower: "The Green Reaper".

Daughter @ theater, seeing poster for toy story 3: "daddy, do movies never end?" "not if they're profitable, dear"

Leveled up in Yard Care today. Used gas-powered Death Of Weeds to wreak havoc in the weed bed. Also trimmed deadwood from the Ficii.

@kevinmarks one of Terry pratchett's books addressed that issue...

Dear Miss Manners: how early in the morning can I fire up the two-stroke gas weed eater #deathofweeds

@JimRoepcke I'm taking the 9yo to see that kids movie about dragons tomorrow, and I think I want to see it more than she does #pshkidsmovie

I need Choosy for email clients.

@djacobs Yeah, that was my thinking as well. Craigslist is successful b/c it's easy, and tautologically, b/c it's craigslist.

wonder why no-one has tried to outdo craigslist with better searching, tagging, social features? seems like an opportunity.

I can't tweet after reading some folks' Twitter streams - my cynicism/sarcasm level goes through the roof and it's just not me.
