Just found GC1Z5F4 — Fall City Waterfront. Missed FTF by 59 minutes… Darn!
Eoin Colfer wrote the latest book in the Hitchiker’s Guide series… Having a hard time imagining this, but I’ll have to read it.
The presenter I’m listening to just said, “incentivize”. Hoping that this is going to get better.

Building a PowerPoint “Frankendeck”. 50 slides from 5 presenters. Don’t know if I feel more sorry for the presenters or the audience.

Hopefully coincidence, but my Zune 120 crapped out today after updating last night. Guess I’ll try a reformat tonight.

Thought I bricked my #Zune 120 trying to upgrade to the new software. Looks like it’s just really slow (like 2 hours slow).

Just stumbled upon Windows7 shortcuts: Make window as tall as screen: StartButton-Shift-UpArrow.
OK, going out #geocaching to try and find GCN2GR fir the 2nd time. Supposed to be easy, so I must be looking in wrong place.
Using Cache Register to upload field notes from Delorme PN-40. Makes #Geocaching painless. Too bad it’s $10 extra. http://bit.ly/3FvvXd
Found 5 caches this weekend, including 1 at top of Mt Si. 11-year-old son really into it now. #geocaching
Illegitimi non carborundum. Spread the word.

Big weekend: Jake’s 11th b/day sleepover, seeing “9”, soccer games, then intro new family to #geocaching on Sunday. Let the games begin.

I often see people raving about last.fm, so today I decided to try it out. Wow, last.fm is one of those services that makes it hard to like them.
I am a long-time Pandora user. Pandora’s web…
Tried to make last.fm work for me — really I did — but after an hour of music I didn’t like I’m back at Pandora. #musicshouldbeeasy

My Kindle just crapped out… screen went blank, couldn’t reset it. Left it alone for 2 hours. Was able to hard reset it. #kindleworry

At the Sounders FC vs Toronto FC game. Anyone else in section 204?
Just realized that my wifi and Sonos setting conflicted, killing my whole-home audio. Now updating 7 zones and 2 controllers. Bad Linksys!
Happy that I found a better way to the Sounders game last night but wish that they had played better.
Just tried to add myself to an email group and got “Catastrophic failure, please contact helpdesk”. Kind of describes my week.
