  • This pic is for Shannon. http://twitpic.com/28o4nl #
  • What makes people in NYC hotels feel that letting their room door slam at all hours is acceptable? Every time I'm here. Same story. #
  • I just had a student in my Red Hat class ask if there was a Windows machine she could use instead. The point of this class, you've missed it #
  • Thinking of picking up an ebook reader. What's folks opinions on the B&N nook? I don't need fancy as I'm hard on things while travelling. #
  • Gave up on Cyanogen. This shit is a nightmare. There's no one "this is how it's done" guide. Chasing dead links to useless pages is stupid. #
  • I'm pretty sure my manager wants me to quit. There's no other explanation for my schedule. In the next 4 weeks I'll have 24 hours at home. #
  • Resumé on job sites just flipped to active. I signed up for a max 75% travel. Not 100%. I really did/do like the job though. #
  • In the mood for BBQ I went to Hill Country BBQ here in NYC. $22/lb for brisket? They are insane. Smelled like TX but damn! #
  • You know the Pad Thai is spicy when you get hiccups 1/2 way through the plate. #
  • Looks like we're gonna get a bit wet. http://twitpic.com/29ovck #
  • At my current travel rate I'm gonna make Exec Plat on AA. Sitting at 50k miles for the year. About to tack on another 25k this coming week. #
  • I'm in a much much better mood this afternoon than yesterday thanks to a long chat. #
  • I never check my post class survey a scores. Today I did. Why is there always one person that rates low? Must be the East German judge. #
  • A cool door in SoHo. http://twitpic.com/29u91f #
  • How does one lose a shoe insole? It's nowhere in my hotel room. What the hell was I doing in my sleep last night? #
  • I like walking past the fresh flowers and plants outside my NYC hotel in the morning. http://twitpic.com/29zwlg #
  • Damn, Wall Street Tourists. Stop gawking and start walking. #
  • Cool shot of the Brooklyn Bridge on the way to JFK. http://twitpic.com/2a229m #
  • And so it begins. Breakfast at Rudy's with the family before I start my long journey to Rio de Janeiro. AUS>JFK>MIA>GIG. Ouch. #
  • Leg one done. Now to hop down the coast to Miami. #
  • Where's Tony now? Miami. I think the day I walk into the 'quiet room's at the Admirals Club and someone isn't on the phone will never happen #
  • Even better. Six Brazilian ladies just walked in. Brazilians have one volume setting: loud. So much for a quiet room. #
  • I made it to the hotel safe and sound at 8am this morning. I'll post pics in a bit. #
  • Only have BBC World on the TV and 30Kbps internet service for $16/day. Glad I brought the nook. Looks like I'll be doing a lot of reading. #

  • 30mins after landing we're still sitting on tarmac. There's no gate for us. WTF? It's not like we showed up without you knowing we're coming #
  • Ok #americanairlines why are we sitting on the tarmac for 45 mins waiting for a gate assignment? #
  • Sweet! Just watched them set off some huge explosions for Transformers 3 on Wacker Dr. in Chicago. I'll post video soon. #
  • Got a good phone call from my manager today. He also said I've been doing a good job. So I bought myself a little toy. A Nexus One. #
  • Well, looks like the Rio trip is back on. I'll be headed down for two weeks at the beginning of August. #
  • Moving props out of the lot next door for Transformers 3. Big pieces of styrofoam. http://twitpic.com/2731z3 #
  • Destruction on Wacker Drive for Transformers 3 filming. http://twitpic.com/274voy #
  • Dat's a shiny bean. http://twitpic.com/2751p8 #
  • The ' Peacock Door's at the Palmer House Hilton. http://twitpic.com/275682 #
  • Unloading Transformers see pieces into the lot next door. http://twitpic.com/27awk2 #
  • I've got my eye on you. http://twitpic.com/27etaf #
  • Dinner at Lou Malnati's Pizza. A Chicago institution. Nice thing about dining solo is no 45 min wait for a table like everyone else. #
  • I used to love shooting Kodachrome. Some of my best pics were on it. 🙁 http://bit.ly/c9RDMp #
  • Not even 1/2 way through what's going to be another 5 weeks on the road and I'm already tired of it. I didn't sign up for nearly 100% travel #
  • Making hotel reservations for Brazil and it's odd seeing place names like Copacabana and Ipanema as nearby attractions. #
  • The lobby of the Palmer Hilton. http://twitpic.com/27q08f #
  • Just purchased the most expensive airline ticket in my life. $2600 to get to Rio. #
  • The lot next door has been busy today getting things ready for more Transformers 3 filming this weekend. http://twitpic.com/27xpj0 #
  • Give me all the dirty looks you want, douche bag. This is the no cellphone room and I called you on it. People thanked me after you left. #
  • Ok, American Airlines, you're really starting to make me not like you. Seriously, no A/C on the plane and 95 degrees outside. Flight 2293 #
  • We pushed back 10mins late which gave enough time for thunderstorms to close the airport. Awesome. #
  • So now we're stuck on the runway in a plane that has no A/C. #
  • When you only get 36 hours for your weekend a one hour delay is an eternity. My job satisfaction keeps going down down down. #
  • Yep. http://twitpic.com/280de1 #
  • The view from our dinner table tonite. Guess where we are. http://twitpic.com/28c3f1 #
  • Oh, there's a shocker. My flight on American Airlines to JFK is delayed. #

  • Got my new toy. A Droid Incredible. Now to learn my way.around the OS. #
  • 95 degrees out today. My first week at home in months. I get a summer cold. WTF? #
  • Back at pain doc's office. Again. More happy pills for Tony. #
  • Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds #
  • Still sick. This is really screwing up my week at home. So much to do and no energy.*sigh* #
  • It's a bit odd to look at my upcoming plane reservations and only see one flight. I'm sure that'll change soon. #
  • Sitting here listening to Shannon read Edgar Allen Low. Never more! #

  • I'd love to get to my hotel in SF but there's a #gaypride parade in my way. I guess we'll sit back and watch the tits go past til it's over. #
  • Just finished my 1st run of week 2 with #getrunning – 29 minutes of exercise and 9 minutes of running. Next run: Tuesday 29th. #
  • Dinner at one of my favoritest restaurants in the world, North Beach Pizza. #
  • Easiest way to Fishermans Wharf from our hotel is the Cable Car. http://yfrog.com/5al02rj #
  • I'm a big fan of #Volvo but now that I see they're using that shitty series #Twilight to sell them they've lost almost all of my respect. #
  • Watching a little tv before bed. I keep getting annoyed by something in my peripheral vision. It's the lighthouse on Alcatraz. Rough problem #
  • Supreme Court overturns the unconstitutional Chicago gun ban. Awesome. http://bit.ly/92xTDZ #
  • Why do older guys with shitty vision always choose to sit at the back of the class then whine all week because they can't read the screen? #
  • I think I just hit the wall. In the last hour I've started rethinking my career. I've not been home more than 40 hours in a row in 4 months. #
  • Wife for the win. I haven't killed a student today because of her bringing me back to earth last night. I guess I won't start mowing lawns. #
  • The new #Evoque is ugly and shows #landrover is getting further from what makes Rovers unique. BRING THE DEFENDER BACK TO THE USA. #
  • No, shithead, I won't log into your work server and help you fix your problems. Call up our consultants and pay for it. You're not my buddy. #
  • I'm pretty sure that was the worst week I've ever had in front of a class. That lawn mowing job still sounds like a good idea. #
  • Now that I've seen the #Evoque next to other real Range Rovers, why didn't they name it the Freelander3? That's what it really is. #
  • It's amazing, as time winds down during an exam, how much faster the examinees find out they can type. #
  • Getting tired of #AT amp;T sucking. Wanted to switch to #verizon Good luck on getting an Incredible there. Shipping in a month. Verizon lost me #
  • Save me. I've installed Windows 7 tonite. I needed somewhere to sync my iPhone. I shall say 'Hail Linus, hail #Linux #039; 10 times in penitence. #
  • Just finished my 1st run of week 3 with #getrunning – 25 minutes of exercise and 9 minutes of running. Next run: Tuesday 6th. #

  • Waiting on a delayed flight in the DFW Admiral's Club and playing with my Father's Day gift. A snazzy Canon G11. One kickass point-and-shoot #
  • I usually avoid McD's but went tonite. Large lady infront of me ordered 15 double cheesburgers and, you guessed it, a single Diet Coke. #
  • Checking out a cool little used bookstore in K.C., Porspero's. The basement is damn neat. http://yfrog.com/5ehh0j #
  • Just finished my 1st run of week 1 with #getrunning – 28½ minutes of exercise and 8 minutes of running. Next run: Wednesday 23rd. #
  • Just finished my 2nd run of week 1 with #getrunning – 28½ minutes of exercise and 8 minutes of running. Next run: Friday 25th. #
  • Just finished reading a bedtime story to my 3y.o. nephew. That brings back memories. #
  • Gandalf goes to the World Cup. http://bit.ly/caGGm8 #
  • Some students no matter how hard you try to teach them should just think about a career in food services. Not everyone can be a sysadmin. #
  • Dinner at Arthur Bryant's BBQ. Not bad. I prefer Texas BBQ though. Too much sauce here. #
  • Just finished my 3rd run of week 1 with #getrunning – 28½ minutes of exercise and 8 minutes of running. Next run: Sunday 27th. #
  • Not much better on a Friday than catching a flight 6 hours earlier than your original flight. Home in time for dinner? Sign me up. #

  • Going through airport security I Dropped and broke my belt buckle. Now I'm lookin' like a fool wit my pants on da ground. #
  • So good. OMG. Stuffed myself on huge crab cakes from G&M in Baltimore. Best cakes ever. #
  • Student just walked in the door from lunch complaining that 'it's a hot one out there'. It's a whopping 75degrees. I laughed. Lightweights. #
  • I think I've found out that it is possible to O.D. on crab cakes. I'm going to be walking sideways for a while. #
  • I was thinking about getting a Verizon MiFi. My AT&T usage says I'd hit the 5GB cap. I'll keep my unlimited access http://twitpic.com/1xnqxo #
  • Why do some students find that reading the book is such a difficult task? "If you'd read ahead one more sentence you'd see the answer." #
  • Airline forced me to gate check in BWI. It's not going to make the connection. Guess I'll be driving to the airport again in the morning. #
  • It's odd to be on the ground in AUS before sundown on a Friday night. Quite odd. #
  • I love Google and want to have its babies. These tools are something I didn't even know I wanted.
    http://j.mp/aZ1spq #
  • Breakfast at Sweetish Hill. Yum! #
  • Do you like fish sticks? #
  • Mmmmm. The smell of Hoppe's #9 in the evening air. Smells like…freedom. #
  • Note to self: Never pack your carry on bag on the same counter where you cleaned guns the night before. The explosives detector goes nuts. #

  • Had my pseudo week off at training. Now back to the grind. I'm on the ground at LAX in 'the land of fruits and nuts.' #
  • Just after I took this pic a Bentley pulled in to the lot to get dinner also. http://yfrog.com/g0gc1zj #
  • Awesome day – noun: Showing up to teach class and being told it was moved to the other side of Los Angeles. #

  • Just got the best kind of call from my manager. It's nice to be recognized for your work. #
  • A quiet breakfast at Rudy's? Not during #ROT The same bike fags are revving and circling the lot trying to impress each other. #ROTRally #
  • It takes talent to bend a Rover heavy duty tie rod. I've got that talent. I guess I know why it was pulling left. Must have done it at SCARR #
  • A lazy Saturday afternoon. Helping my kid study for his RHCE. #
  • Sacked out in my beanbag playing PS3 tonite and my dog brought me a present and laid it next to me. A nice dead bird. Why, thank you, Sully! #

  • Admirals Club saves me from missing another connection. The company really ought to pay for my membership. #
  • I'm at AUS: Admirals Club in Austin, TX http://gowal.la/c/Ndzm #
  • Sitting in 1st Class. The guy next to me keeps saying how much better Southwest is than AA. Last I checked SW doesn't have 1st Class. STFU. #
  • If you feel the need to remove your shoes on a plane you have no right to get upset if I fart on you as I squeeze past you to go to the head #
  • I'm at Admirals Club Dulles airport in Chantilly, VA http://gowal.la/c/Niuc #
  • I'm at Hilton Garden Inn in Vienna, VA http://gowal.la/c/Nk7B #

  • Into D.C. for dinner. http://yfrog.com/0sm0laj #
  • A bloody nose? Really? I can't remember the last time I had one of these. It's a bit inconvenient in front of a classroom I must say. #
  • Power outage at the hotel caused by thunderstorms. Neat. Guess I'll sit and play games on the phone. #
  • Tony brings the pain on an examinee. Really, dude? Trying to cheat and talk to other examinees during a test? What are you, 10 years old? #
  • Tried a Five Guys burger while waiting for my plane. It's no In-n-Out but it's as good as you'll find on the east coast. Would eat again. #
  • Not much worse than boarding a plane and finding out someone on the inbound couldn't keep down their dinner. You can't hide from the smell. #
  • It's odd getting back to Austin before dark on Friday night. #
  • Boss asked if I'd be willing to go to Bogota and Rio in the near future. I told my son. His response: Rio is the slum level in MW2, right? #
