Ok, that’s enough of that.
I'm stopping the twitter digest posts. Even I was getting really annoyed by that.
I've also been writing more of late. So there's stuff coming, some of which some of you may even like. I still don't really know what this website is and what I want to do with it. In some senses I'm plagued by former success: there was some real readership (i.e. not just my parents) for this blog back in the day, but mostly while I was traveling. Now that I've moved to San Francisco, the novelty of the experience makes me feel a bit like I'm traveling again. It's touched that ancient nerve and I've given in to the urge to write.
So there you go. I hope this is a not-totally-worthless place on the web from now on. My general apologies for my lack of literary ambition these last two years or so. It's been an interesting time in my life.

- Back in SF after an excellent weekend away. Now pizza from Mystic, some wine and Bottle Shock. #
- Big day for Claflin. @jamcroy and @jdbuchanan don't even have their résumés ready they feel so good about it. @jose_lugo does, though. #
- All done for the day. What to do in SF between now and midnightish? #
- I'm sadly incapable of eating healthily on my own. I need to work on this. #
- I cannot believe I hadn't heard of open atrium until @tsondermann linked to it yesterday. SO cool. #
- Restarting flossing hurts. Restarting working out hurts.Restarting both on the same day makes you feel like you lost a bar fight last night. #
- Just did 96 pushups, but in sets as directed by the hundredpushups.com iPhone app. Feeling it. #
- SFO->BOS->PVD. Home for the @jmhinds/@meghanoconnor wedding. #

- Impressed with the overall Trader Joe's experience. #
- OEQ: Should I spend ~$40 getting proprietary wires for the Sony receiver/system I bought dirt cheap, or ~$120 on a nice regular receiver? #
- If you like wine a fair bit and have an iPhone, do yourself a favor and get the wine enthusiast app. It's just perfect. #
- If BWI (Biking While Intoxicated) is a crime, the weaving group of hippies that just passed by are a Critical Mass Conspiracy. #
- Geek cred: getting better/faster with Python, getting iTunes to show up as a media server on PS3, being enthralled by Lean Six Sigma. #
- Had a lovely dinner with @CharlieKroll last night, now am on the way to Redding, CA to see some California cousins. #

- Sox/Yanks at Danny Coyle's with Ms. KW. Go Sox! #
- This ump has money on the game. Jay sayin'... #redsox #
- There. That feels better. We gotcha numbah, C.C. #redsox #
- Just had a G&T with an orange. While my purist instincts revolted, it was non-negotiably delicious. Ps - I love the #redsox . #
- Ugh. Revolting. #redsox #
- In the last 36 hours, I have used my iPhone most often to look up words I've never heard of while reading "Infinite Jest." #
- Grilling up a storm. Looks good so far. Apologies to anyone who's sent me a text in the last 72ish hours. Just getting them now, it seems. #
- Happy Birthday to the best Mom in the world. #
- We're on our own. #
- Contemplating going digitally dark (social networks, anyway) for a while. 140 characters doesn't capture my status quo right now. #
- So that lasted. Seeing a Giants game down at the Cove. #
- Giants fans are holding their own. As is Barry Zito. #

- Wo. District 9 is intense. But a must-see. #
- At Green Apple Books for a book signing with Dave Eggers. #
- My head is still spinning from "The Crying of Lot 49." What a book. #
- Who knew @sfmoma was closed on Wednesdays? Not this guy. Brown Alum cocktail party tonight at Medjool, though. Any takers? #
- Finally at my first @thestonefoxes concert at the Hemlock Tavern. Good night for a rock out. #
- Shannon Koehler, drummer/singer of @thestonefoxes, is a madman. #
- Late start today, due to @thestonefoxes keeping us up on a school night. Off to @sfmoma here in a few for Ansel Adams/Georgia O'Keefe. #
- Pretty sure there's no place in SF to watch the Pats pre-season game. Still haven't seen Tom Brady throw a pass since last year against KC. #
- I think going @sfmoma was some of the best money I've spent in SF. The O'Keefe/Adams and Avedon exhibitions are brilliant. #

- Preacher girl was impressive: funny, intellectually and spiritually challenging, community-reinforcing. #proudboyfriend #
- Here's to hope and prospects. #
- I want to work hard and play hard accordingly. Third interview next week. Cross your fingers. Then hopefully come celebrate. #

- ...is insured again. "Um, we found your check from July 2nd. As far as we're concerned, this never happened." Thanks. Way to go. #
- I have the first mass-transit pass of my entire life. SF Muni is awesome. #
- Every time I start to talk trash and think I'm all cool, God punishes me for it without fail. #
- Today is a pretty great day. #
- Dominant activities of late: teaching myself Python and reading everything I can about Lean Six Sigma. Not sure which is more geeky. #
- Going to watch the Sox beat the bejesus out of the Yankees for a bit, then off to NightLife cocktail party @calacademy of sciences. Psyched! #
- Good thing the @calacademy cocktail party was awesome, because the Sox disappointed. Big time. #
- He took more steroids than Ortiz. Just sayin'. #
- Still seething a bit about the Sox game last night, but trying to cram for interview on Tuesday at a coffee shop with the preacher girl. #
- I believe in David Ortiz. #
- The Sox need a radical turnaround. That was pathetic. Anyway, quick nap, quick visit to UCSF Gen, then hopefully partying in The Mission. #
- Off to church to hear the preacher girl. #

- Several hundred dollars later, I have a new iPhone 3GS. I should be enjoying it more than I am. #
- I'm at the SF theater festival in yerba Buena gardens. Pretty cool. #
- I've come to the conclusion that I can probably live without cable TV, but high-speed internet is a must. This DSL crap is killing me. #
- Man I feel cool: tomorrow night @tobymuresianu doing standup, Thursday night @thestonefoxes (buddy Shannon the lead singer) have a rockshow. #
- Unbelievable. Four days too late, the cab company has found my old phone. At least there are good, honest people out there. #
- Any of my lady friends in SF want to take the day off on Friday to get a free haircut from a friend who works at the best salon in the city? #
- Isn't it great to find out you're uninsured because your benefits company lost your check and decided you didn't pay? Single-payer now. #
- Just ran 4.26 miles and feel fantastic. #
- It occurs to me that I haven't heard DJ extraordinaire @nattyheavy spin in nearly (over?) 2 years. Something deeply wrong with that. #
- Off to a speakeasy downtown. It requires a password. That's pretty awesome. #
- This place is awesome. I'm in the in crowd. Or whatever. #
- Walk up buena vista, coffee, cleaning, laundry, lunch, FT Weekend, then hopefully watching the Sox and the Giants. #
- At Danny Coyle's in the lower Haight watching the sawx. #
- Film Night in Dolores Park. I love this city. http://twitpic.com/cgxc6 #

- ...has a very important, potentially pivotal appointment to keep tomorrow at 4:30. Wish me luck. #
- Pivotal appointment now at 14:30PST. Please reschedule positive thoughts accordingly. #
- Went well. Thanks for the luck and all. Phew. #
- Watching the start of Sox/Rangers (in HD) at Tommy's Joynt on Geary, then heading to see HP6. #
- I've been in SF for a week. Other than the first day, it has been sunny for more than an hour exactly twice. #
- SF is not only crazily diverse, it's diversely crazy. Rich, poor, black, white, Asian, Latino: everybody has an equal chance of being nuts. #
- At the Hotel Biron, a tiny but sophisticated wine bar on Rose St. near Market. Very good Albariño. #
- "Know what's weird about SF?" "What?" "I'm happy and that's no longer novel." Amy's going to say I'm totally emo after that, but whatever. #
- Beautiful day in SF. 60sish and not a cloud in the sky. Wish I could go golfing, in fact. #
- At the Connecticut Yankee in the Potrero. Closed thing to New England for 3000 miles. #
- Sox win! Good times at The Yankee. (Cant believe I just said that.) Now watching @tobymuresianu at an open mike night in Petrero Hill. #
- Smart guy left his phone in a cab tonight. Thank God for Mobile Me's Remote Wipe feature. I wouldn't be able to sleep otherwise. #
