I am in stable condition after the first of many heart attacks attributed to Johnny Manziel. Wow! A&M survives 6 turnovers and a missed PAT. #
Coach Sumlin likes to win! #gigem http://t.co/gtmTcoCi #
Most realtors are quick to book a 2-hour showing, but can't be troubled to take 1 min to provide feedback. Serious lack of professionalism. #
Eric Winston's heartfelt post-game interview after the Matt Cassel injury. A reminder to us fans that its only a game. http://t.co/y1r21RFq #
@mkw1342 I'm dropping baseball down to third until February or so. in reply to mkw1342 #

Something weird just happened at straight up 11pm. Felt like our house just moved. Heard clinking glasses from the kitchen. Anyone else? #
Earthquake with epicenter in Irving? I am definitely moving to Austin! #
Indeed it was I whose email made the Dallas Morning News blog about the earthquake. Scroll to the bottom. http://t.co/pCroobb6 #
Giggle. Sudden expertism. They should interview people who actually write code and have deployed an HTML5 app. http://t.co/4lvdoX66 #
@burin I understand! But "…you’re just rendering on the mobile device." in reply to burin #
@burin The sooner you come to peace with that, the better off you'll be. in reply to burin #
The way to work is different lately. http://t.co/CXQ0RW4i #
@DavidHainlin Where to? in reply to DavidHainlin #
@DavidHainlin Very cool…hope they are treating you well. Know what you mean about the out of town thing. Sorta doing the same thing here. in reply to DavidHainlin #
Being the new guy means people scrutinize your early commits. My first has touched off a before_filter debate. I'm outnumbered. #
Drove home yesterday while listening to the Rangers blow the AL West. Not much good happened in/to Dallas while I was gone. #
Rams FG kicker Greg Zuerlein is 13/13; perfect in 5 games. This includes 4 from less than 40, 5 in the 40s, 3 in the 50s, and 1 60 yarder! #
Josh Hamilton ABs are pretty much a waste these days. Getting real close to petitioning to sit this guy and let someone else give it a go. #
@junior_miller @rhettmiller Did the uniform czar have another setback. If so, I'm really worried with another college game day upon us. in reply to junior_miller #
Goodbye Josh Hamilton. #

Does Mumford & Sons have a saw player? Sorry to say this, but I hate their music with a pretty serious passion. #
The dreaded early morning dermatologist appointment. #
@RoccoPendola You need a channel for Hockey, Springsteen, The Ticket, and just every day life stuff. And another for The Street Rocco. in reply to RoccoPendola #
Wow…just now seeing the way the Packers/Seahawks game ended! No way that was a SEA touchdown. The Packers were jobbed! Crazy. #
The awesomeness of a jury summons for two weeks after you start a new job in a new city. #
Revolution. Interesting premise, but terrible, boring show. We're cutting the power on it. #flashforward #theevent #jericho #terranova #
@twmills Has PeopleAdmin hired anyone else? You guys ready for my first day? #
Early morning routine physical. But damn, two shots! Ouch! #
In mourning the death of Andy Williams today, I've been conjuring up the image of Paul Williams. Don't know what to say. #littleenoslives #
Apropos TripCase going away lunch. I get served last; everyone done or nearly done eating already. Thanks to all who joined us today! #
Officially done at Sabre and the TripCase team. I wish all my former colleagues luck with all of their big plans! Starting a new gig Monday. #
@RoccoPendola Absolutely had to have @waze when I rented a car in Central France and the GPS that I booked wasn't available. Saved our trip! in reply to RoccoPendola #
Hey @eatwholly, that commercial that you keep running over and over and over is really not that good! #
Just done watching 'Last Resort' off the DVR. Now we're talking! Interested. #lost #island #submarine #wherearewe #
Doing the Kona Beer sampler tonight: Wailua Wheat, Fire Rock, and now Longboard. #
Johnny Manziel is fun to watch. That run-and-gun offense has got to be a bitch to play against. Nice to finally beat Arkansas. #aggies #sec #

"For whatever you’re doing, for your creative juices, your geography’s got a hell of a lot to do with it." — Neil Young #
Why Do Realtors Capitalize Every Word In Their Listings?
Trying to decode their copywriting techniques. #
@pearsonified You are speaking too much TRUTH for one day. Spread that out a little bit. in reply to pearsonified #
Just returned from France where I needed the Google Maps app. Sounds like the iOS6 Maps app would have been useless there. #closecall #
People who are paid to write copy should write good copy. Sometimes developers are better than marketing people, IMHO. #attentiontodetail #
@pearsonified Yeah, since we all have a finite lifetime, if you trade time for money, you are inherently losing. in reply to pearsonified #
Just cooled our heels at Boston's while we had our first house showing. This is becoming a bit surreal now. Have another tomorrow. #
So scared of getting older. I'm only good at being young. #
Beat The Hell Outta South Carolina State! And thanks for the birthday wishes! #aggies http://t.co/999kb9iG #

Following the Profar story from Saint Emilion France thanks to @NewbergReport. Who plans an out of country vacation in September?! #baseball #
After a long day of travel yesterday, we are back in the States. Life won't be slowing down. Details soon. But for now, football & baseball! #
Glad to see an Aggie victory, but still uncertain how this team does in the SEC. SMU was terrible at QB today, so defense kinda untested. #

I unlocked the Arc de Triomphe survival badge for making it up the near endless spiral staircase. Amazing once there! http://t.co/gS5Nzlfd #
Took the stairs up to the 1st floor of the Eiffel Tower. Ouch. Having drinks in the lounge avec moi femme. http://t.co/DtdR4SYh #
Bonus: the lounge is playing Norah Jones to make us Texans feel at home. #happypills #
Guess we men have been doing this for ages? http://t.co/0FkylphV #
My lunch. Intestines. C'est trop riche. Suzanne was surprised I went this direction. In the end, I kinda was too. http://t.co/viOues2m #
Hot as hell. Concept cars have no better venue than the Champs. Renault, in case you are curious. http://t.co/V5y71IAR #
A new nemesis: the European combined washer/dryer. This f'er will hold your clothes hostage and take hours to work thru it all. UX: pas bon. #
Day 4: Calves are downright furious with me. It's mutual. #
The Arc'ward side of the Champs took a big bite out of the Eisenhauer economy. Equal parts his & hers at least, but still no TdF gear. #
Nothing but the English Shorts channel avail on TV (in English) in this Parisian flat. That's played out, so now streaming @TicketRadio. #
Last time I was drunk in Paris was my first night in Paris in 1998, a mere 14 years ago. Beer then, wine now. Refining with age? #
So weird to go to bed knowing Cowboys/Rangers have games in a few hours. Missing live sports a lot! Glad they both won. #
Awakened in France from a nice nap when the big boss from Poland calls. Uh, surprised. Oh well. #
All that pavement and this is how you park in Europe?! I am confused here nearly all the time. http://t.co/AcCfaqck #
At the summit of Puy de Sancy, the highest peak in the Dordogne. Yes, I made it quite nicely. Now for the way down. http://t.co/BbTpW0VK #
@junior_miller I'm in France. Any preferred place to get TdF gear? In the Dordogne now, but returning back through Paris. #

Giving Eric Johnson's 'Ah Via Musicom' the rare spin this morning. #
I just saw the Oracle walking out of the bathroom. I declined her offer of a cookie (as she knew I would). #
This is mind-bending stuff. I need to take a deep dive into concurrent programming to be ready for the Future. Get it? http://t.co/Unxtmp3c #
I made a choice and that choice cost me more than I wanted it to. #
@daniel_jacobson Your retweet left off my Future pun! Guess the future's in the past. in reply to daniel_jacobson #
This never gets old. @UPS delivers my Amazon books to the wrong address in my neighborhood leaving me to have to deal with the neighbors. #
@UPS FYI, Amazon wants us to call you for problems. See policy at http://t.co/uHvrtXiC. So quit redirecting your problems back to @amazon. #
I could use a Cabo Wabo margarita right now. #
I rescued my books from the neighbors who, after 26 hours in possession of my package, were never compelled to bring them to me. #peoplesuck #
Who says you can't teach a dog new tricks? Matthew McConaughey breaths new life into a tired phrase. #
The 00s sucked for us all, economically; 8 years Rep, 2 years Dem as President. And each want us to believe in them. http://t.co/tev5DYqb #

@RoccoPendola Dude, really? Your anchor point for unbearable heat is embarrassingly low for someone who has spent time in Texas. in reply to RoccoPendola #
@RoccoPendola Yeah, guess so! I thought this was a Cali thing. in reply to RoccoPendola #
@clarkware I've never heard of this show, but am convinced it needs a better name. in reply to clarkware #
RIP Commodore Decker, Captain of the USS Constellation. I forgive you for nearly getting the Enterprise destroyed. #veeroff #williamwindom #
This is the only way to track a Rangers game if you can't watch or be there. http://t.co/wMnmODmJ #
Bob Seger was 35 when he recorded 'Against the Wind'. He was 27 when 'Turn the Page' was performed. Dig the early surfacing of an old soul. #
Is the Dutch Oven wearing old-school stirrups out there? Is this new or have I missed his last couple of starts and this is just his thing? #
@jarkko Your point is that those new potential winners weren't perfect either? Seems like if you didn't cheat, you didn't compete. in reply to jarkko #
For anyone wanting a well-considered take on the Lance Armstrong situation, give this a read: http://t.co/fuws3M4x #
Always amazed at how much more work I get done at home than in the office. There's something counter-productive about the office lately. #
What is a box full of Dallas Stars playoff towels worth from the '99-'04 glory years? Any takers out there? http://t.co/5D7XOBsN #

Shout out to the guy we used to call 'The Grenade'. Yeah, we met your female equivalent who proceeded to blow up a perfectly good evening. #
@twmills Great to meet you, maybe we'll catch up soon? #
Have seen at least some of the depth of the rabbit hole. I'm starting to believe. #redpill #
When the pet sitter doesn't appear to feed or leave water for the cat…and seen on the security cam reading a paper, there is hell to pay. #
Just now seeing the A&M shooting story. I don't understand people, man. Hate that this happens period, double hate that it was at my school. #
I'm trying to free your mind. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it. #
Sounded like armageddon around here at 2am last night. Big lightning, loud, house-rattling thunder. Rolling a bit sleep-deprived today. #
@RoccoPendola I need to give you +K for 'The Ticket' influence on @Klout! That's gotta be a category pretty soon, eh? in reply to RoccoPendola #
@RoccoPendola @SportsSturm The Ticket has had amazing luck on the whole. With respect to you, I think your stock is on the rise here. $RPA in reply to RoccoPendola #
Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead…only try to realize the truth. Its not the spoon that bends, its only yourself. #
Today's challenge: Find a machine with IE7 or below because that's what our expense report app requires. Its 2013, people! #wtf #wtfagain #
Okay, meant to say its nearly 2013. Still, its 2012 and that doesn't lessen the ridiculousness of the situation. #
Rolling straight to Billy Idol from Bob Seger which I think is strangely okay. Bob was truly a weathered soul before his time. #
Have been declining invitations to Fantasy Football Leagues for years, but wrote and sold awesome software for them back in 80s…in Pascal! #
@RoccoPendola Yeah, tried that once. Somehow it wasn't as much fun, but that was before NHL games were more widely available. in reply to RoccoPendola #
The thing about the FFL software is that I was working on a web version in 1995 or so. And now look at the industry. Shoulda stuck with it. #
What is a box full of Dallas Stars playoff towels worth from the '99-'04 glory years? http://t.co/5D7XOBsN #
More from the time capsule. Doing some cleaning. http://t.co/3bghcFC3 #
And this from Tech-Ed circa 1996 or so. Enterprise Edition! http://t.co/7FCChVKN #

U.S. Mens Basketball team struggles against Lithuania (1-3), but wins. Lithuania?! Yeah, they could definitely beat the Dream Team. #not #
Really wishing I could stay up for the 7 minutes of terror in a few hours. Amazing engineering on display. #
Just had my first Big Red in about 30 years. Sucked. Man, I remember those tasting much better. #
The Oracle tells you everything you *need* to hear. #
I'm thinking Matz was Yelping for a good Mexican food place for dinner. Or, maybe just working on Ruby 2.0. http://t.co/UtqKMBMs #
