Josh's Entries During October, 2008

So Happy Halloween! What are you dressing up as?
Video conference A: The Addams Family. Video Conference B: a pink highlighter, SEO guy, and whatever the hell @chipd is supposed to be.
@AprilRox Surprised you haven’t switched to the iPhone already!
Phillies rally is on; seems very boring and not well planned.
Preparing for the onslaught of neighborhood demon-spawns tonight. Should give the parents child-rearing guides instead of giving kids candy.
Little kids everywhere!!! They’re demanding all of our candy and saying something in some strange tongue: “trickortreat.” Send help!!!
@icelander nice lid!

So how weird is it that I typo’d “typo?”
@AprilRox You never really can tell with him can you?
@wxpnfm was playing Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on First” on the way home. Classic! As a kid I could recite the whole thing. Cool or sad?
@ColleenCoplick buy both versions of the domain — with and without the “the.”
Up since the wee hours doing a production push to MapQuest Local. Is it nap time yet?
Going into a 3 hour planning meeting. If you don’t hear from me after 3 hours: wait longer. I may get bored and post from meeting though.
@traceym75: Congrats on the http://cafepress.com redesign and branding. Everyone else: go check it out!
@icelander Feel free to come over and make @tracibabe and I dinner then. You can use all of her Papered Chef gear.

Finding last two pieces of my halloween costume are proving to be elusive.
@HIRH Anytime someone says “precincts reporting:” drink! Every time they color a state blue: drink! When a state goes red: panic..err drink!
Great post on working with @mapquest cust serv, & how fast we can correct. We also twitter, FB, etc. We’re accessible! http://cli.gs/ULT33Z
@Hicksdesign Happy Birthday! Enjoy YOUR day! Jealous of the new MBP BTW.
Woohoo! I split in the football pool this week and won…umm… some cookies, yeah, cookies because it’s a friendly pool with no $ involved.
@kplawver Groucho Marxism: Now that’s a movement worth supporting! Brilliant!
There was a type on the handouts from the grief counselors for the hotline. It’s a phone sex line. That’s really funny considering who died.

@lilitroy It says run the ol’ Statue of Liberty play for a touchdown! If it’s the whiteboard pic I think it is, I’ll translate in AM.
Broke in Rock Band 2 with @tracibabe tonight. Need to have some RB parties soon.

@danielklotz The Hivelogic Encoder is a great way to easily obscure your email address for your site: http://hivelogic.com/enkoder
Heroes on Twitter: @greggrunberg, @breagrant welcome! Like the show, Twitter also has too many loosely connected narratives to follow.
