Was about to Tweet “Love the new Omnifocus for iPhone interface” but opted to preemptively give myself a richly deserved swirly.

Just looked into my heart and discovered that I’m over Foursquare. If I’m ever over Twitter, how will I convey that?

In studio at @KCRW recording a Martini Shot. Looking at my ProTools audio file. I look like I sound much better. http://yfrog.com/37z5ghj
For audio geeks, please notice what an awesome one-take wonder I am: 4 1/2 minutes, only 2 edits. (Helps to have low personal standards.)

I love stuff like this: RT @ev: McKinsey did a study for AT&T in 80’s about cell phones. Prediction: 1M units in US by 2000. Actual: 109M.
Small joy #138: driving around on hot day & hot car, arms outstretched to A/C vents so cold air can go up your sleeve and around your back.
Theory: “Bewitched” minus witchcraft = “Mad Men.” Corollary: Larry Tate = Roger Sterling. Derwood = Don Draper. Continue w/ your evening.
A career best: in my WSJournal piece (http://bit.ly/4q6iX7) I manage to fit Robert Mugabe, the Dalai Lama and Liza Minnelli in one sentence.
You know what feels cool? To slip through customs with half a box of Cuban cigars. Or so I’m told.
Wow. The funniest guy on Twitter is now the funniest guy in Twitter. Congratulations to @dickc.

Finally! Someone figures out what Twitter was built for: http://twitter.com/shitmydadsays
Me, talking about my second favorite topic: delicious alcohol. (My first favorite topic? Me.) http://ow.ly/luFT
RT @badbanana: Scientists are close to creating three-parent babies. This is exactly the kind of breakthrough that could save the sitcom.
RT @goetech: Five snacks that are shaped like the universe — Ring doughnut, Pringle, Peanut, Bugle, Apple. http://bit.ly/17znyE
And people thought “Bruno” was over the top? http://bit.ly/25hUUn “Chihuahua with Earrings Stolen at Gay Bar”
A bucket at Home Depot now comes with a warning label! We don’t need health care reform. We need stupidity reform. http://twitpic.com/ew7x6
My goal is to figure out how to turn “morbid obesity” into “cheerful, upbeat obesity.” Perhaps with a brownie? That always cheers me up.
The most brilliant, thoughtful, and persuasive piece on health care I’ve ever read. And in “The Atlantic” of all places: http://bit.ly/5z89F
6 people in a box at the H’wood Bowl, 4 Tweeters: RT @goetech: @murphymike reaches for @rcbl’s cobbler @ the Bowl. http://twitpic.com/e620m
RT @badbanana: I don’t care where you fall on the healthcare debate, yelling at Arlen Specter looks like fun.

It’s sad how excited I am to be #1 in LA on Foursquare. And yet: I am #1 in LA on Foursquare!! I’ll enjoy my pathetic victory for now.
After a great 45 mins of public service, I relinquish my #1 spot on Foursquare to spend more time with my family.
Just because you work in Hollywood and make movies you don’t have to be a miserable, selfish creep. John Hughes wasn’t. http://bit.ly/KaB0j
I have got to lay off the bread. This morning I got a Denial-of-Service attack from my belt.
Thanks @thecalebbacon for the LAist.com shout out to me + my favorite Guatemalan fried chicken chain. http://bit.ly/14aGis Now I’m hungry.
I know this is late, but I’ve been busy: my guess is, all Bill Clinton heard was: “You want to go to Korea to pick up some Asian girls?”
RT @simplediary: Why do people like changes? #simplediary http://tr.im/simdi Not me.
I wish I still rode around in a yellow Schwinn.
On the Red Line taking the T in Boston for the first time in over 25 years. Will now put English Beat on my iPhone and travel back in time.
Heading to Martha’s Vineyard for a few days and thought: I wonder if there are any Foursquare locations there? Will now punch self HARD.
So perfect it hurts: RT @goetech: Funniest fifteen seconds in youtube history. http://bit.ly/BT2FF
Boston, the T, memories. The only difference now: I’m not sneaking vodka back to boarding school in my overcoat. Because I’m 40. Plus.
RT @simplediary: Where do you see similarity? http://tr.im/simdi Between the lady next to me on United 146 and one of those ridey mowers.

Here’s one thing you KNOW Obama, Gates, and Sgt. Crowley agree on: none of them wanted Biden there.

Ben Silverman: an awful NBC pres, but every network pres is awful. It’s a doomed job. Say this though: he seemed like he was having fun.
Exactly what I needed to read: a way to think about the writer’s day. RT @sacca: If you read one thing today, read this. http://bit.ly/wVspv

Loudest congratulations to @goetech: Big Bang Theory a smash at ComicCon, Neilsen top 10. The sitcom is back! (Now where’s my overall deal?)
RT @simplediary: Someone you have killed in your thoughts: The guy who invented the “printer driver” http://tr.im/simdi #simplediary
In the movie version, the real Skip Gates is tied up and gagged somewhere, while his evil twin makes a huge deal out of the arrest thing.
RT @simplediary: When do you get passive?
http://tr.im/simdi Only when I’m also getting aggressive.
