• Great afternoon sailing yesterday on LakeChamplain in a 24' Paceship rented from Ladds Marina in Hero. Sadly now on our way home 8-( #
• RIP Ted Kennedy. Coincidentally last nights skate here in Boston included a brief stop at the JFK library. #tedkennedy #
• Route for last 1/2 of last nights skate http://bit.ly/127ulA #
• My new wheels. Approx 7 mins (obeying the lights) from home to station instead of 20+ by foot. http://yfrog.com/b6li7j #
• @emilsit it's a Brompton – http://www.brompton.co.uk it's in my office if you want to check it out in reply to emilsit #
• @jeremykezer I saw a cool 'big fat tire' unicycle in a Vermont bike store last week. Cheap too < $200 IIRC. Not too good for the city tho in reply to jeremykezer #
• At B of A pavilion for The Black Crowes. Good opening set by Levon Hall and Band right now. #
• Funky new engine arrangement on this train – two test ultra low sulphur emission units at one end and a 'regular' engine at the other #mbcr #
• After yesterdays unicycle comment I actually just passed someone on a unicycle !! #onlyincambridge #
• On my way to the Apple store to pick up a copy of Snow Leopard before heading to the @betahouse install party. #
• @mmartel congratulations on going indie fulltime (I think ? in reply to mmartel #

• @dlouhy Looks like @jonpierce somehow got a copy of the Windows 7 install instructions ! in reply to dlouhy #
• Typical ! I rush to get to the 5:10 train (by bike Kendall Square to North station in 10 mins!) and the train is delayed 8-( #
• Hmm… a problem that existed on my beta Snow Leopard installs also exists on my upgraded Leopard partition. Sound is forced to optical out! #
• If I plugin headphones it works fine, but the internal speakers don't seem to 'appear' at all in the devices list ! #
• Speaker problem fixed with careful use of a toothpick in the headphone jack to reset the optical jack detection switch. #

• Waiting for the Bolt Bus (1/10th cost of train and free wifi ! We'll see how it works out). Absolutely pouring in midtown Manhattan!! #

• http://bit.ly/R7HfN (via @tristan) as a new google voice user (who purchased this app last week – thankfully) this is most dissapointing ! in reply to tristan #
