offbalance | Today in brief

23:09 does NOT want to go back to work tomorrow! #
10:44 wishes for a heated office. Someday, maybe? Please? #
11:25 @sgreen3 ooh! What kind did you get? #
11:29 @antheia there is nothing more true. #
11:44 @yankee32879 oh no. :( #
11:45 @yankee32879 geez. Can you text her at all? #
11:50 @yankee32879 Oh, God. #
12:14 @yankee32879 send her my best, please. #
12:27 @dotmumble Gawker actually posted a great takedown of his bluster. I love the guy, but if he spent half as much time on his lyrics... #
12:28 @dotmumble ..as he does on his op-eds, U2 would have put out their next Achtung Baby by now. Was he bored of Africa, or was it the tax bill? #
12:45 @jvfriedman this is
why Skynet is no longer scary. #
13:49 @dkellergrl2001 which one? Not Mateo! His son? #
13:53 @dotmumble my issue was that Bono praised the Chinese for their surveillance of their populace's internet habits. Uhhh? #
14:25 @biggayicecream congrats on winning best ice cream at the serious eats awards! #
14:33 @_whatshername @dotmumble he didn't offer any. He just kind of ranted and rambled and made it sound like it was about the wallet. #
14:38 @dotmumble I find it flabbergasting that an ardent supporter of Amnesty International can praise China for ANYTHING. #
14:44 @_whatshername he is. And in this case, he needed to be succint and earnest in the right ways. Instead? FAIL. #
15:33 @yankee32879 my condolences. :( #
16:29 @crotch_jenkins by boot, you mean put your foot through the screen, right? That's generally what I want to do with Mac OS. #
21:34 wishes Dell would make a half-decent battery someday. #
21:47 asks if anyone out there has dealt with discount-laptopbattery.com, and if they were trustworthy with decent product. #
