Just hit @netflix’s arbitrary Instant Queue cap of 500 titles. That’ll teach those paying customers to use their service so goddamned much.

What a fantastically terrible idea.

Attention NYC: I am now mounting my bicycle, so the thunderstorms that have been erroneously predicted all week will happen shortly.

The teen me would be perplexed to learn that I would one day prefer typesetting scientific journals to designing rock and roll video games.

Terminal 5 is a deal breaker.

The Netflix movies that were mistakenly delivered to my neighbors just had to be Gummo and I Spit on Your Grave, didn’t they?

To my Philly people: I’m not saying I hadn’t been to an R5 show in ages, but the last time I saw the sound guy, he was clean shaven.

Note to self: As funny as it may be, @ChamberMonster does not need to know that the ice cream she made looks like poop.

You know you’re listening to a completely phenomenal live album when you start clapping on the bus.

Next time I spend twenty minutes tapping out an epic iPhone e-mail on the subway, I’ll have to remember that Save Draft is a lie.

3 states, 3 planes, 3 trains, 2 shuttles, 2 cars, 1 cab, 2 friends, 1 relative, 4 legendary thrash bands.

Waiting to see if I can do better than the red-eye I booked. Could be a very long da @ LAX Los Angeles International gowal.la/c/45zbq

If any LA friends are around, I’m wandering around downtown with time to kill.

Today’s agenda: 1. Drive across the desert with @essl and @VictoriaMia. 2. yfrog.com/h0bjeifj

Indio’s Motel 6 is currently dirtbag central. We are home.

Dropped off my bike for a tune-up while I’m away for the weekend. I assume the bike shops guys will do this: youtu.be/_S7AyiVfNdA

Tried the Wired iPad app since the new issue was free. I want Sean Connery to address the creative director: “Indiana. Let it go.”

Fuck cancer.

Somehow, this idea is even sillier than fan fiction.

The second best selling iPad case on Amazon tells me there’s an awful lot of people missing the point: amazon.com/Kensington-Key…

Oh man. That first Boston record. You know?

My site got hacked. Apologies to any visitors who were redirected to nastiness. It’s fixed for now and I’m looking into vulnerabilities.

Much of the best design is unglamorous and invisible, and it deserves equal accolades to those enjoyed by stunning aesthetics. #1D4D

Remember when I lamented the Wire cast’s lack of good post-Wire work, and some of you recommended the BBC’s Luther? You’re all on notice.

Puzzled as to why musicians with taste are willing to subject their music to the established filmic conventions of the music video.

On paper, this would make me roll my eyes, but I have to admit the trailer makes me want to see it.

Okay, Kanye is the appropriate beverage to understand about the boardwalk. — thatcan.be/my/next/tweet

A free four-song live EP from The Misfits, and the Catholic Church. Wow. — thatcan.be/my/next/tweet

This Monday has gotten her first dose of obvious offenses, perhaps the irony that the rubber collects. — thatcan.be/my/next/tweet

Four different versions of TV on the Radio’s new album on @amazonmp3. When did Microsoft become a record label?

Trying @songkick. Looks promising, but it failed to import 50 of my past gigs from @lastfm, which is definitely the wrong foot to start on.

Obligatory inaugural iPad video.

When you get a new iPad, @jessiarrington and @josh_stewart show their true colors. flic.kr/p/9xQLHT

How did it take me this long to find out about Bob’s Burgers? So nice to have Loren Bouchard back in my life. Thanks, @PaulDobry!

Dude, you’re at Radio City Music Hall. You’re really gonna put your feet up on the seat in front of you?

Springtime! My neighbor resumes his quest: How much work does one jeep need? How much volume and repetition can one tiny playlist provide?

Got snail mail from Google trying to sell me a Google Apps business account. You couldn’t find my e-mail address, Google? YOU’RE GOOGLE.

Trying to decide on the right analogy for what history will have to say about reality television. Any suggestions?

My album cover contest has come to a close and the scores have been tallied. Contestants received a half point for each artist correctly identified and a half point for each album, making the highest possible score 55 points.

And the winner is... Raul Gutierrez!

Combining his own considerable musical knowledge with that of several friends, as well as incorporating some clever cyber-sleuthing techniques, Raul was able to at least partially identify a whopping forty-four… See more →

Yowza, there’s a ton of great stuff in this month’s 100 $5 albums from @amazonmp3. I picked up ten of ’em. amazon.com/s/ref=amb_link…

Last chance to use your album art acumen to win an original Rob Weychert ditty crafted just for you. Ends midnight EDT: flic.kr/p/9sb8pB

Listening to the Dysrhythmia catalog reverse-chronologically, which is the wrong way to do it. I forgot how much their craft snowballed.
