Going to have to hold off on continuing my nap because I have been maliciously tapped to referee Sidekick's favorite game - "Put things on a hot stove then go across the street to visit with Mom".

Per Twitter. Looking for another orifice people would stick expensive plastic things into. The iDo and IPository are are out because who wants to watch that commercial?

Sad thing is both would result in the consumer's friends saying, Dude, lose that thing". Which is the exact feature that will make Apple rich with the EarPod.

It's possible that I need to take longer naps.

I'd go home right now but I am in the middle of

port install xmms2

Because trying to listen to this audio stream using QuickTime player is making me very irritable.

Shopping online for 17" laptops.

You may be thinking, "But, Tom, if you make the notification say 'Don't do stupid things'…."

Never fails. Fire up IDE. Phone rings. Someone has committed an atrocity in their accounts payable.

I need to make a mobile app.

Send a notification that says, "Tom is away from his code. You may now do stupid things".
