@jongalloway Pass PHRASES, my man, pass PHRASES. Make a sentence with punctuation! http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000360.html

@shanselman all anyone needs is the Logitech G9 mouse and MS Natural 4000 keyboard. It's real.. ultimate.. POWER!

@haacked I gotta get this shirt for MIX http://www.zazzle.com/Fourhourworkweek/product/235721514579482474

@eschaton maybe but that Tim Ferriss (4 hour work week) guy is an utter sleazeball. Reminds me of the 'girls gone wild' dude.

@shanselman it's all about the panel type. I believe Dell is using the fancy *-IPS on their 30" http://tinyurl.com/2wtmd7

@wilshipley here are some Les Paul guitar shots you might be particularly interested in http://tinyurl.com/38e59k

@LaTtEX red metal flake guitar http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/6943/bloodvoodooguitarjx8.jpg hard to capture the flakes in a photo tho

@silkcharm Be honest: it's the 'fro, isn't it. :)

@cypher23 yeah, Singstar is pretty awesome-- I'll give the PS3 that!

@wilshipley OIC, delicious monster used to auto-Amazon affiliate link items in the library. Different: I bought and vouch for each item.

@wilshipley on the PS3, sadly, my hands are tied ( http://tinyurl.com/2jox2c ). I'd love to unleash the guitarpocalypse, tho

@shanselman seriously though, times square has less ad space than your blog. It's a little obscene. Now let's hug it out, bitch! :)

@shanselman I affiliate everything I recommend, SOP. Funny to hear this from Mr. 13 ads per blog page, no sharing ad revenue w/community.

@shanselman yep, the 360 chatpad is nice. I love the backlighting too! http://tinyurl.com/39brlk

@haacked lol, looking forward to MIX! Can't wait to see everybody! It's gonna be Legen.. wait for it.. dary!

@dossy below a certain resolution, I agree with you. As displays get larger and higher DPI though, I do think RGB anti-aliasing is better

@demosthe -- lemme guess. You're using XP with ClearType disabled and have the "C" fonts installed. Don't believe? Check my CSS stylesheet.

@shanselman agree 137%. Trackbacks were DOA when created because they didn't design for evil-- at ALL. I totally blame SixApart.

@dossy is it too much to ask that people pick services from THIS DECADE? I unapologetically laugh at @prodigy.com email addresses too.

@wilshipley still waiting for the "why I'm being sued" blog post. whiskey tango foxtrot. Also, your hello kitty guitar is almost done, too.

@Carnage4Life poor people used to use AOL, too, until they wised up. Remember when AOL mattered? I laugh when I see @aol.com addresses now.

@wilshipley why so angry?

@tillig GH3 is OK, minus the Boss Battles, which are a crime against plastic guitar gameplay and mankind in general.

@jongalloway whatever, get off the keytar shredding haterade!

@bradwilson sheesh,the real "winner" in that comparo is DVD. http://rurl.org/i52

If Obama gets the nomination, the Obama Girl will have an orgasm. And @wilshipley will pay to see that.

@shanselman I'll go deeper. Perfectly executed code coverage doesn't mean users will use/buy your program. Or that it's even *worth* using.

@bradwilson are you running the latest SvnBridge from source? looks like the official release package is old, but lots of fixes in source.

@shanselman no, no, Hillary is the Playstation 3 in the primaries, and Obama is the Wii! I guess that makes McCain the Xbox 360? asplode.

@gerikson Huckabee FTW! Also Chuck Norris will roundhouse kick the crap out of people who don't support the "right" candidate.

@wilshipley "I didn't major in math, I majored in miracles" .. bitch!

@shanselman I'm reasonably adventurous, but ethiopian food is what I generously call "ace bandages and slop".

@jongalloway try latest Daemon. They keep adding more and more ways to "make money" It's a downward spiral, whack-a-mole of opt-out, we lose

@jongalloway tl;dr -- break it into parts. Blogs aren't for novellas unless you're in the top .0001% of writers. And FYI: we aren't

@bradwilson being bored with Rock Band is like being bored with sex. I guess it's possible. Expert guitar, drums, and vocal campaigns?

@wilshipley yeah, well, maybe I'll watch your video if you ANSWER MY GODDAMN EMAILS

@wilshipley do you ever answer your mac.com emails? Also, is your Rock Band on PS3 or Xbox360?

@carnage4life or you could just, y'know, politely decline

@longzheng clearly, needs more cowbell. See you at MIX!

@shanselman Witty: Works On My Machine -- using it now. Options doesn't cause any crashes either. Vista x64.

@luckiestmonkey be careful what you ask for, our tree produces some.. uh.. scary mutant lemons sometimes http://tinyurl.com/2hh7ze

@wilshipley get yourself a nice 2.5" USB HDD enclosure and drop a 200GB 2.5" 7200 RPM drive in it, yo! poof-- disk space a'plenty

@IDisposable oh, I dunno, the department of homeland security *actually doing something useful* with our tax dollars? F%&king amazing.

@shanselman it's that or keep schlepping a memory card back and forth to work every single day for the rest of my life. DRM is a bitch.

@jongalloway I only buy routers with gigabit ethernet onboard, which rules out all the hackable ones AFAIK

@wilshipley Druid, Warrior, Knight, or Wizard? I suck!

@lobrien if you turn on comments, I totally call dibs on "first!" and "your gay!!"

@jongalloway your argument basically boils down to "don't make mistakes, stupid!"; my argument is corporations shouldn't profit from it.

@jongalloway Flickr, ooh, yeah, I failed to read all the fine print in their TOS within 2 days of payment. My bad. Please take my $50 I SUCK

@wilshipley those links aren't going to click themselves my friend! I think I'm an information addict. I need help. Or Rock Band.

@kevindente but 140 chars isn't enough. I have literally no idea what you're talking about on that auto-scroll thing. I'd like to know!

@kevindente are you ever gonna update your blog again? Maybe explain to us what this auto-scroll thing is.. and why..

@engtech .. and a pony!

@jongalloway maybe power supply.. does the PC survive Prime95 torture test for 6-8 hours (eg, overnight?) One instance per core.

@topgenorth the Hitachi Travelstar 7K200 200 GB 7,200 RPM 2.5" hdd .. around $180

@wilshipley why not go with the 64MB SSD? SSDs are freaking awesome. Carry a small 2.5" external USB HDD for everything else.

@a7an enjoying FailBlog http://failblog.wordpress.com/

@kevindente that's because we use µTorrent, which is even better http://www.utorrent.com/

@kevindente supposedly Transmission does pretty well for cross-platform UI http://www.transmissionbt.com/screenshots.php

@camurphy not my setup, but I bloggerated it here http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000756.html

@hotdogsladies pondering Merlin's strange obsession with fictional congressmen. Sheeeiiiiiiiiiiii^1024iiit.

@jongalloway is on fire today. "Weekend Plans" http://tinyurl.com/2xa6qv

@wilshipley my wife can sing near-expert vocals in Rock Band! RTTH is not exactly her favorite song, but that's HER problem, man

@kevindente I do have natural gum rubber covers and a metal foot pedal for my Rock Band drums, though. I rock so hard. Well, moderately hard

@kevindente DO IT! Is there anything more satisfying than spending other people's money? Why yes, that is a rhetorical question.

@jongalloway Yegge's phone screen article is pretty "actionable", I think

@jongalloway that started happening after Exchange 2007 SP1. Never saw it before that, I'm fairly sure (re: constant password prompts)

@kevindente and there's no standalone IE7 installer for vista either. The world has gone MAD!!

@kevindente oops, French Laundry in Napa Valley, Chez Panisse in Berkeley. My bad.

@anildash timeouts are not an automatic forfeit? Busted gaming system. If you don't design as if people are evil, you've failed.

@omarshahine you were totally justified in playing the Blogger Jackass card on that one. Whereas Scoble plays it every week on average..

@jongalloway clarification. 99.5% of books are dead. If your book will be good enough to make that 0.5%, then by all means book it up!

@bradwilson "Every day something else happens at work that makes me want to be here less." don't say that in front of the new hires, man!

@joeljohnson one thing we can agree on: Mike Post is a genius. Have you heard Weeds' theme song approach? http://tinyurl.com/398dz3

@joeljohnson Choire's a genius? he sure fooled me. SWEET Cloverfield review, dude! just put kottke back already and stop the bleeding.

@jongalloway sell it to me or get Rock Band for the 360

@accordionguy "You got a purty mouth." ah, Deliverance. It's actually a great movie for all that.

@accordionguy no problem, I'm a Pepsi man all the way. Coke = brown liquid poison!

@halostatue what's wrong with American news? seems fine to me: http://youtube.com/watch?v=l4LhvhW6MMg

@wilshipley winter formal = awesome, but WHAT UP with the weak ONE guitar? My personal axe: http://tinyurl.com/2mugcj I can make for you!

@kevindente -- where? I double checked all settings, but I still have to go to "replies" tab to see responses from people I'm not following

@wilshipley I've fallen in love with you all over again. So I'm guessing when I scan the UPC codes of my complete set of maiden albums.. ?

@kevindente why so squeamish? var type inference is much more succinct. I use it everywhere.

@wilshipley plus once you factor in the plane ticket to Prague it's, like, totally a ripoff

@wilshipley the song is so damn bad it wraps all the way around and becomes good again. Almost. We sing it falsetto. We just played it @work

@kevindente it's even simpler than that -- when 90% of your world is piped in from a web browser, who cares what OS you're running?

@wilshipley LOL my wife and I sing it to torture each other. Let's move in together! That won't be weird at all! It could totally work!!

@haacked I am skeptical of your skepticism

@bradwilson did you finish expert RB guitar campaign? I find it plenty challenging, without being stuipidly difficult

@jongalloway check the File, Source Control, Bindings menu and click unbind.

@isaacschlueter @wilshipley made me do it for "caturday" http://tinyurl.com/2dhlq6

@wilshipley I was wondering when you were going to correct that, or whether I had just gone crosseyed

@kevindente MHTML? It is a HTML packaging standard, but an obscure one http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000081.html

@lozanotek true, we used that same text in my CS classes, too :) I had a GREAT teacher for algo; one of my favorite classes. So key.

@waxpancake peace out! we'll ride out "the big one" without you.

@ViNull post-Clerks KS movies are not "bad" so much as indescribably godawfully brutally painful to watch. Kind of a wash, I suppose.

@wilshipley Vertigo CEO is obsessed with the Big Green Egg, he has the remote computer too and other doo-dads for it. Need tips? Have tips?

@wilshipley you have no idea how many times that phrase is said in our household. At least once per day. oh, and, that's what SHE said.

@wilshipley mmm, delicious cream cheese

@kevindente clerks was fine (chewbacca! the wookie! http://tinyurl.com/2c4y88), *every single movie after that* was sorta the problem
