@Ihnatko Great stuff, Andy. Thank you for the Tweetage.

@sarahlane "I got 99 problems but good people ain't one." A toast to my distant, unmet sister Sarah: the richest gal in town.

@Ihnatko "I didn't panic" may cover both. Maybe not. But it ranks high in terms of comprehensible improbability. I live there, these days.

@LizWeinbloom Can't go wrong. I lived in CA for a couple of years. You'll have a splendid time. Bon Voyage!

I've got it: Steve Jobs introduces James Cameron, who demos the AvaTablet: a multimedia 3-D device with Sigourney Weaver's voice. No?

How wild will it be if, contrary to so many conjectures, Apple reveals no tablet this month? They'll get hammered thanks to rumors. Again.

@Ihnatko I come from this industry. I know many who have worked w/Cameron. Here's is loathed by most, who won't work with him at any price.

@letwits The Yemeni Within. That is most excellent.

No Wonder the Eskimos have so many words for snow. Stuff really does have a whole wild diversity thing goin' on.

@Ihnatko Time Enough At Last.

@Ihnatko Joyous. I can't wait to read about the year you experienced. You have great discipline, my friend. I toast your efforts, and paper!

@Ihnatko The big question is, is our beloved Andy now able to embrace printed matter after his fascinating one-year hiatus?

@Ihnatko Clearly, I cannot take the wine in front of you.

It is cold, yes. But we have a 3 Cat Fire. http://yfrog.com/4i77yvj

Wow. This wind chill below freezing stuff makes a simple stroll to the mailbox a touch of arctic hell. Cool! Scott vs. Amundsen, w/iPod.

@LizWeinbloom It's a really long trip, but it really is the other side of the planet. Wonderful place. Either island is great.

@LizWeinbloom New Zealand. No brainer.

@letwits I believe 60% of this story will turn out to be BS. They'll make a movie out of it anyway.

@Ihnatko Indeed. I listened to Jonathan Winter's version very late last night. Ain't Xmas without Dickens.

After the 18" snowfall, I took my shovel and constructed a trail system around the the house for one of the cats. The dogs think I'm nuts.

@Ihnatko Originally, West Side Story was supposed to be about the Pasadena/Petaluma blood feud. I think. Maybe not. I am easily confused.

@Ihnatko I won't soil the TV with an AMC commercial-infested version while Mr. Smith goes to Washington is on Turner, in all its purity.

@letwits Amen. And R.I.P. Brittany. The wife worked with her on Riding in Cars With Boys, and liked her a lot. Fine voice work, eh Harry?

No help at all in the snow. Where's your shovels, http://yfrog.com/auwbcdj boys?

A thought on a matter that pains me: books stores closing. http://heald.posterous.com/

@LizWeinbloom I completely agree. That's why I have doubts about this piece, too. Good satire can be biting, but you're right-clues abound.

@LizWeinbloom Lizzy, not sure about this but I'm told Keilor's being satirical. I'm not so sure, which is always the danger of satire.

Wow, it seemed like Twitter was down, and danged if I didn't find a website that checks to see if Twitter is down (istwitterdown.com). It said, and I quote, "yes." I love this elegance.
