I'm sorry but it is NOT cool to wake up and find a snow filled drive way. #
"Taper Jean Girl" that's the Kings of Leon I love. #
Looking into ways to improve my antennas reception for OTA TV. Learning all about the differences in coax cables. #
@ronxo That's so bad it kinda makes me like Charles in Charge a little less too. Just by association. in reply to ronxo #
@modsuperstar Nothing says the Holidays for me like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. in reply to modsuperstar #
What is going on with the Vikings tonight? This isn't the team we've been seeing this year. #
@krschuerman I had the same thought and now I'm done watching tonight. Weak game. in reply to krschuerman #
Hit Girl trailer of "Kick Ass" http://twurl.nl/6iywoe I have been reading the comic and yup, it's that messed up. #
I'm not liking the weather outlook for this holiday. Thinking of making a trip home early. #
Made it to my parents before the big storm hit. Merry Christmas one and all. #
@dwj My "mysterious" gift was brought back here Friday. I'll open it Friday morning and take lots of pictures at that point. in reply to dwj #
Keeping an eye on this storm, plotting next weeks front page. I'm thinking a feature on those who keep our roads clear is in order. #
Watching a doc about the formation of the moon. Holiday dinner planned at 7 p.m. #
Hoping to return home today. Not looking forward to the foot or so of snow I must have on my roof and driveway. #
@dwj see that's what I'm affraid of. Is it still snowing? in reply to dwj #
@dwj we have about the same amount here in Benson but we've had it cleared a few times. My house on the other hand. Yikes. Happy holidays. in reply to dwj #
@krschuerman If you want to keep working out you're more than welcome to come help me later today. Mine has yet to be touched. in reply to krschuerman #
@krschuerman You are a lucky man sir. Happy holidays indeed. I'm still at my parents and don't know what my place looks like. in reply to krschuerman #
@dwj If you go out, tell me how the streets are looking in Marshall. Debating about when I'm going to head home. in reply to dwj #
@dwj I didn't bring my charger so I've had it turned off for a couple days. I'll give you a call in a bit. in reply to dwj #
Just finished digging out my parents drive way/my Explorer. Not looking forward to finding out how much more I have to do at my own house. #
Took 1 hour to go 25 miles. Guess my plans have changed. #
@krschuerman thanks. I am adding a day at my parents. The roads up here stink. in reply to krschuerman #

So I spent part of my afternoon clearing my driveway of the remaining snow only to find out we're in for more. Why do I live in Minnesota? #
Finally found some motivation to do some much needed house work today. Feels good. #
Coffee pot set for the morning, winding down for the night. Best part of waking up indeed. #
@jeffcannata I think they're fantastic. Obviously a lot of work on your end but truly enjoyable. I'm constantly impressed with them. in reply to jeffcannata #
Randomly I find myself in the mood to listen to Rufus Wainwright. #
I love Craig Feguson, no one else could get away with using a cheep puppet to his a 1,000th episode. Brilliant. #
Every time I see an ad for the film version of "Nine" I get excited, then they reach Fergie in the cast list I become disappointed. #
Best musical guest on Ferguson ever. Dracula from Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Epic. #
Watching the Resident Evil animated movie. Yeah, Capcom design looks strange in film format. Bad lip-sync too. #
Re: Resident Evil flick – It really does replicate the game experience in film though. Right down to the music. #
@Ihnatko DVR is a nice choice but if live viewing is your pleasure, remember they re-air only a few hours later. Sleep or Mythbusters. in reply to Ihnatko #
I thought I liked the story behind the Resident Evil games. Watching the movie, I'm not so sure any more. Maybe? #
A night of horror continues w/ more Supernatural season 2. #
Retweeting @iFanboy: the Iron Man 2 Trailer is live! Go check it out and make snap judgments about the movie! http://bit.ly/5mFW0h #
So I guess I'm looking at buying a new car now. The good news it a keeps on comin'. #
Tuning into twit Xmas special. If only I could have it on the home theater. #
I love the sketch but I'm shocked they're showing the Schweddy Balls SNL sketch on prime time. #
Just noticed, Netflix has moved the "Watch Instantly" tab to the first spot and browse DVD second. Interesting. #
@krschuerman I started watching a 10 episode doc on Jazz on instant watch only to find out they only had every other episode. Frustrating. in reply to krschuerman #
@krschuerman That's my big problem with Netflix Instant. There is SOME good stuff, but the never give you all the goods. in reply to krschuerman #
@krschuerman Agreed. The whole Comcast buying NBC is a bad sign for Web video. One step forward, four steps back. in reply to krschuerman #
I woke up this morning not knowing I would end the day an owner of a 2003 Ford Explorer. And yet… #
@ronxo you really take ALL your lettering serious don't you? Down to the movies. in reply to ronxo #
http://twurl.nl/z3g440 How could anyone not like JoCo. Good stuff. #

Oh I'll just watch one episode of #FNL this morning. Well there goes the rest of my day. Episode 2.8 here I come. #
Alright, I have to say it. I really don't like this trend of toolbars that Facebook has started. Please web designers, stop it. #
It's a football kind of Sunday. #FNL season 2 marathon followed by the KC/Denver game. Vikings tonight. Good times. #
Rooting for Washington to take down the Saints. Up 2ith a minute plus in the first half. #
That was the uggliest most amazing play I have ever seen (Wash. v. NO) Those watching know what I'm talking about. #
Wow, AT&T is making me not like Luke Wilson. Sigh. Like at all. #
Just downloaded a compilation of Robert Johnson songs. Been wanting it for a while and finally pulled the trigger. #
I wish the officials at the Washington vs. Saints game luck getting out of the stadium. #
I know I complain about TV ads, but they're getting worse and worse each year. This holiday has been horrible for TV ads. #
I'm looking at you Alltel. #
Not thrilled w/ the #Vikings game so far. Let's hope for a better second half. #
Orange Bowl here we come #Hawkeyes! #
@GeoffJohns0 Congrats, what page is the story on? in reply to GeoffJohns0 #
What is going on with the Vikings? This isn't how I wanted my Sunday night to play out. #
Favre seems to be making up for all those interceptions he has avoided all season long. Hangs head in shame. #
I'm really disappointed in the Vikings performance tonight. #
@cskilpatrick I actually watched that episode of Numb3rs shortly before I listened to your show. Always good to have a DB Cooper story. in reply to cskilpatrick #
They're using the Ramones "Blitzkrieg Bop" to promote Cartoon Network shows. Umm? #
Great episode of Community tonight. The show is official a favorite now. #
After doing some research, looks like the Verizon ads with AT&T's 3G coverage map are accurate. I don't see why AT&T is complaining. #
@krschuerman That was a great ad. In an age of ads that annoy me to no end, that one put a big smile on my face. in reply to krschuerman #
CAKE! That is all. #

Woke up late this morning, enjoying a little Star Trek TOS season 2 and a nice coffee. Good morning all. #
Rooting for Houston to down the Cults today. Great early start. #
All I've done today is watch Star Trek and football. Who says I am not well rounded? #
Plotting a "return" to regular blogging. I have some new ideas and things to say. Time to start stretching my writing muscles more. #
@krschuerman I get paid to write for a living but I look at my blog and it just makes me sad. I have been wanting to start over (again). in reply to krschuerman #
@krschuerman It's a great time to be a Vikings fan for sure although after a full day of football I feel I need to get up and move around. in reply to krschuerman #
@krschuerman Two-for-two sir. Add in home theater and you've got a deal. Let me know the time. in reply to krschuerman #
@krschuerman What are you using to pull down TV listings? I think I remember there being a shake up with Zap2it and MythTV a few years ago. in reply to krschuerman #
@dwj No one could blame you. I'm guessing December will be a big FNL month for me too. in reply to dwj #
Just finished Terry Moore's Echo vol. 1. Great story and art as expected. Now sleep. #
@dwj Sweet, thanks. Can't wait to check it out. in reply to dwj #
I find myself muting all the Gap and Miller Light ads this season. BUT I still haven't seen Santa sledding on razors or any polar bears . #
Slowly losing interest in this Saints/Pats game. It shouldn't be this much of a blow out. #
@krschuerman Do you have CABLEcards plugged into that box? If so how was it working with @Knology? in reply to krschuerman #
@krschuerman The Saints are looking real good but I'd still back the Vikes for a win in the NFC. in reply to krschuerman #
@krschuerman Always been a fan of the clearQAM system. I was just wondering how well Myth works with Cablecard, if at all. in reply to krschuerman #
@krschuerman Does it list the standard def feed in the listing? If so could you use that? in reply to krschuerman #
So 1:30 a.m. arrives way too fast on a layout night. Time for rest Robert, go to bed. #
Why do they advertise how Blu-ray is better than DVD on Blu-ray discs? Preaching to the converted if you ask me. #
This episode of the Office might be the most cringe worthy moment in my life. Yeah. #
What does it mean that I wonder what will happen with 30 Rock's fictional NBC world once the Comcast deal goes through? #
The Monk finale was pitch perfect. Well done. #
Started flipping through Essex County by @JeffLemire before bed and an hour just disapeared. Hmm. in reply to JeffLemire #
Listening to Hey Jude and finally heard the swearing in it. Believe it or not it's there. Listen closely. #
Hint, it's around the 2:58 mark of the song. #

I like the new AT&T ad responding to Verizon's map claims. Still, there is a giant blank spot where I live so AT&T still FAILS! #
I ran 5894m before hitting a wall and tumbling to my death on my iPod touch. http://www.canabalt.com/ #
@dwj welcome to the future sir. in reply to dwj #
I've decided to skip the comic shop today and wait until Saturday. I just don't feel like putting on another 80 miles on the car today. #
I thought I lost my Morrissey MP3 collection in iTunes but a typo cleared things up. Big relief. #
RT @ronxo: RT @tedleo: RT @pat_graham: The 120 Minutes Archive – Playlists & Videos – Episodes from MTV (1986-1995) http://bit.ly/5AfqFR #
Watching I, Mudd from Star Trek season 2. Can't decide if it's a favorite episode or least favorite. I feel like 1 of the android in the ep. #
@GeoffJohns0 my weekly trip is 40 miles one way. Well worth the fix. in reply to GeoffJohns0 #
Football + turkey = happy Robert. #
@JAFlanagan I heard something about a fan film once, but it's not canon sir. Whoever told you there was a third film is pulling your leg. in reply to JAFlanagan #
Well Thanksgiving is pretty much over. Watching some TV through my Slingbox in my old bedroom. Work starts up again tomorrow. #
First round of turkey left-overs done. Can't beat second day Thanksgiving dinner. #
@krschuerman did you build the mythbox yourself? Duel tuner? Been wanting to do one for a while. in reply to krschuerman #
@krschuerman I'm thinking of pricing out a system in the next couple months. I've been hearing good things about Mythbuntu. in reply to krschuerman #
@krschuerman How are the drivers for the tuners? Is there a lot of back end work needed to get the QAM tuner working? in reply to krschuerman #
@krschuerman thanks for the info. Will keep you posted if I pull the trigger. in reply to krschuerman #
Watching prt. 1 of the Monk finale. Epic. #

Every time I hear a shrill voice on tv say "Don" it makes me want to drop cable more. #
@dwj Ouch, sorry to hear that man. in reply to dwj #
It really is true, a news editor never knows what day it is but I always know what time it is. I keep thinking today is Thursday. Ugg. #
@cskilpatrick I have been trying to figure out which Parks and Rec line I would tweet. That was my first choice. in reply to cskilpatrick #
I'm really feeling the urge to upgrade my Godfather Trilogy DVDs to the Blu-ray set. It just feels like I should. #
I ran 4019m before turning into a fine mist on my iPod touch. http://www.canabalt.com/ #

Retweeting @dwj: If the xbox was as quiet as the PS3 and played blu-ray, it would be the perfect machine. #whatireallywant – [ well said ] #
There is a lullaby remake of Nirvana's "All Apologies" out there. Umm. #
Stephen Baldwin as the smartest man in the room? This movie is totally unrealistic. Channel changed. #
I've made a few jokes about it in the past but I bought a Snuggie and I have to say I like it. That must mean I am indeed a couch potato. #
Catching up on last season's Grey's Anatomy. Not sure how I feel about people dancing like that to a Gomez song. Unnatural. #

Proof cellphone companies don't get it. "Get ___ off these touch screen phones." Just because it's a touch screen doesn't make it awesome. #
The Green Bay fans can keep booing Favre, it hasn't really helped them much yet. #
@modsuperstar Canadians aren't suspicious. Canadians with flashlights though – shifty. in reply to modsuperstar #
A good Monday night is when I know what the front pages will look like on my papers on Wednesday. That's a good Monday night. #
Really hope the iTunes TV subscription rumor turns out to be true. I would pay $30 for that service. #
Tuesday nights almost always end with a little rock n' roll at my house. Tonight it's "Say Anything." Not sure what that says about today. #
Seriously, how could anyone have allowed the show "Cop Rock" to ever have been put on TV? #
@dwj did you get that resolved? Not a cool problem. in reply to dwj #
So I'm on Flickchart.com and I they just gave me Grindhouse and Death Proof as the opposing films. Umm, aren't they the same film? #
@flickchart Went with Grindhouse because it has Death Proof and Planet Terror. in reply to flickchart #
@ronxo In case you didn't know, Morrisey "Who Put The 'M' in Manchester" #
@ronxo is streaming on Netflix (sorry for the double at). #
Track down Jonathan Coulton's Space Doggity and put a smile on your face. #
Spent this evening catching up on Detective Comic and Sweet Tooth. Loving both stories. Different and good. #

HDCP is the worst thing to happen to home entertainment. Watching a movie shouldn't be this difficult. #
The new Microsoft ad campaign seems to be their users complaining about the older versions of Windows. How does that promote Windows 7? #
I really want a Kindle/Nook but my shelves filled with books don't like that idea. Sigh. So much reading to do. Not a bad problem though. #
Watching last nights U2 concert streaming on YouTube on my Apple TV. Heaven. #
@totallyradshow My Tuesdays run about 14 hours worth of work. I should be going to bed. But you release new episodes early. Thanks. #
@alexalbrecht My dad took me to see Ghostbusters as a kid. We had to leave the theater with Slimer in the hotel. Scared the snot out of me. #
@jeffcannata Thanks for recommending Friday Night Lights. The pilot might be the best hour of TV I have ever watched. #
So I says to Mabel, I says… I'll continue this later. #

I love The Big Bang Theory and w/ Wil Wheaton and Walking Dead posters in the background it just got better. #
@wilw Epic showing on Big Bang Theory. Well played sir. in reply to wilw #
I really think Sherwood makes the music I would want to make. How can you be sad listening to these guys? Awesome. #
If you want to smile while listening to music. Sherwood "Qu." Buy. Download. Listen. Smile. http://twurl.nl/ver0pj #
Really enjoyed Transformers 2, a lot more than I thought I would. I mean A LOT more. I had little expectation and really liked it. #
