Amy and I started our vacation with an 8 hour dive to Arizona. The drive wasn’t too bad, lots of interesting things to look at and you could really see the landscape change as we moved East.

In case you’re wondering, we didn’t stop.

• Twitter to crash in less than 2 hours? #Twitpocalypse (via techcrunch) http://twurl.nl/bx8mnd #
• Update: It’s now past 2 PDT and no reports of twitter failures. Perhaps this really is like Y2K? (via TechCrunch) http://twurl.nl/3msrvj #
• Florida, Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles. This the first weekend at home in a long time and I’m enjoying it with a cigar and some wine. #
• How does Netflix determine “New Releases?” It just loaded up “Howard the Duck!” #

• The Dan Band is here in #sandiego this Friday at HOB. Not sure who they are? Remember this scene from Old School… http://twurl.nl/kgaue4 #
• Ever notice how digital cameras have a setting for fireworks? That’s probaby useful one day out of 365. Why not have a “turkey” setting too? #

• Summer continued education classes for free #SanDiego http://twurl.nl/lqha8a #
• Time to kick off the weekend. It’s sushi time! http://twitpic.com/6ppef #
• This has to be a joke, right? Toxic Avenger: The Musical? Wasn’t this originally a REALLY bad movie? http://bit.ly/eFsUq #
• I think Brett Favre just sneezed. Should be “breaking news” on ESPN any moment now. #
• I see a school bus drive at a stoplight waving a baseball bat from the driver’s seat. Let’s give him plenty of space. #

Congrats to Wendy and Matt Freitag for their wedding over the weekend!

• Off to New Orleans this morning. Looking forward to family, food and music. #
• I’ve been on layover in LAX for almost 10 whole minutes and I still haven’t…wait…nah, I still haven’t seen anyone famous yet. #
• Why are there so few clocks at airports? #
• Tough to see but in NOLA. At The Domino Effect, watching Little Richard http://twitpic.com/6b0pj #

• I think I might finally bite the bullet and go “Pro” on Flickr. #
• I just saw lightning, something you don’t see that often in san diego. #
• I follow less than 100 people and use a desktop application. Those of you following 100’s how do you guys (and ladies) do it ? #
• I watched “Fanboys” tonight because I had heard good things. I wish I remembered who recommended it to me so I can smack them. Bad movie. #

Just arrived in New Orleans. Dinner consisted of a fried rabbit appetizer and shrimp and crawfish etouffee as the main course.
