Zune HD has integrated the Marketplace/browser feature very nicely. A few thumb gestures from Neko Case brings me to Sally Timms. 9:39 PM Apr 11th via TweetDeck
Beautiful song-poem: Neko Case, "Star Witness," from "Fox Confessor..": "The nightgown sweeps the pavement clean." Voiced like only Neko can 9:19 PM Apr 11th via TweetDeck

@PaulSweeney On the whole, Microsoft Redmond campus nice, but older part has no great architectural distinction. Just suburban office park 8:46 PM Apr 11th via TweetDeck in reply to PaulSweeney
Zune HD displays great photos of each musical artist, while you listen. Sweetens the sound. Neko Case quite fetching. Flaming red hair. 8:42 PM Apr 11th via TweetDeck
There you go....retweet that quote. 8:38 PM Apr 11th via TweetDeck
Decades can in fact grow sweeter as you yourself grow older. Aging is no death sentence for the soul. 8:38 PM Apr 11th via TweetDeck
RT @JPBarlow "some nostalgic for 70s - but no one will ever feel nostalgia for the Uh-ohs" JK--I hated the 70s. The 00s had better music. 8:35 PM Apr 11th via TweetDeck
@TheCloudNetwork #Cloud #TCN "0% of MSFT staff working on cloud http://bit.ly/afzbQN : JK--Headline ridiculous, wrong, & contradicts story. 8:26 PM Apr 11th via TweetDeck in reply to TheCloudNetwork
Relistening to Beatles' entire output, in their first 3 years. "Rubber Soul" awesome but overrated. "Help!" the best of pre-Sgt Pepper LPs! 8:20 PM Apr 11th via TweetDeck
@robsaker I'm not crazy about the touchscreen typing interface, but otherwise the Zune HD is well worth the upgrade from 1st genn. 7:59 PM Apr 11th via TweetDeck in reply to robsaker
Twitter on Zune HD a good way to surf the web of tweeted tiny urls. 7:46 PM Apr 11th via Zune HD
I rate my Twitter interfaces in descending order of usability: TweetDeck, browser, mobile text, Zune, Verizon FIOS. 6:28 PM Apr 11th via TweetDeck
First tweet from twitter app for Zune HD. Better app for reading than typing. 6:23 PM Apr 11th via Zune HD
Lazy spacy Sunday. Listening to Mamas and Papas. Dream a little dream of me. Cass at her coolest. 3:10 PM Apr 11th via mobile web
Weingarten's latest was lamentation on unbelievably lame limericks written by techies about tech. Whither the lovably lascivious limerick ? 2:10 PM Apr 11th via txt
Gene Weingarten cracks me up. WashPost humor columnist still hasn't jumped shark. He's one himself. 1:53 PM Apr 11th via txt
Listening to Hollies "Stop Stop Stop" overhead at Harris-Teeter. Always puts me back in 1966. Summer. That, and "Carrie Ann." 12:27 PM Apr 11th via txt
Was telling Sunny that Seattle has benign but dramatically changeable cloud structures. When there I tend to look up. 12:21 PM Apr 11th via txt

Exercise is not a morning-after pill for overeating. It's a once-a-day dietary supplement & behavioral regimen to control overeating. 9:55 AM Apr 11th via txt
Yes, national capitals work best on the corporate campus model, plus college campus & town square. Public work meet petition collab spaces. 9:42 AM Apr 11th via txt
Love the Oracle yacht lagoon, the Nike sports complex, the US govt's demonstration-optimized National Mall. Sometimes symbolism suits. 9:33 AM Apr 11th via txt
Sometimes even single-slab HQs grab me: eg, Ford world HQ, Dearborn. My early college years close-by. Henry's old Fair Lane manse cool too! 9:28 AM Apr 11th via txt
One of my professional passions is architecture of corporate campuses. Sometimes the most noteworthy ones inform my actual (sweet) dreams. 9:21 AM Apr 11th via txt
Microsoft's newer part of the Redmond campus is gorgeously architected. Exquisitely functional but artsy. Close-packed but open & spacious. 9:17 AM Apr 11th via txt
I still prefer a raised tactile text-entry device. Lets my nerve endings know physical Jim plugged into virtually scattered cyber-Jim. 9:10 AM Apr 11th via txt
First tweet from my ZuneHD 10:00 PM Apr 10th via mobile web
Charging my new Microsoft Zune HD. Going to give black 1st-gen Zune to Sonya. Older runs perfectly OK. Fits my hand. Tough lil' music box! 8:32 PM Apr 10th via web
Every time I stay in Bellevue, Wash., I compare it with previous time. The place feels bigger, more built up. Perhaps because it is. 6:47 PM Apr 10th via txt
Back home in Fairfax County. Quick little grocery shopping with the wife. Some Chinese. Some coffee. Had a quick dose of Seattle. Need rest. 6:38 PM Apr 10th via txt
Taxi radio playing Beach Boys "Sloop John B" on way to Sea-Tac Airport. Chorus appropriate, except the bit about "worst trip." Been cool. 9:02 AM Apr 10th via txt
I always buy the physical CD, even if (as usual) I copy it to my Zune & listen through that. Why? The CD's my backup/restore medium. 7:33 AM Apr 10th via TweetDeck
A good record store is like a good radio station. The clerks have good tastes, play good stuff, & recommend. You browse, absorbing, grooving 7:30 AM Apr 10th via TweetDeck
Reading Seattle Times piece on "Record Store Day." I only buy CDs & only at record stores. Prefer the shopping & listening experiences. 7:26 AM Apr 10th via TweetDeck
