Doing some iPad hunting today. Alas, I don’t think there’s a single retina mini in the entire city of Ames.

@KarasKustoms Is there any way to get a tracking number for my RETRAKT?

@besweeet That bothers me too. Luckily, there’s Fantastical.

@manolosavi Works with most video games, but you have to have a supported Nvidia graphics card.

On the plus side, I get to eat at Chick-fil-A today!

NVIDIA ShadowPlay doesn’t seem to work with Project CARS. Wonder why that is.

@drumdog00 I think Air Display does some intelligent compression to reduce lag. For mostly static windows it’s great.

It’s a bit of a trick because you’re supposed to take turn 5 really wide, but you can’t because of that stupid glitch.

The bug in turn 5 at Road America still exists.. #ProjectCARS vine.co/v/hjD63Zp2UeW

@besweeet When did they add the MP4-12C?!

@dani_fried Exactly. Sometimes it’s even harder to find certain games with lower stock.

@dani_fried That’s what I love. I can rent from any of the zillion Redboxes in Des Moines, and return it in Ames.

@dani_fried True.

@IsThereAnyDeal It varies.

@IsThereAnyDeal No, just the one.

Hello again, butterflies.

@IsThereAnyDeal Yes, it happens a couple times a week. And I’ve never seen it actually on sale.

Now the real question. iPad Air or iPad mini?

@BritneyKaeA Aren’t you almost short enough to pass as one yourself? 😉

@Semantics I’m just trying to find out if it’ll run Windows Media Center.

The Dell Venue 8 Pro is available now. So tempted..

@thurrott All I wanna know is whether or not the Venue 8 Pro can run Windows Media Center and connect to an HDHomeRun.

I suppose the NVIDIA Shield makes use of that same encoder for streaming.

I had no idea my GPU had a built-in H.264 encoder.

@BritneyKaeA @oliviajwright Come on up to Ames and it’s on me.

@heyitsjason Hey, me too. Neither ibuprofen nor acetaminophen is helping. :(

@Boodlezoid I hear Gravity is good. I’ll probably be seeing that at some point next week.

@shawin Maybe that broke with the iOS 7 update. I can’t tell if it’s working for me or not; my internet is too fast.

@shawin And I’ve heard they’re considering a Mac app but they haven’t started working on anything yet.

@shawin What exactly do you mean by podcast previewing? Just being able to listen before subscribing?

@shawin I’ve switched from Instacast to Pocket Casts as well. It’s just so smooth and fast.

Never have I been more glad than tonight to have ice cream waiting for me at home in the freezer.

I don’t think tonight could have been much worse..

WHY

@grantimahara Ravenclaw, no question.

The door was open so I wandered inside the old Legends restaurant. Pretty neat view of the city from up there.

So Legacy Tower is an ISU residence hall now too? Weird.

“If Oprah Winfrey likes you and you’re a Christian, you’d better check your theology.” @WretchedRadio

Had some soda with caffeine. Now I just have a headache and I’m even more tired. Blah.

There’s a guy singing and playing guitar in our front lobby right now. Live music at work? This is pretty awesome.

@ismh I have an aluminum non-Pro MacBook. It served me well for almost 5 years.

The latest Chrome dev release has some strange bugs.

Aw yeah. 34 mpg on my last tank of gas.

We empty the cross of Christ of its power when we don’t let it penetrate to heart issues and change our rebellious nature.

Taking a different route to Waterloo today. 35/20 is booooring. And it’s raining. I love this. :)

@Boodlezoid That’s the plan. I’ve got it mostly figured out.

@besweeet Agreed. I’ll always be an iPad user and I probably won’t ever buy a Surface, but their ads are great.

Got my Lamy Logo from @GouletPens! Now there’s only one question.. Which ink do I try first? go.ejd.me/1bcJCoh

@JoshCalvetti That was my plan. I waited too long and someone else grabbed them. :(

@JoshCalvetti Tons of old 4:3 Dell monitors and a couple 22” wide screens. Nothing great. Almost got a couple 1G iPod nanos for $40.

@KyChristmas It is, cause people are dumb. I’ve tried using a Space Pen but people inevitably drop it and ruin the ball.

No, my pen is not dying. You just don’t understand gravity.

That stupid bug in @Rdio STILL exists. If I pause a track then unpause it 3-4 minutes later, it doesn’t resume from where I left off.

@JoshCalvetti That was an Instacast screenshot I linked to. Pocket Casts has the same sleep timer bug on my 5, tho. cl.ly/RXUU

@JoshCalvetti Yeah. I cringed just a little bit when I saw this comparison. …f7881423410384342.r78.cf1.rackcdn.com/1379291062-Dua…

@JoshCalvetti I don’t use sleep timer or speed adjustment much, but with the 5’s larger screen at least it doesn’t feel cluttered.

@JoshCalvetti Fair point. I listen to enough podcasts and appreciate auto downloads, sorting, playlists, show notes, etc.

@JoshCalvetti I’m actually really loving Pocket Casts. I’ve been using it more than Instacast lately.

Excited for @OvercastFM, but I really don’t need another podcast app. I’m having enough trouble deciding between Instacast and Pocket Casts.

@mailbox I don’t like the new swipe gesture to open the side menu. I often trigger it by mistake when I want to archive or delete a message.

I knew it. @marcoarment is making a podcast app: @OvercastFM

My fountain pen decided to explode on me this morning. Time to toss it, I think.

Global web traffic is up 92% above normal right now. That’s kinda crazy. iOS 7 is apparently a big deal.

Aside from the always-welcome performance boosts, there isn’t anything in the iPhone 5S that really makes it worth upgrading from the old 5.

@AdamTReineke So there are 3 options: dinner and supper, lunch and dinner, or lunch and supper if they’re both small.

@AdamTReineke It’s interchangeable. Dinner can be either lunch or supper, whichever one is the larger meal.

Crafted my first game badge on Steam. That was a lot less exciting than I expected.

@AdamTReineke Shoot, they’re not showing it at @sciowa.

@Semantics Makes me wonder how many other people have had their keyboards ruined by Apple’s crappy batteries.

@Semantics By a stroke of luck I decided to swap them out for rechargeables pretty early on. It only took some violent shaking.

@Semantics Were those the Apple-supplied batteries? Mine corroded pretty badly and made a mess inside too.

@AdamTReineke Will I be able to just connect the HTPC through the Xbox via HDMI, and have it control Windows Media Center?

@AdamTReineke I’m just curious how Xbox One will work for me since I use HDHomeRun + a Windows 8 PC for live TV.

@AdamTReineke TV and sound system I guess. Ok, I agree. If one app could control all of that, it would be pretty cool.

@AdamTReineke I’m not sure what else they need software-side. The cable box is already integrated.

@AdamTReineke I had no idea Harmony was up for sale. But if MS made something like that, wouldn’t it cut into Windows Phone sales?

@AdamTReineke For controlling a cable box, I’d assume.

Congrats to @BlimeyCow on a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign! Looking forward to listening to the podcast.

@hotcereal It’s showing the Mac versions separately. My Civilization games are all like that too for some reason.

Just got Geometry Wars: Galaxies for Nintendo Wii. Man, I forgot how much fun this game is.

@KyChristmas Glasses are awesome. I’m thinking about getting a pair with blank lenses to wear when my contacts are in! #imaweirdo

More @Pebble delays. Surprise, surprise.

@besweeet 2.4GHz is pretty crowded in some places. Switching from 2.4 to 5 made a world of difference in my apartment building.

Building an HTPC? here’s a pretty slick deal for an Ivy Bridge i3 CPU. go.ejd.me/16EmSaN

@JaredSegerstrom @heyitsjason @danielyp29 Never had sushi but I’d love to give it a try.

@Vemedio Are these window controls out of order on purpose? cl.ly/O4cA

@XboxSupport9 Supports suggests I should try waiting 24+ hours before trying again. They can’t figure out what’s wrong either.

@XboxSupport9 I got it, thanks.

@XboxSupport9 Not in the last 2 years, and I’ve purchased stuff since then without problems.

@XboxSupport9 The only payment option I have on my account is still valid, and gold won’t renew until August.

@XboxSupport9 I’ve checked my billing info which is up to date. What might have caused my account to be locked (if that’s the problem)?

@XboxSupport9 When I try to add my PayPal account on the console I get error code 8C320008.

@MikeBeas I don’t think I reboot my phone often enough to be worth it.

@XboxSupport Removed PayPal and tried to add it back.. It doesn’t show up in the list under payment options after I go through the setup.

@ahhyeah After. Wouldn’t want to lose one in the water.

All @dodocase products are 48% off today!

@XboxSupport I can’t remove my main credit card since it’s linked to my Gold subscription. Adding a new one gives me the same auth error.

@XboxSupport Nope. They just said the authorization was approved, but no $ amount or anything was listed.

@XboxSupport2 @XboxSupport Done.

@XboxSupport2 Bank says there’s nothing wrong, and they did authorize a charge to Microsoft though no payment went through.

@XboxSupport2 So support thinks it’s my bank(s).. I’ll look into it, but it seems odd that 0 of my 3 separate payment options work.

Caramel chai. Mm that’s good. (@ Cafe Diem) 4sq.com/11nexH1

@XboxSupport2 Will do. Thanks for the help.

@XboxSupport2 Restarted; it didn’t say anything. Tried downloading the profile again and it worked. Still can’t buy points though.

@XboxSupport2 “Xbox Live profiles can’t be downloaded right now. Try again later.” 80070020

@XboxSupport2 Tried to delete my profile and got an error: “There was a problem performing that action.”

@XboxSupport2 Yes, everything there is current and correct.

@XboxSupport2 I tried adding a different card from a different bank and it can’t authorize that either. Don’t think the card is the problem.

@Pebble My charging cable is very fiddly and I often have to wiggle it and set it down gently to get it to charge. Not normal?

@XboxSupport2 Alright, I’ll see what I can find out.

@XboxSupport2 Appears to be.

@XboxSupport2 But if all Microsoft account purchases count, I bought a Windows 8 app just fine about 2 months ago.

@XboxSupport2 I’ve had points stocked up for a while so I can’t remember the last time I actually purchased them.

@XboxSupport2 And on the console: t.co/P8ymuo2JQ…

@XboxSupport2 Both. On the web site it says “your payment instrument could not be authorized.”

@XboxSupport I’m trying to add points to my account, but neither my PayPal nor my credit card will authorize..

I don’t even know what’s happening on reddit today.

Not bad at all. RT @ejdcar: I fueled-up my Toyota Tercel, 33.2 MPG. go.ejd.me/13Mm8T7

Love my iPad. I forgot to charge it last night and the battery is at 15% right now, but it’ll still last through another hour-long class.

I can’t stop laughing at this glitch I encountered in Project CARS. youtu.be/x0UCuxp4gK4?ac

@mrlanser I know. It’s just a bit ridiculous when everyone assumes you’re an idiot.

My i3-2100 is idling at over 50ºC. That’s just not right.

Come on people, I’m not that dumb.

I post on reddit asking for suggestions to cool my CPU better.. I’m instantly accused of installing my fan and thermal paste wrong.

@BrtneyAnderson Yay technology!

My media center PC is getting an upgrade. Going from an i3-2100 to an i5-2500K.

@JoshCalvetti It’s maybe 2 years old now? I might end up giving it to my parents.

@JoshCalvetti I can’t remember exactly when I got it.. 4 years ago at least. You may be better off with a new one.

@JoshCalvetti I’m gonna guess shipping would be around $20. I could let the H243H go for around $100.

Started a game of FTL.. I have no idea what I’m doing. instagram.com/p/XIs6jBkrF_/

Back to My Mac is great. Almost-no-setup remote access to my Mac mini at home.

What? Speedtest actually updated their iPhone app?

@vemedio Spotify, Rdio, etc shows what you’re listening to in Facebook’s “Recent Activity” section. It’d be cool if Instacast could do that.

@Justin_DeFord Don’t think I’ll be able to make it, unfortunately.

@sethreineke Comic Con?

@Justin_DeFord I’ll be out of town tomorrow but I’ll let you know if I’m back in time!

Is anyone else experiencing 15-20 minute delays with @mailbox?

iOS 6.1.3 is out. As usual, don’t update if you want to keep your jailbreak.

Got my Aeropress today.. But my coffee grinder won’t be here until Wednesday. Come on, Amazon.

@MikeBeas I have earbuds (go.ejd.me/Xlh28g) that people beg for ALL THE TIME.

@HaloWaypoint Blue!

My @Pebble shipped!!

@Meta_Watch @billg Still no luck. Also tried re-flashing to 1.3 and attempting to pair again with no success.
