My new Yelp! account: http://calder.yelp.com/ Restaurant Week reviews for The Oval Room and Vidalia, both disappointments. #dcrw #

#GWU student installing OS 10.6? Snow Leopard is incompatible with Network Connect unless you use this minor hack: http://bit.ly/tt0Hj #

I love the perks that come with my job, like getting Snow Leopard on day 1 and working on cool projects. #

At Camp Kesem GW from Saturday to Saturday. 17 counselors, 24 campers, one week of free fun. Not bad for 2nd year at GW. #

Just saw Julie & Julia at Georgetown AMC. Streep was a great Julia Child. 8/10 #

Yet another way rich parents can buy success for their children. USA should be a meritocracy, not a plutocracy. http://bit.ly/ATXwU #

New GWU website is now live and looks great. http://www.gwu.edu #

I got my Google Voice invite about a month ago — won't use it until GV has number portability. I love my phone number. #

Loving my new iPhone. Free apps for the win. Touch typing works pretty well too. #

Let the mobile tweets commence — I am now the proud owner of an iPhone 3GS. #

Lunch at Auspicious yesterday. Midway thru meal, soundtrack switched from calm instrumental to single Backstreet Boys song, then back. Weird #

At home on the Main Line until Monday night. Adventures ensue. #

Will be home on the Main Line circa 9:30pm tonight, for the only time this summer. Call if you're there too. #

Chronicle of Higher Education has a completely new website. WTG. So far, so good. http://chronicle.com/ #

Day Three: air conditioning in apartment is STILL broken. Also, landscaping crew decides 7am is a good time to shred trees outside my window #

"No human being would stack books like this." Watching Ghostbusters. A fine dessert after watching Schindler's List earlier today. #

Watching Raiders of the Lost Ark w/ friend's 16 y.o. sis: "They should have subtitles so I know they're looking for an ARK and not an ARC." #

Very disappointed by Spring Awakening. Shallow, short, cliched, and unworthy of 8 Tony awards. Go watch Les Mis or Shakespeare instead. #

Is in the possession of 11 wonderful new Broadway musical soundtracks… And seeing Spring Awakening tonight at Kennedy Center #

Will Arnett reads "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" like a creepy old man. Hilarity ensues. http://bit.ly/m7wJZ #

Finally something to tweet about: free burrito at Baja Fresh with drink purchase: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/22795 #

Saw "Lawrence of Arabia" at the AFI Silver Theatre last night. Beyond incredible. #

“The National Parks” by Ken Burns premieres Sept 27th! http://www.pbs.org/nationalparks/ #

CCAS OTS learned what’s worse than FedEx Ground: FedEx Freight. Delivered $800 APC to architecture firm on 2000 L St. We had to get it. FAIL #

@GWToday why not profile alumnus Mark Olshaker (‘72)? He has written books, teleplays, and won an Emmy. http://bit.ly/1910ob #

I have a perfect GW schedule for fall semester. Thanks go to @GWUTRDA (Marjorie) and @theUHP (Catherine). #

Watching the 30 Rock Valentine’s Day episode. I have to remind myself it’s not actually Valentine’s Day. #

I love Arrested Development. #

Great article on the modern value of an M.A. Featuring commentary by GW’s own President Emeritus Trachtenberg. http://bit.ly/MAvalue #

Face it: the printed word is dying. Newspapers and books are on the way out. Viva la digital distribution. http://journalism-is-dead.com/ #

“She walked into my office on legs as long as one of those long-legged birds that you see in Florida…” – http://bit.ly/2u5VVM #

Gmail out of beta? Perhaps the change is meant to commemorate MJ #

@OurGWSA Congrats on the new website and blog! More information and greater transparency is always a good thing. #

King Lear at STC was the most technically impressive production I’ve ever seen. Sitting 4th row center helped too. Tix: http://bit.ly/leardc #

This weekend, I learned that I have relatives named Marcus Aurelius and Golden Love. Not kidding. I like them. #

Happy Birthday Diego! #

Firefox 3.5 is officially released! Better than Safari 4, and leagues better than IE8. Get it at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/. #

Microsoft pushes IE8 with ads that are actually funny? Say it ain’t so! http://bit.ly/18SrV3. P.S. Firefox 3.5 is still better. #

High-Five DC! http://bit.ly/zgry surprisingly amusing #

Going to First Friday up in Dupont and celebrating July 4th weekend in DC. #
