  • "I AM ALL EARS" #nightmareiftrue #
  • Like the Maddy L'Engle dragon, all wings and eyes. Except ears and lobes. A flurry of aural nightmares come to life and roaming the world. #
  • Beware the eldritch horror from the deeping void, it shall hear the world and consume all. Its words are spoken, heard, and made unspoken. #
  • Speaking of which, I have never heard 'I am all eyes' or 'I am all noses' or 'I am all fingers'. Wait a min, heard the last one. No comment. #
  • For J: Go the Fuck to Sleep, http://www.amazon.com/dp/1617750255/ #
  • Cupcakes? Cupcakes in a van down by the river! Gigi's cupcake van to be exact. http://twitpic.com/4qahqj #
  • I don't know if parking your cupcake van outside the pf chang's is the best idea, but whatever. After chinese, I never crave cake. #
  • But I am sure I am in the minority. Who doesn't think cupcakes after eating at a chinese place with "bistro" in their name. #

  • I'm bummed since I was bounced by ReadyTalk last week. I was hopeful that I would at least get to see the inside of their offices! #
  • If you could hook the last pay event on a meter, you could create an app to track avail parking in a city. Imagine the aggregated data! #
  • Real time stats on parking in a major city, along with implied behaviors. No easy way to track if the spot is open even if its paid. #
  • A paid open meter could be estimated. I bet the parking authority for the city has some rough numbers and percentages. Could extrapolate. #
  • Could pin the data on googlemaps and have the pins color coded. Green for open, yellow for possible open/paid. #
  • If parking behaviors are eventually plotted, then events could be avoided. And in Denver, events can occur on any side. #
  • Could even couple the data with traffic, providing a crude navigation feature to avoid chokepoints and land a spot. #

  • Did you know the human mind has specific neuron pathing and chemical response for cursing? #themoreyouknowthelessdetentionyouget #
  • @neilhimself My wife, whose tastes vary wildly from my own, is loving my copy of The Graveyard Book. Thanks for the awesome work you do! #
  • @wilw I finished number 2 last week, I thought it better than the first. More sam spade, less formula vengeance. Plus: zombies! in reply to wilw #
  • Read an article yesterday about Napoleon's junk being sold at auction. So someone has Napoleon's preserved penis on their desk. #true #
  • Here I am joking about fertility idols and perserved animal parts, and I read about an exiled emperor's penis at auction. Weird. #

  • I have the knee of an eighty year old… Dog. What is that in dog years? 560 years? God that is a shit knee in any context. #
  • I bet someone out there actually has a 560 year old canine knee sitting on their desk as a fancy paperweight. Archaeologists are morbid. #
  • Better than the 1500 year old carved penis fertility idol sitting on the anthropologist's desk, I suppose. Those guys are pervs. #
  • Rockies won, bus is full of drunks, and traffic is at an utter stand still. Ahhhhh, Denver. If only you had teleporters at the bus station. #
  • I can understand why some never drink and why other drink too much, but I can't understand why it smells so bad. #
  • Why does the body insisting on throwing every ounce of bad stuff out of every pore after having a drink or two? #
  • Its like the universal balance has to be maintained. If you drink, get confident, your smell drives the opposite sex away. All balances out. #
  • You could ask that cute girl for her number, but then again, you smell like the bar room floor. Gag. #

  • 4 mins until meeting time and I am the only one in the conference room. Early bird is lonely bird. http://twitpic.com/4mhm5t #
  • In other news, empty conference rooms are quiet. Like 'hear my own heartbeat and the hvac fight over attention' quiet. #
  • I wish there was a cricket in here. #
  • I should let my gaming geek persona take over and create a standard distribution curve of possible times, assign scores to std deviations. #
  • Then as people come in, award them points. After everyone arrives, I award the winner with a m #
  • interrupted by the zealous enter key… award them with a mint! #
  • And when they look at me and wonder why I just gave them a solitary mint, I would answer: "highest points, you win." Plus: halitosis dead. #
  • 2 ipads in this meeting being used for presentation. I think it is valid use, question is how do you manage it as a company resource? #
  • Does it fall under the company computer usage policy? Since it is a personal asset? #
  • If so, does the company pay for it? Reimbursed? Can they confiscate or control under terms of employment? #
  • I am really conflicted. I have my own laptop that I would prefer to use over a company machine. Policy says I can't, but I could use a ipad? #
  • Where do you draw the line? Where does usage/value make the distinction? Where does risk and liability defined? #
  • Or does it boil down to where you draw the line between work and personal life? When tech starts to invade every part of life, does it blur? #
  • Governance of tech products would have to get blurred as tech embeds itself in all we do. #
  • The trick would be to provide the backend for corporate communications on those private devices. So corp info never leaves the corp. #
  • If the info is abstracted from the device, then the company would have no risk or liability at the device level, right? #
  • Like using webmail on a home pc. The mail is still on the corp network. Close the app, the session ends, no data persists on the home pc. #
  • So using citrix or remote session app, I could use any device I want. If that info was cached and encrypted locally, I could work offline. #

  • Hertz counter in san antonio is slower than frozen vomit running uphill. I'm fifth in line, waiting 30 mins so far. Tick tick tock tick. #
  • And I told a lady on the plane that I consider myself a patient man. Alanis Morrisette would call it a certain 6 word. #
  • At an hour. Thanks hertz. #
  • The desk is trying to upsell everything. Fuel, insurance, model, size, features, magical unicorn fairies in the trunk. #
  • TRUNK MONKEYS! #

  • I have been spoiled by google's autosearch function. When I type something in, if it doesn't return a result, my response: Google's broke! #
  • Like that extra return or click takes way too much work. Thanks google. I am ruined. #
  • @anildash seesmic for desktop has a multi network setup, and you would have to check the plugins avail, but I bet there is a contact mgr. #

  • Traffic and taxes are equivalent. Given enough people in a certain proximity, both will spontaneously come into being. Abogenesis! #
  • I would call it critical mass, but it's mass seems irrelevant. It seems to be an inevitable outcome of a human system in operation. #
  • Now I would posit this… Is it possible for a human being to create a system that does not create traffic and taxes? #
