  • “Buzz” – The sound of A-list personalities profiting from the work of others. #
  • Persistance paid off! I just came up with a lovely / elegant / simple way of protecting IP: first refusal … a pre-emptive strike! #
  • @12stepbuddhist I still can’t get used to offering w/o real saffron … it feels ersatz. #
  • Let’s say the corporate system has some validity. Who reaps the biggest rewards? I declare “arbitrary”; psychopaths accumulate wealth/power. #
  • @om “Who knows only his side of the issue knows little of that.” –David Hume (Yes, I really am a bear on “discourse”.) #
  • @adamclyde … a variation on “long tail”? Yammer, if agile / still vibrant, taking wing on some dynamic? (BTW: has GWave jumped the shark?) #
  • Alan Silberberg’s “So, What is Gov 2.0?”" on HuffPost > http://bit.ly/90bo7K < Comments? 0 … No surprise to me, but still … #Gov20 #
  • Council of State Govts (3 lvls) > http://bit.ly/cPAzsk < Sounds sensible to me! @CSGovts #Gov20 #OpenYEG #

  • Just now on TCM, Throne of Blood > http://bit.ly/Bv1bx < Later? 2 more Kurosawa! (My X and I had planned a festival of his works.) #
  • “The veil”? 1) women are weak, 2) men are pigs, and 3) anyone not *fill in here* are barbarians. It’s designed to cause conflict. It works! #
  • “Documentary” of Attila the Hun reinforces confound of psychopath/sociopath. And the real psychopaths slip deeper into shadow. #matrix #
  • Did I say Sharia was meant to divide and cause conflict? I slipped; I surely meant GOP. *Gawd they’re hateful!* #
  • Bush, Rove, Cheney, Pinochet, and the rest of the GOP: You are WITH US or you are AGAINST US. Pathetic human beings. #
  • Insanity 101: 1st, fantasize a reality; 2nd, conjure up an enemy; 3rd find a scape-goat. Iran, Taliban, GOP … cookier-cutter. #
  • “Brain” is much like CPU; if it encounters NOP then non-maskable IRQ to fill in the blank. So “don’t understand” => “You’re barbarian!” #

  • Impressive? Useful? http://bit.ly/1sp601 < “Assault; no narrative” yaa, from a year ago! Click restaurant? No active link in info. *Duhhh!* #
  • My concern: why will anyone ever bother with the last 20%? It’s so hard! And social benefit / $$ comes from the first 80%. Much easier! #
  • @ZoomJer CMC = Computer Mediated Communications. Almost as antique as “cognitive ergonomics”. ;-p #

  • #EA p.s. Since I ran BC a few minutes ago my PC is running like a ‘486. You make me feel dirty. WTF. #
  • Dateline Mexico Kidnapping – Self-interest? You think community paid health and schools and police and fire is “socialist”. #BrainDamage #
  • Look away, in the school yard, as a child, from the bully. Look away, in university, from the cheat. Look away, and aid, and abet. #lamerz #
  • @AdamBoettiger Ummm … having “surrendered” my attention, I’m to surrender my autonomy to regain it? I have admired you. Fool, I. #crack #
  • @AdamBoettiger p.s. telling, that the post you pointed to allows no comments. So, what do you do for a living? *KWATZ!* Zen my fucking ass. #
  • Every day, in every way, you aid and abet psychopaths … more than you can know. Or not. It’s yours to choose. Or obfuscate. *Zen?! F you!* #
  • “Thanks” to
    @AdamBoettiger: ZenHabits posts “be an Exclusive Advertiser”, noting “I’m not taking guest posts at the moment”. Web -2.0 #
  • Decades ago I said that my cohort (yuppies) had killed Zen. Tonight, on “ZenHabits” I read “I don’t do email. I mean, I do have a life.” :Z #
  • @zen_habits – Thank you: I’ll be 56 in May; I was “on the bus” in ‘64; I was airborne-trained infantry, and SigInt. You’re truly malign. #
  • Sez @zen_habits “I don’t do email. I mean, I do have a life” “I’m not taking guest posts at the moment” and “be an Exclusive Advertiser” … #
  • @d_rivera I’d suggest don’t bother with a “spammers list”. TBird’s Bayes does fine on EMail. Why would I bother keeping a list here? cheers #
  • @DonRiep They did whott? *blink* Someone say something to them about Vancouver? Diggin’ pucks out of corners? heh #
  • Have you bothered to take 1 moment pondering cruelty? Generosity? Kindness? You’d stand, you know … you’d stand on your own if you had. #
  • Dawkins cites West Wing and ER. Ok. Not House? *shrug* And then Obama. Not Gorbachev? Not Allende? Not Nyerere? #wuss #
  • “Had an amazing evening at the Realtors Awards” *gone* #
  • “Pure concept car” quips CasinoTank. *gone* #

  • “What happens after you die?” … holy shit, bat-person … what happens /after you act/?! Is the entire gnooshere benighted? #
  • Sully. Yaa, Sully. The guy who didn’t come up with a clehvur sophistic bullshit line for how dramatically he fucked up. #yuppies #twits #

  • “Haiti: A New U.S. Occupation Disguised as Disaster Relief?” > http://bit.ly/cBFCSI < Platitudes are more “fun”, I know. I know … I know. #
  • Hey, wait a minute! Cops and fire-fighters are publically funded. And they call themselves a brotherhood. So they’re gay socialists, right? #
  • Not quite koan, but … if you take material success off the list, what marks a life well lived?Now strike “accomplishments”; what remains? #
  • How sad: Gho.st is shutting down. Really, sad. “Sorry, the public Ghost service is closing March 15″ > http://bit.ly/dlEGWM #
  • If you understand what is meaningful to me, and why, thenI’m at a disadvantage? That’s the death of civil discourse. #politics #borg #
  • @sibob It seems someone is really driving Bing Maps. I bet someone at google is paying attention. Or better be! #
  • @GuyKawasaki That was soooo funny. I muttered to myself, “Iran … Iraq … whatevuh” huh huh. Aloha nui loa! #
  • Says “I want to help astronomers w/observations” is analog to my work with #civics. Not “optics”, not statistics. Too broad! /Instruments/. #
  • #apps4army – My plan for DSS: ground discourse _qua_ discourse using propositional decomposition and syllogistic analysis. @ArmyCIOG6 #
  • @mhil1 In my experience mil apps deal with “restricted case” … effects-based, yes? My notion of #Gov20 includes the subjective narrative. #
  • Nice support system, @twitter. I’ve been through 12+ pages. /How do I start a ticket?!/ *meh* > http://bit.ly/7fp9rI < #
  • Why do so many people so often start so many of their sentences with, “Well …” It’s epidemic! #BrainFart #
