    • Has technorati staff lost their mind? I find myself subscribed to a list, getting ReplyAll crap … for the sake of a survey. *cough cough* #
    • @technorati 1) your survey is wey long 2) how come no tweets in 3 months?! #
    • Transcribing pod-casts … hours of touch-typing … reminds me of practicing pool … sustained focus on something tedious. #
    • I find I can no longer manage to wrench my psyche around to rationalize drinking the salt-water of greed and ambition. #freak #failure #

    • @wilshipley My best buddy (double-degreed radio producer) took every chance to remind that we just do notRPTnot avoid forseeable crisis. #
    • @cdent I din’know you were a climber! My life plan is all about hunkering down within miles of Mt. Robson (near Jasper). #
    • @spiver If I was your retreat liaison you’d be getting a spanking! *grin* /_Mangalam_/ #
    • @technosailor “WP groove”; color me green w/envy. You sub’d to [WP-Pro]? This war-story’s worth a read. > http://snipurl.com/37f8h < #
    • Gawd, I’m so warped: I just came up w/”If it doesn’t matter then it isn’t important” … no wonder folk find me hard to get along with. #
    • @technosailor *shrug* I dunno; just dig in and throw it over my shoulder again and again; glad you’re hooked up again. #
    • If I was an #oligarch I’d definitely perpetuate the status quo; how many young bucks have ever had the slightest team experience? #matrix #
    • My cross: I really, /really/ cannot sympathized with the mangled spirit of those who suckled at the breast of narcissism. No empathy. #
    • @dotBen writes “Watching America’s got talent, MySpace edition”; me? I watched http://www.pbs.org/wnet/wideangle *No empathy. None.* #

    • Summer thunderstorm c/w gravel-sized hail … no tornado warning. I sure hope the crops aren’t being beaten down. #
    • @gapingvoid Sounds reactionary to me, even when I grant your point. Perhaps the view from the A-list box is rosier? #
    • I think VM/cloud is quantum; folk can BS even about threading, but VM? Know/Don’t may serve to separate sheep from goats. #
    • “De-Risking Your Business Model: A How To Guide” > http://tinyurl.com/6jruqu < gets _1_ comment. /me trouts @gapingvoid #
    • @gapingvoid Maybe a few folk still dare speak their minds, despite the oligarchs’ minions. /me trouts @1938media #
    • Coincidence: watching Harry Potter on TV (surprisingly well done!) and I notice the crypto-fascist ghouls rattling their chains. Full moon? #
    • @kvwong In the days of chemical photography (Tri-X pushed 3 stops; Microdol was key!) I used Beethoven … drama w/o break-beat. #
    • I’m not Ford; it isn’t history that urges me to reach for my gun. But my gawd, the A-list’s contemptuous impunity near justifies napalm. #
    • @gapingvoid Betcha I know less! heh But I was web-logging in ‘95. (I re-met John December’s CMCMag coupla days ago.) I just do. *shrug* #
    • @1938media I’ll skip the pot/kettle gambit: what seems like “arrogance” is most often lack of realistic self-esteem grabbing for some sun. #
    • Gawd … a meeting of true minds that makes snuff-films seem merely indelicate. *time for more Sterling Ale* #
    • Hint: with the guys were in the living room swinging their pricks around I was in the kitchen doing the mix and meeting folk with a brain. #
    • Hint2: when nasty/jaded yuppies’ kidz frame the discourse … I’ll be in the kitchen, doing the mix … waiting for folk with a brain. #
    • #cat/bag/out Grok HoloDeck? Ok … wrap your neurons around this: CogniChat. c) bdt 2008 (Hone-in on _glasperlenspiel_.) #
    • “Elite is a rejection of mediocrity”.” Ah-lha; true aristocracy is understanding, tolerant. _Noblesse oblige_. #borg #matrix #oligarchs #
    • @kvwong I developed / printed my last roll of film a long time ago … early 90s. Not sure why, but just do snapshots now. #
    • Valuation of IP: if I put a method that saves engineers 5 hrs/wk and improves the product, how to $$ that?> http://snipurl.com/36ljm < #
    • Fully 12yrs later, precious little progress > http://snipurl.com/36lz1 < “Netizens’ Netbook” [columbia_edu] #

    • @kentbrew Then I guess I was using your software! (mid-80s, taught my kids with it … eldest daughter is webmaster/journalist!) #
    • I like to see my fave wide-receiver going up / pulling it down. Don’t like? Him going helmet/helmet and leaving on backboard by ambulance. #
    • Nice thing about elemental games like http://globalconflict.org is when you f* up, there’s no BS soap-opera to hide behind. You f’d up _._ #
    • re: Pausch: when doom is on the horizon /most/ manifest sterling qualities. It’s opportunistic / ambitious yuppies who pox the republic. #

    • Old monk confronts ronin w/”You’re under arrest”. Ronin halves the monk at the waist. Falling, monk sez, “But you are still under arrest.” #
    • @mndoci Interesting. I’d include in “information” poetic/metaphorical. I can’t distinguish data from fact. (Correct or wrong, 1 is 1.) #
    • Regardless of exist or not: number of sasquaches observed: precisely 0. #
    • @mndoci Ah! I wouldn’t contend at all against the 2nd part. But I will argue that a bit / datum is a fact. Else? The Savage God. #
    • When (if?) we insist that information be evidence-based, (then) fascism will begin to draw its last gasp. #
    • @danja BTW my @gapingvoid about “crows”: me teasing him re “Wisdom of …” typo. (Of course he didn’t reply; 2 degrees of separation only) #

    • @mndoci I did cog-psych to nail taxonomy / ontology … ended up reverting to Karma Kagyu prasangika shen.tong. Tashi Delek! #
    • Nice to find I haven’t been merely paranoid / deluded regarding confustication about facticity. “We’re lost. Good news? We know it!” #
    • *Epilogue* Long ago, reading “Being and Time”, I felt I’d been conned. Today I found “Dasein for Dummies” > http://snipurl.com/34jo9 < #
    • Gnarly: “having to reject the yahoo toolbar every time java updates itself” #
    • @TechCrunch *take 2″ EMail shutdown?! 2nd read of headline req’d: I use @netscape.net so I care! (”EMail from AOL” clearer) #
    • “Another night in the CFL”. w/12 seconds to go, and a chance at fieldgoal to tie, Dinwoodie throws 35 yards for the major and a win. Ace. #
    • Federer, down yesterday; Rodick, down today. Nadal … what can a person say?! #
    • Let’s say Nadal is a force of nature. ATM Andreev is fighting him off, so then what is Andreev?! #
    • Drunk (home-baked ale) I watch tennis. What catches my eye? Richard Sennett and “Corrosion of Charater” > http://snipurl.com/34n7a < #
    • Ok … Nadal is a force of nature, and Andreev did not give way; Andreev was beaten. #
    • @xtof_fr Peut-être vous rêver de _.do_ … le fait de faire. (Ecrire du Zen en Francais?! oof … ca me demande un peut plus d’bierre!) #
    • I can’t think of a single thing that matters. After 35 years with “participatory deliberation” I’m just about ready to be a wanker. #
    • Truth : a person can talk Business Process Modelling til the cows come home w/o knowing his ass from his elbow. It’s that sort of age. #
    • Dissected a 144KB email newsletter … 16KB of body text and markup, the rest is CSS. Ghastly. #
    • #NewToMe … reading through http://typo3.org/documentation “a very huge and capable system, it cannot be fully learned in a week!” #
    • @kentbrew Was TypeInvaders ported to the C=64? I seem to remember it. #
    • http://my.yahoo.com/ is quite nice … I can’t recall why I invested time in NetVibes but not there. #

    • In a mahasiddha moment of whimsy I wielded my vajra; insight? Most folk are paid to stem innovation; the clever ones do it w/false lights #
    • @mndoci I’m gonna stick my neck out and @samlawrence … when data don’t mean “facts” then we’re f*cked. There’s gotta be at least 1 pony. #
    • When I count the number of unicorns I’ve seen I come up with 0 … that’s a datum. But it’s ontic, not semantic. #
    • “Most folk are paid to stem innovation”; cuz they lean on one half of their taxonomy to blow and the other half when they suck. #sit.fence #
    • @mndoci w/respect: Why/how does “Is this good or bad” come into the declaration that “Xyz” is a fact? It’s not a moral / ethical question. #
    • “Because I am a good and decent person I observe the laws of gravity; that I do so evidences that I am good &tc &tc.” hi-falutin’ non-sense #
