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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

Nice to find I haven’t been merely paranoid / deluded regarding confustication about facticity. “We’re lost. Good news? We know it!”

“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?!

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
