• Simple isn't /always/ better, no, but … see music/video > http://www.milosjanata.com < … turned a wok cover into a steel drum?! # DIY #
• @ CoachChic 3:30 left in the 2nd … we having fun yet? ;-) cheers in reply to CoachChic #
• Commentator with 1:45 left in the 2nd: "Ohhhh, /everything/ is happening!" huh huh We gonna see a penalty shot? # MTL #BOS cc: @ CoachChic #
• Only sure way to beat # BOS is 4 straight. Anything else is too much like a crap-shoot. # MTL #
• @ CoachChic You saw the 3rd? Classic nail-biter. (Why's Gill so slow covering Price's left post?! Again he let someone walks out fm behind.) in reply to CoachChic #
• Burrows' goal from Kessler was really, really, really pretty. # VAN #NHL #
• @ RevDannyFisher heh … refreshing, that style, isn't it. "We don't put our hands on a hot stove because we've learned burns hurt." in reply to RevDannyFisher #
• @ All_Habs Not suspension, no. I think he cudda really leaned into it, and he didn't. And he didn't leave his feet. in reply to All_Habs #
• @ CoachChic Mmm *me acts coy* Twice 5 on 3? (Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.) Otherwise? It was coin flip. (1st goal waved off!) in reply to CoachChic #
• @ CoachChic p.s. I know Gill ain't a speed merchant, but he knows it too. He's usually a tad more situational / strategic. in reply to CoachChic #
• From Sarah Palin to Donald Trump … now, really, tell me that GOP crackers aren't brain damaged. "Birthers" = "Foil Helmet Nutbars". #
• Donald Trump: "Obama spent millions of dollars on lawyers". Therefor PotUS has spent millions on the birther issue. Brain-damaged. #
• @ _karmadorje Samsara generally, nae? I'm not out here for my own health. ;-) "Boring" I could cope with. But it's sub-standard functionally! in reply to _karmadorje #
• @ CoachChic Remember Robinson? I loved watching Big Bird, even after he'd slowed down: he just got smahtah! cheers in reply to CoachChic #
• # CultureWars #Hegemony – No idea what I'm talking about? How's this: anyone who doesn't subscribe to "attention economy" loses. # borg #
• @ CoachChic Sorry Coach you lost me. 4 big D? (As a wee kid I'd fall asleep to H' Night in Canada every Sat. Gump was my hero. No kidding.) in reply to CoachChic #
• # NHL – No fair … I love cheering Chicago. But dang, I want to see Vancouver advance! #
• @ CoachChic Oh duh me, yes, 4D. *cough* Full name here is Bernard Dominic Joseph Edmond Tremblay. So you can guess who's name I'd add. ;-p in reply to CoachChic #
• Twitter buddy got me flashing back … I just liked this page on the Habs' site > http://bit.ly/dHK9wh < # NHL cc: @ CoachChic #
• @ CoachChic 'nite Coach. Night JC. ;p in reply to CoachChic #
• # NHL – Kesler got assist on what may be the game-winner … but how did he not clinch the game just now?! # VAN #NHL #
• @ CoachChic 'nite Coach. And I'm guessing the man missing from your 4 is my long-lost cousin, JC Tremblay. ^5 in reply to CoachChic #
• Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrgh! # VAN #CHI #
• Is that the story here? That offensive-end penalty to Burrows … # VAN is self-destructive? # CHI #NHL #
• # VAN #CHI – Most dramatic game of the playoffs to date for me. # NHL #
• heh 5 seconds later: SCOOOOOOOOORE! # VAN #
• I don't think "good democrats" listen a lot more than Donald Trump does. Thing is: Trump is unapologetic, so GOP crackers like him for that #
• @ AC360 – Google "framing" and do the reading. Crackers want a cracker to stand tall and talk the talk. Nothing more. # BrainDamage #
• @ craigthomler I'm been pushing "participatory deliberation" since 1976. "Innovation" is yet.another yuppie personality game. # matrix #borg in reply to craigthomler #
• The truthful basis of reactionary politics isn't "fun". So yuppies never want to deal with it. Never. (Also: they're self-serving sell-outs) #
• Trump describes bankruptcy of his casinos as "debt reduction"; from well over a billion to barely 500 million. "Debt reduction"; who paid?! #
• @ RBReich NB: Harper's approval rating in Conservative base is 90%. I say again: 90%. It's the age-old culture war: rationality VS jingoism. in reply to RBReich #
• Hey kidz? Something to remember: Socrates was executed too. Not just Christ. And Gandhi was assassinated too, not just JFK and MLK. &tc &tc #
• I've been an army of 1 so many years (decades) because my cohort is a bunch of feckless wusses. Cynical, pessimistic narcissistic wusses. #
• Why is FB as good as we've got? Because when our bunch set up the Global Indymedia Network (a decade ago) you yuppie types ignored it. # borg #
• @ uncleweed I can understand his sentiment but I have to wonder: why would you RT that? I mean … yippee, some Van fans are crackers? in reply to uncleweed #
• @ uncleweed Just read your tweet-stream. 0% hockey; lots of hate. I guess is why I haven't been to van in 30yrs. yick. in reply to uncleweed #
• You can't judge a person by appearance. Is why "attention economy" is so profoundly noxious. Judge a person by what they profess in action. #
• @ FINALLEVEL Looking forward to the show. And great hearing you on Q! peace in reply to FINALLEVEL #
• @ cockpiteu I plan on being more active than just "stay tuned". :-) in reply to cockpiteu #
• # NewToMe "Campaign for a Stronger Democracy" @ strongdemocracy > http://bit.ly/lHUdpw < # EGov #Gov2 #
• Ever notice that FB email notifications of messages look like they were created in 1997? I mean to say /badly/ created. What a blechk mess! #
• For me the point remains: what to do about irrationality? How to foster a community of rational agents?

• Problem I see is that while some of us are straining to drain the swamp "social media" is flooded w/chattering about alligators. #

• Theory: folk actually /do/ think about things, even when they don't respond. But they get distracted by popcorn, and the thought gets lost. #

• @ dachoste "Wrath free of animosity" … once was on the list of virtues. ;-p cheers –ben p.s. C'mon bro', get a blog / homepage / something in reply to dachoste #
• @ joshstempel Sorry Josh, just now saw your @ and left you off CC for this: http://bit.ly/iQnnG3 < p.s. brand new: http://bit.ly/m4gOZ6 < in reply to joshstempel #
• # OverHeard – A way to stimulate the experience of joy? "Pleasurable interruption of expectation" … wow. #
• @ drgrist Do we want media to filter against foil-helmet thinking? First they come for the nut cases, then the flakes, then for me. in reply to drgrist #
• Dear @ Amazon – I get one set of recommendations on .ca, and quite another on .com. Nice option, but ATM this is error. p.s. thanks for 5Gig! #

• @ ChrisLaBossiere Intermediating producer|consumer; great. Intermediating innovator|management? Still dark ages i.e. medieval dynamics. in reply to ChrisLaBossiere #
• # CultureWars – I mean it: unless you've positioned/equipped yourselves as fully fledged free-lances, you're subject to loyalty tests. # GTD #
• Anyone's money is good but when it comes to cred not all life experience is equal i.e. valuation is culture-bound. # DominantParadigm #GTD #
• @ WindSector Thanks for that. But IMNSHO fighting separate battles = "divide and be conquered". cc: @ drgrist @chrismooney_ @ joshstempel in reply to WindSector #
• "Strategy w/o tactic: slow road to victory; tactic w/o strategy: fast lane to calamity." cc @ WindSector @drgrist @ chrismooney_ @joshstempel #
• @ WindSector Meh, no comment function? I wanted to add a link to the AJ Hoffman interview I posted. HeyHo in reply to WindSector #
• @ WindSector Just so. Yet "battles" must be in-formed by dynamics of the whole war. Goal fixation is a real cognitive phenomenon. # ArtOfWar in reply to WindSector #
• Trust me, so long as there isn't true public discourse over issues of public policy, cynical wackos like Trump will en-thrall *cough* some. #

• @ ChrisLaBossiere Hey, I'll repeat it: good sync means that interrupt requests (geek software term) are handled gracefully. I.e. no sweat! in reply to ChrisLaBossiere #
• @ ChrisLaBossiere FWIW I'm really not talking about some semiotic crap. see http://bit.ly/mPqurh < (Straight talk loses me Followers! *G*) in reply to ChrisLaBossiere #
• # CultureWars – In an ocean of glib, smug, superficial, vapid, false, glad-handing bilge, anything different is easily taken as rude/crude. #
• # Innovation – It's easy to come up with applications of some new tech. But new tech comes from deep appreciation at a strategic level. # GTD #

• # CultureWars – The existential manifests, inexorably. If you make a good living commenting or producing popcorn, then … excuse me, but … #
• @ firefox I'm all over it. BTW how's 4 coming along? (3.6.16 has been pretty reliable. I appreciate that.) in reply to firefox #
• @ firefox Sorry, I mis-read. Well no, actually: you pitched Panorama as though it was a plugin. cheers p.s. I'm allergic to new V. FF3's fine in reply to firefox #

• We do hard-rock mining to get gold ore. Do we do the same with # AcademicPublishing Oh … gee … wonder why. (We under-value thought.) #
• I liked working in an R&D environment. We could kick back knowing that everyone had laser-like concentration operating. Maybe I got spoiled? #

• @ znmeb Gadzooks. And yet … can we be surprised? IRC – attention + popcorn = Twitter. #
• @ CoachChic You get Don Cherry? He just said about Camilari on 1st goal what I was saying about Gill: poor positioning. Unbelievable. in reply to CoachChic #
