  Data Visualization Works Best When We’re Happy http://lnkd.in/zgJ_a2 

@dsnestle This is why I print all of my memos on THC-infused water-soluble paper.

Dreamt new iPod/iPad were elastic, could be compressed to 1-inch square. The UI of the “strip” 7×1 display was pretty cool.

• Quinn Norton:
  Now if Jonah Lehrer wrote a book on the history of fraudulent science, I’d by that. RT @kjhealy: Burn, burn, burn. http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2013/06/04/jonah_lehrer_new_book_about_love_being_shopped_by_wylie_agency_publishing.html ?

@quinnnorton @kjhealy I enjoyed Lehrer’s work. What’s the statute of limitations before he’s allowed to try again?

Unclear how it’s possible that Whedon made a Shakespeare for this Friday and I’m just now hearing about it. http://www.hitfix.com/movies/much-ado-about-nothing-2 ?

@chartier Either that, or you’ve just proven that iMessages are based on quantum tunneling.

@jsnell What’s the heuristic for the character order? There must be one.

• Jesse Spector:
  So long as we agree peanut butter M&M’s are trash. RT @Lana: pretzel M&M’s are good but they will never be superior to peanut M&M’s.

@jessespector Please feel free to place your peanut butter M&Ms in a separate wastebasket, then dispose by sending to me. Philistine.

• Jesse Spector:
  Shout out to the Terminal 2 @McDonalds crew that tossed an extra hash brown in my bag after screwing up my order at first!

@jessespector That is somehow simultaneously awesome and a massive waste of good karma.

• Jesse Spector:
  @jeffporten I’ll take it.

@jessespector They are pretty fucking yummy.

• Jesse Spector:
  @jeffporten Possibly the best thing they serve. Definitely in the conversation.

• Peter Cohen:
  The 17yo just went off to high school for the last time. Gave his bus driver some nice potted mums and a thank you card.

@flargh So, how old are *you* feeling right now?

• Jesse Spector:
  Guy on airport shuttle talking about the F train and I find myself wistful for home. When will I get back to NYC? Who knows?

@jessespector What makes you wistful about the F train? Is it open bar or something?

• Telecomix:
  The CNN iReports are interesting, but it’s annoying that CNN lend their name to completely unverified info…

@telecomix @harper What amazes me is that I’ve been contacted by people calling themselves “CNN iReporters”, and CNN doesn’t stomp on them.

• Melody Joy Kramer:
  If a relationship were measured in terms of emails received, banana republic and I would be getting married next week.

@mkramer and most of the country would be married to Barack and Michelle.

• Jeff Jarvis:
  Garg. World Newspaper Congress WiFi utterly borked.

@jeffjarvis I’m surprised you don’t carry a tether or three.

• Jeff Jarvis:
  @jeffporten not when I’m halfway around the world

@jeffjarvis Give me a few minutes to look up your conference?I’ll see if I can find temp accounts where you are.

@jeffjarvis Okay, I have friends in Bangkok… will check with them and tweet at you if I can find a short-term fix.

  If a medical cure looks too good to be true, it probably is http://flip.it/JcXhU 

• Tom Negrino:
  @mcelhearn Very interesting piece; I especially appreciated the link to the ?Acupuncture is a theatrical placebo? article.

• Andrew Laurence:
  @negrino @mcelhearn a friend uses and loves it. Fully aware that it’s likely placebo woo woo, but apparently it’s woo enough.

@negrino @mcelhearn Thumbs up, @dori.

@atlauren @negrino @mcelhearn Current research: acupuncture applied to random body points as effective as “real” thing.

@atlauren @negrino @mcelhearn We can’t tell difference between needles and toothpicks, so go with a practitioner who doesn’t break the skin.

@atlauren @negrino @mcelhearn Minimizes infection risk for same placebo benefit.

• Andrew Laurence:
  @jeffporten I think you’re looking for @josswhedon .

@atlauren The other account is a fan site of some kind. Not sure who they are, but they have some fun links.

• Melody Joy Kramer:
  Just wrote an obit on a train. Ugh.

@mkramer There are good places to write obits?
