Google Now amusing fact: it’s decided I work at the Starbucks on Penn campus and automatically shows me traffic maps to there.

• Jason Snell:
  Ooops. Doctor Who season finale ships early to thousands of Blu-Ray purchasers.

@jsnell That damned TARDIS targeting circuit strikes again.

• Andrew Laurence:
  @angrymacbastard where is y’all’s content hosted? AMB episodes are the slowest downloading of all my subs.

@atlauren @angrymacbastard That’s not a bandwidth issue. That’s because if subject AMB to compression, they’ll go off like a fucking H-bomb.

• Andrew Laurence:
  @jeffporten @angrymacbastard safety first!

• Angry Mac Bastards:
  @atlauren @jeffporten Amazon S3 actually.

@mkramer Note: “networking” and “socializing” nearly synonymous in DC. Cultural thing.

• SciencePorn:
  Bacon affects the brain the same way as cocaine, overloading pleasure centers in the brain and requiring increasing amounts to be satisfied.

?@SciencePorn: Bacon affects brain like cocaine, overloading pleasure centers and requiring increasing amounts.? // As if that’s a problem.

• Josh Centers:
  So Marvel built their entire online comic service on Flash. What a scalable, long-term strategy.

@jcenters But… Flash is DC. Shouldn’t they have built it on Quicksilver?

• Josh Centers:
  @jeffporten Quicksilverlight

• Melody Joy Kramer:
  How do I meet cool and laid back people in DC who are interested in: biking, hiking, exploring weeknight free events and restaurants?

@mkramer Easiest networking town you’ll ever live in. http://Meetup.com  alone will fill your schedule.

@mkramer my favorite serendipitous meet-people hike: Melvin Hazen Trail –> Rock Creek –> Zoo. Follow with Starbucks, Tryst in Adams Morgan

@mkramer Also of note: movies on the Mall, Smithsonians, AFI Silver, anything at Politics & Prose. City Paper events section also good.

• Jon Seff:
  Uh, no thanks -> “The domain http://seffaflik.com  will go on sale shortly and we are sending emails to all with similar domains”

@jonseff No plans on a DIY cam site, then?

• Josh Centers:
  .@lexfri and @GlennF have to be two of the hardest working folks in tech journalism. Must be the TidBITS effect.

@jcenters @lexfri @GlennF I presume they’re both cyborgs. Or Fembots.

• Steven Frank:
  I?m sure it?s different iOS v Android too. Does it use search history? From app only? What if you disable history on the website? Questions!

@stevenf Pretty sure it tracks what it displays and long it takes you to dismiss to learn which cards are useful over time.

  We walked a lot today. (For the record, @lexfri: 30,000 steps.) pic.twitter.com/dyCp0SiorO

@settern @lexfri When in Rome, do as the “roamin'”s do.
