Met up w @jesseminer and his son Ace. Always worthwhile (re-)seeing my museum @calacademy through the eyes of a child. #fb
@rikomatic Whenever I meet somebody named Ace, I’m reminded of the Bat-hound from the 1950s.
- Glenn Fleishman:
Just used car2go. Not bad but remarkable this far in there are so many rough points and friction in the process.
@GlennF Is that from the process, or from getting a middle-aged body into and out of that car?
- John Siracusa:
Eleanor Rigby is 2 minutes and 6 seconds long.
@siracusa Two minutes and six seconds of sheer, unremitting loneliness.
- Jacqui Cheng:
Ahh, being caressed on the arm by my seat-mate who is not Clint. Awesome flight: check.
@ejacqui Fly the friendly skies.
- Sharon Hill:
Why aren’t recipes copyrighted? People steal and share them all the time.
@IDoubtIt IIRC, was actually due to early publishing lobbying in 19th century.
- rob corddry:
If I ever go to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show in a theater I will dress as a middle finger that is giving the middle finger.
@robcorddry Don’t think you’re allowed to go as yourself.
- Alex Hillman:
Philly made a list of the 10 Most Exciting Cities in America, but the selection criteria is…curious. http://j.mp/18x5UtP
@alexknowshtml Risking heart disease from a 90% fat diet is very exciting.

Macworld/PCWorld/TechHive: Many employees, six names.

@lexfri My daughter’s softball team has three Katies and two Marissas.
- Jon Seff:
@jsnell @lexfri There were two Olivias at the dentist this morning. Out of two girls there.
- Peter Cohen:
@jonseff @jsnell @lexfri THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! #highlander
- Jon Seff:
@flargh @jsnell @lexfri You’re the second person on Twitter to make a Highlander reference to me in the last two days.
@jonseff @flargh @jsnell @lexfri I’m still rather skeptical of stabbing oneself in the chest as an aphrodisiac.
MT “@brianfelsen: O’Reilly ends TOC conference. I loved it” // Crap, was looking forward to the next NYC edition.
- Melody Kramer:
Permanent tattoo. Sorry. “@Robynkramer7: @mkramer I hope it’s the temporary kind that come in cracker jacks boxes :) xo”
- Melody Kramer:
.@robynkramer7 You’ll never see it. You’ll never know it exists. Forget I even mentioned it, Mom.
@mkramer @robynkramer7 You seem to misunderstand the tattoo-like permanence and regret of saying some things in front of Moms.
“@drshow: Mon. at 10/9c: How the fracking debate is plays at the grassroots level ” // Read fracking as adj., not n.
- Jamie Kilstein:
Is it weird that for a non violent hippy type nothing makes me want to be violent more than hippies? #eatingatyogaplace
@jamiekilstein Natural predator response to incautious prey.
- Lex Friedman:
I’m drinking the first energy drink of my life. A free sample of Celsius cola. I’m 82 percent certain that it will kill me.
@lexfri Tried my first 5-Hour Energy after a Macworld Expo giveaway. Now I carry them around. DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!
@erika_owens Philly is excellent training for Italy; learned enough hand gestures (even non-obscene) that I got along fine there.
@erika_owens I appear to be an idiot—can find volunteer and mailing list links for #TCamp13, but not registration.
- erika owens:
@jeffporten hmm, it’s possible online reg is closed, but I saw a tweet saying there will be limited in-person #Tcamp13 reg tomorrow.
@erika_owens If you’re a Grand High Poobah, please forward me along for one of those spots. Will be @ Happy Hour tonight.
- erika owens:
@jeffporten oh, yup, the original eventbrite has details: I’ll be around in the morning.
@erika_owens Ugh, the *morning* of registration? That’s verging into the main reason I’m self-employed….
@erika_owens Thanks for the link, though; I’ll nose around and see if I can buttonhole someone today.
Random meaningless coincidences: was assigned two 4-digit PINs at my hostel. One is one of my PINs; the other is an off-by-one for another.
@lexfri That’s how my Address Book looks re “Friedmans”; cousins, colleagues, Penn people.
- Keith Stattenfield:
Apparently I missed my 24th anniversary of working here at Apple 2 weeks ago. Next year I get my 5th sabbatical!Oh. Not since 1997?Darn.
@stattenf On the bright side, in 2 years you can celebrate your 2nd Apple Bar Mitzvah.
- erika owens:
@jeffporten the notes you requested and video if you want to see me glare at people, apparently:
@erika_owens Thanks for including the download link. My mifi is on a diet.
