• Peter Cohen:
  How many cups of tea can I consume in a single day before I need to admit that I have a problem?

@flargh Until your next prostate exam reveals the East India Tea Company logo.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  Just about six years ago, my younger son, Rex, was born. I remember his birth vividly. One of the best days of my life—and his!

• Nick Barnard:
  @GlennF as a former baby myself I dispute that my birthday was a great day. It was nice and warm in there and I got involuntarily evicted.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  ~@ncbarnard Nurse said of my #1, a long birth, “He’s just renting, but he thinks he *owns* the place.”

@GlennF @ncbarnard I was preemie, so I guess I received one hell of an eviction notice.

I was really unaware how much the Washington Monument, while under construction, resembles an albino horse penis.

.@tonyaengst will just love this CEA session title: “Techlicious Summit: How to Engage Women Consumers”. Aren’t they just precious?

• David Chartier:
  Keep hearing Facebook absolutely needs a mobile OS, but never an explanation why. Do advertisers really care about… my brightness setting?

@chartier my theory: important because Facebook is the new AOL circa 1997. A safer Internet subset. I’m percolating a blog post on this.

• Roger Ebert:
  CHAZ HERE: Roger gave me instructions to tweet for him. I wonder if he knew something we didn’t know. (Tears)

@ebertchicago It is a pleasure to see him back in my Twitter feed. Please keep it up, and my condolences for your (and our) loss.

  My weather app is saying ‘Light Rain’ wind up to 16MPH, the new High Wind Weather Advisory is saying wind up to 59MPH, small difference.

@nonprofit_tech if you’re using Dark Sky, it’s predicting for your immediate vicinity. Alerts cover more territory.

• Josh Centers:
  So now that the mainstream media knows about Bitcoin, how long until it’s outlawed?

@jcenters Outlawed is probably impossible. But a rigorous attempt to collect sales tax on transactions could screw things up.

• Josh Centers:
  @jeffporten They don’t even have to do that. Just ban US Bitcoin transactions, citing terrorism and drug trade. Wouldn’t be far off.

@jcenters I doubt they can ban Bitcoins. It interferes too much with contract law, since the transaction is barter for consideration.

  The office is chaos as @EFF packs to move to 815 Eddy Street. http://img.ly/u3xN 

@marciahofmann if you’re moving to an Eddy, shouldn’t the metaphor be “whirlpool”? <rimshot>

  Hmm, battle of wits between Kirk Cameron and Stephen Hawking. Hope the bill also features Jon Stewart vs Kobe Bryant dunking matchup.

  one non-political observation about @SenRandPaul at @HowardU — what’s up with the no air conditioning?

@jaketapper Back at UPenn, HVAC decisions were campus-wide and made by physical plant.

• Shawn King:
  Piper Jaffray says 11% of teens “don’t care” what OS their next phone has. Obviously those are the emo kids. http://sulia.com/my_thoughts/4e4c14fb-0eab-4b2b-8686-635cb640e1cf/?source=twitter …

@ShawnKing …and 95% of that 11% think that “it doesn’t matter, so long as it’s an iPhone”, because they don’t know shit about mobile OS.

• Shawn King:
  @jeffporten Well…to be fair…they ARE teenagers… :)

• Scott McNulty:
  I have to wait 3 days before I can turn on two factor auth for my Apple ID. I’m not the only one who thinks that is bizarre, right?

• John P. Speno:
  @blankbaby Is it because Apple forced you to update your password in order to turn on 2-factor auth? Me too.

• Scott McNulty:
  @speno No, I didn’t update my password. I clicked “enable 2 factor” and it said, “Thanks! Come back in 3 days to really do it.”

@blankbaby @speno Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re trying to throttle the rollout so they can keep up with login issues.

• Scott McNulty:
  @jeffporten @speno That would be fine, though the copy says, “For security reasons you have to wait 3 days.” WTF?

@blankbaby @speno Maybe trying to prevent people switching accounts to 2-factor as a lockout attack? Otherwise stumped.

“@hodgman: Should I buy Jay-Z’s share of the Nets? I’m serious.” // @jessespector sounds like a fun story to write.

  @jeffporten It’s interesting, but I don’t know what I would write!

@jessespector get the man on the phone, and I suspect the hook becomes obvious after a few minutes.
