Gary Shapiro’s CEA glamour shot makes him look disturbingly like a Dexter target-of-the-week.

• David Brin:
  I’m at the American Library Association convention in Chi-town: June 30, for SciFiDay. http://ala13.ala.org 

@DavidBrin And Toronto Friday? You have a busy week.

• Rob Pegoraro:
  I have never heard so much math in a presentation as I’m hearing right now in this #CEWeek talk about 4K resolution.

@robpegoraro Hey, where are you? I’m just about to leave the mini-CES.

• Rob Pegoraro:
  @jeffporten 4th floor, at the left of the room. Green shirt, jeans. Say hi!

@robpegoraro White shirt, red carry on, three conference bags, hair like Einstein.

Seeing the World through Google-Colored Glasses http://tidbits.com/article/13878  (a CFP follow-up to my wearables article)

• Harry McCracken:
  Remember when we weren’t sure whether it was “Galaxy S4” or “Galaxy S 4”? Just got a non-Samsung pitch referring to the “Galaxy SIIII.”

@harrymccracken Marketing that leaks like a SIV.

• SIGINT 2013:
  Still not the final final schedule (we’ve got stuff in the pipeline you’ll like), but https://sigint.ccc.de/schedule/  lists enough reasons to come!

• Ralf Bendrath:
  Srsly @sigint, @CasparBowden in track 3 at end of day 3 ??? He deserves a keynote for his #FISA & #PRISM research! https://sigint.ccc.de/schedule 

@bendrath You’ve gotta start telling me about these conferences more than five days in advance.

• Melody Joy Kramer:
  Oatmeal and 73 emails.

@mkramer If you were eating eggs, would you receive a box of 73 Uggs?

You know you’re awake too damn early when no one tweets in the time it takes to catch up on Twitter.

• Andrew Laurence:
  @joekissell isn’t that often called frozen custard?

• Joe Kissell:
  @atlauren I think of custard as containing eggs (and usually vanilla too), but no eggs in ice cream or yogurt.

• Andrew Laurence:
  @joekissell basically, swap the flavor for the egg.

• Joe Kissell:
  @atlauren Interesting theory. I?m trying to understand how ?plain? seems to mean ?vanilla? when it comes to dairy treats?

• Andrew Laurence:
  @joekissell I’ll tell you this: as I age I find myself with greater appreciation for a bright, refreshing vanilla.

@atlauren @joekissell I predict that people under 20 will point and laugh at you if they hear you say “bright, refreshing vanilla”.

For anyone following #CFP2013, follow @normative; his live tweets are excellent & helpful, and I’m *in* the room.

• matt blaze:
  Delighted to be at #CFP2013. Less delighted by wifi network that blocks ssh and lack of power outlets.

@mattblaze Look for the black squares in the carpet. The outlets are hidden vertically beneath the wires.

• matt blaze:
  @jeffporten Thanks

@mattblaze I’m a UPenn alum, have a mental note to talk to you today/tomorrow.

• Robert Guerra:
  @mattblaze Can you VPN out an then connect to ssh ? #CFP2013 ?

@netfreedom Are you here?

• Robert Guerra:
  @jeffporten not at CFP. Have to be on a call, may come by around 1pm.

@netfreedom I’m around, probably arguing with the speakers, so I’m easy to find.

Is anyone from http://opensecrets.org  at #CFP2013?

• Jamie Moore:
  Anyone else in their early 20’s at #CFP2013 ??

@Jamie__Moore There are usually fellowships that bring college and grad students here. #CFP2013

@bendrath Jan just sent video greetings, said he’d try to come for delegation in autumn. Let me know if you’re coming.

• Jesse Spector:
  Good morning! I am asleep. Before I went to bed, I scheduled some tweets, which will go out every five minutes for a while. Thanks, robots!

@jessespector Good morning! I am Jeff’s MacBook, reading this for him so he won’t have to in three hours.

• Jesse Spector:
  @jeffporten Hmm.

Can someone tell me where we should go for #CFP2013 registration? Newseum doesn’t open ’til 9, schedule says 8.

• Garrett Cobarr:
  @jeffporten guess I am getting rude surprise, breakfast is so poised to start at 8. #CFP2013

• Lex Friedman:
  Here?s today?s reminder that Justice Alito is a lousy person. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/dana-milbank-justice-samuel-alitos-middle-school-antics/2013/06/24/534888f8-dd0d-11e2-9218-bc2ac7cd44e2_story.html?hpid=z2 ?

@lexfri Good thing he doesn’t have tenure, then. Oh, wait….
