  @GlennF I would dearly love to steal the Rick Steves joke about my U-feetsies being tired.

@dmoren @GlennF My favorite was explaining to the American family that we weren’t at the Uscita station

  Any story at the intersection of tech and medicine is the fucking singularity of stupid comments.

@Angry_Drunk “The fucking singularity” would be a great name for an extra small Fleshlight.

  An evening of programming and idea overload means this boy needs to GOTO $SLEEP.

@GlennF Sleep is generally considered harmful.

  A little weird that someone?s tweeting from Roger Ebert?s Twitter account, no?

@gregminton It’s Chaz, his wife.

@mkramer library well worth a visit.

It’s depressing news, but the number of comments about Ray Harryhausen demonstrates the quality of my Facebook friends and Twitter feed.

• Kirk McElhearn:
  Today, in Britain, is a holiday celebrating banks. Go figure. At least the weather is nice.

@mcelhearn In America, we call that Monday through Friday.

  It is absolutely not true that I have a collection of over 10,000 preserved snowflakes, all different. It’s far fewer than 10,000.

However, it is true that @glennf has a macro to tweet “you are a precious unique snowflake” to his entire collection.

• Kirk McElhearn:
  @jeffporten @glennf Does each snowflake have its own Twitter account?

@erika_owens curious about your using GitHub to host this. Blog post sometime?

• erika owens:
  @jeffporten hmm…sure. It was mostly to aid in collaboration and to worry less about formatting, ha.

@erika_owens Right, I just haven’t seen GitHub used for text collaboration before. Adv/disadvantages over wiki/GDocs?

@erika_owens I know some writers who use SVN for personal version tracking, but otherwise haven’t heard much about check-in for non-coding.

• erika owens:
  @jeffporten got the nudge from @veltman‘s kick ass learning lunches on github https://github.com/veltman/learninglunches …

@erika_owens Thanks, *another* thing you’ve put on my to-look-at to do list. You’re running the risk of becoming your own category.

• Noah Veltman:
  @erika_owens @jeffporten I chose github for a few reasons: 1. easy for others to contribute in a structured way (contra Google Docs)

• Noah Veltman:
  @erika_owens @jeffporten 2. Limits of Markdown force me to focus on content and not nitpick the presentation

• Noah Veltman:
  @erika_owens @jeffporten 3. it’s good general practice for Git workflow and Markdown syntax

• erika owens:
  @veltman @jeffporten Grateful you lead the way. Worrying about formatting drives me nuts and git time is quality time.

@erika_owens @veltman Nearly all my writing starts in Markdown these days. Agreed that formatting is generally a waste of time.

@erika_owens @veltman still wrapping my head around using Git as a collaborative documentation space.
