@mkramer perhaps they saw your tweets from earlier? RT “@NYMag Kellogg’s is trying to make cereal seem sexier. http://grb.st/18vQLci “
@amala1983 @mkramer Cereal needs sexy like a fluffernutter needs WD-40.
- Lex Friedman:
Oh geez just heard some of you haven’t ordered your Unprofessional shirts yet. http://unprofesh.com/shirts Two weeks only!
@lexfri If there’s call for branded slankets, you’re missing an opportunity to cross-market the Snuggie Sutra.

If the person is going to hire and oversee engineers, then that’s a CTO and that person needs to be an engineer http://www.politico.com/story/2013/05/rnc-tech-finalists-from-facebook-google-twitter-90855.html?hp=l3 …
@harper Thrilled to hear that they’re restricting their search to young, popular, and conservative. What could go wrong? #iraq @thorntonmh
- Glenn Fleishman:
“EVGENY MOROZOV explains…” didn’t get any further.
@GlennF I like some of his analysis. What turned you off?
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten He’s an epic troll with a few good points who engages in endless ad hominem attacks.
@GlennF Ah. Noted. Somehow I’ve missed most of that.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten Fascinating. He has a few top-line ideas, but every tweet, blog post, and most of his books are intellectually flawed and vile.
@GlennF That explains it. I’ve only ever seen brief interviews and pull-quotes. Don’t think I’ve ever read long-form by him.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten He tried to smear Clay Shirky as an agent of Libya due to one brief meeting in NY with a cultural party.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten Ah, yeah, like D___ W_____ he has some great ideas but you have to wade through oceans of merde
@GlennF Oh. Well, *that* sounds perfectly reasonable. </sarcasm>
@GlennF You’ve been spending too much time at Economist happy hours. Not sure who you mean.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten The name that must not be spoken lest he appear.
- Josh Centers:
@GlennF @jeffporten Listen to Glenn. His is the name that must not be named.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jcenters @jeffporten It’s like saying the name of the bear. OR SATAN.
@jcenters @glennf I’ve only had 60 oz of coffee and 3 shots of espresso today, so clearly the brain is not yet at maximum RPM.
- Jane McGonigal:
@GlennF @jeffporten that’s why I say EM :)
@avantgame @glennf Wonderful. My first at-tweet from Jane McGonigal, and it’s encrypted in #GlennCode.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@avantgame @jeffporten Ha ha ha. I have a few set of initials like. DW. RS.
@GlennF @avantgame Finally figured out DW after allowing my mind to wander the frontier for a while.

OK, I’m sorry guys but I actually look cute in Google Glass pic.twitter.com/PhtM4wdLve

@film_girl not as cute as this guy: http://twitpic.com/cnokfq

@reppep Thermo Scientific Particulate Monitor.
- Chris Pepper:
@jeffporten Black tall part really looks like a mic, but perhaps it’s a filter (thing underneath supports that). pic.twitter.com/d52ZO16H5P
@reppep I plugged the serial number on the box into Google, that’s what came up. Could be subterfuge.
- Chris Pepper:
@jeffporten No, I think it just looks like I imagined a ShotSpotter. http://www.shotspotter.com

@mkramer Let me guess: you’re regretting ever showing your mom how to activate an Emoji keyboard.
- David Chartier:
Maybe we need a tiered open-source license system for memes.
@chartier I once tried to fork a meme, and nearly got arrested.
- Jeff Carlson:
@schollem What the hell? Sounds like he took the image and then thought of anything to write to accompany it.
- Tom Negrino:
@jeffcarlson @schollem I note that jerky freelancing article never once mentions paying the whole cost of buying health insurance.
- Jeff Carlson:
@negrino @schollem In the comments someone asks, and he pays $200/mo due to the state he’s in. Fucker.
- Scholle McFarland:
@jeffcarlson @negrino That article is purely about showing his butt. I mused about how much traffic we’d get on MW with similar techniques.
- Tom Negrino:
@schollem @jeffcarlson As a freelancer, I feel it’s in my best interest to decline to speculate which MW editor’s butt would be apropos.
@negrino @schollem @jeffcarlson I’m just speculating here, but I assume the 80-hr workout routine allows @adamengst‘s butt to crack walnuts.
- Tom Negrino:
@jeffporten @schollem @jeffcarlson I am so not going there.
- Adam C. Engst:
@jeffporten @negrino @schollem @jeffcarlson While I cannot speculate on cracking, I will admit to planting walnut, pecan, and almond trees.
@adamengst @negrino @schollem @jeffcarlson In honor of the segue from butt jokes to trees, I rename Tu B’Shevat to Tushie B’vat.
- Josh Centers:
@jeffporten @negrino @schollem @jeffcarlson Just reading about @adamengst‘s workouts makes me tired and sore.
- Adam C. Engst:
@jcenters @jeffporten @negrino @schollem @jeffcarlson I just wish my workouts could do that too. Damn heel injury!
- Robert Guerra:
Am one person short of having 5000 followers on twitter. Wow! Many thanks everyone for following me!
@netfreedom I *do* have multiple accounts. Let me know if you want the bump to the round number. :-)
- Melody Kramer:
All of these folk seem somewhat one-dimensional: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtzKAAl5rDf8dG1jYUJiUW1zSVdRVG9hdkNhcHV0TkE&usp=sharing …
@mkramer Well, there you go. Just get elected governor. Two birds, one stone.

Hey #MacOutlook folks, what’s the best way to keystroke a “move to this folder, now” action? // @danothebeach @BodyofBreen @bynkii
@atlauren Been yrs since I used Office, but E’rage very AppleScriptable. Would write script, add to menu, add a keystroke.
- Peter Shankman:
BREAKING: Shots fired at IAH – Full ground stop on all flights. #travel
@petershankman Can’t remember the feed, but reports it was a suicide.
- Karen Naumann:
@jeffporten @petershankman Self-inflicted shooting at IAH.
Weird bug: shift-?-I to send link from Safari opens a plain text email with link, but leading set to about 0.8. shift-?-T twice to fix.
Lazytweet: how do I add an Instapaper Read Later bookmarklet to a Fluid app? Preferably with keystroke.
- Al Yankovic:
Whoa. Just found out about the “Citizen Kane” curse. Turns out virtually everyone involved with that movie is now DEAD. #Spooky
- Melody Kramer:
Does anyone know a kick ass digital archivist and/or community groups containing kick ass digital archivists?
@mkramer I know someone who does. Email me the details of what you need.
- Josh Centers:
Thanks to @hotdogsladies, whenever I send someone personal info, I can’t help but add (Don’t be creepy).
@jcenters I’m 43 and single. I feel like “don’t be creepy” is a flashing neon sign over half the things I do and say.
- Josh Centers:
@jeffporten That’s a common problem. I’d get a shirt that says,” Totally not a perv.”
@jcenters That T-shirt would be a self-unfulfilling prophecy on more levels than I care to count.
- Josh Centers:
@jeffporten OK, what if we add this to the back: “Unless that’s your thing. ;-)”
@jcenters Just reading that tweet increased my odds of permanent celibacy by 8.4%.
- Josh Centers:
@jeffporten Whatever you do, don’t click any of @jeffcarlson‘s Twitter links today.
@jcenters @jeffcarlson Why, what have I been missing?
- Jeff Carlson:
@jeffporten @jcenters Nudity! With Glass. Which was Josh’s idea in the first place.
@jeffcarlson @jcenters It figures that the first nude picture to land on my laptop in years is of a guy. Thanks loads, Carlson.
- Josh Centers:
@jeffcarlson @jeffporten Just to clarify, the Glass was my idea, not the nudity.
- Jeff Carlson:
@jcenters @jeffporten Until next week.
- Josh Centers:
@jeffcarlson @jeffporten I’ll wear a shirt in case of video meetings. I’ll just have to remember not to stand up.
