So, did the internet spend all night wrongly accusing a Brown University student as 2nd Watertown suspect?
@saramayhew just the last four hours or so.

@sethmnookin @davidgrann @moorehn that pic was retweeted by the Miami Herald. Will check it for EXIF data.
- John Siracusa:
Ill-advised 5am run to and from Logan airport successfully completed (albeit via a circuitous route).
@siracusa the only possible reason you should do that today is if Boeing is giving you a 747.
- Quinn Norton:
Idly wondering how much Russia was supporting the Syrian regime to drain the Islamists out of Chechnya this whole time.
@quinnnorton Boston is historically on the road to Damascus.
- Quinn Norton:
@jeffporten nothing to do with Boston.
@quinnnorton Sorry, I was half asleep when I tweeted at you. Was meant as a joke.
- Quinn Norton:
@jeffporten ah, was dealing with some pretty crazy statements at the time.

@dcjill See, I would take that as a reason to get the hell away from my window.
- Jill Greenberg:
@jeffporten yes, that would be the rational choice.
- Jill Greenberg:
TV makes me more anxious. *Shut off TV* Twitter makes me want to turn on TV. *Turn on TV* Vicious cycle.
@dcjill Try turning on the BBC. Or PBS.
- Jill Greenberg:
@jeffporten Maybe NPR might help? middle ground?
@dcjill NPR always helps. @nprscottsimon kept me sane post-9/11.
- Jill Greenberg:
@jeffporten I find them so soothing, generally.
- Jamie Kilstein:
Many confused white people not knowing where to invade right now.
- Linda Holmes:
Endless speculation always feels like a quest for, ironically, comfort about how the world works. I think comfort will be elusive.
. @nprmonkeysee I think the speculation is more about filling airtime, and our cultural need to all be pundits in real life.
- Linda Holmes:
@jeffporten Yeah, I think those things are both true.
The breaking of dawn across the country shortly followed by the sounds, “<yawn><stretch> . . . HOLY SHIT.”

@jeffporten Nah, just a joke. I tried to get them to change it for this one, but they wouldn’t. cc @jonseff

RT @GlennThrush: Key questions: Why didn’t they leave Boston days ago? Why did they have more bombs?
@BuzzFeedAndrew @glennthrush If they were robbing a 7-11, we’re not talking a well-financed operation.

@film_girl which “he”?

@jeffporten the dead suspect
@film_girl would seem to contradict setting off explosives, then…

Yes, it’s wonderful you’re using this medium to read nebulous unverified eyewitness reports of something. McLuhan says have a cookie.

@chartier Am I right in thinking that a brute force attack on 1Password requires access to the hardware?

@jeffporten Or a copy of the data file.

@jeffporten Feel free to email if you have more questions. DC @ the company I work for.
@chartier That’s what I thought. Many thanks. Switching over a client, needed to answer their tech ?s. Will follow up as needed.
@chartier I follow you, feel free to d me your address so I have it on hand.

What’s an average bedroom in Washington go for, rent-wise, these days? Meaning a share of an apartment. Anything under $1000?
@mkramer Depends on proximity to Metro. Group housing usually avail in $800 range.
