On @usatodaytech, a checklist if you get asked to give anybody’s computer a checkup over the holidays: http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnist/2012/12/22/pegoraro-computer-updates-windows-skype/1784543/ …
@robpegoraro 1. “No.” 2. “Would you ask my cousin the doctor for a checkup?” 3. “Pass the Doritos.”
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
I’m too beautiful to be hired, according to the Iowa Supreme Court.
Kathryn @Kathryn_L_P:
@GlennF oh, you can be hired. you just can’t stay hired
@Kathryn_L_P @glennf I’m investing in the Iowa Sackcloth Manufactory.
Kathryn @Kathryn_L_P:
@jeffporten @GlennF for women to wear to work? sounds itchy, prefer to take my chances with polyester
@Kathryn_L_P @glennf but if the goal is subjugating women as second-class, sackcloth is sorta traditional.
Kathryn @Kathryn_L_P:
@jeffporten @GlennF This is not abt her attractiveness. Is abt his perception of OWN. Claims fear of “having” affair. Why can’t she say no?
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
@Kathryn_L_P @jeffporten Saw an interview, too. She was freaked out that the guy she worked for for years was harboring this.
“@TheOnion: Study Finds 85% Of Americans Don’t Know Dance Moves To National Anthem http://onion.com/TdMHIq ”// YMCA rejected as “too gay” by GOP

Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
A Seattle Times reader says incoming iPhone 5 calls over Bluetooth not recognized in car integration. True? I don’t have this setup.
TJ Luoma @TJLuoma:
@GlennF I keep waiting for them to fix it in a point release, but really this is stuff that they shouldn’t be breaking anymore.
@TJLuoma @glennf Data point: I just attempted to play music through a BT mono headset. iPhone refused to send it there.
Kevin van Haaren @kvanh:
@jeffporten @TJLuoma @glennf bt headsets can register as a stereo device or just a mono headset. One plays music, one doesn’t.
@kvanh @tjluoma @glennf <Latella>Oh. Never mind.</Latella>
Already trying to use Instapaper gestures in The Magazine. @glennf, maybe you should hire that guy. Or am I missing a setting?
A tweet from @glennf just reminded me to subscribe to @TheMagazineApp, so his Twitter time now paying off at $1.6411152987e-5 per tweet.
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
@ginatrapani That is interesting insight. What did you think about Serenity’s “superheroes” piece, though? Did that have that “you should”?
Gina Trapani @ginatrapani:
@GlennF answer to your question: No, that piece did not have the “should” tone to it.
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
@ginatrapani to contribute if they didn’t pitch (had this problem in tech conf biz). Now, I just do it. It’s what’s needed
Gina Trapani @ginatrapani:
@GlennF yup, exactly
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
@ginatrapani I agonize less about inclusiveness as I age. I just include.
@GlennF @ginatrapani This male self-identified feminist is having trouble with the idea that “should” voice is necessarily masculine.
Whatever the fuck an “intelligence engine for driving content monetization” is, someone wants to show me one at CES.
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
I don’t block people typically because I don’t like what they say. I block because they fill my @ mention stream. #unmentionables

Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
@blankbaby UNFOLLOW SATURDAYS IS MY NEW TRADITION #US
@GlennF @blankbaby Oddly, the Talmud DOES have an opinion about unfollowing on Saturdays.
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
I’m feeling based on MSM coverage alone that shift on NRA has happened. Has someone published an expose on their finances?
@GlennF same “shift” happened after Columbine. Without major legislation, it drifted back to status quo.
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
@jeffporten Not like this. I remember NRA getting a pass b/c everyone freaked out by political will.
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
We have friends whose family is so photogenic their Christmas card could be the photo that comes with a picture frame.
@GlennF I guess picking out gifts for them is pretty simple then.
Kevin van Haaren @kvanh:
I have 15 apps on my phone for timing, alerting or reminding me. I still fail at time management. I even regularly use about 5 of those.
@kvanh ever read The Now Habit?
Kevin van Haaren @kvanh:
@jeffporten I’m still reading Driven to Distraction, don’t try and change what little focus I have!
@kvanh make that the next one. Neal Fiore.
“@stephenfhayes: Paul Ryan ally tells me talk of Ryan challenging John Boehner for Speaker is “crazy.”” // like that stops GOP?

Last weeks TV is still available! 37″ Samsung tv, $200. First reply gets it. pic.twitter.com/pUKWKzDW
@verso FIRST reply? But I wasn’t bidding, I was just scratching my ear!
Melody Kramer @mkramer:
Baking cookies and watching Love Actually with ’05/6 @pennband‘os. A timeless holiday tradition, started in 2008.
@mkramer @pennband That’s adorable.
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
I like our new president, much better negotiator than the one we had the last four years: http://bit.ly/UffayH
@GlennF we are both hoping for Obama dayenu. http://www.jeffporten.com/?p=4401
Experiencing brainlock: need utility that triggers macros, i.e., “When tethered to iPhone, stop friggin’ podcast d/ls.” Suggestions?
@jeffporten Just looked for Proxi, but it appears to be dead.
Kevin van Haaren @kvanh:
@jeffporten Sidekick? Although it seems to use geo-location. http://oomphalot.com/sidekick/
@kvanh Hmm. Might be useful for other stuff.
