Still unable to reach Restore Our Future’s treasurer, Max Bialystock.
Robin Ince @robinince:
Odd being at the Glee listening to the upbeat disco soundtrack that is the antithesis of me
@robinince probably the antithesis of anyone who knows the word antithesis.

We overbooked your room rate, so we upgraded you to the Harrington Suite… Holy Crap. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151183837729613.447425.666844612&type=3 …
@tpryan I got a bridal suite at Caesars once. It was almost frightening. I was tempted to serve dinner for 12 in the dining room.
Sign of a well-used hotel room: shoe is missing. Found under ottoman.
Lex Friedman @lexfri:
So excited to have spent thirty minutes standing around waiting in this Verizon store.
@lexfri I’d have thought you’d be psyched to be anywhere with Internet service.
Peter Cohen @flargh:
Nothing’s changed. Obama’s still president, the GOP controls the house, the Dems control the Senate, and the NHL lockout still continues.
@flargh That’s why Obama won: because some people see minimal change as an improvement over an alternative hellscape.
Peter Cohen @flargh:
@jeffporten The black devil you know is better than the white devil you don’t.
Robert Guerra @netfreedom:
Sigh. Seems #igf12 tech team configured the network with a /22 (1024 ips). Really demonstrates incompetence to prepare tech logistics
@netfreedom How many people are there?
Robert Guerra @netfreedom:
@jeffporten over 2000 almost everyone has multiple devices
Heather Kelly @kelly_heather:
I’m looking for a good collaborative to-do app for iOS. Any recommendations?
Jeff Carlson @jeffcarlson:
@kelly_heather Look at Trello, which is a great Web-based system that also has an iOS app. http://trello.com
Heather Kelly @kelly_heather:
@jeffcarlson @sarahmitroff Two votes for Trello, I’ll check it out!
@kelly_heather Three votes.
Steve Lutz @slutz:
A few attention-seeking adolescents on Twitter mean that the country as a whole is still mired in vicious racism? Were you here last night?
@slutz Most of the worst stuff I’ve seen on Twitter was middle-aged white people. But your point stands.
Steve Lutz @slutz:
@jeffporten I would also place them firmly in the “attention-seeking adolescents” category.
Adam C. Engst @adamengst:
I hear the going rate is two in the bush. Anyone want to trade? pic.twitter.com/Mav943nb
@adamengst In New Jersey, the standard way to let go of that is to flip it to someone.

Rob Griffiths @rgriff:
Washington legalized pot; Oregon didn’t. Awaiting the new “Welcome to Oregon: Buckle up and put out that joint!” signs on border crossings.
@rgriff Twenty feet away: “Welcome to Washington. Kick back and take a load off.”
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
I CAN MARRY GAY PEOPLE NOW!!! I mean officiate.
@GlennF @reppep Don’t worry, only a few more years before we get that gay polygamy thing legalized.
@erika_owens The Bugle just signed off, so you’ve got cover if you need some sleep.
Based on the number of websites I’m reading simultaneously, this would’ve been a good day to buy three more MacBooks.
erika owens @erika_owens:
You get the overall map AND deep dives in the same interactive from @WNYC, wow. http://wny.cc/Ui09hN
@erika_owens Fond of this one: http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/results/president/big-board …
@erika_owens Just realized, Jesus, you have a late night tonight.
erika owens @erika_owens:
@jeffporten ha, yeah. I figured I’d stay up until I couldn’t anymore. I like that NYTimes one, but I find “lead” and the coloring confusing.
@erika_owens I think I need more neural glucose to really grok the WNYC map. Wasn’t expecting all those demographics.
@erika_owens I like the very easy visual of how it’s breaking down, since we’ve all memorized the expectation.
erika owens @erika_owens:
@jeffporten yeah, it’ll be an interesting visualization of how much precincts matter. I bet lots of states will turn many shades.
@erika_owens Might end up playing with that one tomorrow. PS: Earl Grey excellent for pick-me-up.
erika owens @erika_owens:
@jeffporten thanks. Earl Grey is tasty. I’m afraid if I have more caffeine, I’ll be up till tomorrow afternoon.
@erika_owens Tea has itty bitty amounts of caffeine. It’s the Flintstones vitamin of neurostimulants.
@erika_owens Meanwhile, I’m trying to figure out why *I’m* so tired, and suddenly remembered I was in Toronto yesterday. Man. Brain fried.
erika owens @erika_owens:
@jeffporten guess that explains why I get so wired when I eat dark chocolate.
@erika_owens Is there any other kind?
“@thinkprogress: There are 30 Romneys in Boston tonight with Mitt http://thkpr.gs/UvXsnu #30Romneys” // 8 of them are Mitt facets, though
If you enjoy agita, NPR has the Romney lead at 49-3, having called more gimme states than the networks.
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
In the middle of me being political, asinine, and argumentative, I’m gaining followers. What to do, what to do.
@GlennF Ignore both content trend and headcount and write what you care about? Just thinking out loud, here.
Terrence Ryan @tpryan:
PHL to LHR. Somebody make sure they post election results on twitter. Just in case no one else does.
@tpryan Your timing is impeccable.
