Greg Knauss @gknauss:
@GlennF Do you know how Obama is going to manage instituting sharia law while also promoting homosexuality? Alternate days or what?
@gknauss @GlennF Don’t forget he’s also a communist. It’s all done with a proletariat pool of communal genitals.

Off for a walk through Toronto. If I don’t tweet by morning, send a St. Bernard with coffee and Bailey’s.
Alex Kudera @kudera:
@jeffporten hey, enjoy Toronto; one thing i like about that place is the access to quality pho all over town.
@kudera on a walking tour and saw five places to try. Will have to come back.
Alex Abboud @alexabboud:
#Toronto tweeps, need a place I can work for the next few hours with free WiFi and close to U of T. Help?
@alexabboud I’m at Starbucks near Bloor, across from St. George station exit. Here for the same reason.
Alex Abboud @alexabboud:
@jeffporten wait. Were you at VT!? Did I not see you the whole weekend? I’ll head over & say hi. On Madison N of Bloor. Need to leave at 4.
@alexabboud When we sang Red & Blue, you must’ve missed me through all of the napkins. :-)
Martin Kennedy @mkyeg:
@jeffporten @alexabboud Sorry to have missed you at VT, Jeff. Had a great time. Seriously thinking of VP 100.
@mkyeg @alexabboud See you at VP. We’ll organize a caravan.
Amused that Canadian Starbucks wifi is 4x faster than American.
Melody Kramer @mkramer:
It’s Friday! What’s the best thing that’s happened to you this week? #bestthingallweek
@mkramer uninterrupted power, Internet, food, clean water.
John P. Speno @speno:
DNS/IPAM software is a wasteland. Anything halfway decent out there?
@speno Agreed. I’m currently experimenting with OSXS 10.8 + direct edits to BIND files.
John P. Speno @speno:
@jeffporten I hope you are using vi for that. ;-)
@speno Vi is for wimps. I use a hex editor. That uses a Morse code sender for binary input.
John P. Speno @speno:
@jeffporten righteous! let me know if you need help.
Jim Dalrymple @jdalrymple:
Why is it that you can break up with a person over text, but if you switch from an iPhone you feel compelled to write 1,000 words on it.
@jdalrymple Most iPhones are more interesting than most people. And better in bed.
Jim Dalrymple @jdalrymple:
@jeffporten you win
“@altmandaniel: I’ll bet 2K people who don’t know Krugman know Silver.” // I’ll bet most who know both don’t care they’re @ NYT.
@mkramer My Franklin & Marshall physics grade: “Jeff consistently hovered in the bottom 20% of the class.”
Jesse Spector @jessespector:
@jeffporten Shouldn’t you get extra points for breaking the laws of physics by hovering? @mkramer
@jessespector @mkramer They don’t truck much with witchcraft out in Amish country.
Daniel Jalkut @danielpunkass:
@settern Yeah, you’ve got Market Basket to cover you for basics.
Serenity Caldwell @settern:
@danielpunkass More like I drive to TJs in Alewife; the Market Basket here is zombie-apocalypse-terrifying.
Daniel Jalkut @danielpunkass:
@settern And I love TJs too but they have similar problems for many basic staples. If they just don’t happen to carry it, out of luck.
Serenity Caldwell @settern:
@danielpunkass Yeah, it’s a problem. I routinely shop at the TJs/Whole Foods/Shaw’s trifecta.
John Siracusa @siracusa:
@settern @danielpunkass Wegmans is coming soon to the traffic nightmare that is Route 9, but I’ve heard nothing but raves about that chain.
@siracusa @settern @danielpunkass If I lived near a Wegman’s, I’d eat myself to death in 3 weeks, and I’d *still* fit in a large pizza box.
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
News Corp gives $1m to Sandy victims, but requires voicemail passwords before cutting checks.
@GlennF Oddly, 80% of victims surprised to receive checks immediately.
Antichrista @antichrista:
David Cronenberg’s Star Wars would be all about sarlacci (correct plural, according to Wookiepedia): http://twitpic.com/b9ezi6
@antichrista @glennf Sarlacci? I guess if you want a truly impressive hole in the ground, turn to Italian engineers.
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
How much candy from your children’s haul is it appropriate to steal: by weight or percentage?
@GlennF That function is directly correlated with the observational powers of your children.
Apparently, the purpose of fun-size candy bars is the feeling of self-loathing when the pile of wrappers is taller than your coffee cup.
Dave Winer ? @davewiner:
I think everyone can agree the mayor of Atlantic City is an idiot.

The 21st century state of online CMSes is deplorable: http://tmblr.co/ZelxbyWHyPUl
@chartier This is why I loved WebCrossing 10 years ago: powerful platform, JavaScript language. Seems to have evaporated.
erika owens @erika_owens:
@mkramer I’m honestly confused/excited for a sec every time I hear it: “THAT person cares about web journalism!?” …oh, right.
@erika_owens I’m a bit blown away today by how much better Twitter/Facebook was for keeping me Sandy informed the last 24 hours.
erika owens @erika_owens:
@jeffporten agreed. I was relying on them to know what the heck was happening along with http://bit.ly/TsVTdf and http://wny.cc/TsVRlz
@erika_owens Good links, I wish I’d had them. I was impressed with WaPo Capital Weather Blog.
