@shelleypowers I'm making myself a "temp-ignore" list and temporarily unfollowing a bunch of people. in reply to shelleypowers #
wanted to go for a walk. but rain blowing sideways is maybe a bit more than I'm ready for. #

@simonstl drafts are good. 🙂 in reply to simonstl #
@godlessgirl it worked out pretty well, considering. (it was an…exciting relationship to say the least. we kinda became adults together.) in reply to godlessgirl #

@shelleypowers some days it's just overwhelming to look at all the crap out there and feel Totally Powerless. 🙁 in reply to shelleypowers #
@Oakwright "I'm so nonconformist I'm not conforming to you guys. I'm in." "We just got goth served." in reply to Oakwright #
@tomvanderbilt I heard once that the residents had to pay to get it (in the 80s?) and that one guy didn't want to pay, so there it ended. 🙁 in reply to tomvanderbilt #
@tomvanderbilt that exact thing happened on our block, tho long before we ever moved into our house. sidewalk ends quite abruptly. in reply to tomvanderbilt #
@RobertAHunter just saw this Simpsons ep recently: "Good things don't end in 'eum,' they end in 'mania'…or 'teria'." http://bit.ly/fwtYdg in reply to RobertAHunter #
"Senior VP for Bad Decisions at Yahoo" hahaha. RT @Pinboard: technical writeup of December's Delicious stampede: http://bit.ly/e7UK6b #

@RobertAHunter @olybuzz 🙂 FWIW, I've been on #MetaFilter for almost 10 yrs, and I LOVE their community management. (can go on & on abt it!) in reply to RobertAHunter #
@olybuzz mama needs a new computer for coding up something fun for tying all the threads together. 😉 in reply to olybuzz #
@RobertAHunter I know, I know. like I said, brings out the curmudgeon. something something jumping off a bridge something something. in reply to RobertAHunter #
@brosage @emmettoconnell @olybuzz the argument for FB always boils down to "that's where the ppl are." brings out my inner (?!) curmudgeon. in reply to olybuzz #
@brosage @emmettoconnell I would guess that it's not (just) that it's Facebook, but also that y'all are really active with it. in reply to brosage #
@olybuzz there's https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Installing-and-Running-Diaspora altho it's still early/sketchy. in reply to olybuzz #
@Lifehacker @olybuzz expanded: http://thewebgeneralist.com/2011/03/mmmmm-math/ (because commenting keeps failing) #
@Lifehacker @olybuzz pretty sure it can't be done w/pure CSS. just the way it works. each box w/gutter is by def 320px wide, can't overlap. in reply to Lifehacker #
in instances where it's NOT OK, I've used alt. names. I behave in a "stable" way, but not tied to real self. sometimes v necessary. #
on anon/pseudo/"real" – I've had a consistent username for >10yrs, so it's def tied to my real identity, and I'm (mostly) ok with that. #
@fakebaldur EXACTLY. in reply to fakebaldur #
@emmettoconnell @brosage my favorite example of the value of pseudonymity: @deandad – blog would NEVER exist if tied to IRL identity. in reply to emmettoconnell #
@emmettoconnell @brosage being forced to (a) tie all yr online personages together and (b) tie them to your actual person is problematic. in reply to emmettoconnell #
@emmettoconnell @brosage there's a difference between anonymity & pseudonymity in building online community, for one thing. in reply to emmettoconnell #
@FinancialBrand re branches: mom's been with same physical FI location for ~30yrs, but it's probly been 6 FIs. next to grocery store ftw! in reply to FinancialBrand #
need to build ignore list for #drupalcon & #sxsw ::sigh:: (btw, would LOVE to read any summary blog posts or other long form abt either.) #
@dylanw class action ftw! (I wish.) in reply to dylanw #
@wsdot almost spit out my tea at "im on ur freeway/usin mah twitter" #
really glad I (sorta mostly) cleaned my bike yesterday. this morning was a great commute, and now the SUN is SHINING! #
