Fantastic! RT @jaddes_green: go outside and look at the moon #olympia its quite a sight. #

@kitchenmage I've had good luck w/Cooks Illus dinner in 30min book, altho 1st time have to budget ~15min extra. But CI is special that way. in reply to kitchenmage #
@heyrocker but it's cheap enough that I don't feel a lot of pressure to submit if I don't really have anything to say. in reply to heyrocker #
@heyrocker FWIW, I have the session proposal page for @drupalsummit open in another tab Right Now. in reply to heyrocker #
@heyrocker I think it's common to many (most?!) con-type events. (Only reason I ever got to go to #highedweb was by presenting.) in reply to heyrocker #
@jaydeflix gotcha. I haven't gotten any chicken-related emails myself. in reply to jaydeflix #
@NateCrowder @lilyorit that's a little weird for me…I've known a guy named Kermit since we were 11 years old. #aNiceGuySorta #notTHATnice in reply to NateCrowder #
@jaydeflix I'd start by contacting the FTC. in reply to jaydeflix #
@mkelley altho at first glance/futzing Muse isn't doing too badly. will have to throw something complicated at it. in reply to mkelley #
@mkelley when I worked at pierce college, several intranet subsites created with netobjects fusion. Worst. Code. Ever. Worse than FrontPage! in reply to mkelley #
@gusandrews apparently he's been making that argument for a while. (FWIW, there's a lively mefi thread going abt it.) in reply to gusandrews #

@einmaleins fwiw, it's a common issue in govt & grant funding. Not all money can be used for all purposes. in reply to einmaleins #
@einmaleins not interchangable $. Parks/sidewalks fund was voter-approved measure, abt 10 yrs ago iirc. (Pretty sure before I moved here.) in reply to einmaleins #
@einmaleins park building/buying is generally funded by parks/sidewalks (bond? Tax? Don't remember) while maint comes from general fund. in reply to einmaleins #
@Oakwright mmmm, fruit inspections. (re: church of steve the fruitbat) in reply to Oakwright #
@revoltpuppy yep, we're at 9% IE7 for this year. Everybody Dance Now! in reply to revoltpuppy #
@Oakwright you need to write a blog post about this. in reply to Oakwright #
@alixito CONGRATS! in reply to alixito #
@laurasolomon oh hey, isn't that what anti-trust law was created to handle? in reply to laurasolomon #
@olybuzz "Chinaâ€™s advantage: ability of co's to form partnerships with local govts & obtain loans at v low rates from state-owned banks." in reply to olybuzz #
@olybuzz looks like not *enough* involvement by govt to me, or too much involvement by Chinese govt (subsidies, tax breaks, loans). in reply to olybuzz #
@MarkMessinger I guess the one thing I can say for my alma mater bugging me for $$$ is that it's almost always for scholarships, not sports! in reply to MarkMessinger #
@MarkMessinger there was a great NYT article in the early 2000s about college sports funding. IIRC: not as self-supporting as they sound. in reply to MarkMessinger #
@MarkMessinger I'm with you. (the other half of the top 10 are univ heads and UW surgeons.) in reply to MarkMessinger #
@jackbrewster in total: Venture Bros Vols 1-3, Zoolander, Star Trek 2, Shakespeare in Love, Office Space. in reply to jackbrewster #
@jackbrewster I have an absurdly tiny DVD collection, pretty sure the whole thing would fit in a single tweet. (Netflix FTW?) in reply to jackbrewster #

Ok, girl, do you really have to have an involved personal phone call for the whole hour bus ride? #TMI #
Earlier I said I was torn btwn amazon ebook & paperback. Then I wandered into Borders… #30 off #feelKindaGuilty http://moby.to/h0z1hf #
@notlikenormal iirc @olybuzz finally got into twitter (& briefly facebook) upon losing his voice. All that verbosity has to go somewhere. 😉 in reply to notlikenormal #
@briansawyer amusingly enough, found it at borders (!) in seattle this aft, price between kindle & amazon paperback, so bought it then. in reply to briansawyer #
@briansawyer was ambivalent abt having as ebook (am reading library ebook now) esp since I want to make notes, so higher price matters. in reply to briansawyer #
@wsdot yay! (mom worked in hospital in her 20s, was ADAMANT we wear 'em. was 1st thing she said to my 1st boyfriend #embarassingTeenMoments in reply to wsdot #
I was ::this:: close to buying the kindle edition of a book…and then noticed that I could get it on paper for 25% less. #wtf #
@MsAllieD congratulations! (I've lost big toenails several times. gnarly.) in reply to MsAllieD #

@RaeBeta @TiredFairy I worry that she's contributed to "Torture and Abuse of Needy Families", despite being a good person generally. in reply to RaeBeta #
@RaeBeta @TiredFairy my mom is retiring from job at a welfare office in CA, does fraud detection, I think it's made her VERY cynical. 🙁 in reply to RaeBeta #
@kitchenmage photo instead of text (was in a hurry this morning), but…donut recipe: http://t.co/Xyvrrkr #
@decorabilia "aaaand it's gone" (south park margaritaville) in reply to decorabilia #

@kmcdade 🙂 in reply to kmcdade #
@kmcdade add blueberries for OMG WHOA. 🙂 in reply to kmcdade #
@briansawyer also, really enjoy the book. (would give extra copy as a gift) finally made a cheese sauce for veggies that didn't suck. in reply to briansawyer #

@Oakwright http://t.co/yYDpAqf in reply to Oakwright #
@shelleypowers yeah, Path Redirect is amazing when you have lots of legacy URLs…some *printed* in form letters I didn't know existed! in reply to shelleypowers #
@Oakwright I have the opposite problem. people sometimes talking TO me from next cube & I totally don't hear it at all. #codeBrain in reply to Oakwright #

@eaton an excellent (depressing!) article about the current mess of the financial sector: http://t.co/BkwBg3E – his book is good too. in reply to eaton #
@eaton FWIW, I work for a financial institution, but as a webmaster, so my understanding of this stuff is somewhat limited. in reply to eaton #
@eaton alas, it's easy (IMHO) for financial sector to become focused on rent-seeking or arbitrage, which are all abt perpetuation of self. in reply to eaton #
@eaton one useful (to a point) role is leverage; think of the speech in It's a Wonderful Life. "your money isn't here, it's in Joe's house" in reply to eaton #
@wilw I don't even *like* beer and I thought that was a lovely story. 🙂 in reply to wilw #
@olyhillary @olybuzz that's what I thought. (size 8 1/2 or 9, usually.) in reply to olyhillary #
@brucel but worth a try in any case, I suppose. (backup early & often!) in reply to brucel #
@brucel although…looks like it hasn't been updated since WP 2.7. #
@brucel you might try http://t.co/eqPVv3a (haven't used it myself, but sounds like it might be workable.) in reply to brucel #
@olybuzz parents – can't tell 'em anything. 😉 ::hugs:: (I bet dad would love having a pup to walk around their n'hood.) in reply to olybuzz #
@myerman ::raises hand:: (sometimes, anyway) in reply to myerman #
@jackbrewster maybe so…at the time it got snapped up by a domain spammer type. might look into it. in reply to jackbrewster #
blast from the past! cuecat + mystery dial: http://t.co/uT6O6Yk #
@emmettoconnell @jackbrewster and wow, it's been 5 years since that happened? (suddenly I feel old.) in reply to emmettoconnell #
@emmettoconnell @jackbrewster see also: http://t.co/9WI8Vfe in reply to emmettoconnell #
@jackbrewster I was a dumbass: forgot to renew, lost the password to the registrar (dead email acct), woke up 1 morning to find domain GONE. in reply to jackbrewster #
@jackbrewster I was pretty much the only person not TERRIFIED of the computer when I started working at a children's museum in '95. in reply to jackbrewster #
@jackbrewster not being afraid of the computer has probably been one of the most important aspects of my career development. in reply to jackbrewster #
@shelleypowers @myerman me too. I'm not sure if ignoring is the right thing to do, exactly, but it keeps me a bit more sane. in reply to shelleypowers #
"Seasonal dress-down day" at the office…so of course it's overcast/misting outside, FREEZING inside. #wheresMySweater #
