One May day, when I was visiting my college on a trip to the west coast, three former classmates said that they were headed to the gym for a workout. Would I like to come?
“Why not?”
It’s surprising how many bad ideas begin with that question.
See what they neglected to mention was that it was an [...]
It’s weird how worlds intersect. Here is some lobbycon dialog:
“I don’t know, but if you plot the points, there aren’t many intersections. I’ve noticed it on my Facebook: The Open Source world has different geeks, and then the Web 2.0 world is mixed up. Priorities are f’d—people like X, who are big in the Web [...]
Wired’s cover article caused a friend to try to explain twitter to someone else.
I thought I’d give a shot at trying to twitter what twitter is:
Twitter is about leaving bits of yourself to your friends in 140 characters or less.
(I’ll twat it when Twitter stops Fail Whaleing.)
Flashback: Apparently Chris seeing me twatting on my iPhone [...]
A random post on my stalker feed brings me back of the last party
…
“Are you single?” It’s the second time at the party, Alex has asked that. The internal dialog is now in fine form.
This is San Francisco, shouldn’t you ask if I’m gay first?, “Stop trying to fill out a social networking registration page, [...]
A friend sent me this article with the comment, “I think you will enjoy reading this.”

Someone introduced me the other day: “Do you know, Terry? He’s one of the coolest guys I know.” And I thought Where did he get his crack pipe?
Then it occurred to me: Maybe he doesn’t know what I do? and balance was restored to the Force. So I let him go with a citation.

It’s interesting how self-context can change a city.
Last time I visited Amsterdam, I was in a terrible relationship, living in South Bay and I got robbed leaving Schiphol. Three years later, I’m single living in San Francisco and am a tiny bit wiser.
This time, for instance, I found out that Amsterdam smells a lot like [...]
How a friend spent my birthday yesterday:

Hope your day was similarly awesome!
