@marcurran Man, you weren’t kidding about your Zipps love—you’re publicly proclaiming it even.
$116 for an obituary?! A dying industry relying on dead people to cling to what little life remains.
kim_mcneill Children must be taught how to think! Not left on their own to try to integrate a mish-mash of whim-motivated information.
CalDAV, take me away! CalDAV: I’m lovin’ it. CalDAV: When you absolutely, positively have to be there on time.
@shlevy That’s fine. Nuance doesn’t come across well on Twitter. But boy do we all try to shove it in!
@shlevy Who’s suggesting positive discipline or unschooling is do-nothing?I’m against both and I don’t do that. So there’s a third option.
@kim_mcneill I see unschooling as “paleo as ideal” applied to education. There’s more at work here, but 140 characters is too limited.
@shlevy False dichotomy or straw man, it’s so hard to choose.
@shlevy That’s true, I haven’t. But I didn’t think I needed to see every concrete to form a principled evaluation of a philosophy.

I started on a great, new team today and just found out that we’re having paninis for dinner. This day just keeps getting better and better.

@mclazarus We were just joking about that with out kids. We told them that timeout would be heavenly. They weren’t buying it.
Moderation mush: it’s what’s for dinner.
@kim_mcneill Yes, and that’s my primary knock against unschooling and homeschooling that isn’t formal.
@shlevy Heh, I guess it was ambiguous. It’s a good thing. I love the “Are you nuts?” opening line of his response.

Finished my first book on the iPad (The Driver by Garet Garrett http://books.google.com/… ) and it was very pleasant.
What if the iPhone OS 4 multitasking is what’s been there all along, but codified and ready for third parties? Simple private API -> public.
I’ve bested my previous record for shortest time on a team of one week by -13 days.
@mwickens Yes, unless you’re viewing it in Safari…
Lordy, lordy, are my Cocoa skills rusty! One year out and I’m already forgetting that you have to wire things up in IB before calling.
@DrBobParsons That’s the plight of the early adopter. Fortunately, mine connects (and stays connected) to the wireless perfectly.
Also, this thing scratches my itches perfectly. Magical? Nah. Incredible? Truly.
When bringing an iPad to the office, you will constantly be stopped and have to give impromptu demos. Figure that into meeting travel time.

Watching streaming Netflix on the iPad really feels like science fiction.
