@asocialcontract Great movie. Have you seen the sequel? Any good?
@ironicsans “It’s just Blah blah” is one of my favorite sequences in a television show.
“The DIM Hypothesis” is finally available for preorder on iBookstore! Done.
@codinghorror It would have been extra cool if their example Twitter users were “Goofus” and “Gallant.”
This is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time - http://x.co/n497
@Lozingers Summer doesn’t end here until at least October. This is what we call a temporary reprieve.

@allroses Yes, he was there with his daughter.
Is that @realgranthill33 at Chuck E. Cheese?!
damienkatz A machine dispensing udp packets had a sign saying “Out of Order” (the great thing about udp jokes is I don’t care if you get them)
AmityShlaes Ayn Rand worked for Willkie, which means she certainly could work for Ryan. Rand was human, and moody, but she enjoyed Willkie Clubs.

@mwickens Okay, that’s pretty incomprehensible. Maybe they just don’t know that you can do that?
@mwickens But, but, but. He’s not *perfect*!
@mwickens I actually understand that. Press the “PrntScrn” button, screenshot is in clipboard. Where to paste? Word.
This is a simply astounding uneven bars performance by Olga Korbut in the 1972 Olympics. I am floored! - http://x.co/mt5R

Paul Ryan is about the best option I could’ve hoped for in a VP. I wish it had been McCain/Ryan given the former’s advanced age, though.
RobLowe Can someone explain the vitriol whenever Ayn Rand comes up? “Atlas” is the greatest motivator for the individual that I can imagine.
6browns We’re signing up the girls for the competitive synchronized team at Scottsdale Synchro. The mood is nervous and excited at the same time!

@mwickens $4.99 once would at least give the name some relevance and meaning.

@Tenure Buy versus rent.
@Tenure Keyboard shortcuts, for sure.

Day 12 of my thirty-day @Postbox trial: I paid the measly $9.95 to buy a license—it’s so good that I can’t see going back to Mail.app.
I love having a simple, two-syllable name—even more after reading this http://x.co/mbWgqb
