more blatant copying of apple: http://t.co/dPRANkoG (hp left, apple right) #
finally ppl are starting to see what's really happening, and it's killing the AGW theory altogether: http://t.co/nxT38NiF #
pathetic thing is avg global temps are the coldest they've been in 3+ years, yet media continues talking about our warm winter due to AGW. #
…when last year's brutally cold and snowy winter was also due to AGW. #lies #
sdk for heatmap and usability testing on iOS: https://t.co/MKJsf0W0 #
your customers expect you to release polished apps rather than rapid iterations of thrown-together solutions: http://t.co/AAhzalrc #
since ASIHTTPRequest pulled the plug last fall, MKNetworkKit is a promising alternative by @mugunthkumar: http://t.co/xN5e2gSz #
why your app should only support two versions of the OS/browser, the latest and the point-release prior: http://t.co/8vbabXcw #
"Using Core Data for caching is like using the military to kill bedbugs in your bedroom. DON’T DO IT!" #
congrats to us, we are now a paranoid police state: http://t.co/OI7Fqg8a #
@IIIThreat well i would hope so. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat haha, well quality guys aren't going to be found on tools like grindr. there's a reason they use social apps vs face-to-face. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat main reason being they can more easily lie and deceive who they really are and what they look like just for the sake of a hook up in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat which is exactly why you're realized its uselessness, it was never intended to be a dating or friend generator app. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat imo, relationships happen when you're not necessarily looking for one. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat not necessarily, i'm picky and have insanely high expectations for anyone (damn aquarius lol). in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat that's good. in the end, other ppl won't make you happy no matter who it is. it's all from within. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat absolutely not true. where are these studies? i bet i can find just as many studies proving otherwise. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat you're referring to "white privilege", which has nothing to do with love or attraction at all, things we have no control over. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat actually provide me with your evidence, then i'll decide its accuracy. also, a few studies hardly prove anything. in reply to IIIThreat #
cannot believe IE still does not support Array.indexOf(). what. the. fuck. #
@jlarsen76 not at all! in reply to jlarsen76 #
OH: "are you going to do the polar plunge?" "hell no, i don't want a man-gina!" #
@IIIThreat these first two are irrelevant b/c it's simply data from okcupid (i saw earlier), not actual scientific studies or evidence. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat they are drawing assumptions from data. they don't consider the actual message content and if they were worthy of a response. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat again, this is drawing assumptions from a social networking site where stereotypes of course play a role. we need real life proof in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat so in general you're saying race plays a larger factor in dating then what ppl are really attracted to? sorry, but that is false. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat love and relationships evolve out of attraction, which is far deeper than simply physical characteristics, including race. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat now you're basing most of your assumptions from online dating, of course stereotypes play a role b/c that's all u have initially. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat you're making broad generalizations out of your own frustrations. look at how many successful minorities there are out there… in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat …so all you can do is prove those who "discriminate" wrong. i don't believe always falling back on the race issue is a reason. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat you can't help who or what ppl are attracted to, and yes physical attraction gets the ball rolling in a relationship. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat in all seriousness, don't fall back on the "you wouldn't understand" comment… it irritates me lol. i observe, so i understand. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat but you make it out to only be a race thing which is not the case. there are different segments of society that feel the same. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat you're discounting the psychology of attraction. if not remotely attracted to someone physically, why go on a date w/them? in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat yeah you may find they are a good person after multiple dates, but most ppl don't like taking that chance if no attraction at all in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat and you can't tell me you don't look for specific characteristics in a person before you would consider dating. it's built-in. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat and with interracial relationships increasing exponentially and more accepted, you can't say race is the issue 100% of the time. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat as a friend, i'm just asking you to step back from your own situation at look at the bigger picture. trust me, it helps. in reply to IIIThreat #
now having daylight when leaving for work and when leaving is pretty damn exciting. it's the little things. #
@xWindcaster not sure what that's in reference to… the above normal temps for MSP? in reply to xWindcaster #
i prefer to exist within my own reality distortion field. it's better in here anyway. #
"charge what you're worth" – pricing strategy for creatives: http://t.co/TJbQW7fi #
@hwlee and that's exciting! in reply to hwlee #
how can @twitter not control spam more? a user w/no followers and not following anyone, but hundreds of tweets is 99.9% always spam. #
ISO8601 date string to NSDate formatter: http://t.co/mnKngBC2 #
@slackluster that's what happens when you stare at code for too long. that, and it took me a few to find that. in reply to slackluster #
@IIIThreat well the main reason is the person who organized the whole thing. he picked from his group of friends, not just anyone. in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat you're view is inherently skewed by only what you're familiar with and in this country where european decent is majority… in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat perhaps, but do you even consider it's more related to who you hang out with and where you go to persue a relationship? in reply to IIIThreat #
"how do we get rid of racism?" "stop talking about it." – morgan freeman http://t.co/8tVXn1wx #truism #
@IIIThreat the main problem i had w/your original claim was that you're difficulty in finding a relationship was solely due to race… in reply to IIIThreat #
@IIIThreat …without regard to how complicated and complex social relationships, let alone romantic ones, really are. there are no answers. in reply to IIIThreat #
the noobs are always the most spastic at the gym. #
@xWindcaster on the contrary, how does your AWG camp explain record AK/Canada cold and normal sea ice extent when they claim constant dec? in reply to xWindcaster #
@xWindcaster also, how does they explain global temps nowhere near where they predicted a decade ago (esp hansen) and now leveling globally? in reply to xWindcaster #
@xWindcaster my argument is no one knows what will happen, we can't accurately forecast beyond 7 days let alone yrs. all we an do is adapt. in reply to xWindcaster #
@xWindcaster yes there has been warming, but no proof caused by co2 instead of natural climate cycles. and warming is already leveling off. in reply to xWindcaster #
don't care what that fur ball in PA saw, our own groundhog says no more winter. http://t.co/vBK0tqvG #
powerful: "wake up america" – http://t.co/EOgPIw0N (via @nmyra) #
@mediatemple awesome, pick me! pick me! in reply to mediatemple #
love when companies take this much care and control over their brand: http://t.co/2wvz1g7Y #
ducati is definitely the apple of the motorcycle industry, which is why they drive my passion: http://t.co/bTKMhWNh #
with it's ipo, here's how facebook plans to exploit you as a user: http://t.co/cDJDn5cX #
all these ppl bitching about apple's factories overseas fail to realize most of the shit they buy here likely comes from similar factories. #
it's not apple's factory; why aren't we going after the chinese government instead? do we not consider if the factories benefit the ppl? #
you can't compare one society with another on the same level. just look how far that gets us regarding religion. #ignorant #
so consider this: most americans would not want to pay more for things they buy just for the sake of bringing manufac jobs back to the u.s. #
@friskygeek it's annoying. great post btw, it is all about context. in reply to friskygeek #
regarding the foxconn outcry, remember it's all in context: http://t.co/Ukf3SRxL (via @friskygeek) #
apple products only account for 25% of products foxconn makes; the rest are HP, DELL, IBM, Microsoft, and more: http://t.co/7T3qG8vF #
@DucatiUSA can't wait to see you there this weekend! in reply to DucatiUSA #
four days straight of this fog shit is enough already. http://t.co/I6jq9fgC #
@davidherrold i'll be sure to let you know next year. in reply to davidherrold #
don't fully understand the need for some guys to wear their motorcycle jackets to a motorcycle show. odd. #
the new yamaha r1 looks like a praying mantis, the new gsxr front is just hideous. ducati is the only one worth the money. #
guess i should have worn my full leathers to the motorcycle show. #
just heard a woman on her phone say how much minneapolis sucks. she has no idea. #

in a world filled w/increasingly more distractions, convinced the open office floor plan no longer works for creatives or developers. #
more proof AGW is a hoax: same nasa scientists now preaching warming doom and gloom predicted an ice age in the 1970s http://t.co/LKvqaGu5 #
why don't we just admit climate is cyclical, far too complex for us to fully understand and just adapt? b/c for AGW camp money is at stake. #
alerts for receiving emails are really odd if you think about it; we never had alerts on our mailboxes and survived w/o knowing. #simplicity #
the reason so many are glued to their inboxes and check endlessly: "variable-interval reinforcement" http://t.co/hikwkfbh #psychology #
here's a thought. we all stop paying out taxes until our govt proves to us they are working for all of us, not just corporations. everyone. #
snarky is my middle name. well, one of many, that is. #

yum. http://t.co/oC0xJlcK #
@chad_wilson oompa loompa ringmaster. in reply to chad_wilson #
ugh. "clean energy" is such a political buzz word that means nothing, nor solves anything. #
@subimage agreed. this two-party system is inefficient, a joke, and should be illegal. in reply to subimage #
obama just mentioned "toxic dumping." hopefully that means kicking out every politician currently in office. #
the reason commuting to work is so painful is b/c it's one situation where you're forced to deal w/dumb asses. #
@nmyra that would be pho-king nice. in reply to nmyra #
would say i'm wearing @aussieBum to celebrate australia day, but that's nearly all that i own. #

just b/c the snow isn't in your backyard doesn't mean there's been a lack of it, it's just all in alaska, canada and the southern rockies. #

bigger usually is never better, and a phone should not be a tablet. case in point, this samsung p.o.s. vs. the iphone: http://t.co/EKXDtrHB #
the reason apple wins in the end is b/c they fine tune their designs over and over to perfection instead of releasing 50 different versions. #
all other phone/tablet manufacturers release a shitty product, which fails. so they scrap it and create a totally different device. failure. #
@jdlathrop @hwlee enjoy it today and tomorrow. it all comes crashing down thursday. in reply to jdlathrop #
running global temps running below normal now with global arctic sea ice above normal: http://t.co/T9xqpGDt #

re-ordering workout supplements always ends up being a multiple-hour research study on effectiveness of all types of proteins and aminos. #
damn the vikings suck. and they somehow think they deserve a new stadium, and taxpayers should pay? #
@nmyra those occur too frequently. #
woot! Univ of Texas School of Architecture (my alma mater) ranked 2nd in the nation, best undergrad program: http://t.co/6P3iwJn0 #

anytime i try to test anything in IE, i really want to punch something. #
best way to determine if a designer or developer created something? existence of sufficient padding (which 100% developers don't grasp). #
this should make you think: http://t.co/xseapHXq #
using the new path app more simply b/c it's beautifully designed: http://t.co/u88Uiie3 #
the new interface on http://t.co/fRvmH5yU is kind of wonky and clunky. #

when you're a developer, the last thing you want to do is have to debug other ppl's shit in addition to your own. #
i guess we can all pretend. #

the technology behind siri is great, but will become as rude and annoying as everyone glued to their phones in public: http://t.co/KnpaYAjq #
i guarantee most ppl who use siri in public all the time only do for attention, as if ppl should be impressed that you have the new iphone. #
@slackluster unfortunately architects and designers aren't valued by society as much as they should be. we create their world for them. in reply to slackluster #
caring for your introvert: http://t.co/l7E7q0dP (via @slackluster) #
"introverts are ppl who find other ppl tiring… we tend to think before talking. extroverts have no idea the torment they put us through." #
