  • oddly enough i'm slowly getting mentally ready for another minnesota winter and snow. though, that could also be the delusion speaking. #
  • "none are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." – goethe #
  • glad mainstream media covers such "critical" issues like gay marriage instead of what's really happening in america: http://t.co/9zvQeuoB #
  • RT: @nmyra: Truth: People judge your life because they're too afraid to look at their own. #
  • the apple event hasn't even arrived and i'm already sick of hearing about the new iphone. who cares what the rumors are? #
  • you say "capitalize on my strengths"; i hear "i have no strengths and struggling to develop one." #
  • haha! http://t.co/utquDASx #
  • design + usability should never be compromised for the sake of cost + time. ever. #perfectionist #
  • that includes native vs web apps. web apps will always lead to a poorer user experience overall. #
  • news of @adobe acquiring @typekit, which means they will surely ruin the service like they do everything else they buy. #
  • "an education is the best kind of revolution – it is the revolution of the mind." http://t.co/lypavrs0 #OccupyWallStreet #
  • "in the age of lies, even the clumsiest frankness is preferable to the best-orchestrated ruse." – camus #
  • didn't know erg machines came w/gas tanks http://t.co/OZVSMCp0 #
  • driving in city traffic will make you realize how much you can really despise humanity. #
  • @NachoMan not to mention the months of hype going into them is very exhausting. in reply to NachoMan #
  • hoping my twitter stream isn't inundated by a play-by-play of the apple event. if i wanted it, i would go to a liveblog source. #
  • haha! RT @luxuryluke: What?! no iPhone 5??? http://t.co/2vcNeAnU #
  • recommending these liveblogs for the apple event: http://t.co/r4KRpTUw http://t.co/PMeaF3bl #
  • damn, i love apple and all, but these apple freaks are a bunch of whiny bitches, crying about no iphone5 yet. #
  • we all forget that w/o apple, all of these other competitor mobile devices would be nothing (b/c they would have no one to copy). #
  • the new voice control on iphone is great and advanced, but needs to be pretty damn flawless to be better than touch interaction. #
  • why apple is better? they push us to accept more natural ways of human-computer interaction. everyone else = mouse + kb. #siri #
  • if an ugly and inconsistent UI and shitty usability is what you want, please go to android. #
  • don't get ppl's reactions… so no iphone5 w/new form. aside from a slightly larger screen, don't all android devices look the same anyway? #
  • regarding no iphone5, "why change it if it works fine?" (via @hwlee). agreed. hardware + software are more important than overall form now. #
  • "the iPhone 4S is a significantly different device under the hood" http://t.co/7SnIdGyV #
  • plus, why would apple release an iphone 5 that doesn't support 4G? that likely comes next year. #
  • based on the upcoming winter forecast from @breakingweather, looks like this winter will be even worse than last in MN http://t.co/oRIv69Bv #
  • OH: "the damn polar bears. they're tired of the black and brown bears getting all the attention. it's a racial issue." #
  • OH: "um, there's a reason your penis isn't working. b/c you're about to die!" #
  • after an hour of frustration, just read that MKPolygon doesn't support proper subclassing. #fml #
  • the MKPolygon subclassing solution: http://t.co/YzxUt76H #
  • @leonellimaponce better not be a phase, though they are protesting the wrong ppl: http://t.co/lypavrs0 in reply to leonellimaponce #

  • love the tribute on http://t.co/S190S7Fa. feels like i just lost a parent and good friend. #
  • "how to live before you die" makes even more sense now: http://t.co/sVybFH4L#

  • "if everything is so certain, the science so settled, why does @algore resort to these cheap stagecraft tricks to convince people?" #lies #
  • if the gore camp is so willing to fake a "simple" experiment to try to prove their b.s. theory, why would we even believe any of them? #
  • "you can fool some of the ppl all the time, and all the ppl some of the time, but you can not fool all the ppl all of the time." – lincoln #
  • gore's experiment fails to explain the heat of compression or co2's greater expansion pressure under heat: http://t.co/kVH7vuUU #
  • based on personal observation, a slow moving vehicle symbol should come standard on all toyota prii. #
  • @jrgamlieli it depends on your plan; the base plan does slow after 2gb whereas the high-end plan is 10gb. in reply to jrgamlieli #
  • checking out the gradient app beta by @jumpzero, nice tool for quickly generating css gradients quickly: http://t.co/7yo56Myg #
  • a life saturated by distractions (internet, computers, phones) loses its capacity to wonder. #
  • @peterlombardi haha, nice pouting face. in reply to peterlombardi #
  • amazon takes inspiration from apple: "if you are just building a device you are unlikely to succeed." http://t.co/VNYvInpJ #

  • really loving @testflightapp for pushing out and tracking iOS adhoc builds to testers! #
  • total awesomeness, @ijustine! http://t.co/AMwbOPCM #
  • ppl only brag about the number of emails they receive in order to make themselves sound and feel important. truth is, most are likely spam. #
  • same goes for number of hours worked, which doesn't necessarily mean you're overworked, just inefficient and unproductive. #
  • haha, they make 100 mph on a sportbike sound outrageous, yet 100+ is pretty common :) http://t.co/BUFioRT8 #
  • "global warming" was supposed to mean snowless winters for ski resorts. yet, it's already snowed in alps and whistler: http://t.co/yeKWt2H9 #
  • less arctic ice releases more heat from oceans into space. oceans are cooling more rapidly, now causing global cooling. ice rebuilds after. #
  • @AI_AGW yeah only b/c 1970-2000 was a period of prominent el nino cycles; la nina cycles are becoming more prominent now w/-PDO. try again. in reply to AI_AGW #
  • pure hotness: @DucatiUSA 1199 panigale http://t.co/2or4bS6h #
  • glad to see yet another update (where FB copies twitter) causing outrage amongst facebook users. only means more ppl flee. and FB dies. #

  • @rig0 haha yeah wasn't quite sure what was going on… figured your account was hacked or something. lol in reply to rig0 #
  • @simplySportBike when it looks like the snow is here to stay for the season. :) in reply to simplySportBike #

  • a well-lived, fulfilling life cannot be represented as data. nor should it. #
  • @mike_dawson fb is already heading down the road myspace went down, except more for companies than bands/music. ppl r bored w/it. in reply to mike_dawson #
  • @mike_dawson but based on your tweets you're a huge fan of the network, so your argument is inherently biased. what's the usefulness of it? in reply to mike_dawson #
  • @mike_dawson how is organizing my life's events into this timeline view going to prove beneficial to me, other than some superficial desire? in reply to mike_dawson #
  • @mike_dawson private is one thing, sharing w/rest of the world is another. have we all become so self-absorbed to think ppl want to know? in reply to mike_dawson #
  • @mike_dawson fb was at its prime years ago when it stuck w/what it did best: photo sharing and messaging. now it's a total clusterfuck. in reply to mike_dawson #
  • @mike_dawson yes, but only when ppl *ask* to see those albums rather than "here, look at my life, isn't it amazing" in reply to mike_dawson #
  • @mike_dawson perhaps i see things differently, preferring to discover on my own rather than having it shoved in my face all the time. in reply to mike_dawson #
  • @mike_dawson but i disagree w/the one-stop-shop approach fb is taking on, which leads to half-ass solutions across everything (i.e. google). in reply to mike_dawson #
  • @mike_dawson i'm not sharing is beneficial in many cases, but the majority of fb users use it only as a means to hide behind a virtual self. in reply to mike_dawson #
  • @mike_dawson errr.. "i'm not saying sharing…" lol in reply to mike_dawson #
  • officially checked out for the day. unfortunately it's only mental at this point. #
  • OH: "uncircumcised penises look like they’re wearing little hoodies." #
  • struggling. #

  • the stock market is bleeding: http://t.co/44EtaGI #
  • OH: "i mean shit, look at the DOW right now…it's falling faster than a pair of panties at a JT concert!" #

  • radiation overdose at the airport: http://t.co/aRU6Jk1 #
  • iPad users go to the AppStore for software, not the web, which means the kindle cloud reader is pretty much useless for iOS users. #
