  • Hail, hail! And, gone already … #
  • Well, that was pretty absurd. #
  • And … a little more? #
  • (Thanks for joining me for this blow by blow …) #
  • So, let me get it right: iphone 3.0 _will_ support bluetooth KBs but only app by app not system wide? That’s silly. #
  • Worf: “Swimming is too much like … _bathing_” #
  • st:tng was really corny. but, you know, it still is a thing. #
  • Better? Have a weekly “power-down” day, w/o gadgets & c. RT @MayorSamAdams Turn Out the Lights for Earth Hour! http://tinyurl.com/cp2892 #
  • Pick a day to be in sync with the natural cycle of light and dark, and use off-grid resources to reset psychologically and physically. #
  • @danielrose Whoa. Deja vu! in reply to danielrose #
  • @plutopsyche They update those things all the time. What’s annoying was the switch from MLA in undergrad to APA in grad. Silly differences. in reply to plutopsyche #
  • @plutopsyche Oh. I misread that. Yeah, that is odd. APA’s “retrieved from X on Y” seems important: where, when and what version. in reply to plutopsyche #
  • @plutopsyche Probably, though, for academic journals and things, they’re right that the URL I use may not be useful for you … and … in reply to plutopsyche #
  • @plutopsyche I bet people had trouble figuring out that what in the address is necessary or not; whether or not, and which ?foo=bar needed. in reply to plutopsyche #
  • surprising how the whole magdalene as priestess of isis thing still sticks in my craw. there’s scholarship and then there’s fantasy, damn it #
  • There’s just so many layers to how wrong it is. #
  • Pointing to two threads coming out of a rats nest, saying, “See it’s the same string!” But, not bothering to examine many threads inside. #
  • And, yet, I know I make intuitive connections at times that must seem the same to others as this seems to me … #
  • but, when i look in the rats nest and see the thread ends aren’t connected, though they share characteristics and proximity … #
  • but someone willing to sew with broken thread, it seems sisyphean; and, sisyphean to explain it to someone that treats fiction as fact. #
  • it’s like opposite sides of a paradigm boundary, where the explanation of one sounds like nonsense to the other, and visa versa #
  • but, why invent a new, different story with the name of a story that’s already deep and rich? Invent a new story, give it a new name! #
  • Of course, the some of the “new” story has been told enough that it seems plausible through repetition … which makes it complicated. #
  • Ugh. I’m ranting again. #
  • (What? On the Internet? How can this be?) #
  • But, it’s not like I don’t re-tell some things in new ways with new meanings. So why does it bother me so much? #
  • @tonydk12 If you’re really tight, just stop making payments. Use it until they come for it. (Just don’t store anything in it at night.) in reply to tonydk12 #
  • After 10 years, there are 3,000 items in Everquest not yet discovered by players … everquest … http://tinyurl.com/db4u9n #
  • Someone at instantaction has confirmed, GarageGames bought the IP from Vivendi/Activision. How cool is that? Very cool, I think. #
  • With all the cathartic tar and feathering, let’s not get distracted by the sideshow and forget to change the system, okay? #
  • Whoa. IBM might buy SUN. #
  • Next, the moon and stars … #
  • “Goodbye and godspeed, my magnificent Spacebat.” http://tinyurl.com/c99o7t #
  • @joguldi baby nature’s teething pains in reply to joguldi #
  • @ursonate I hear IBM is trying to buy them. in reply to ursonate #
  • The artificial scarcity of competative tv scheduling is so last century. #
