  1. Should a beatnick be clean-shaven or scruffy? Keeping the van dyke, mind. #madmenparty
  2. @pudgenet I cannot hear that.
  3. @pudgenet No wait, there’s no oxygen in that room. Get the fuck out quick!
  4. So @ATTCustomerCare, rep says I can’t unlock my iPhone 4 till Sep 1, I offer to pay to finish contract early, told can only cancel account.
  5. @bdombrow Does AT&T offer them? They were pretty adamant that they would not let me out of the contract except by canceling the account.
  6. @miyagawa I escalated it as far as they were willing to go, at least at that call center.
  7. @miyagawa I would like to do that, but AT&T seems hell-bent on losing me as a customer.
  8. I can only pay early termination & risk losing my number (and be without it for a week). Can’t just pay to end the contract & keep the line
  9. Called again. New rep seems more willing to entertain the early termination fee.
  10. Called back to find out early termination fee. AT&T said even if I terminated Apple insists on the 2 full years. #wha.
  11. Can’t unlock my AT&T iPhone until the contract expires in September. #boo
  12. @schwern I thought it looked familiar. I haven’t been over there in a while.
  13. @tomcoates Think of it this way: It's rare to have awesome people under 40. Over 40, you are more likely to be awesome. #43AndCounting
  14. @Annaleen A petition to at least free up taxpayer-funded articles. wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/pe…
  15. @aaronsw @waxpancake Don’t miss Candle Café. Awesome food. candlecafe.com
  16. @parislemon Identity is such a mess. My iPhone should serve as my identity.
  17. @parislemon I look forward to iOS 7’s addition of an API allowing registered partners can get automatic iOS integration.
