  1. @metaphorge Yeah. That gboard exists on a continuum of disposable-ness. Sadly, even iPods must meet the landfill. As mine will...
  2. @metaphorge Like, I feel seriously bad for using the free plastic forks/spoons at my job, instead of bringing washable metal ones.
  3. @metaphorge You have a point. I just hate seeing more plastic disposable things being made. Maybe it's my own guilt bothering me, though.
  4. Seriously, I felt ill seeing this. Such a waste of tangible resources for something that will end up in a landfill. http://bit.ly/8R0dsB
  5. Surely a sign of the apocalypse: RT @hochmann RT @mashable: Gboard: A Keyboard Just for Gmail Users - http://bit.ly/8R0dsB
  6. RT @agent139: More ppl should come visit my reality. It's nice here.

  14. @cratylus ... but that could be a generational thing. I've read Pynchon's V. Never made it through Gravity's Rainbow.
  15. @cratylus DFW is often compared to Pynchon, but ppl say DFW's work is humane and funny. I def. prefer DFW to Pynchon...
  16. RT @mrteacup: "Its attractiveness and considerable value are, by extension, my attractiveness and considerable value."
  17. RT @WilliamHarryman: New Device Desirable, Old Device Undesirable | The Onion - America's Finest News Source http://ff.im/-cokJO
  18. Missing @_wsa, who is in Chicago, a great deal. I like solitude up to a point, but after that point I become lonely, tired, and inert.
  19. RT @cecilmenk: Each day average American spends 8.5 hrs at computer, 7 hrs sleeping, 6 hrs working, 1 hr eating, half hours commuting, 4 ...
