  1. There was a white supremacist named Eugène Terre’Blanche? Wow. I read that as “true-gene white-earth.” Wikipedia says it’s no nom de plume.
  2. Train STOPPING j.mp/KQ3Gez #comic
  3. @brianshaler Lol. Indeed!
  4. Talk show host: “I’m not sure that God is like Kim Jong Il.” Hitchens: “Well, ask Kim Jong Il. He has a different opinion.”
  5. @curtism …Whereas presumably you were genuinely motivated to help me & anyone else with the problem, regardless of karma points
  6. @curtism I suspect the game mechanics and ostensibly rule-not-quality-motivated mods kind of push it towards overall lower quality :-/
  7. @curtism It’s the most organized and helpful thing I’ve seen on SO in the last few weeks!
  8. @curtism You’re a good man.
  9. Occupiers’ megaphone is saying it was all to “stop one jaywalker.” Guess you had to be there?
  10. Maybe 10+ cop cars between the Fed and Ferry buildings. #SF
  11. @aprilzero Random, but I think there was a font called Brassiere that used the “word” Labtop in its specimen. Clearly, I’m scarred for life
  12. The Facebook Camera app seems like a pleasant result of iOS and Metro cross-pollination. Note the way albums are shown: Pure Metro.
  13. Products can be 90%+ good and yet inspire hatred via a few annoying quirks. Like Valve’s Steam.
  14. @zeelot3k Papoose Pampering Appliance?
  15. @compass Yeah, I think we chatted about this a while back. Anyway, FTR, I’m using: gem 'compass', '~> 0.12.rc'
  16. @compass Not sure why I need to do this separately from importing compass (in edge): @import "compass/css3/user-interface"
  17. @shanley Stop this! It’s sad! :)
  18. @jacobrosenthal Sometimes I meet people who don’t know what jock jams or The Hey Song are and I’m like… >_<
