  1. @oJbricksquad @laurenpate I don't know, y'all @ed me into your chain.
  2. @btp Would you be willing to give the @btp twitter handle back to me? I'd like to start using it again.
  3. @oJbricksquad @laurenpate I don't know who I am, the search for self is a long and winding road?
  4. @davidmurr A little. But I'm still alive and well, hope all is well with you. :)
  5. Also, I apparently have problems with periods on this account. Out, out damn'd spot!
  6. I think my avatar is older than my car.

  8. And now it hits me that "Cast Iron" really is 21 years old. Fuck.
  9. @hotdogsladies Superchunk @ Catal Huyuk in Houston, 1993. Best live show I've ever attended, bar none.
  10. @CcSteff I read this as "floor cheetos," which is mostly just a recipe for orange floors.
  11. Rest in peace, Steve.
  12. As interesting as Google+ is, it's just not worth the risk for me to use. Thanks, @nazgul, for articulating the reasons why so well.
  13. Posting under a pseudonym gives you the power to say things you cannot say under you own name. That name's reputation is EVERYTHING.
  14. I find @nazgul's arguments particularly compelling since I have been operating under pseudonyms on the internet for the last 3 years.
  15. RT @nazgul: My analysis of the arguments for and against pseudonyms on Google+ (or *any* social network) http://j.mp/pJC2PO
  16. @markzero Chronologically or sense of humor?
  17. @markzero You'll never get my age out of me! NEVER!
  18. Final post at Nobody Wants a Stylus: nobodywantsastyl.us/archive/107/fin. Thanks for reading!
  19. I had no idea my wife felt so strongly about xterm > Terminal.
