  1. I must say, Node.js (pronounced "node-jizz" via @ashponders) has been growing on me. Anyway, I think I'm due for a shower.
  2. @TrulyChes @hibrie Okay, but only if they're faffybeans!
  3. @savasavasava Sounds like the watered down PG version of a perfectly good joke.
  4. @hiBrie @trulyches YES!
  5. @SohjSolwin A social network can be defined as any medium in which you must send things to at least 10 people to avoid bad luck.
  6. @jnunemaker Good, because you just got two tickets to the pun show. Don't worry, I don't know what that means either..
  7. @TrulyChes I miss your old twitter name!
  8. "That color doesn't exist in nature." "Sure it does. It's called whorange." Ha, very clever, Men At Work.
  9. @AZVern Part of this balanced breakfast?
  10. @imsvsims Don't forget to add appropriate hashtags to all your tweets! #firstworldproblems
  11. @savasavasava I don't think their comedic styles gel together all that well, even though they both specialize in stupid/absurd.
  12. The sum of what I've eaten today would not quite constitute a "meal." Whoops.
  13. @kgoyette Ouch, dude. cc: @garyvee
  14. I need to work on my copy & paste skills. I mean, shit.
  15. @michaelnugent It all started with a Big Bang. Yeah, even back then your mom was Big.
  16. @gRegorLove The bummer is that RSS is on its way out and isn't explicitly social enough.. People are moving toward FB, Twitter, G+, etc..
  17. @gRegorLove It's just awesome that there's nobody in the middle. If I had a desktop app, it would connect directly to YOUR web server.
  18. @markng Yep, close but not quite.
  19. RSS, as a social network, is interesting. "Follow" friends w/ an RSS reader by subscribing to a URL exposed by their blogging tool of choice
  20. @markng Interesting. I hadn't heard of that. In the wild, is that used cross-domain or just redundancy within a single org?
