Congress talk more stoopid than seven years ago? sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2012/05/2… via @SunFoundation 12:17 PM May 22nd via Twitter for Mac
@brianboyer @mattstiles et. al. Congrats guys! Looking forward to stealing all the awesome ideas you come up with. 3:02 PM May 21st via Twitter for Mac
@myersnews Within the last week, I think at least 5 of us. But next week, same people may be off reporting, building a mobile app, etc. 1:38 PM May 21st via Twitter for iPhone in reply to myersnews
@myersnews Not dedicated. Most of the team can build news apps, but can do other things as well. Less specialized, more integrated. 1:12 PM May 21st via Twitter for iPhone in reply to myersnews
@mariemcintosh Oh, not at all! I'm just a mean person by nature. 12:34 PM May 17th via Twitter for Mac in reply to mariemcintosh
@mariemcintosh Dude, I'm in the office, finishing work. They don't let me eat. It's part of my contract. 12:32 PM May 17th via Twitter for Mac in reply to mariemcintosh
@mariemcintosh That's only my cover, nemesis. Obviously the only thing that keeps me up at night is thinking of ways to defeat you. 12:30 PM May 17th via Twitter for Mac in reply to mariemcintosh
What do flying, laser-eyed unicorns have to do with journalism? So glad you asked: baycitizen.org/blogs/sandbox/… 12:27 PM May 17th via Twitter for Mac
@mattwynn @coulterjones Select count(happy_people) from office where beer = False. Result: 0. BOOM. 10:13 AM May 17th via Twitter for Mac
@mattwynn Because we can't drink it in the office. DOWN WITH BEER! 10:09 AM May 17th via Twitter for Mac
Dude, @niranstop, you guys haven't updated in seven days! And I know Niran hasn't stopped. I'm counting on you for entertainment! 7:52 AM May 10th via Twitter for Mac
@sarahduke Exactly. If you treat it like a classification problem, ML is perfect. We've been looking at it as outlier detection. 3:55 PM May 8th via Twitter for Mac
@sarahduke You know the hardest part? Actually deciding what qualifies as interesting. It's a lot harder to formalize than I thought. 3:41 PM May 8th via Twitter for Mac
Thanks for the love, @prismatic, @bradfordcross. Yo CAR geeks: Check out these thoughts on scalable Big J: prismatic.squarespace.com/blog/2012/5/8/… 11:31 AM May 8th via Twitter for Mac

Awesome. Visualize Gephi graphs with sigma.js: sigmajs.org via @petewarden 9:07 PM Apr 9th via Twitter for Mac
@kennethreitz Thanks! 1:46 PM Apr 6th via Twitter for Mac
@anderseri Yeah, I definitely hear you. We're counting on a horizontal scaling approach to handle peak traffic. That'll be a good test. 11:17 AM Apr 6th via Twitter for Mac
@anderseri But for us, memcached is it. I wouldn't set up a regular box that way, but it's giving us great performance on Heroku stack. 11:11 AM Apr 6th via Twitter for Mac
