@k_payne listen more closely. The dust bro's have massive Beatles influences. Most obvious tho: bit.ly/K5113A vs bit.ly/L7q5n3 about 1 hour ago via YoruFukurou in reply to k_payne
It's awesome how Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene and Chemical Brothers all sound like the Beatles, but none of them sound like eachother. about 3 hours ago via YoruFukurou
If you know where "motel row" is in Costa Mesa, this is where I am. I don't think it's the highlight of Orange County. :D 2:09 AM Jun 3rd via YoruFukurou
2am in Costa Mesa. Sad to be miss @TheVillaSFO party, friends' other parties in SF and spent my night with #WCOC'ers + kareoke - but v happy 2:08 AM Jun 3rd via YoruFukurou
This weekend I will mostly be in Orange County's fashionable Costa Mesa. Whoop-di-whoop for me, I guess. 9:37 AM Jun 1st via YoruFukurou
@tobiaspeggs thanks, will do! 11:48 PM May 31st via YoruFukurou in reply to tobiaspeggs
@ethitter lol! Yeah but I don't *really* know you - not yet anyway. I also remembered I do know @nickducoff in Boston too. 5:38 PM May 31st via YoruFukurou in reply to ethitter
Of all the forthcoming travel I have, I'm looking least forward to visiting Boston. I'm there a week and I don't know anyone who lives there 11:32 AM May 31st via YoruFukurou
@lolasoto @acoomans I can't co-work tomorrow - too busy sadly with calls and meetings. Have fun! 9:29 PM May 30th via YoruFukurou in reply to lolasoto

Spent the afternoon baking a lovely apple and almond tart, made with a fuck-load of sliced apples I had to slice by hand. #OriginalGangster 4:58 PM May 27th via YoruFukurou
@MagicSauceMedia T-shirt designs. Great results. 1:01 PM May 27th via TweetCaster for Android in reply to MagicSauceMedia
At the mall. I hate the mall. This is why I never come here. 12:56 PM May 27th via TweetCaster for Android
Its most embarrassing when you spell the word "intelligent" incorrectly. 9:48 PM May 26th via YoruFukurou
@hermioneway I've had nothing but great success with 99Designs. Just be sure to leave LOTS of ongoing feedback as the competition progresses 4:32 PM May 26th via web in reply to hermioneway
@kosso or they're having sex up against said balcony door??? #thinklatterally 4:19 PM May 26th via YoruFukurou in reply to kosso
@simonspaul my argument is that that doesn't work. As PR + interest in your app builds you loose interest of those not catered to. 4:19 PM May 26th via YoruFukurou in reply to simonspaul
@meganberry I get what ur saying though, shipping is key. Great execution is when you ship regularly + cover all the basis/computability 4:17 PM May 26th via YoruFukurou in reply to meganberry
