  1. Intro to Objectivist-C, the programming language I used to love in college: fdiv.net/2012/04/01/obj…
  2. @realjohngreen Wanted to say thanks for getting to experience such a moving story, so I've sent a small donation to This Star Won't Go Out.
  3. @realjohngreen Glad I finally had time to read my copy of TFIOS I received when we heard you and Hank talk in NOLA. As expected, great.
  4. @InfiniteBetsy Happy birthday! Have a birthday song: youtube.com/watch?v=LxYXcv…
  5. @arepty It's from Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. When you test myObject, you may change its value through the observation!
  6. @macguitar Truth. I'd never go to Malibu - I heard he owns that place!
  7. William Gibson's metaphor for jet lag in Pattern Recognition wholly apt: my soul is still tethered in Spain, my body in the Miami airport.
  8. @johnathonbrock no spoilers! Don't tell us if Loki is the bad guy, the Avengers have a near break up fight, or there's an epic end battle!
  9. It begins! #TEDMED twitter.com/evands/status/…
  10. #TEDMED ho!
  11. @rgov Inactivation of feline calcivirus is 86-88% in that range after 1 minute exposure. Of course, that's direct exposure, not a stomach.
  12. @rgov Yeah; you said liquor so I assumed 80 proof, which is standard for most liquors. Wine is more like 20-25 proof; beer 8-20.
  13. @rgov @tqbf No clinical studies have been done; bench research (….nlm.nih.gov.libproxy.tulane.edu:2048/pubmed/16443090) suggests 93.7% kill w/ 1 minute of 80 proof exposure.
  14. @boredzo Thanks!
  15. @JohnCFalkenberg Thanks!
  16. On the plus side, awesome birthday is still awesome. I reclaim my life tomorrow after this huge exam.
  17. *sigh* Why would you schlep your iPad to a Genius Bar & leave a nasty review that "Apple couldn't fix it," rather than email the developer?
  18. Can I rant about how frustrating App Store reviews are? Oh, you're tired of that one? Nevermind…
  19. @we135b If it works for you, great :) The evidence doesn't back presbyopia exercises, but all that matters for you is your own experience!
  20. @we135b No problem :)
