  1. Is anybody besides me willing to argue that The A-Team was more culturally significant in the eighties than Michael Jackson?
  2. The posturing of a typical white middle class 19-yr-old: the boys are trying too hard to be tough & the girls aren't trying hard enough.
  3. Fuck you, Visa, and your 3 percent "foreign transaction fee."
  4. Finally got around to reading "The Raw Shark Texts" -- seems derivative of Murakami's "Hardboiled Wonderland" and Jeff Noon's "Vurt."
  5. @avantgame Madrid is lovely that time of year. Chilly maybe, but blue sky and clear. Unlike tomorrow, when I'll be there and it's 98.
  6. 38 seconds barefoot on the beach in Barcelona and I have blisters. Red little blisters on the bottom tips of ten toes.
  7. RIP The Captain from Captain and Tennille.
  8. @ibogost It's the one with sesame seeds, right?
  9. That 1st one is the opensource Micropolis/SimCity. & then there's the Naked Game (exposing code for Pong, line by line): http://bit.ly/eVryT
  10. Following #thatcamp from abroad, I'm thinking of 2 examples of computer code for totally uninitiated students to "read": http://bit.ly/9eubH
  11. I was just now thinking that Barcelona might be the most "European" city in all of Spain, but then I remembered Santiago de Compostela.
  12. Offline for 24 hours and I now have 212 #thatcamp tweets to catch-up on.
  13. Onto Barcelona tomorrow, where I'll catch up with the college students whose den mother I'll be for the next five weeks.
  14. Archiving hashtag conversations (eg #dh09): set-up RSS feed *beforehand* via search on Twitter & then subscribe w/ offline reader, eg TBird.
  15. The web seems dead, a series of time-outs. Is this a billion people googling Michael Jackson at once?
  16. @ibogost I've never had trouble porting my mobile number to new carriers and new states.
  17. @briancroxall The timeline projects sound great - Wish I could be @ #thatcamp to collaborate. Moretti influenced me too: http://bit.ly/dbAGQ
  18. @evsweep I heard. La gente de aqui son devastados.
  19. Discovered that even though the ATM in Spain swallowed my card & never gave me money, Wachovia still withdrew the funds from my account.
  20. on the Ave from madrid to seville. it makes the accela seem like a conestoga.
