  1. Finally caught up with #infsum. Infinite Jest continues to entertain and intrigue.
  2. Only 6% of Scientists are Republicans, Says Pew Poll http://ff.im/-54xmr (via @grahamenglish)
  3. In a hotel room in Deleware. Have been unable to sleep after a misdialed text message three hours ago. Almost caught up with #infsum.
  4. Oakenfold double album, currently $4 - http://bit.ly/17IrF9
  5. It's an Interpol morning.
  6. @fkhatibloo Your family's story would make a popular book right about now. I hope you at least put it in blog form.
  7. Wow, I can't seem to accurately proofread 140 characters. Can't imagine editing a book with 1000+ pages.
  8. Enjoying the world Canadian wheelchair assassins and rampaging feral hamsters: http://tr.im/r8qs #infsum
  9. @duffmcduffee Yes, that's the problem, the vast amount of calm isn't interesting to read about or watch on TV. Extremes draw our attention.
  10. @duffmcduffee Likewise, if unemployment goes back to a 5%, there will still be 1 out of 20 people out of work.
  11. @duffmcduffee For example, while the media hyperventilates about job losses, 17-18 out of 20 are still employed.
  12. @duffmcduffee Good point. I frequently think that we would do well to pay attention to relative calm in many situations instead of extremes.
  13. Another Microsoft ad failure: the "Spork of Genius" logo - http://tr.im/r7eI
  14. @aeryck If you haven't already, check out http://justperception.net/ and http://twitter/justperception for more reading along those lines.
  15. Just read the intro to Infinite Jest, 10th anniversary edition by Dave Eggers: http://bit.ly/6vEqm (I'm on page 105, 1st ed.) #infsum
  16. Making fun of meditation is like making fun of broccoli.
  17. @jsedwick This void is accessible through my forehead. It's infinite and scary, so I try to cover it with books and other distractions.
  18. Looking forward to starting Infinite Jest tonight. Filling the void this weekend with 200+/- pages by Monday. Also, Hamlet. #infsum
  19. Attempting to implement a meditation pattern... again, starting with 20 minutes twice a day. Focusing on breath today. #openpractice
  20. Learning more about David Foster Wallace from the March New Yorker article, *The Unfinished* - http://bit.ly/15Ln8f
