  1. In re Bilski oral arguments are 63 pages of analogy-hunting: "It was based on horses, for Pete's sake" http://bit.ly/8BgFOi
  2. @leifmadsen not only did the ITSP boat sail 4 years ago, it wasn't all that seaworthy to begin with
  3. Reading #911txts. Who needs Twitter and Facebook when text pages and SMSes live forever, just waiting to be leaked?
  4. Using TextMate for stuff I want to write, and WriteRoom for stuff I need to write. Steve Jobs provides a carrot and a stick
  5. @ichverstehe it's the official VoIP show - we're into it too. SoA > SOA
  6. Receiving a 2nd "@LinkedIn Partner Message" is the fastest way to make me close my account. Learn from Twitter: stay out of the way
  7. I still see people driving with one hand on a cell phone. Going to & from a cave? What would justify changing?
  8. RT @robkroese: Did you know that for the price of a cup of coffee, you can give a homeless child a cup of coffee?
  9. Wow: "[Manulife] confirmed that it uses [Facebook] to investigate clients."
  10. Almost bought Xbox 360, but cheap used units lack HDs. Instead, playing Ruby on my Textmate and ETrade on my Firefox.
  11. Nordstrom display window is advertising the fact that it's not advertising Chrismas ("celebrate one holiday at a time")
  12. There's no substitute for a bartender or barista who reads your mood.
  13. Blown away by how well ETrade handles signup and account transfers. Couldn't ask for clearer process/forms; thx @etradebaby
  14. @ZokaCoffee FWIW, the ham & swiss b'fast sandwich obviously uses quality ingredients, but comes out a bit bland and dry
  15. @obrienmd Sanford Bernstein. Surprised they distinguished between existing and new; inspires confidence, at least compared to others
  16. Impressed: an equity analyst saw Seattle IX bits grew faster in 09 than 08, and asked if it's from existing peers (ie, growth)
  17. @rpheath not I. I have less interest, plus we need to keep the lights on
  18. Andrew at @Tableau: wrapping desktop C++ DLL with Ruby, handling tons of per-user state, EC2 Windows spinup lag, widget usage variance
  19. Hear Andrew Beers from @Tableau cover their Java+Rails stack for hosted data viz. Seattle 6P today http://bit.ly/seacld0911
  20. @bandwidth FWIW, I'd be much more likely to tweet without all the "RT and win!" hoopla (feels forced, unnatural). Product looks really neat
