  1. MJ has certainly pushed Iran out of the headlines. You don't suppose...?
  2. Twitter Charts seems is getting snipped by Yahoo again temporarily. Should be back on line relatively soon. #xefer
  3. @gruber you don't address the "ugly business" of Jobs moving to a state where he can get a liver faster than others who were waiting longer
  4. Arquette's soliloquy in "True Romance" must be an homage to a favorite movie of mine "Badlands" same voice-over, same Orffian Musica Poetica
  5. Google Wave cast as an implementation of Xanadu: http://tinyurl.com/klxsx7. This is the most insightful comment I've seen on this project.
  6. @waxpancake I guess I'm doing even better because this meta-meta-commentary is the first I've heard of it...
  7. @robotwisdom "Natural Born Killers"?
  8. Nice: the *great* documentary "Dig!" http://www.imdb.com/title/t... is available at Hulu for free: http://www.hulu.com/watch/6...
  9. @surfdiva not intentionally; just a vehicle for trying out Pipes and Charts. For me, the programming equivalent of doing a crossword puzzle.
  10. English would be a lot cooler if we had kept the Ðð #eth and Þþ #thorn
  11. Who's with me?! No one apparently: http://bit.ly/33FJ5r
  12. #infsum - http://bit.ly/K7Uje DFW Infinite Jest Wiki
  13. #infsum - can anything worth saying about this book be said in 140 - count(#infsum) characters?
  14. Wolfram is notorious for not managing the perception of his over-promising and under-delivering.
  15. Is http://newzonia.com just http://zombo.com 2.0?
  16. In #infinitejest p. 828, DFW uses the word "tall" adverbially with 3-Ls as in "a tallly insubstantial ghostish figure". How droll....
  17. @seanr1978: This should (finally) work again: http://www.xefer.com/twitte.... Sorry it didn't work for you the first time :)
  18. Pipes is really great stuff. Yahoo was very accommodating. I hope this environment remains after any acquisition that may occur...
  19. Twitter Charts is back on line after getting snipped off by Yahoo. They have suggested an approach that should keep it from getting limited
  20. Yahoo cut-off the Pipe temporarily because of too many requests. I'll have to try and tweak it so it makes larger-grained requests.
