@erinjo Been thinking more about this. There's a place for a kind of Chuck Palahniuk / Kurt Vonnegut of tech. Would be fun to read.
@natematias Thank you for visiting! Really nice to see you.
@stef and I've just realized you were the one that posted it. Thank you!! Now onto the next post on my list ..
Introducing Stripe UK: https://stripe.com/blog/introducing-stripe-uk Very exciting. Congrats <a href="http://twitter.com/andyy">@andyy</a> & co!
I love this design for a portfolio, including acknowledgements. And I'm a little envious of the work, too: http://hypatia.media.mit.edu:3000/
Always fun & thought-provoking hanging out with <a href="http://natematias.com/portfolio/">@natematias</a>. Great conversation about media, the news & digital. It'd been too long!
Oh, hey, I'm on the front of /r/startups this evening. Good evening, Reddit! http://www.reddit.com/r/startups
@erinjo Some of Douglas Coupland's books fall into that category, but mostly it's about its effect on us. eg, Microserfs.
RallyCall: special phone numbers to create instant conference calls for emergency situations. Nice. http://www.rally-call.com/
Don't be openly gay at the Olympics, agrees the IOC. Disgusting. http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2013/08/13/russia_and_the_ioc_agree_athletes_and_spectators_sho...
@sarahdessen By far the biggest thing is to add more RAM to minimize the amount it uses the hard disk.
@sarahdessen Boring, but you could reinstall the OS. Defrag sort of works ish. Also, if you're up for it, add more RAM!
@shanley Would you be up for meeting with #indieweb folks in SF for dinner sometime soonish? Interesting discussion. @kevinmarks
@celiaka Marco Polo, Web of Fear and Enemy of the World.
Doctor Who is 50 years old. Hopefully the practice of wiping master tapes / media to free up space has ended.
Excited that 3 full #DoctorWho stories, + more episodes & clips, have been recovered. Infuriating that they were lost to begin with.
@sarahdessen It's okay. I figure in a few years I can justify Elton John style shock wigs, which will make it all worthwhile.
Hairdresser: "Oh, your hair is *very* thin." Then spent uncomfortable length of time shaving my ears. Personal hair crisis.
@tilgovi You may find that the polarity of your neutron flow is temporarily reversed. Nothing to worry about.
I've enjoyed working from this Berkeley office, but now it could be yours to rent. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/off/4001633467.html
Hey, London! A great interaction designer I know is looking for a new gig. Any leads you can point me to?
Spooked by Google's assertion that their users have no expectation of privacy? Check out Mailpile: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mailpile-taking-e-mail-back
@fdevillamil @kevinmarks @t Automatic sync can be useful though. Wouldn't want to eliminate that entirely.
I've got some hard things to do ahead of me. But not tonight. Tonight I've got the lights low & the music on.
@kevinmarks @t Geolocation would be a much better heuristic. In an auditorium or a cafe? Don't sync the world.
