  • @jewelia Congrats on foocamp! When I first read your tweet, I thought you had to be in Sebastopol by 8 AM. That wouldn't have been good… in reply to jewelia #
  • @sophia_tseng He's your cousin? I should say hi to him. 🙂 in reply to sophia_tseng #
  • @jennism Same in Berkeley. If you don't get a check by a certain date, you can withhold 10% of your deposit from a rent payment instead. in reply to jennism #
  • @tessalau I hope you don't zone out *too* much while driving home. in reply to tessalau #

  • At #chm watching Bob Taylor, who funded Engelbart, oversaw ARPAnet, started PARC's comp sci lab, and founded DEC SRC. A giant in tech. #
  • "There are four people that claim to be the father of the Internet. What does that say of the morals of the mother?" — Bob Taylor #chm #

  • For 25 years, Fry's had an annual sale: 6-pack of Coke for 99c (or 12 for $1.98). This year, it's finally gone up: a 12-pack costs $2.25. #
  • If Fry's had actually kept up with inflation for 25 years, then a 12-pack would cost $3.90 instead of $2.25. #
  • @edchi Way to work the keynote circuit! Should be a good conference. in reply to edchi #
  • @msbernst That's funny, I think I'm posting on Twitter more and more. Maybe we'll meet in the middle. in reply to msbernst #
