• @davidstarlingm If you have a Mac and an iPhone, you can get track via SMS using TwitterSpy and Growl/Prowl + Adium. It's complicated. in reply to davidstarlingm #
• @ScottSchablow Because it's outrageously priced, and philosophically, I believe in the free un-conference model. in reply to ScottSchablow #
• @SocialSouth Thanks for the reply. I'm glad u tried for free. FWIW, SxSW-Interactive (the analog) is $400 if you pre-register, $550 at gate. in reply to SocialSouth #
• At my favorite sub shop, Lenny's, getting my new favorite sub: the #4 Turkey Sub. #
• A lot of lightning in this storm. Going to unplug while it passes over. #
• A 75yrs old Baptist (unknown what kind of) pastor started preaching about Judgment Day on Duelboard during my last game. It was interesting. #
• RT @spearna: STS-128 is officially set to fly on Aug 25. I'm pumped. #nasa #
• I've been thinking. #Shoals schools need 2 require exams & do away w/ exemptions based on attendance. Stop kids showing up sick. You agree? #
• .@King_Evan True. But my real motivation is more about public health than college prep. I would be [only] OK w/ exemps based ONLY on grades. #
• @ChellaBear Agreed. On Facebook, I just explained why I think so. http://bit.ly/DhiiO I'll sum it up in my next tweet... in reply to ChellaBear #
• An end of term comprehensive test encourages learning that is meaningful. Exemptions encourage short-term good grades to avoid "punishment." #
• @a_askew What woods did they drop him into? I missed that. in reply to a_askew #
• @a_askew I see now. Spoiler alert: apparently Bear will have to survive State Troopers at the end of the episode. I predict editorials. in reply to a_askew #
• Funny. I'll admit, the snapping turtles bring back memories of lifeguarding at Point Mallard. Fished out dozens upon dozens of those things. #
• Ok, well, they didn't show it in the episode, but according to http://tr.im/wJME (w/ Pics) Bear was stopped by Troopers during his exit. #
• .@trimurls I would have used ur service over bit.ly all along if I had known u can get stats 4 URLs trimmed via API. Just get that word out. #
• Does anyone want to offer some free (gratis) expert opinions on IP with respect to sports, for the sake of free (libre) and free (gratis)? #
• How Flickr and/or Time is actively censoring right wing extremists, but not the left wing: http://tr.im/wK5O (Pictures to demonstrate.) #
• @comcastcares Is anyone awake that would email me an itemized view of my bill? This "bundle" for Digital Starter is 2x what I expected. Thx #
• Now this is classic... "He didn't have 20 seconds." Watch this: http://bit.ly/ugx1X #
• @mattmurphyshow How Flickr is actively censoring its users' speech with a politically left slant: http://tr.im/wL40 #
• @ComcastBill Thanks Bill. I'll have to send it later. in reply to ComcastBill #
• Just finished recording the 2nd episode of @FailedUp podcast. No time to edit it yet, though. Have to get up early for volleyball tomorrow. #
• Saw a little bit of history, with the longest (highest scoring) #volleyball set anyone local can remember. 36 to 34. They only play to 25. #
