Twitter Updates for 2010-02-07

• I guess it's prudent not to drive to the Shoals today, so I'll have to watch online: http://bit.ly/d32SUq Hopefully the ice will melt by PM. #
• @MelBel711 Where are you driving, and is there a lot of ice on the road? in reply to MelBel711 #
• @MelBel711 What road are you on, and is there a lot of ice? Thanks. in reply to MelBel711 #
• "Why do you Baptists preach . . once saved always saved? Because I'm resting in *His* power that holds onto me." -@GraceLifeShoals #TCC10 #
• @walter25 I have been using DropBox for a long time. It stands out not just for online backup, but for group sync- with really cool mashups. in reply to walter25 #
• @brightsides Why would you want to do that? in reply to brightsides #
• @walter25 To sync iPhoto with what? in reply to walter25 #
• @walter25 I think DropBox would work for that. An iPhoto Library should appear as a folder to it, but it should work. in reply to walter25 #
• @walter25 Oh. I don't know anywhere that lets you store that much online for free. If just local Macs, I love Seagate Free Agent USB drives. in reply to walter25 #
• @jeremyflint I've found your problem: http://bit.ly/aazkrz No seriously. The iPhone uses the cell towers to help figure out the coordinates. in reply to jeremyflint #
• @BrianTweeted @ckamel Can you tweet a picture of this "cone crosswalk?" in reply to BrianTweeted #
• @grahamhancock Fact Check: The IQ scores listed on that chart r bogus! Based on a liberal professor's algorithm & non-psychometrist testing. in reply to grahamhancock #
• @grahamhancock Even w/ new census data the algorithm is still bogus. IQ does not = a math+reading score multiplied by a "race coefficient." in reply to grahamhancock #
• So if I know you in person, & follow you on twitter, but you don't follow me back, or worse, un-follow, what am I supposed to infer exactly? #
• @ikepigott I suppose that's possible, but unlikely unless they're a social media wiz. And IMHO, without stating such, it's perhaps rude. 2¢. in reply to ikepigott #
• How does ABCFam air Secret Life of Teenager (horribly bad & wrong worldview) back to back with Make It Or Break It (reasonably redemptive)? #
• @candacecbure It's striking the difference in messages about sex btwn Secret Life & MioBi. What's the inside story on the Summer speech? :) in reply to candacecbure #
• @StubbornRooster B/c MIOBI is actually good TV. But I have no excuse 4 Secret Life. It was on, & I was 2 disinterested 2 change the channel. in reply to StubbornRooster #
• @candacecbure Really? Well, praise be to God for His allowing you to share a (small) part of His truth, through your character on cable TV! in reply to candacecbure #
• @StubbornRooster It is, and like Stick It, it has a surprisingly good message. in reply to StubbornRooster #
• How is this nonsense FUD on TechMeme? http://bit.ly/b8btmf If anything, it's less of a problem than most, because tools work AS IS for some. #
• I think daringfireballwithcomments.net is a blatant example of how NOT 2 use RSS. Since DF is (c), I'm pretty sure it's not fair use either. #
• @_SarahWilder I thought you LOST fans called being utterly confused entertainment. in reply to _SarahWilder #
• Foursquare or Gowalla? #
• @FrankRamblings I didn't realize that Foursquare works on iPod Touches. How? Gowalla is the one that doesn't care about your GPS coordinates in reply to FrankRamblings #
• @FrankRamblings Ah, ok. So it uses Skyhook. Impressive. @StubbornRooster Gowalla is a 4square competitor. Identical ideas done differently. in reply to FrankRamblings #
• @StubbornRooster Haha. Thanks. It's not so much a decision as it is a poll of people in the area. in reply to StubbornRooster #
• @FrankRamblings Personally, I like the "atmosphere" of foursquare better, but I'm curious to see what locals are using. in reply to FrankRamblings #
• I think I'm going to borrow this one from @ikepigott - What should I know tomorrow? If I were answering, I'd say only 2 weeks until the TCC. #
• @StephenWolfe @jeremyflint Thanks. I'm thinking I'll do both, since it looks like there's not that many using either in my area, for now. in reply to StephenWolfe #
• @StephenWolfe @jeremyflint Which means I'll be completely useless in shifting the balance between the 2. I'll leave that to others, I guess. #
• @ikepigott I think weathermen invented that day, to shift the blame off them and onto a clueless fauna. in reply to ikepigott #
• @Ms_Library_Lady Your third tweet! Keep it up. :) in reply to Ms_Library_Lady #
• @ikepigott But there is some value in "grooming" yourself 4 followers- so twitter can be a conversation. W/o them it is a feature-poor blog. in reply to ikepigott #
• A problem w/ Star Wars being SO epic- John Williams's main title will always elicit SW imagery, overshadowing how awesome the song is alone. #
• .@grahamhancock They're doing OK lately. New PHP code. New layout. Home Feed almost as good as c. 2007. Except: the new (no) privacy system. #
• @davidstarlingm A friend n Mobile tried this & stalled. She waited 4 water 2 recede but it didn't. She swam out after it reached her window. in reply to davidstarlingm #
• I'm at Taco Bell (Beltline) (, ). http://4sq.com/9V0f6W #
• RT @HSVTimes 15y/o boy shot in head at Discovery Middle School. Paramedics say he's in "extremely critical condition." http://bit.ly/bSEZg9 #
• Email from LaTisha King, Madison City Schools: 15y/o male student was shot by student. Shooter in custody. Students will be let out on time. #
• Questions that need answering. As the media inquire and authorities investigate, I hope they'll look at 1) What time did the student arrive? #
• 2) If the shooter arrived on time, then why did he delay? What warning signs might have existed that could have tipped teachers off? #
• 3) If the shooter checked in, or left and returned, what was the given reason? Do late check-ins need to be re-evaluated for security? #
• 4) How did the shooter acquire the firearm? Is better education about gun-safety needed for the community? #
• 5) Was there an ongoing issue- emotional, mental, or social- that should have been noticed and counseled? #
• It appears to be so, but also in need of answering: RT @anothertomorrow Did the shooter only choose to shoot 1 person? #
