Somebody’s missing the point.

Tomorrow (via banananne)

Here’s a better plan: Don’t make ANY mistakes tomorrow. Why set your sights on mediocrity when you could try to actually have one good day this week when you don’t get yelled at by your boss or your ex-wife doesn’t call to tell you she still hasn’t received this month’s alimony check and she knows what game you’re playing and she doesn’t appreciate it.

On the way home we saw a bulldozer, and these are sadly the only shots I got of my costume. I was #1. I was happy with it~ a vintage gold sequined leotard, some gold lame tights, and giant number 1, how can you go wrong with those ingredients?

Mat & me @ Reddit Halloween party:
The Reddit Halloween party was so fun. Great costumes, fantastic band, free Fang Bangers (a punch with True Blood and vodka and some other tasty tasty brain-hammering ingredients), fun fun.

Twitter Serves Up Ideas From Its Users

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:34:00 -0700

Twitter Serves Up Ideas From Its Users:

SAN FRANCISCO — Companies big and small monitor Twitter to find out what their customers like and what they want changed. Twitter does the same. It started two years ago as a bare-bones service, offering little more than the ability to post 140-character messages. Then, it outsourced its idea generation to its users. The company watches how people use the service and which ideas catch on. Then its engineers turn the ideas into new features.

— New York Times 10/26/2009

Oh yeah. Well if you’re so smart, New York Times, then how come I’ve already been using Twitter for three years? Huh? It’s pretty cool that I was using Twitter for a year before it even existed, isn’t it? Or maybe you’re just wrong. Horribly, horribly, embarrassingly wrong.

Come on. I didn’t bother reading anything after the second paragraph because when you fuck up that badly, everything else you say is suspect.

And then there’s this. Like I said, I haven’t read the story because of its aforementioned factual challenges, but it seems, based on it having the exact same premise, that the NYT could have just linked to Steven Levy’s latest piece in Wired, instead of just copying the subject matter. But of course Levy’s piece gets its Twitter genesis facts right. In the very first sentence, no less.

So, you know, maybe they didn’t want that.

We spent the weekend in Yosemite. We came across two bears on the trail; the second was only about 25 feet of us and was completely unafraid of humans, not paying any attention to our shouts or tantrums. We also saw a rattlesnake at much closer range than I’ve ever wanted to see one. It was rather creepy. But mostly it was just great. Harper made the best of a wilderness birthday dinner, bringing candles for my brownie cake, and we just generally had a wonderful, relaxing weekend in the wilderness. Happy birthday to me.
