RT @clickryan: RT @Merlene – The Muppet Show’s 10 Weirdest Moments http://tinyurl.com/la59jr (via @JulieTyios) – thanks, an excellent start #
there are lots of Twitter ranking sites out there that say we’re hot (on Twitter). Which ones do we actually believe? #
RT @sogrady: OH: “What’s the definition of an Australian? An Irishman who got caught.” #
RT @giovanni: Can you use $100,000? I’ve posted enough hints on the http://budurl.com/eot100k website fr contestants to start making videos. #
my voice is rusty this morning; let’s pretend I sound like Lauren Bacall (minus the cigarettes) #
Listening to Carol Alm present on “Your near perfect performance”, a women@sun event. #
Common mistake is to assume that, because you know something well, it must be obvious to others as well. But you may actually be unique. #
“without talent… Repetitive training creates burnout, confusion, frustration” #
“we don’t expect Labrador retrievers to act like Border Collies” #
Talents = yearnings, rapid learning, satisfaction, exceptional performance #
@giovanni I disagree – msft could create trust from inside. Would take time and be a challenge, but by no means impossible. in reply to giovanni #
“focus on yours strengths, not weaknesses” – seems so obvious, why do school systems get it so wrong? #
Now I need a FB setting for “don’t tell me anyone’s quiz results, game stuff, etc. EVER AGAIN – because I DON’T CARE”. Stop wasting my time. #
starting a dance class next week: Bollywood West – bollywood and indian dance classes (Denver & Boulder, Colorado) http://bit.ly/qksWI #

RT @pizzocalabro: http://bit.ly/TC0Ee – Perhaps even more than separate of church & state, the world needs separation of church & sex. #
…and I’m about to stop following everyone who auto-tweets about foursquare, whatever the hell it is. ENOUGH ALREADY. Give me substance! #
And, BTW, for anyone who hasn’t noticed: the bitch is most definitely back. #

@ThinGuy somehow I don’t think the Men of SunRay need protection from cougars in reply to ThinGuy #
@thepartycow you underestimate my speed of reading in reply to thepartycow #
WTF, Dowd? Good col, except “But partly due to the Internet, the standards of behavior in this new country are terrible” http://bit.ly/uPhPe #
crap. The FB apps seem to have figured out how to circumvent the “Hide [app]” setting. This is going to drive me off FB or to drop friends. #
listening to music I enjoy on YouTube – Neri per caso – Sentimento pentimento [Live Festivalbar] http://bit.ly/bdcE0 #
RT @TheOnion: Would-Be Burglar Killed With Sword http://ow.ly/15Pu9Z – I actually know a real-life story like this, tho no one died. #

Updating Sun Video http://bit.ly/19B0bm with a bunch of newly-translated videos – cool stuff on grid engine, HPC #
there are good days & bad days. This one is not particularly good, but, being a Thursday, should be destined for improvement. #
“Have you been a good girl, Jane?
And why should I want to be bad…?
– And should I be likely to say if I had?”

Woke early as usual, but it’s Saturday so I can laze in bed with a cup of coffee and do what I bloody well please. Which is nice! #
@ThinGuy you guys are a one-family soccer empire! in reply to ThinGuy #
From Neal Stephenson’s “Anathem” – “The Powers That Be would not suffer others to be in stories of their own unless they were fake stories.. #
…that had been made up to motivate them. People who couldn’t live without story had been driven [out of mainstream society]… #
All others had to look somewhere outside of work for a feeling that they were part of a story, which I guess was why [they] were #
so concerned with sports, and with religion. How else could you see yourself as part of an adventure?” #
RT @angadsingh: Why a Geek Will Steal Your Girlfriend in 2008 http://bit.ly/4mKIgv #
