Safe journey, Jason. I'll look forward to hearing good things from Vermont.
Replying to @savasavasava
Yay! Nice to see them both looking so content. :)
Replying to @savasavasava
They are total love monkeys that way. It takes them a while to get comfortable, but once they do…!
Replying to @sivavaid
Are they trying to lure you out of the country for a reason?
@radiokath Hey! Good to see you here.
Replying to @miriamkp and @pmhswe
There are some very good desk-bell style iPhone apps. Good loud "ding."
Replying to @radiokath
100% agreed.
Replying to @wynkenhimself and @jbj
Those three-character people all think they're soooo great.
Replying to @radiokath
DUDE. They were staying in the hotel across the street from me in LA, and the street was filled with screaming 15 year old girls.
Replying to @wynkenhimself
AAAAAUGGGHHH!!! I'm so sorry. I send you every image of ice cubes and air conditioning I can muster.
Replying to @wynkenhimself
Hey, if I can be of any help, let me know...
Replying to @wynkenhimself
EXCELLENT. So pleased to hear. Do keep us posted!

PS: Hope you're enjoying the ice & a/c!
A middle of the night announcement \(undoubtedly to be repeated later\) of part 2 of my series on Unpopular Seriality: http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/blog/the-unpopular/

Safe trip - and take care of yourself while you're there.

Thank you!

Ha! The perils of punctuation. Thanks for the link!
Replying to @mmwwah
Hey, you're on the road! Happy driving. Will look forward to hearing more.
Replying to @mmwwah
No, it's no Prague, it's true, but I am sure adventures will abound!
Replying to @mmwwah
You know, that's almost certainly true.
One last link to this post, for those of you who took the weekend off: The Unpopular. http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/blog/the-unpopular/
Replying to @samplereality and @CUNYNewMediaLab
Hey, thanks for the links. Here's to \(the important kind of\) popularity.
Replying to @annehelen
Hey, thanks! Your post was a very significant part of inspiring me to get back to this series.
Replying to @annehelen
I could not possibly agree with you more! Bold now \(rather than later\) produces huge benefits.
EXACTLY. RT @annehelen: but I realized that if I waited to say anything bold or controversial until I was tenured, well, that's no way to be

Hurray! Go forth and do.

What I was after was "the rich get richer," except that what they're rich in is attention paid by others. So… the former?
I dreamed I had this printer that, if you loaded it with sheets of pancakes, would print them out with butter & syrup. #blueberrymuffinstoo
Replying to @captain_primate
That may be what provoked the dream; a listserv convo about 3D printing brought up replicators and food. \(Also was hungry\.\)
Replying to @tcarmody

Replying to @Ed_Raso
Mmm. Replicatorific.
Replying to @JenServenti
Aw, man. Is this the future of government-procured muffins?

Replying to @samplereality and @briancroxall
I wonder what I'll talk about...
Replying to @briancroxall and @samplereality
Hmmm. I took a fab wine & cheese pairing class not long ago. The trick will be to focus on the serial aspect.

Hey, thank you!
So @miriamkp and @JenHoward share a birthday, if I'm reading things right. Happy happy, both of you!

I guess it’s about time to start packing for #DH2012. Super excited about the conference; a good bit less excited about leaving Prague.
Ah, well. All good vacations must come to an end, I guess.

I, on the other hand, am 600 yrs old \(or the last 6wks of travel has me feeling so\).
Replying to @ayjay and @tcarmody
Okay, okay, it's possible I wasn't being literal.
At the airport in Prague. Really looking forward to #DH2012 except for the whole end-of-an-amazing-vacation thing.
Replying to @mkgold
We’re missing you here, Matt! I’ll look forward to catching up back in NYC. #dh2012
Hey, #facsumm, on that putative decline in reading? My #mla12 talk took that on: http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/blog/networking-the-field/ //cc @wynkenhimself
Replying to @savasavasava
Ooooh. Good luck, and stay as cool as you can!
Replying to @candrews
I hope you found something by now, but if not: V Bar, on Sullivan, is awesome. \(Coffee by day, bar at evening\.\)
Replying to @sramsay
Wait - are you here? #dh2012
Replying to @briancroxall
Down front!
Replying to @sramsay
Yay! Will look forward to saying hello in person.

Excellent. I’ll hope the clouds hold!

I’ll look forward to catching up at the reception!

Replying to @GeorgeOnline
Woo-hoo! Congrats, and well-deserved!
Replying to @jenguiliano, @trevormunoz, @rob___nelson and @jasonrhody
Rats. I’m sure we can find something great. Frankly, I’d go back & have more perch.
Replying to @wynkenhimself
Now that’s a double-blind peer review process I can live with.

Hey, we can make arrangements for visitation. :)

EWR. One car service away from home. Please hurry up, Mr. Car Service!
Replying to @amyeetx
I hope it all goes smoothly! Fun getting to talk with you this week. #dh2012
Home! Kitties! Unpacking! Yay! \(Very bad smell in the bedroom\. Booo\.\)
Replying to @katinalynn
Oh, most definitely. It is the perfect day for it, isn’t it?
Replying to @LibSkrat
No, they were closed out of there. The smell is like rotting garbage, and I cannot find the source. :(
Replying to @wynkenhimself
I intend to! No travel for… um, two week. :-/
Replying to @rgfeal
Nope; they weren’t in there. Smells like rotting garbage. Terrace flooded in last big storm; I fear a leak & rotting in the wall.
Replying to @rgfeal
INDEED.
Nine. Hours. Sleep! That was awesome.

Rock on. It’s one of the things I love about flying in this direction. Barely managed to keep myself awake until 9 last night.
Replying to @tcarmody
Oh yeah.
Replying to @mmwwah and @wynkenhimself
So am I - and that’s saying something!
Very excited to be back in the office today, but think it’s going to take me a day or so to remember what I was up to before I left.
Replying to @BryanAlexander
The money & scholarships are less significant, I think, than is vacating all football victories 1998-2011.
Replying to @BryanAlexander
$60MM is something, yes - but in the land of big donors, even huge fines are just money. Vacating victories is permanent.
Replying to @briancroxall and @BryanAlexander
I suspect so, which turns every season since 1998 into an 0-and-X season. And JoePa’s record as well.
Replying to @BryanAlexander and @briancroxall
It’s a permanent reminder of the shame, which one hopes might make other programs more vigilant. +
Replying to @BryanAlexander and @briancroxall
It may also have a substantive effect on things like televised games and other kinds of support.
The only place I think @samplereality goes wrong in his cupcake theory is insufficient attention to the power of cute. http://www.samplereality.com/2012/07/24/on-the-predominance-of-cupcakes-as-a-cultural-form/

Somebody once recommended to me the "and that's all I have to say about that! pfthbbbt!" conclusion.

I would agree with that. The dangling carrot of perfection to come has been heartbreakingly withdrawn.

Passing through the EWR train station. Trying not to hyperventilate. I do not have to get on a plane. I do not have to get on a plane...

I've had better and worse experiences at EWR. The hyperventilation in this case was all about Yet Another Plane.

Fabulous column; congrats! \(Not to mention congrats on the amazing reviews the book is getting\. Looking forward to next week\!\)
Replying to @savasavasava
That’s true. But also when the weather involves dangerous wind, I can’t help but think of All That Glass.
Replying to @meganeabbott
Absolutely! I imagine your travels are still just getting started…?
I am sooooo happy that I didn’t set my old email account to delete the messages being forwarded to my new account before the two got merged.
24 hours later, I have eliminated all of the duplicates from my transferred mail. Now to process the non-duplicated stuff.
A mere 2885 messages to go. *sigh*
Think I may have finally determined that my desktop’s slowness can be cured with more RAM. Not sure why it took this long to figure out.
Replying to @GeorgeOnline
Dude, if I could order an 8GB upgrade kit for my head, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
I am now crossing my fingers and hoping that a mere $56 investment today will help me put off purchasing a new machine for another year.
I have inherited a standing desk. Would love any advice from those of you who have adopted them.
Replying to @katinalynn
How would one possibly work without it? :)
Replying to @erochest
I’m thinking that sitting may be a good way to break away from the screen from time to time.
Thanks for the standing desk advice, all. Everyone seems to agree on fatigue mats and gradually increase in standing time. Will report back!
Replying to @AnummaBrooke
Ooh, nice. I’ll keep that in mind!
