#SLC Residents: Skateboarding (in your own backyard) is NOT a crime! Well, except for
a new law that says it is: http://snurl.com/3sod1—@mdavid
@mdavid - no sweet jumps? that is weak. skateboarding and biking are physical education,
and should be a *protected* activity—@piers_hollott
@piers_hollott ... hard to understand how this could now be considered a crime, or at very least
something that should be discouraged.—@mdavid

BASSHUNTER LOL<(^^,)> why is is that I can code to techno or classical soundtrack
music and that's about it? (no lifestyle jokes plz)—@rich_kilmer
@rich_kilmer neither of those types of music if many or any lyrics.—@noradio
@noradio Twitter is tough because it forces me to cut the disclaimers and qualifiers I've
been "trained" by blog critics (& trolls) to use.—@KathySierra
@KathySierra "I think" turns a fact into a belief...and that's no small difference.—@bokardo
@bokardo but without it, do we risk the opposite--turning a belief into a fact? & I've been
guilty of THE wimpiest: "Some people think..."—@KathySierra
@KathySierra I think IMHO has it's place, but YMMV. Sorry, I tried to resist. Really. I did. Honest.
I think I just couldn't help myself.—@ndw

Having to deal with health insurance issues instead of business. $700B for Wall Street

If Google was going to just re-invent the Danger Sidekick (syncing, sliding keyboard

Goodbye 'diffmk', hello DeltaXML. FTW. It does a much, much, much better job than
my hack. Very slowly, sometimes, but much better.—@ndw

slandr.net is another password antipattern site, alas.—@ndw
@ndw slandr can't work any other way, it's an API limitation. OpenID is planned later.—@davidcarrington
@davidcarrington I understand the technical limitations. But I'm reluctant to join on principle.—@ndw
