@textfiles sorry, no men's thongs, no sale.

@dehora @finners_99 all this burger porn must be blogged for posterity

@mathowie are you in San Francisco, or as my 3 year old son @rockhardawesome calls it, "the disco"?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Greenspeak @MrPope PLEASE GOD PLEASE LOLA

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ID_AA_Carmack go for it; just make sure they're LED bulbs! (some decent options out there now, but spendy)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Greenspeak @MrPope one of my great regrets in life: there's exactly zero Kinks for Rock Band, in 2,000+ DLC songs. :(

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @jongalloway also, embossing like a BOSS. (not)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ironicsans to be honest, asking here on Twitter in a friend-of-a-friend way (or whatever other network you prefer) would be best IMO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ironicsans if you do, be sure to write about it either way. Not sure what will happen, to be honest.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ironicsans it doesn't usually end well.. http://t.co/sJj2dmz2

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers actually eInk is pretty hi-res; they just need to make it faster and possibly color

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@splattne I keep ripping the smartcover off accidentally. It's a nice idea and works OK but not great.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@splattne smartcover is OK. This is more interesting: https://t.co/4eDPZbCH

@codinghorror
@jeffk75067 yes, who cares what appears in the address bar, the sign out in front of your store..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ftrain wasn't this already done in They Live, rasslin' style?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@robconery @shanselman it's talking like Captain Kirk. With.. Unusual.. Emphasis.. On.. Each.. Word!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@evil_trout @wycats there's always a sinister conspiracy behind everything. It's the only possible explanation!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash it would if you drew all peens.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@t3hub3rk1tten oh, it helps.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash @worstipedia explanation: people are lazy. I realize this will come as a surprise to.. oh, hell, I can't do this any more.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley WAY TO GO SHIPLEY. (you did the right thing)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@crad77 RB3 pro guitar is a free, infinitely patient guitar teacher. Hand positions are identical on pro guitar, just digital vs analog.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@corban I have that too, and it's good, but the analog detection + analog lag can be challenging. RB3 pro is all digital midi guitar

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@josh_metcalfe @RockSmithGame I have it, and it's good, but the lack of accuracy on analog detection (and audio lag) is an issue.

@codinghorror
@privatehuff marketers, more like

@codinghorror
@splattne I took one look at the iPad 1 when @jarrod_dixon and @SuperDalgas bought them in NYC, pixels as big as grapefruits: never.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles I could help if I had that mythical "top 5 things Jason Scott needs" list. (also can include "bottom 5 things to never send")

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@edbott sure, it's how God would search

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@juanformoso IOW links should *describe* content not be "click here" or "click this"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake notice how good the user description field is, it's a bit eerie.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MadMikeyB I agree, the whole project/product/program manager thing is confusing as hell.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles it's quietly brilliant.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers not minimal enough. No watch is the miminalest.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles I should be paid $25 to read this stuff.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevinmontrose that's what I mean; your obit will be written by dumbasses on Twitter like me, not journalists

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lizardbill @splattne yes I was sad to see Sketchy go, but I agree after 9+ months of "beta" something else was needed, great work @jzy !

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lizardbill I was kidding. Joel has said a bunch of times that high level comp sci degrees is not usually a good sign, but it varies!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lizardbill congrats! Now Joel can officially never hire you!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ChadMoran @samsaffron send a link when you do we have some other contributors in mind too

Jeff Atwood

@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza gmail app from Google is kind of bad for this reason as well. No-mans-land of not web, not app

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@secretGeek no, get the Logitech G9 or G9X

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jaggeree first we need to stop saying "pivot". Perhaps a webinar is in order here.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake this is relevant to my interests

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers see, that's the kind of thing that could get me to switch, unless Windows 8 + ultrabooks get that kind of DPI support

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@joelcochran that means it's a duplicate Q and should be voted closed as dupe!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@iWaffles obligatory http://t.co/Eh8fzQ8x

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles you realize when you talk about it and link to it you're kinda... perpetuating it.. right?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@asmartbear meh, I've written better blog posts. :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers I KNOW RIGHT?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ironicsans I envy the experience you're about to have.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonskeet I wouldn't close it but I would need to see some very clear data and arguments as to what *problem* changing the rep cap solves

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonskeet what specific problem are you trying to solve? I feel like we've discussed this for 3 years already.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wingedpig it looks like the similar http://t.co/xaVrW4RO is also fizzling, perhaps for same reasons?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles even better, in Battlefield 2: Bad Company and Battlefield 3, destructible real time multiplayer environments, with huge effect

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dot_NET_Junkie @ploeh that's correct, programmers is for conceptual/whiteboard/brainstorming/opinion/no-code type questions.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gknauss your dad was awesome.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wingedpig Can I axe you a question? what happened to Snap Groups?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ploeh @mar_haus_ sorry to see you go. Good luck.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ploeh @mar_haus_ basically the architecture astronauts need their own site. Show us your *code* or GTFO. http://t.co/kXcQUIaw

@rwpwll lol Ruby for anything other than a web app

@codinghorror
@siracusa I'm sure in 2022 I'll be able to fire up a PS3 emulator and check it out. On my iPad 25.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa I can virtually guarantee I won't enjoy at least two of those. I'm a "stuff needs to blow up real good" kinda gamer.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa well, the odds of me ever getting a PS3 are pretty low, so hopefully it'll come to PC or Xbox or iOS

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa haters be hatin' on Journey, yo http://t.co/9ZGMA76I

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa I wasn't having fun during long stretches of Portal 2, doing "let me just get to the next thing". I did love the ending though.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mrgan @siracusa maybe a minority opinion, but I felt Portal 1 was quite a bit better and more focused. http://t.co/oOVAshDO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ploeh @mar_haus_ I generally find when people say this they have "generous" definitions of on topic. But if you have specifics try meta

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers http://t.co/RWfklIcv <-- the other half of writing. 'tis fundamental, yo.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers writing is pretty damn fundamental. But mainly, interactive is good, for sure, but it is not the same as creating things.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers it is interactive, yes, but that's not the same as creating. And it's still hideous for the written word, aka typing.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers the harsh reality is most people "create" almost nothing. Therefore, consumption devices have mass appeal.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jeroenheijmans that was science. man! http://t.co/XrPAL9gF

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente this is a flying fixie bicycle -- I can't obtain a display of this quality in any other way. It's innovating now.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash that was cruel and unusual punishment

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers you are totally reinforcing all my negative stereotypes of Mac users right now.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers nest didn't blow it yet, did they?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@markeedington this means you're sane

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@john_lam depends on the mag? EDGE magazine in iOS newsstand (article pages anyway) looks like this full zoom http://t.co/VVVWfHlM

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@john_lam do you mean magazines through the iOS newsstand? They are vectors *on article pages* in EDGE mag for example.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers it's definitely vector but it has a weird tile based rendering pattern and "rezzes in", sometimes too slowly

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@EduardoMolteni I bring them up because stuff happens in real life where I need to point them out via email, so I point them out to everyone

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dr_jekyll832 naw, I didn't want to hurt the resale value :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@juanformoso PRAISE THE LORD

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa wait, is this for real? Really?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@regularmike @jschementi yeah I still don't get the hate on that
