domestic neighborhood situation after slogging through yuck 101 traffic. don't know what's going on but concerned for them. it sounds bad.

Bjork is a pretty rush down my gamelon spine.

@emalone have you heard of the whiteboard paint?
@neilredding that sounds wonderful!
@amoration they are pao de queijo, made with tapioca flour from Bossa Nova. Check your local brazilian restaurant. It's a SouthAm staple.
oh right. I'm volunteering for the circus tonight. I had forgotten.
RT @Schwarzenegger: Fresno protests have good lines. Esp. the guy asking me 2 sign Terminator 2 & budget. But saying he loved me in Red ...
@johnedgarpark OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ME WANNNA!!!! (sorry the 15 year old boy in me came out!) ahem - when we playing?
dang body. all ugh today. otherwise today has been better than my recent past.
@DieMcClane you don't even want to know the response I really want to write. :p
@DieMcClane oh really? how do you know?
@DieMcClane you don't want to know the answer to that.
@DieMcClane better move then.
Rallying.
Dug up my unhappy and hot cypress/spruce. Anyone got a cool place for him?
Really big fire north valley. Looks to race up the hill and into back valley. Plumes of black smoke.
Sitting in my gorgeous clean granny punk (alien succulents) patio reading about building with straw.
@DieMcClane I was actually thinking about that. I think that story was unsubstantiated fear based marketing from the masons. ;)
so we stopped in an open house today - and met a retired hollywood agent. he had thousands of celeb photos and him w/ 5+ US Presidents.
@wildbell love it! represent some zombie love.
fresh farmer's market tomatoes, basil & peaches
ok, I want to reset this week. Twitter friends/followers - tell me something you are super excited about.
@chrisspurgeon I'd better put a warning out to those lobsters. ;) sounds fun!
@AnnieTerrazzo yikes, I would be scared of a german gynecologist! yay for home!
@johnedgarpark whoo-hoo. how did yours turn out?
@amoration yeah, I noticed the streets were empty around Hwood too!
@JasonCalacanis The answers have no bearing on what he created. Do not judge the vessel of the creation. Real creators know they r conduits.
RT@mathprobs: 13) 100 million people watch MJ's funeral. 2/3 of people tweet, 3/4 on lj, 4/5 on fb. What's min # of people doing all three?
homemade pesto pasta twice today - both times with awesome people.
@ilainie go red rocks!
@WELLO Hi! @amoration told me we should talk about UH!
@WELLO got it and right backatcha via email! :) I look forward to talking with you.
morning revelation. we wouldn't need "green/responsible" business if we weren't so greedy. green is the new greed.
@MissXu same with sustainability. we wouldn't need to talk about it, if ppl weren't so greedy. we have forgotten how much we truly need.
@MissXu it's still greed if it's taught and ppl are unaware. (this is a much longer convo that can't really be had in 140 characters...)
@MissXu and when ppl see you have all that - and want it too - that's how it perpetuates and makes things unsustainable.
thank you @shanenickerson 4 the hot wheels pr0n/memory blast to my past. I also had the firebird dreamcar among others. http://bit.ly/JgmZi
@MissXu agreed re: it's not black/white. greed is similar - a lot of little greed adds up and then it's ok/acceptable to be greedier ->
in fact, it because the norm to be as big and greedy as possible. then you can't play the greed game unless you change it hence -> green.
I am reminded of the story of the fisherman and the businessman: http://bit.ly/sk01m
@jdavid what do you include in total production costs? positive branding associations?
looking through old geek dinner photos and remembering when I met many of the la tech ppl for the first time.
Judge says TSA oversteps searches. Totally right on! Thank you for sharing this @MaryHodder: Mission Creep at the TSA: http://bit.ly/M1p3T
@amoration I may come join - its right in my hood.
working on some pretty cool possible events I can't talk about yet. motivation is high.
I am so digging the multiple inboxes view in Gmail. Pure Genius and GTD wonderfullness.
Scrum club is cool. i love it when there r good pm/pjm/dev processes.
I love cloudds like this. Full moon helps.
@pegorama was awesome to see ya tonight too! next week. Plans! And organization!
@strimble pics of your gorgeous hair pls!!!
@nerdist that's pretty awesome. makes me wonder if I still have my cassette tape player with similar vinyl cover...
@ilainie if u r still in phoenix - you must meet @SafetyThird. and go on the Apache Trail and see where I "lost" my wallet preSXSW
@WELLO whoops! :) feel free to borrow and use. :)
in box zero (both of them)
@ilainie safe travels and see you soon!!
@glxp if I wanted your gig, I'd ask YOU what you want out of your SM endeavors. What kind of community do you want to create?
@glxp Who is the circle of ppl you want to influence and engage? DOthat, your SM and community bld strategy may take various tactics.
listening to paul oakenfold teaser mix. Hi-energy. Wow. Loving it.
@glxp DOthat = depending on that

@thework101 it was awesome to meet you yesterday too. You are an awesome bunch!
@Blazenhoff ah lanesplitter. I remember that place - the all girls motorcycle crew used to meet up there. #bayareamemories
@jdavid that's only if you've been indoctrinated into the mac cult.
@twisstalert I wish you would give me a bit more notice. :(
@ilainie YES! I will love to take a break from my AI brain explosion. Hi and poke to @miro7 I don't want u to leave. :(
@fejsez oh MY!
@kellysims Wow - just wow.
@jdavid well. better take it out back and put it out of it's misery then. :&
@jdavid lol true true. The only mac hacking u can do is unlocking. Actually I know nothing of mac hacking... Paradox perhaps?
@slackmistress be sure to try the coconut/chocolate cake (if that's ur thing) @susinabakery. It's the bomb! The pb cake is really pber-ey.
at Canters every day is thanksgiving. turkey and cranberry = yum. Thanks - you know who you are.
pondering music for inspiration. @DieMcClane would chastise me for old favorites.... thinking mashup time
@twitter I wish you would put ppls bio in the follow email. Can you do that for me, pretty please?

Neighbor is playing edith piaf full blast. Enjoying a rest in the garden after pasadena trip. la vie en rose.
another 2+ hours in the community garden this am. drying fresh picked herbs in the sun. #domesticbliss
I take after Voltaire, and after everything, prefer to cultivate my garden.
@Gamdel That is one cool space warp facade!

slowly turning chaos into order using my tornado powers.
@ilainie Have a margarita for me and have a fab time on your pre-adventure adventure!
weekend realization: GTD is batch process. batch = more efficient, but not what users want. users want NOW! #gtd #ancienttechprocess
At work session with the awesome ladies at @thework101
Getting ready to inspire a bunch of girls at digigirlz.
relaxing after a long but very rewarding day today. was inspired by @thework101, then inspired teen girls at DigiGirlz in Irvine.
reviewing the schedule for IJCAI-09 tomorrow. ready to get my AI on. #ai #ijcai
@fejsez I was literally in and out in about 2 hours. :) no time to play unfort.
@techherding I do, indeed!
RT @thework101: #balance isn't just being able to sit in once place and not fall over -- it is the ability to keep moving and not fall over!
Annie Lennox Fans, you must watch this: http://bit.ly/ZAw9m
I'm excited to go to Art of Bleeding's show tomorrow (Wed) to understand true safety consciousness. You should join me: http://bit.ly/BHVLj
Headed to pasadena. I'll tweet interesting AI stuff from #ijcai today.
Learning how qrio robots learn color language identification by Luc Steels. #ijcai
Cool robotic/game mashup of pleos and rock band at pasadena convention ctr. You can come too. Today only. #ijcai
Long term AI futures panel.
Already mentioned ray kurzweil and singularity university. #ijcai
AI industry day is on friday. Free and open to the public at Pasadena Convention Ctr. If intsd come.
Interesting question: who is responsible for AI? (Like when it goes wrong)
Why bother with fear based future forecasting. Boring. I'd rather focus on positive futures and building that.
I don't think we should program robots/ai w/ asimovs laws. Who defines good/bad? Not black/white. #ijcai
winding up the day with hallway conversations on machine reasoning and logic. and why we shouldn't model AI after human I. #ijcai
also, it has been a trip when scientists and researchers ask me what @suicidegirls is. I tell them an alt lifestyle website. LOL #ijcai
although a few scientists and researchers are familiar with @suicidegirls. ;)
well they could. @ajpape there's a @suicidegirls iphone app called "Flip Strip". It's free too. (ps. there goes your productivity!)
@mktgdouchebag I know. There are a bunch. Guys like alt tattooed chicks!
@woodyp @MykalBurns glad you liked the annie lennox! I thought it was pretty amazing.
hey @suicidegirls, I think we need to do a science set. To help motivate the hardworking researchers in their labs.
@ajpape awesome. look forward to seeing you there.
@lucas_gonze argh blavckberry fails on that link. What the song?
The art of bleeding blows my mind again. Its like zen buddhist taoist trickster mad scientist dirty old man produced an evening performace.
taking a break from #ijcai today 2 meet w/people&work. Will b back 2mrw 4 more panels& open 2 public Industry Day @ pasadena convention ctr.
LA party people I'm beat. Sorry to dissapoint but I'm staying. Got another big day tomorrow.
My neighbors are either watching or just listening to bollywood. I made curry. Coincidence?
@sciencegoddess sounds fun! Sure!
At #ijcai thinking. Ai can only see what it is programmed to see. Is this the same with us?
Looking forward to randy hill's talk on ai and synthetic experiences. #ijaci
Thinking up projects for sensorwebs in art, gardening and more!
Demo of siri voice activated personal assistant is pretty amazing #ijaci
Next speaker up is stephen wolfram of wolfram alpha. #ijaci
Siri was really cool. Nice ui and great feature set. Downside beta release only for iphone later this year. But looks great. #ijaci
Omfg stephen wolfram virtually here. This is not what I expected at academic conf. I'm delighted! #ijaci
"Technology only becomes useful when it becomes invisible" - Randy Hill quotes a la Don Norman. #ijaci
There needs to be more cross-communication and collaboration btwn academia/researchers and business/industry. Siloing does not = evolution.
Also academia/research could benefit from business creativity & innovation. Practical application require different prob solving. #ijaci
Sharing research, w/ public: making any piece accessable, increases likelihood of $ for research & dev. & long term tech/product adoption.
"The turing test is more about humans and psychology than computational analysis." Stephen wolfram
I totally agree w my last tweet.
"Want ppl to interact w virtual human and forget that its not human"-hill
What's genuine intelligence or computationally advanced - wolfram.
Stephen wolfram has officially blown my mind. Very impressed. Omfg - genius. He wants to find the fundamental theory of physics.
Hunting for our universe in the space of possible universe! #wolframsnextproject
Quantum algorithms!
Thinking it might be time for pie n burger.
@kjkjerstin what?! You must remedy that! the pie is the bomb. Missed u at the conf but u prob already know everything :P
Machines don't control humans. Humans try to control (& manipulate) other humans. Machines are tools.
@kjkjerstin agreed! a pasadena pie rendezvous is in our future!
Its too hot.
@phylogenomics I felt 104+ in Inland Empire today - although a breezy 92 in Hollywood.
@18percentgrey I'm impressed. 140! Not looking forward to Buttonwillow next month.
waking up is hard when you're up at 4am responding to intruders & cleaning blood splattered kitchen. In dog vs rat confrontation, dog wins.
@kayeporter you're pretty awesome! Thanks for all your help and wonderful perspectives!
Hey @Blogger_Prom. So, um, who is getting the stretch limo for us to drive around town in after prom? Perfect sponsor idea.... methinks
I hug my pup extra tight, and send a small wish northward to the funeral of a very much loved dog. The soul under the fur is immeasurable.
@kayeporter it was the tomatoes! the kitchen is getting on getting back on track.
OH can u sit in the bathtub with a bottle of tequila on twitter? OH Yes! #thework101

@martinboz get better and rest up. that's important!
came back from a dog walk pondering the death of my "child" and heard sowing the seeds of love from tears for fears. Exactly.
Giving the Absurd a good reading. A recent moment of insight reminded me of my absurdist tendencies.
I love how everyone RSVPs at the last minute. What's the point of RSVPing? ;)
Packed house at cinespace for inagural Ignite /geek dinner

@bentoboxx Yup - it's gonna be way too hot!
@DieMcClane where have you been?
@DieMcClane um, I have not been much the twitter-viewer/watcher the past few days since I've been traveling...
@DieMcClane California is the most beautiful place in the world other than Peru and Utah. :)
Raceteam mtg after a long day. guys discuss while I spend quality time with pup.
@DieMcClane that made me LOL! thanks!
Long day. Work, errands, pack, drop pup, hit the redeye. Wish I had bottled up some time from the past month, but it doesn't work like that.
Saw my name taped on the inside of my business PO Box. "Heathervescent" Even the Postal Workers know me. It made me smile.
