I'd rather have creepy guys taking xray pictures of me instead of my so called government.
The grope made my cancer surviving mom cry. USA government I'm ashamed at you.
The balmy air of Hawaii. And dreams of 100 pure Kona coffee com sunrise!

Also if you think the world is ending, you may consider moving to an island. The original "survivalists".
Sleep deprived in LA. So happy to be home and hitting the grindstone.

.@mikeatqazam I'll be at sxsw for all of interactive and most of film. it's been a few year for me, so excited to be back.

@mpesce you are dead wrong about LA coffee drinkers. Maybe in the past - but come visit now.
I saw a pack of coyotes and a sunset in the Hollywood Hills this afternoon. Whaddya see?
.@WomenWhoTech I never saw/participated/unorganized a flash mob that was negative. It's a culture jamming term. I consider it DADA.
@rtgarden Rock on!
Hi! @itsluy let me know when you figure out why you followed me. :-P I like to know how ppl categorize me.
@umairh right on! Agree and my research show this is emerging. But has not got much traction yet unfort. Shift is not imminent.
@umairh enlightenment is not something that happens overnight. One must remember it. But there are so many tasty distractions!
@umairh That doesn't surprise me. But does it stick? :) Where can I read your research?
@umairh ps. I'm sharing some of mine at the future of $ & tech in Feb. Will you be there? (Hope so!) :)

Haven't been this excited bout a DMV photo/visit ever. Must be the two toned hair. I fit right in. #hollywood
Just realized, I've been on Twitter for almost 4 years. That means Twitter isn't new anymore.
I know I'm late to the game, but I am getting obsessed with Mechanical Turk.
Work. Writing. Organizing. Reading. Serious reduction in email, cell-phone and social media activities. My higher brain loves it. Bye!
How have I lived this long in WeHo and never learned of Tom of Finland? Just the heterosexually statistic keeping WeHo diverse, I guess.
There's not enough ibruprofin for me today. Every move seems to be with pain. Ugh.

Not sure if it was the backpain Vicodin or the awesome conversation I just had, but I'm feeling pretty good! (It was the convo!) #vaguetweet

@shoghon @mattmay v. interesting. I just tuned into my Jamiroquoi pandora station tonight for 1st time in months...
Joke from Mechanical Turker. "Don't pay me in Ven, LOL." LOL indeed. Gives me an idea actually... he he. cc @hubculture
@therefore I think I have it covered. Looking for crash space non-hotel preferred. Will have car so can drive. (Driving from LAla land)
@therefore But please, can we meet in person! Silent screams? Or rather loud ones.
@therefore Speaking of screaming. I let one rip on the dance floor the night of my bday. It felt good and I did not get kicked out.
@wwjimd we've had sunshine down here, but I can still stomp my dream snowboots. :)
@charlesnw re: bitcoin...Interesting. I need to research it/ponder it more. Withholding judgement for now. Thanks for the ping!
@shoghon Most definitely! You? (How bout SX?) Also lemme know anything interesante in the Seattle. I'm a traveling girl this year.
@shoghon Yay! Let's hang out. After ....*pondering* 20 years is it?
Does every Deadmau5 song sound the same?
@jozjozjoz Re: lemon juice. @traviskoplow made some pretty awesome lemon bars once. There's also pie, lemonaid, spy ink and cleaning.
@shoghon that's darn unbelievable. I must have been 15. Such an innocent little goth. Not innocent anymore, heh.
It's become a Nina Rota morning.
An never to be realized dream of mine: remake Satyricon set in modern LA/the Mojave in the style of Jodorosky. Oh wait, that's my life.
@charlesnw Cool. Thanks! (are you involved? I would be interested in interviewing someone for my research)
Well! I was sure on a rant tonight in class ripping noob journalists who write uninformed shallow articles about the futures field. Rawr!
@DeaconForecast LOL! :) You should see me really worked up!
@leahpeah I'm with you! Not weird at all!
Dad called, telling me ideas that extend my own research (he's not read it all). I love him. He's the best. And a total genius.
And it's pretty obvious to all who know us, the apple does not fall far from the tree!
.@charlesnw most of them only write one article and consider themselves experts. Then go become the editor of Arthritis Today.

@shaherose where will you be (speaking) in LA?
Fractals and S-curves. Harmonic Substitution models describing paradigm changes. Oh yes. This is my work.
@cecilysommers the Museum of Jurassic Tech in LA has some sculptures on the head of a pin and inside the thread hole. :)
@susankitchens I was just thinking about geocities. And if any of the data had been archived. Glad it was.
@MackReed cheers to you too this good morn. *raises half drunk cup o joe*
@susankitchens my mind goes crazy with what can/will be done with this archived data. Google is the only other company that can play.
If I were going to talk to a bunch of futurists for an hour, what would be a good topic? #deerintheheadlights
Also if anyone can recommend a good chiro in weho or nearby, feel like I could use an epidural. Or maybe just adjustment. Ugh.
Twin Peaks at Brookdale tonight? Right on!
@pinkyracr Yes, early dinner in the trees. With Pie! And swanky dress! Opens at 8. Meet you at 7. (We must eat at Cliftons!)
@pinkyracr the trees are worth it. Wanna go in a banana suit? Or a gorilla suit? Bananas in the trees.
@pinkyracr have you been reading too much Taleb? But that's a good concept - wildcards.
@r0b3rta yay! yes! come!

It's utterly unbelievable that wikipedia deleted Cesare Marchetti's page. And others significantly less remarkable have one.
@wwjimd did you hike there? Outside of pland? If so, I've heard of those! Jealous!
@wwjimd gotta wear a beanie cause otherwise the hair - it freezes from the steam! (Ps. It was in the 80s today)
Pie, donuts and the owls were not what they seemed. No log lady though.

@Zeo Yup. I expect so. It's gonna be fun to see how things compare!
@sixwing I was obsessed with my @Zeo when I first got it. Seemed to be optimized for folks who had problems sleeping. Still it's fun!
@sixwing wish it had more features for ppl who don't have sleep problems though. Their online website it good though.

@diskgrinder what does plumper mean? Also please define toppermost? Yank does not understand.
@diskgrinder I mean. I HAVE definitions in my mind. But it would be nice to know if I am misusing them and thus sully their meaning.
Also, I approve of cuts. Not saying it's not easy. But everyone's gotta get used to less money.
Less money, does not need to mean a reduced quality of life. Do not limit yourself to the current scarce paradigm. There is abundance.
@diskgrinder Thank you kind sir. I asked my bf what plumper meant, and you don't want to know what he said.... *face red*
