RT @evacide: @ninavizz I spend a lot of working on government surveillance in authoritarian regimes. It's pretty dystopian.
@amoration so lovely to catch up today Amo! xo
@k0re totally! Especially when @amoration said she was at dorkbot! Love the small world!
Made my first aeropress cup of coffee. Very smooth!
The only two issues of a zine I did in 1997.... named after my favorite portugues word. http://instagram.com/p/chXm5upvRI/
@k0re @amoration YES! San Francisco seems the obvious choice!
@acedrew It brews a superior cup to my Melita drip. I suppose it's time to mix up the morning ritual.
Having a bad case of structured procrastination today.
Who remembers http://suck.com? Where's that kind of new thing happening now?
@k0re come back to LA! I want to throw more parties at Chez Vescent! cc ps. @amoration has a sweet pool!
Achievement Unlocked: INBOX ZERO! (Thanks to Structured Procrastination.)
@diskgrinder This man has already done it! http://www.structuredprocrastination.com/
ProTip: Jamiroquai chases away procrastination.
BTW - that INBOX ZERO was the 4th time this year. (Yes I keep track.)
@mvizdos LOL - that's not the *real* way to get to inbox zero. LOL
@kayeporter just caught up on your instagram feed and saw you are into Aeropress too! It's amazing! ps. xo, miss you, let's hang soon.
@christefano @amoration @k0re @toyshoppe - Robot Pool Party should happen when @ramez is in town! and @k0re you should come down then!
Second aeropress cup consumed. Smooth strong wow!
Heya @amoration @toyshoppe @TSSystems could you LED mod a @marliesdekkers future lingerie set? That's what I dream of! ;)
Want your own Daft Punkesque helmet? Now is your chance straight from the wizard-creator: http:/igg.me/at/Toyshoppe cc @amoration @TSSystems
@amoration I'm there! I've got 6 styles in my wardrobe to select from. Which level do I pick on IGG? @marliesdekkers @TSSystems
Raspberry Sorbet and Turkish Coffee - who'd believe these are great flavors together. They are. #mashtimalones
pterodactyl, like anthropomorphic and jacare, is one of my favorite words.
@RodneyRamsey totally! pterodactyl sounds are the best! ***brahhhhhaahhhhwwwhaaahhwwwhh*
Not surprising, current web meanderings lead me to #fnord. It's been a while since I fell into the dischordian hall. Hi.
At the post office earlier today. Put these babies on a flight from LA. No playa for the Vescent1 this… http://instagram.com/p/cpd7M2JvX_/
Tonight's creation: ginger vodka, ginger beer, lemon, a splash of Campari. Light and refreshing!

Morning reading, because dag gunnit I have a script to write. http://instagram.com/p/crbaixJvbW/
I didn't realize I had a Run DMC deficiency....
@dominicsayers Nice!
@SSquire Indeed. Medicating right now.
@ZigerShamisen soon there will be alternates to the "stupid body." "Enlightenment" could get interesting.
@ericlin I think that job includes watching Brazil and Aeon Flux... does this make it non-negotiable for your friend?
@ryan perhaps you would consider an actual futurist, x-aoler (w/ patents) & serial start-up junkie to srsly invent the future. #justsayin
@ericlin oh, ok. good to know. So no issues with Aeon Flux then? Might be able to swap out Ghost in the Shell or Akira for Brazil...
@ZigerShamisen just ask @iBina48
@rightfuture I'd prefer to channel PK. I miss a lot of what is in his writing from the movie. Like the whole animal/empathy subplot @ericlin
@rightfuture ps. Hi! and waves from a dark neon Los Angeles.
@rightfuture thanks for the suggestion! Will do! Stay dry. Enjoy the sky wet kissing earth. @ericlin
RT @iBina48: I agree, a good friend is like a rare Star Wars action figure
@ericlin right on! I'll let you know when I'm ready to hire someone. (This is srsly not far from my "day job" - don't hate me.)
@ericlin sweet! totally!
Sometimes, I wish LA would just get over itself and have a proper rainy day.
RT @secretcinema: Nobody puts Baby in a corner. @futurecinema presents #DirtyDancing. http://www.futurecinema.co.uk/tickets
image@atlnav it's bliss for about 1-3 minutes, until someone you just emailed, emails you back. ;)
@sblackmoore Touche! Perhaps LA is reinventing her climate. ;) (climate change doesn't have to be all bad!)
@atlnav deleting is totally legit!
@sblackmoore I was just thinking about that year the house on Laurel Canyon collapsed the other night.... it might be time...
Migration poleward is marine life's response to climate change / warmer waters. http://www.futurity.org/earth-environment/sea-creatures-race-toward-cooler-waters/
@Cekent that reminds me that one of my first eBay purchases was of baked cookies from a stranger, pre2000.
This week, several huge anchored items on my todo list are done, or almost done. I'm feeling .... strange. Wonder what's next.
@ericlin great suggestion! I've been working my way through Samurai Champloo again. You know of it?
@wendyinfutures feel no envy Wendy. Its been years and its been a rough/busy/difficult few years.
With thanks to @ZigerShamisen I've become suddenly obsessed with Tibetan Bon.
@ericlin no?!?!?! Do telll!
@ericlin by the way, I think you've named my dream bf - b-boy ronin. Lethal, sensitive, fucked up, hip hop till you don't stop. Swoon!
Holding on lightly to a dream with detachment can be fucking hard.
@JimVanDyke Sure. I'll be in the Bay in Sept... no BRC for me this year....
OMG INBOX ZERO #5 and all my meetings today got cancelled. Free Day for the Vescent1! What to do?!?!
@JimVanDyke ok. shoot me your email in DM....
@ZigerShamisen feel free to send reading/practice suggestions...

Gack!
Headed to @ScareLosAngeles to talk about @lasanta and Cacophony at 3:30.
It's kind of been an epic weekend. Doing it, living it like I want.
Magic hour is magic.
@sblackmoore let's just say I am getting over myself... :) how are things for you my friend?
@mvizdos I'm trying. I'm trying to be grateful for what is, too.
@sblackmoore let your fingers do as the muse guides! I think your stuff is great!
Time won't wait for you / Keeps on ticking away / Every second screams, listen to your dreams / So do all the things you wanted to #lyrics
@sblackmoore working on something I'll unveil early next month... quietly working, working working on something big. :)

@sblackmoore I talked about using the City of LA as a canvas for creating and having experiences beyond the mainstream. 1/2
@sblackmoore Others had awesome history, crime and ghost stories!
Today has been a real trip! Laughing all the way through my day, delighted and in the present moment. LOL.
Without even trying, I hit inbox zero again...
A taste of the office "park" reminds me what I have escaped from.
And two days in a row west of the 405...
Omg so amazing flashback to my atari2600 childhood! (@ Cinefamily w/ 8 others) [pic]: http://4sq.com/1bxrYIh
I am not sorry to say I am rocking the 80s teenage girl glitter nail polish. I never have to grow up! #genxFTW

This tweet was sent from my new Mac Air. Loved that it took about 15 minutes to set up with all my stuff tx to the cloud.
heya @mktgdouchebag got any words of wisdom? or words of debauch work too. I'm missing you.
Less than 15 minutes using my new Air & Mac interface & I'm back on my Thinkpad trying to do the pinch n swipe. This machine is doomed.
I am failing to find the inspiration for sexy marketing writing tonight... I don't know if I have it in me anymore.
I have fallen into the 70s EuroDisco time hole and I don't want to come back.
@ninavizz not to be a party pooper, but SF has always had greed. Remember those "It's the Cheese" billboards? It's really the Greed.
@ninavizz ah, perhaps I got out in time then. It ain't the age of robber barons anymore.
@ninavizz I think there are conflicting trends going on. The social good entrepreneurship trend, and then the typical $$ raise.
@ninavizz oh, like maybe they are not that consciously evolved? not surprising... it takes time and each must do it for her/him self.
@ninavizz :) it shows a diversity of values in the startup ecosystem. Some are more conscious, others remain the same as it ever was.
@ninavizz and happy to serve a cup of chamomile tea if you need it. :)

Trapper Keeper is to Teenager as GTD Notebook is to so-called Adult. #genx #productivity #the80s #corporateculture
@mktgdouchebag ok. I will wait until you are inspired or caffeinated.
@revrev do you really use a trapper keeper? I miss mine.
Bliss is working on my front porch, window open, breeze, blue sky, aphex twin, working on my dreams.
My totally 80s sparkletastic nails. http://instagram.com/p/dIlfaRpvcV/
No parking baby… No parking on the dance floor!
@sblackmoore I know! I hate to admit how much I like them. I don't think it's going to be the last time I get these. :)
Today, didn't boot up the Thinkpad once. Only frustration with the Mac switch is relearning mouse & keyboard shortcuts.
RT @busynessgirl: @heathervescent What do you mean 80s? My nails look like that all the time!
@busynessgirl and that, my friend, is why we are such good friends! LOL
It's all Electric Light Orchestra and Earth, Wind and Fire.
Intriguing thought. RT @askpang Digital "friends" are to physical-world friends as factory-farmed tomatoes are to heirloom tomatoes.
@kittenhotep @askpang there's something to be said about the resiliency bred into new strains. Braid the best of both worlds, say I.
RT @amoration: Wow. Robot Love goes too far. http://techandfacts.com/robot-programmed-to-fall-in-love-with-a-girl-goes-too-far/ I looked at early code for programming empathy & compassion -- love is…
Someone please save me from the script rewriting….
Dear @SusinaBakery . Decided to break my boycott tonight and first visit in over 1 year. No coconut cake. So disappointed. Why? Why?
@sblackmoore thanks. I know you know how this goes.
The crickets, the balmy night air, reminders of my childhood California: grandma's Oceanside house. A timeless moment - past in the present.
Again with the Inbox Zero.
@Radiskulls that is a good question... Karaoke night maybe?
I can never get enough Jah Wobble bass lines.
@Radiskulls what, you think I'm singing songs from this decade... ahem millennium?
The calmness and complete lack of frantic packing is because I'm skipping the playa this year. Feeling kinda sad, but enjoying the calm.
@changeist @wendyinfutures @nraford business today often lacks any nuance.

Dear @robtow how are you? Long time....

@Andrew_Syd Thank you!
I can't believe it took me this long to dance to New Order, Depeche Mode & the Cure in a club of 20 year olds. #highschooldance #genxftw
