@erik_davis if you want to test it out in person, my Mojave geodesic dome is available for visits.
The cold brisk Mojave night. So silent, not even a coyote call.

The #futureofmoney is here in Twentynine Palms, where tomorrow, we review proposed regulations for AirBnB style rentals.
I didn't remember this track having squealing yipping wild animals, then I realized it was just the coyotes outside. #mojaveliving

RAIN IN THE MOJAVE. Love the gentle pattering on the roof of my dome. The pungent smell of creosote.
"Punk-rock June Cleaver" aka @Blazenhoff just got profiled. So grateful to have this amazing woman in my life. http://www.alamedamagazine.com/Alameda-Magazine/December-2014/The-Queen-of-Kitsch/

6 months later, we have a community created set of regulations for short term rentals and a recommendation to adopt them in 29 Palms. Win.

Hi @mturner long time! http://Dictionary.com is probably my favorite site online. Nice to see you there! I never metaphore I didn't like!
@Ruth666 coconut pancakes? I <3 pancakes!
Sony hack not for lulz - cultural war on American liberties - freedom of speech and capitalism. Fascinating implications.
Nation State (declining power) vs Multi-National Corporation (increasing power). How political will Sony get? Will it kowtow to censorship?
Unbelievable opportunity for Sony to rebuild phoenix as a company doing business in today's global environment!
@Adoreboard what kind of technology/code/ML language are you using? Are you using a standard emotionML? Will you have an open API?
@Adoreboard will you have non-advertising based business models?
@ThatDudeF @AmerBanker @Bethan_Cowper @BankThink might also consider developing Asia/India/Africa for another mobile payments paradigm.

I left 10 years ago. "Over 50 percent of women will leave by the halfway point in their careers" - @shanley in @jason_pontin interview on SV
@jason_pontin @shanley fantastic interview, valid perspective. Thanks to you both.

@jason_pontin is that your pup!? What a <3. Joe told me about him last time I was in NY. (I know A.V. from those days too. Small world.)
Perhaps, someday soon, we will learn to see beyond dualism to comprehend a world with many diverse, contradictory, true views.
Hipster Champurrado: Blended dregs of homemade Almond Milk (Almond Meal + Dates + Vanilla Bean) + Cocoa + Cinnamon
@ken_homer FANTASTIC! Would do again!
@FrancisJeffrey7 I didn't cook it because I was lazy, but it would be fantastic warm!
@elakdawalla I know that experience all too well... (well about other topics)
Wrote up my recipe for Hipster Champurrado. Enjoy: http://www.heathervescent.com/loveletters/2014/12/hipster-champurrado.html
Tried watching Black Mirror. The dialog is like that "love scene" from BladeRunner showing they are both immature replicants.
@AdmiralLeviathn first one. @larspetrus feels like a lot of sugar pop tv. Let me go back and crawl in my portlandia hole.
