    • wow… the right-wing blogosphere is in a tizzy about the logan act: http://tinyurl.com/55qk7z #
    • @guyma true that – I’m just waiting to see what the fallout is #
    • @cdibona I wish every bailout were accompanied by a tar and feathering of all execs responsible #
    • @ragavan sounds like a job for Palin 😉 #
    • dumb question here – if WaMu folds, will FDIC protection mean that I can still access my checking account? OR SHOULD I WITHDRAW NOW #
    • @mikeini thanks for the quick reply! #
    • @MelWebster thanks! #
    • @garethgreenaway LOL… 🙂 #
    • I would like to warmly thank GWB for allowing me to witness firsthand a financial meltdown the likes of which I’ve only read about in books #
    • Interesting analysis of WaMu situation wrt FDIC: http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=289004&cl=9778400&src=finance&ch=1316259 #
    • Basically WaMu’s FDIC-backed assets=$180 bil. FDIC reserves=$50 bil. link says to look for merger – either that or we print lots of $$$$ #
    • @hunleyd yeah, I thought twitter did that automagically #
    • Joe Firmage launches environmental social network: http://communities.earthportal.org/ #
    • @rachelchalmers now now… it’s not nice to be snarky when mother nature is involved 😉 #
    • @rachelchalmers of course, it goes without saying that you’re right #

    • Here we go. Quakes vs dynamo with a packed house tonight. #
    • Quakes v dynamo 0 – 0 at half. This game demands a dynamic 10 and we ain’t got it. #

    • me thinks my alma mater is a dinosaur, hopefully about to get waylaid by that giant meteor known as the Internet #
    • @monkchips you are unfortunately correct re: american politics and Palin. Now excuse me while I go blow my brains out #

    • @garethgreenaway ugh… why??? I liked making the annual trek to Portland 🙁 #
    • back from playing soccer… boy do my knees hurt 🙁 #
    • @garethgreenaway I know you liked OSCON in portland – but your tweet was the first confirmation I have seen, hence my negative reaction 🙂 #
    • @klakhani do you have any idea how many union regulations that would violate? 😉 #

    • @jrep it’s got electrolytes! It’s what plants crave! #
    • @jrep now you lost me. I thought we were clear about quoting from “Idiocracy” 😉 #
    • whenever I talk to companies about open source communities, it strikes me how much they view as voodoo – they’re afraid to dive in w/o help #
    • @guyma I think it’s just an education issue. I can’t see companies feeling the same way 5 years from now. #
    • @storming ha! great analogy. yes, in a former life I did tech support for PacBell Internet, and it was just like that 🙂 #
    • @rossturk you buy 1-sentence books? “Sun entered the FOSS market because the competitive landscape left them no other choice” $10 plz 🙂 #
    • @rossturk @webmink the “why” is irrelevant to me. I am, however, interested in the “what” and “how” of JAVA’s FOSS embrace #
    • @webmink would you be happy with a smaller boutique press? Like, say, No Starch Press – @billpollock #
    • @webmink despite my twitter snark, that’s a talk I’d like to see #
