8:54pm Seems to be sensationalist story burnoff night at CNN.

8:32pm "An expert on bullying" sounds like something different than it actually is.

1:21pm @weareyourfek they're busy mentoring young journalists and drowning in gin, respectively. no help to you.

1:17pm @weareyourfek no, you idiot, it will not work.

1:06pm @marktheunissen you're really measuring the ability to make it beautiful if needed, not to get it right all the time.

12:39pm @weitzman if it were FIFA, we'd know the cost of the deal :-)

12:57am @theresaanna beware cruise ship passengers with powerful binoculars

1:56pm @merlinofchaos I'm tempted to see it now! A 1.5 hour long Onion-esque movie, recommended by NYT? Fine by me...

1:44pm Wait. Hot Tub Time Machine = NYT Critics' Pick?

10:54am Reading Bon Appetit just makes me miss Gourmet.

3:30pm The Decemberists make for great programming music. Driving without being obnoxious.

7:27pm The cost, mediocrity, and unoriginality of most of the Drupal books at Borders is overwhelming. Looking at you, Packt.

11:32am @Noonz HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW?! (I bought it too)

5:47pm @theresaanna that's a very long way to say "RT"

1:27pm It is so nice outside, it's almost disorienting.

11:36pm tickets to san francisco booked. going to be there for a good long time. can't wait.

11:27pm @outlandishjosh also, I'm pretty sure that 'xc' in @rememberthemilk triggers a dopamine release.

10:30pm What does it mean if I add completed tasks to @rememberthemilk just so I can check them off?

5:39pm "In terms of user experience, it's sort of a cross between FOXNEWS and Tetris." http://bit.ly/cI6WoU

8:48pm @ryanobjc might try HBase on a standalone app via web service and push aggregates to MySQL, which PHP will read.

7:00pm Being around tech people who aren't Drupalers is disorienting.

5:42pm @Dries can you give them a year of experience while you're at it :-)

5:14pm Liking the look of HBase a lot, but if you're building apps in native PHP, Python, Ruby, it seems tricky.

3:44pm @TheRealCrell there's a lot of anti-fanboi talk at this conference (NoSQL Live Boston). Some people really dislike the term "NoSQL"

2:55pm @chx @therealcrell agreed, it just surprises me that NoSQL vendors bash MySQL, and MySQL doesn't respond with code or marketing.

12:34pm I suspect that #NoSQL's success is largely due to lack of innovation by MySQL post-acquisition.

12:47am @davidstrauss and I have made this into valid PHP: $a['b']['c']->GET('/'); // hint b and c are undefined, and $a is an object, not an array
