What I Tweeted, 2012-06-24 Edition

My tweets of the last week:

Just learned @amanda_nan has never seen The Matrix. Appalling. We're remedying this immediately. #
@mikeyil @amanda_nan Don't worry, she's seen star wars. in reply to mikeyil #
@mikeyil @amanda_nan "How did she jump through that window?" @not_pele "When can you watch Matrix w/someone who has never seen it? Not ever" in reply to mikeyil #
@fitofwhimsy @ChrisUrie @polymwac @therausch09 @ericsmithrocks @aworldgoesnova As you can see, there is definitely room for you to be meaner in reply to fitofwhimsy #
@aworldgoesnova Your first mistake is exercising after Club. Your second mistake is that you are not too drunk to exercise after Club. in reply to aworldgoesnova #
SO HARD to not talk along to Matrix when you have someone with you watching it for the 1st time. Do you have movies where this is an issue? #
@polymwac @aworldgoesnova @fitofwhimsy @ChrisUrie @therausch09 @ericsmithrocks Cunt Game w/book titles: Cunts & Sensibility & Seamonsters in reply to polymwac #
@maryestew Did you like it in the book? in reply to MaryeStew #
@cecilyk Oh, yes. I'm like, "Let me set this part up for you…" Also, I can sing all of the music cues in Clue. in reply to Cecilyk #
@jayvert Oh god. With @not_pele and I? That's like RHPS levels of shoutbacks. in reply to jayvert #
"What the hell have you gotten me into?!" – @amanda_nan, upon Neo leaving The Matrix for the first time. "What are these pod things!" #
Good morning! It's #140conf day! All that stands between me and NYC is deciding on my wardobe and a @megabus :) #
@polymwac @aworldgoesnova Now there are Lindor chocolates IN MY HOUSE. This is not okay. #
@theoreticalgirl WHAT?! That is bullshit. in reply to theoreticalgirl #
@theoreticalgirl I will say, generally venues need to put more stuff in writing. Never clear to me what we'll get, esp from bar tab split. in reply to theoreticalgirl #
@Cecilyk YAYYYY! I cannot wait for it! We are so very hyped up. in reply to Cecilyk #
@krochmal I used to get that if I auto-posted from other apps too many consecutive times. Major annoyance. in reply to Krochmal #
@gloriabell Only if you start scheduling just to create pretty pictures. in reply to gloriabell #
Today @ibx launches a new year-long campaign to help you #GetEven and erase stress from your life http://t.co/5ZUQxyti (PS: I named it) #
@k8iedid Thanks! My proposed tagline was "Don't get stressed, get even," but it was deemed too mean, possibly too much like a Die Hard quote in reply to k8iedid #
Just running a SM campaign from dodgy wireless on a double decker bus while @amanda_nan sings the Mission Impossible theme beside me. NBD. #
@thatdrew @amanda_nan Adventures in social media FTW. Sadly, the internet is too thin to do this while skydiving /cc @mikeyil in reply to thatdrew #
I apparently give interesting enough bus conversation that my eavesdroppers actually asked for my name before disembarking. Oh lord. #
@polymwac @aworldgoesnova @fitofwhimsy @ChrisUrie @therausch09 @ericsmithrocks In NYC, just passed a store named Giggle. in reply to polymwac #
@brimil @amanda_nan @mikeyil @thatdrew Hmm, does iPhone auto-correct to plain language? That would be cool. in reply to brimil #
Same exact hotel room as last #140conf12 Good omen or bad omen? #
@platypusjones We ate a lot of good food but were not super at figuring out the subway. Overall, I think that's the win column. in reply to platypusjones #
@platypusjones We are going to a restaurant with an ENTIRE MENU for cake and pie! in reply to platypusjones #
@LaPhemmePhoodie I refuse to believe it can get that bad after a gorgeous day like today. in reply to LaPhemmePhoodie #
Just witnessed @amanda_nan chat up one of her idols at the door of #140conf12 I think we may need a stretcher. #
Having my 2nd seafood dinner of the night with @amanda_nan and special guest @matthewebel. Still in love w/ @themermaidnyc. #
@suzymags @amanda_nan @matthewebel @themermaidnyc We have our West Coast seaside boy with us, and he guarantees they were phenomenal ;) in reply to suzymags #
Good morning! Had a lovely jog around the Upper West Side (What, me, jog?); now headed to #140conf12 to see @MatthewEbel open the day w/song #
@tostina It was a pleasure to help and get to meet you! Can't wait for the full Rochester download so I know what to do when I visit! ;) in reply to tostina #
@jennlyn81 Back at blue on Thursday! I never leave for long. in reply to jennlyn81 #
Can't wait for it to start! RT @140Conf: Ready for a great day at #140conf12 – if u can't join, watch LIVE http://t.co/IHf9Pshc #StateofNow #
@suzymags I had no idea you were so fervent; i'd certainly go with! in reply to suzymags #
Three years after I met him out in the schmooze lounge, finally getting to see @MatthewEbel play a set, opening #140conf12 #
Opening speaker @slavin_fpo talks about @warrenellis's comic Global Frequency to kick off #140conf12 Already music and comics. Awesome. #
Paraphrasing, but: The idea of eliminating the principal of distance in strange-to-stranger communication is a profound narrative #140conf12 #
@warrenellis @slavin_fpo Distributed super-heroism, distributed social good from strangers on SM, obvious parallels, etc. Cool nod I thought in reply to warrenellis #
"Over time we will move from automation to anticipation." GeekSquad founder @rstephens, we won't need geeks to make homes smarter #140conf12 #
@gloriabell Will do! @MatthewEbel is replacing the Exorcist music :) in reply to gloriabell #
"Why is there a retirement age instead of a retirement proportion?" – @datamarket, visualizing data can quickly answer demog ?s. #140conf12 #
We are creating our futures today faster than we can conceive of what the future might be- @Borthwick, connectivity critical mass #140conf12 #
@matthewebel @gloriabell Really, it wasn't Exorcist? I was sure that's what it was… in reply to matthewebel #
@matthewebel @gloriabell Much less scary that way, though… in reply to matthewebel #
http://t.co/SSR0fNqo – awesome website of simple, comprehensible, 1-color icons of common nouns. LOVE. #140conf12 #
80% of ppl say they would use tools to narrow down search then walk away to get a personal opinion – @stefanweitz, Sr Dir of Bing #140conf12 #
@amyvernon That's a pull quote, if I've ever heard one. #140conf12 in reply to AmyVernon #
@suz925 Are you going to be in Philly tomorrow? I'm headed back there from NYC!! in reply to suz925 #
@juliarosien Agreed – everyone is smart & a storyteller, but I love when we get some exciting, funny speakers before noon on D1! #140conf12 in reply to JuliaRosien #
Ask any audience in America if they know the term @SesameStreet. You might find 1-2 in a crowd that don't. That's ubiquity! #140conf12 #
OMG LOST @SESAMESTREET TEST CLIPS #140conf12 #
@juliarosien Indeed I am! #140conf12 in reply to JuliaRosien #
(Trying to restrain myself to 1-2 tweets per speaker; 12-15 an hr. If that's too much, let me know, I'll remind you to re-follow on Thurs.) #
@smashleydubs @melissa_shae Hearing from the creator of the "Mad Men Yourself" app. 'Nuff Said. #
@trivworks HA. in reply to TrivWorks #
Intriguing ?: is appointment TV surviving because it is now truly an EVENT, with conversations occurring around it in real time? #140conf12 #
If you want more intense #140conf12 coverage, @AmyVernon tweets out many of the best facts and pull-quotes from speakers. #
The flip side: room for Tape Delay anymore? "Time zones will collapse," says @rishimalhotra. Who wants to watch AFTER the convo? #140Conf12 #
@jgibbard 1 thing that 8yrs after I gave up TV tempts me back. I miss that live back&forth w/friends. Same w/tradewaiting comics. #140Conf12 in reply to jgibbard #
1st LOL moments of the day, @kevinhoneycutt, art teacher, self-taught guitarist. Says: Try trusting the meanest kid in the room. #140conf12 #
And, we have my first cry of the day. Take note, @tostina. #140Conf12 #
Devices & Web2.0 prepare a buffet [of info] for kids & they're eating the napkins. (Mistakes kids make on social) @kevinhoneycutt #140Conf12 #
@kevinhoneycutt You are brilliant. Thank you for reminding me about learning to play guitar and how it was great to make mistakes #140Conf12 #
@tostina I cannot even process everything he is saying and also enjoy it as much as it deserves. This will be rewatched :) #140Conf12 in reply to tostina #
Why aren't we investing in public education? If we invest in a 21st century edu system, we'll have a 21 century economy. @Rasiej #140conf12 #
@tostina I would jam with that band any time ;) #140Conf12 in reply to tostina #
Congress supported SOPA/PIPA b/c they trust ppl they've received $ from for yrears; they won't lose their seats over IP. @Rasiej #140Conf12 #
"You can shut down the public internet, but you cannot shut down the internet public." @Rasiej #140Conf12 #
@not_pele @Phillygrrl Eloping and then throwing an amazing party (without wedding upcharges) is the IDEAL. in reply to Not_Pele #
On stage @ #140Conf12 @jackabramoff. "Tragically, many of the things I did were legal." @jeffpulver seemed atypically nervous intro-ing it. #
I don't have a business card. I guess I could put on there Felon. I'm a former lobbyist who saw the light @jackabramoff on himself#140Conf12 #
Moderator: "Who is the easiest to bribe or influence: congressmen, governors, mayors?" @jackabramoff: "Yes." #140Conf12 #
Socially share struggle, support grief, & change the world for better after personal tragedy. @tjzmommy is absolutely captivating #140Conf12 #
Mom lost her son, connected w/Elmo's puppeteer, fundraised for other sick kids, & scripted a special message for them from Elmo. #140Conf12 #
@BeckyMcCray I just love you. So very happy you are on the stage again today for your 10th #140Conf12 You are a positive force in life. #
Behind the @ChrisBrogan with his parents, @DianeBrogan & @SteveBrogan. They were so sweet to us as we volunteered last night! #140Conf12 #
In our relationships, 5:1 is the ratio…5 positive interactions negate 1 negative interaction. @AndreaSyrtash success in Life/Love #140Conf12 #
I must say, @MatthewEbel is killing it as live musical cues for #140Conf12 Many recognizable little melodies, but also sensitive moments. #
Beautiful moment, @KarmicEvolution on defeating anxiety & living life, ends singing "Let It Be" while audience hums along. Chills #140Conf12 #
Hearing from the amazing @hardlynormal on creating @InvisiblePeople w/$45 & crashing his 1st Social Media Club mtg for the food. #140Conf12 #
Prevailing theme of the conference is "It's okay to be unwell." You can find support, community & wellness in your social journey #140Conf12 #
(I'm tweeting 1-2 thoughts per speaker at #140Conf12 If it's too much for you, just let me know, I'll remind you to follow again on Thurs.) #
I have a request! Will you share your #my3wishes w/me? Found a genie? Won the lottery? What would you do for yourself and others? #140Conf12 #
Interesting: Magazines used HAPPY to sell, now use LUCK. People who empower themselves say they feel more lucky. @EllenWhitehurst #140Conf12 #
@EllenWhitehurst I love when a light talk about Feng Shui turns into instructions on how we can all be luckier. You are wonderful #140Conf12 #
@karmicevolution You are a gem. So funny and genuine, exactly what should be on this stage. #140Conf12 in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@tostina Yeah, that's going to hang in my all-time favorite #140Conf moments, esp. how the audience so gently hummed along. in reply to tostina #
@melissa_shae @smashleydubs He was a marketer for the channel or the production company at the time? It was a passing mention in the talk. in reply to melissa_shae #
Think about water it takes to flush a toilet. Could take someone >2hrs to carry that much water to their home in Africa. @ronjdub #140Conf12 #
& that wasn't even THE POINT of that talk. Was about the connection between data & human stories, & how good data tells a story. #140Conf12 #
“Culture is the new marketing currency. Culture is your brand. Get in touch with the position of your brand.” @hankwasiak #140Conf12 #
The most successful brands build around something other than making a profit. They are built around ideals (a 3:1 ratio!) – #140Conf12 #
I experience this every day. Whether it's a band or an insurer, brands that have an ideal/mission can more easily find advocates. #140Conf12 #
Utterly transfixed by back-to-back @hankwasiak & @rotolo. Oh, and a hilarious "Call Me Maybe" viral vid by @HaileyTemple! #140Conf12 #
All of the Philly contingent agrees :) RT @jgibbard DITTO! RT @AmyAllStar @rotolo is 1 of my all time favorite #140conf12 speakers (all yrs) #
@mekya05 YES, I love it! No post-lunch naptime today. #140Conf12 in reply to Mekya05 #
Best, most energetic speakers so far? Two teachers and a college student. Crowd currently transfixed by @ibudmen from Syracuse! #140Conf12 #
@amyzquinn SOLD. in reply to AmyZQuinn #
@Mekya05 That's cause this guy is killing it ;) #140Conf12 in reply to Mekya05 #
@ibudmen Q1 What did you use to create yr killer preso? Q2 Is any brand making good use of auto physical rewards for check-ins? #140Conf12 #
"Blogging now is like writing a novel; it's the most archaic thing." Wow. Don't agree, but goes to show how quickly social shifts #140Conf12 #
"If you don't have a message prior to a new medium it doesn't matter. You're still talking BS." @jeffstaple, a quotable gold mine #140Conf12 #
Really intriguing to hear from plugged-in folks in industry that's FAST to adopt new ad mediums. Where we're all headed? Maybe. #140Conf12 #
@haileytemple I love that you found people who were inherently hilarious, even when we don't know the context of them. #140Conf12 in reply to haileytemple #
@karmicevolution Definitely, unless it's offering a look behind the scenes at something consumers rly want to see. Better tools. #140Conf12 in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@ibudmen Awesome, thanks! in reply to ibudmen #
Hearing from @TheBellinanator, choreographer of the ridiculously amazing Isaac's Live Lip Dub Proposal http://t.co/Mjh0ATLY #140Conf12 #
@TheBellinanator Damn, you are a great speaker in addition to being a great choreographer. #140Conf12 #
"A child who plays an instrument is 52% more likely to go to college." @TheBellinanator, who I now officially adore. #140Conf12 #
@140Conf You are killing me this year. Amazing story after amazing story with barely a chance to catch my breath. I love it. #140Conf12 #
@matthewebel YES! I love the crazy injection of music and poetry into this year. It's so alive! #140Conf12 in reply to matthewebel #
@JustGregPoet @SeffAlAfriqi PHILLY REPRESENT! So much art in our town, and you are amazing representatives. #140Conf12 @AmyAllStar @jgibbard #
@140Conf KILLING ME. #140Conf12 #
@lalwei To be fair, when do we ever see this much cool stuff all in one day? ;) #140Conf12 in reply to LALWei #
Must be said that new original tune @thechrisbarron opened with was outstanding. But, writing your biggest hit at 19 – wow. #140conf12 #
A record is a mrktg tool for a fan to buy into artist & their personality. Having a song out there dangling is not the end goal. #140Conf12 #
@tostina While I remember (for later discussion): Friend's wife is headed to *Eastman* for the voice masters program. #
Interesting to hear that execs use SM for A&R research, not only for numbers/engagement, but in how they define themselves. #140Conf12 #
(I'm @140conf today and tomorrow, trying to contain tweets to 20ish an hour. If it's too much, let me know, I'll invite you back on Thurs.) #
@IAmMrSid Shout out from the stage! ;) #140Conf12 in reply to IAmMrSid #
"The media don't buy records, the people buy records" @cthagod, on media "demonizing" artists who reveal too much/personal on SM. #140Conf12 #
@IAmMrSid Haha, I didn't mean me, I meant @cthagod walking on stage and dropping the same comment about the Kardashians :) #140Conf12 in reply to IAmMrSid #
Philly at #140Conf12 with founder @jeffpulver http://t.co/pytYbaE5 #
Topic close to my heart, @JodySteinhauer thinks every biz should ask employees to volunteer at a charity that matters to THEM. #140Conf12 #
I love @LAlupusLady & @TiffanyAndLupus! Some of the brightest smiles at #140Conf12 using social to defeat their disease and be themselves. #
Goes to show, SM can connect the bullied and the minimized, whether it's a person, a organization, or a disease keeping them down #140Conf12 #
For someone who has been touring for something like 20yrs, @thechrisbarron still has a beautiful, sonorous voice. #140Conf12 #
@tostina HA! #140Conf12 in reply to tostina #
There are new rules of work. Old rules were for a post-industrial society. People must be more self-driven/self-reliant. @gbolles #140Conf12 #
@140Conf I'll say an ongoing weakness across three years I've seen is how long it takes panel moderators to set up their panels. Just start! #
"If you can't step up and celebrate some else's success, don't be surprised when no one is smiling for you." So true. @weewelcome #140Conf12 #
"The minute you get into that scarcity mentality you're out of the game." Congrat others, share content, be yrself @alysonschafer #140Conf12 #
I believe I have reached my limit of fact absorption for a single day. #
@not_pele I found Voice Tea in The Village! http://t.co/Ukzcjsfl #
@dreamhost @dreamhoststatus Help! Getting HTTP ERROR:504 Gateway Timeout on all of my DH sites and can't get into panel. Just my connection? #
Good morning! After sleeping in a bit, it's about time I hunted down a good NYC bagel. What are you seeking today? #
@140conf In that it writes more hit singles, has a sense of humor & effortlessly wins radio play? Bad analogy, slightly offensive #140Conf12 in reply to 140Conf #
Chat about music industry & bullying w/ @ThatEricAlper & discovered @LilJaxe, a 13yr-old who defeats his stuttering with rapping. #140Conf12 #
@Not_Pele I would get on a bus right about now. Or, feel like driving up to NYC for lunch? ;) in reply to Not_Pele #
Powerful speakers at the conference this morning, but with fractured messages. Not feeling the typical 140 momentum like I did yesterday. #
Authenticity: "Be a 1st-rate version of yourself, because a 2nd-rate version of someone else is not good enough." – @JuliaRosien #140Conf12 #
@tiffanyandlupus For sure! #140Conf12 in reply to TiffanyAndLupus #
@tiffanyandlupus I just went on a hug-deploying mission to the schmooze room, but could not locate you ;) in reply to TiffanyAndLupus #
@tiffanyandlupus I'm in the auditorium too, just where we were sitting behind you yesterday! I'll catch you between this one and the next 1 in reply to TiffanyAndLupus #
Ad model: 1rE^2 zag = 1 message that's relevent, engaging, and emotion, and it must zag while everyone else zigs. – @arnteriksen #140Conf12 #
Joined @LAlupusLady & @TiffanyAndLupus in the front row at #140Conf12 for @ThatEricAlper & @jeffpulver's talk on music. Re-energized! #
"Bullshit recycles as life. … If there wasn't shit, there wouldn't be any life." – @DeepakChopra (Yes. Really.) #140Con12 #
@KarmicEvolution I have to come and sit with you for a talk or two! #
"There is no event that does not have a brain representation." Say a mean thing, create a mean synaptic connection. @DeepakChopra #140Conf12 #
"I am responsible for what I see. I choose the feelings I experience and set the goals I will achieve." Something to meditate on. #140Conf12 #
"Let's commit to 100m people who make a personal commitment to be happy, to be healthy, to live peacefully…" @deepakchopra #140Conf12 #
@amanda_nan Never send me a headline that reads "@ChrisColfer Struck By Lightning" without explaining it first! #
"The thing dictators have done is make people feel a part of something." On cultures that are "bankrupt of heroes." @gothamchopra #140Conf12 #
@SaraBareilles I swear, it could be my imagination, but they keep me alive beyond all reason. But: have you seen an ENT? in reply to SaraBareilles #
Super-powerful talk from @mysmarthands about baby signing. But not just that. "If you do nothing, nothing happens." Love. #140Conf12 #
All of these #140Conf12 Canadians are SPIES, I tell you! Spies. RT @karmicevolution: @krisis is getting his tweet on http://t.co/ZysgZeAM #
@digishoebox @KarmicEvolution The whole photo blog cover from @TJ is a fine, fine cover for your nefarious activities in US Social Media :) in reply to DigiShoebox #
"Mobilisation is the fastest-growing new "glocal" [AKA globally local] religion ever!" UNDP via @ralphsimon1 #140Conf12 #

@sarahrobinson I really wish you were a speaker at the #140Conf12 Have you ever attended one? You would be such a hit! in reply to SarahRobinson #
@KarmicEvolution If I had brought my travel guitar I would be kidnapping you to the lobby right now for a Beatles singalong :) #140Conf12 in reply to KarmicEvolution #
Global leader in mobile money payments? You'll never guess…it's KENYA, and their m-Pesa payments. And we're excited about @Venmo! #140Conf12 #
(I am embedded with the Canadian contingent at #140Conf12 trying not to send you all too many tweets. If it's too much, please let me know!) #
@140conf The bribe website is WILD & ingenious. What a genius way to combat corruption. Someone show this speech to @jackabramoff #140Conf12 in reply to 140Conf #
@karmicevolution I'm not allowed to sing right now anyway so leaving it at home was for my own good. We'll have to do it glocally #140Conf12 in reply to KarmicEvolution #
Help my brand be named Best in Philly! RT @ibx: Help us make it to the next round! Cast your vote today! http://t.co/wG21gftV #socialmadness #
@karmicevolution I have a bruise on 1 of my vocal chords! Puts a bit of a damper on a NYC trip. But, I got to sing w/a camera down my throat in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@karmicevolution Rocking too much? I dunno. Looks like someone punched my one vocal cord. Major whammy on my life, I sing, like…once an hour in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@mouselink He was so great! Might be one of my top five talks of the conference so far. in reply to mouselink #
Balanced msg of distributed journalism and social disruption from @Timcast. "you should all get started." Vehemently well-spoken. #140Conf12 #
@karmicevolution Just 2wks, then I get the 1st-person adventure to the center of my voice again. Hopefully after that heading to the studio! in reply to KarmicEvolution #
People who left the room are fools: we're completely entranced by @EmilyGair and her incredible story. #BlameCancer then beat it #140Conf12 #
@karmicevolution What is your #1 go-to karaoke track? in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@phillygrrl Is that like joining a 3rd band because my 2nd band is so fun? I guess that's the more entertaining version. in reply to Phillygrrl #
@karmicevolution Agreed. Rather take a 2wk break then be Adele and not get to sing for months! (Well, many reasons to rather be Adele) in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@karmicevolution Do you also do Pink? She's in that same range (and from my hometown!) in reply to KarmicEvolution #
Fun fact: @steviegpro produced Hanson, Joss Stone, Jonas Bros, but he won his Grammy (and barked on) "Who Let the Dogs Out" #140Conf12 #
"How SM lost me my job at Columbia Records." @steviegpro on breaking the radio/TRL promo model & how Record Cos didn't understand #140Conf12 #
@KarmicEvolution I never realized how much I sing CONSTANTLY. People's names. Harmony to the radio. Little catchphrases. Constantly. in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@140Conf I love when @JeffPulver goes rogue and asks an extra question because he's so engrossed in a talk ;) #140Conf12 #
@MatthewEbel OMG, you maniacally giggling in the background right now, killing me. #140Conf12 #
Damn, I cannot believe our time at #140Conf12 is a half an hour away from being over! #
@dwntwnmrsbrown @AdelanteLive OMG, who are those monsters in 1st? in reply to dwntwnmrsbrown #
"Writing a song is like going to the bathroom; once you get started it's just going to flow." True (crude) words – @PhilipNelson #140Conf12 #
@stevecizzle I think it's making it OKAY to be social awkward in reply to SteveCizzle #
@lalupuslady Agreed, I love the infusion of music & art this year. I think it keeps the stage alive between the wonderful talks. #140Conf12 in reply to LAlupusLady #
Finally, after three years of attending #140Conf12 we get a solo @MatthewEbel talk! #
"The term Starving Artist has been around long before Napster and other forms of music piracy. Money is just paper." @MatthewEbel #140Conf12 #
Heading home after absorbing an exhausting amount of info @ #140Conf12 So many amazing speakers, so many new friends! Thank you @JeffPulver #
@happyinspirit You're very welcome! There are so many impressive thoughts on that stage, I'm happy to share a few ;) in reply to happyinspirit #
@happyinspirit Favs included Kevin Honeycutt. @tjzmommy. @ibudman. The MN sex lady. Mobile tech guy. Really, lots of yesterday was amazing in reply to happyinspirit #
@happyinspirit I'll try to recap more coherently on the blog ;) in reply to happyinspirit #
@KarmicEvolution Aww, you are too sweet! You can DL me solo @ http://t.co/95a1PcPv and see my band at http://t.co/2D8SiNWL in reply to KarmicEvolution #
#140Conf12 Be geniune. Help others. Brands are stories. Own your message. Try. Don't confuse technology for connection. Change the world. #
@KarmicEvolution I've never been! I'm trying to think if I cover any CDN artists. OH: We just did "If I Had 1m Dollars" for a wedding ;) in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@KevinLyons AGREED. Is that a musician thing? I wrote a line like that in my novel, and my editors told me that it would be annoying to them in reply to KevinLyons #
@MySmartHands I truly enjoyed your message and the way in which you delivered it. Bookmarking you for my babymaking friends! ;) #140Char12 in reply to MySmartHands #
@KarmicEvolution Our bassist likes older BNL, so when we found out it was a favorite song of the couple we learned it…but *I* played bass ;) in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@KarmicEvolution Once they did an acoustic Old Apt on Philly radio w the drummer playing a suitcase, I've been searching for it for 14yrs! in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@MySmartHands Do you find your daughter still signs now that she's older and is acquiring language? #140Conf12 in reply to MySmartHands #
@KarmicEvolution There is an ancient version of me doing it somewhere on my blog. In, like, Real Audio. Definitely my favorite BNL song. in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@sethgoldstein Thanks, Seth! Be careful making your way back home. in reply to sethgoldstein #
@amanda_nan So it is commanded, so it shall be done: RT @140Conf: If you want to do a #140conf in your town – DO IT! http://t.co/nBfsa8rp #
@HomeRecLibrary @Slateproaudio Wow, awesome tip, and new to me! Gonna try it in my studio tonight. in reply to HomeRecLibrary #
@HennArtOnline Oh, gosh, I'd take ONE extra me who's maybe a little sleepy ;) in reply to HennArtOnline #
Hard to believe that only 2hrs separate the endless bustle of NYC and the relatively tiny urban stretch of Philly, but always glad to return #
@matthewebel Ha, wish I could say the same for tomorrow. I'll eventually learn to take off the day after 140. So great to hang out w/you! in reply to matthewebel #
@jgibbard Ugh. @megabus has yet to fail me so far, although I know it's a roll of the dice every time we ride on what could go wrong. in reply to jgibbard #
And now, thanks to the magic of @septa, it will take 1/2 as long as it took to return from NYC to travel 5miles thru Philly back to my house #
It's easy to get spoiled after spending a few days on the awesme subway system in NYC. Or, Paris, for that matter. Stops on every block! #
@hchybinski Haha, i'd say that's a different kind of magic than unicorns, unless you're saying @septa only shows up on time for virgins. in reply to hchybinski #
@KarmicEvolution Awww, super-jeal we couldn't hang for after party, but boy am I ready for my own bed! in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@prtini Haha, totally normal! in reply to prtini #
Overheard on @septa: "Hey, astral projection, it's free – right? No expensive plane tickets." #
Unfortunate, b/c I respect her, but prefer her on hard int'l news RT @theinquisitr: Ann Curry Will Be Bumped From Today http://t.co/xTFWd6Vz #
@CamComicCorner Of the four from the relaunch I was digging Corps the most, it was very galactic and Star Wars-y. in reply to CamComicCorner #
Good morning! Happy to be back in Philly, even if it's already 15 degrees too warm for my liking. #
Behind-the-scenes with Bolaji Badejo, the actor behind the original xenomorph in Alien! http://t.co/cZ6wii3J #
@karmicevolution I definitely felt I had less lightbulbs this year, but that is because the stories were much more personal than business. in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@karmicevolution Not necessarily but this year the stories were largely more personal. Previously they had been more biz-oriented or… in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@karmicevolution Not a good or a bad, but a different flavor. in reply to KarmicEvolution #
In which I tell the story of crashing my car into a very large, very stationary object that I happen to live inside. http://t.co/2m2MDMWW #
@tarabusch What is your writing process? Do you still play your songs for fun? What do you do when you need to rest yr ears from recording? in reply to TaraBusch #
@interjection I am ultra-paranoid about the mirrors, and have managed not to clip them, but the rest of the car apparently is in more danger in reply to interjection #
Dreaded my 1st step into today's full-fledged heat. Not sure if I am mentally prepared. #
@liznead You're a revelation, inspiration, & burst of much-needed laughter. I usually don't dig love speeches but yours was an all-time fav. in reply to LizNead #
Hmm, looks like I could attend #140Conf12 Ontario for my birthday for well under $1k. Tempting… #
@amanda_nan Hmm. Perhaps it's time for the pink. in reply to amanda_nan #
Just realized I was in NYC for Northstar's NYC wedding in @Marvel's Astonishing X-Men #51 How cool! #
In other comic nerd news, w/ Uncanny X-Men #14 @KieronGillen's run on UXM is officially better than it has been since 1983. THAT'S 29 YEARS! #
The majority of X-Men fans alive today (me included) have never been able to buy the flagship title at this level of quality. Staggering. #
Good morning! Already hard at work researching data for a mailing. What's the most difficult task you have lined up for today? #
@karmicevolution @jasondyk Ha, I don't feel like one right now w/my guitar in the shop and on vocal rest, but all will be back to norm soon. in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@dgoodman_nbd That's definitely a hard one. My solution is to stay inside as much as possible, even to the point of starvation ;) in reply to DGoodman_NBD #
@interjection Just think, the pain will be temporary, and then you'll have a more permanent solution. in reply to interjection #
@muldwych @Chris_Thwipping @Comicheretic @ImageAddiction @sapha12 @CapeTownCmnty @LeviPTompkins Did you read UXM #14 ! in reply to Muldwych #
A little frustrating to have to explain to tech support what the native resolution of my screen is after researching it myself. #
@karmicevolution @jasondyk Every musical link you could possibly need is on my bio page: http://t.co/sBe1PxtW in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@amanda_nan As discussed on the bus, take a look at http://t.co/HE5jmzxo #
I have made it through one week of not singing on doctor's orders. It's awful, but my voice doesn't hurt nearly as bad. One more week to go… #
@interjection Nothing like adversity to make us love our art more, right? in reply to interjection #
@healthysapien So… nothing? in reply to healthysapien #
@lyndonjj I totally had impenetrable #140Conf12 haze yesterday, but I'm feeling the snappy, post-conference inspiration today :) in reply to lyndonJJ #
@allieharch Hell yes! Congratulations! So very excited for you, especially because this is so fitting and well-deserved. xoxo in reply to allieharch #
@iphillychitchat It turned me off about a year ago and I've never been back. Can't seem to find actual news stories anymore in reply to iPhillyChitChat #
Little sad about my non-singing, so listening to unreleased stuff from my past digital LPs. There's good songs in there! Need to record more #
The combo of @ChrisUrie & @amanda_nan have introduced us the ridiculous magic of Archer. Ep2, health insurance jokes. I'll see you tomorrow. #
Unless you are a Penn State alum, a newspaper supporter, or your life has been affected by abuse you have zero reason to be verdict-tweeting #
This really crystallizes my distaste with the American fixation on sensationalized news, aided and abetted by a 24/7 news cycle. #
@LunaTechie I have no feelings on it. It has absolutely nothing to do with my life. in reply to LunaTechie #
@inflammatorywrt I'd say that's "touched." in reply to inflammatorywrt #
@valkrye131 Truth. in reply to valkrye131 #
@valkrye131 Yes, I did leave out Legal Buffs. 140chars and all :) in reply to valkrye131 #
@philly_bits Still pretty cool, tho! in reply to philly_bits #
@emptychampagne @google Totally solving it right now ;) in reply to emptychampagne #
@KarmicEvolution Are you still in NYC partying? ;) Got my guitar back, at least now I'm not totally without a voice. in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@shunmahoney The ongoing flex account jokes are killing me. I have clients who need to watch this. Let's put it on the portal. in reply to shunmahoney #
Good morning! Gearing up for rock w/ @filmstarband. Heard us lately? Here we rehearse our customary opening tune http://t.co/BaVGPUFU #
@allthingsgwen It was you, wasn't it? in reply to AllThingsGwen #
@karmicevolution Too sweet! Here's a pair of secret tracks on the blog that didn't make that last LP: http://t.co/BVuYbS1h in reply to KarmicEvolution #
Was stymied on how to exclude pages from WP search w/o a plugin – the answer is 4 lines of PHP: http://t.co/DNkCdfoi #
Was about to pull the trigger on WP Thesis theme, but their How-To video makes the features look limiting and badly implemented. Sale = Lost #
What customizable theme framework do you use for your WP blog? #
I am usually a BOSS guitar pedal devotee, but they really strike out on bass pedals. Overdrive is noisy, Flange & Chorus barely do a thing! #
@PurpleCar Soon? My crazy month is over, and I can't sing right now anyway. Still free Mondays? in reply to PurpleCar #
That's an awful lot of grumbling. Pedals I like? MXR. Their bass fuzz is absolutely essential, love the range of options on their auto-wah #
Two good guides to deciding the order of your guitar fx pedals: http://t.co/xC9ZVNy9 & http://t.co/ukYp2NwE #
@PurpleCar Can't this Monday; writing for a Tuesday deadline. Following? in reply to PurpleCar #
@jgibbard @karmicevolution Top of head? Joni Mitchell. Aretha Franklin. Whitney Houston. Hard to leave off a rocker tho. Benatar? Heart? in reply to jgibbard #
@KarmicEvolution @jgibbard She had it for SO LONG, though, in so many settings. I love Lauryn, but she barely had it for 5yrs! in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@KarmicEvolution @jgibbard Hard call between Mariah and Whitney on a list of three. in reply to KarmicEvolution #
@karmicevolution @quirkycori Haha, I am watching "Truth or Dare" right now, no lie! in reply to KarmicEvolution #
Brief but fascinating. RT @copyblogger: Social (media) engineering. How Reddit Got Huge: Tons of Fake Accounts – http://t.co/TPyc93pI #
I don't understand how to-do list apps have all sorts of features but can't select my next task based on priority, due, & completeness. Boo. #
Loving this list of the top personal to-do apps on the web http://t.co/qQ7G0kco #
@marykateruf Wunderlist is cool if you just want tasks/projects. For tag, priorities, etc (i.e., like work) so far digging HiTask & Stacks. in reply to marykateruf #
@marykateruf However, the winner is probably Todoist, which is a little more fully-featured than Wunderlist. in reply to marykateruf #
@not_pele @platypusjones @mslyss The corn salad is divine. Thanks for sending some back for the grumpy, house-bound author half of us :) in reply to Not_Pele #
