@rmogull Rough. Any extra tickets? I'll leave before the Twolves start; I dislike basketball... :)

@rmogull Where's your talk in MSP?

Da Vinci’s “Study of a Womb”, ca. 1489.
@cullect That seems like the strongest application of the tool that is cullect.

@jennbarnett I would never. I am giving up on today and going to sleep though. That seems like a good plan.

At this rate, I'll never build up my following for the cult of @jth, which means that following will never finance my coups of the UN. Damn.

My Twitter usage patterns are starting to mimic my days of EverQuest: all or nothing. Twitter seems to be addictive in the same way.

@benperson Glad to see you haven't forgot about your Twitter friends!

Why on earth could I have not curled as well as I did tonight all weekend? Argh. Still, a good night.

@kaeti Happy to hear you're okay this afternoon. @noahkunin is right, get checked out anyway.

@stevemcgrath True two-factor may not be that much more secure, but it's more convenient IMO, even if I have to pay for the fob.
quotably 05:23 PM
@stevemcgrath I just wish I could find a bank that actually implemented two-factor instead of this "security question" bullshit.
quotably 05:23 PM
@stevemcgrath Most banks can't explain why they don't think two-factor is necessary. Regulators in not so many words say it's required.

Perused this post: http://is.gd/7TGF and am wondering what principles underly the [good] concepts and practices that Meier calls principles.

The world’s ugliest building, according to Virtual Tourist. I’m guessing there are many better candidates for ugliest building in the world, but you’ve got to start somewhere. I’d probably put #4 at #1, I’m guessing Parisians are the only ones that would agree with inclusion of Montparnasse Tower, and the photography accompanying this story is lacking.
The art of masonry. {c-monster}
Eugene Kuo’s photographs from a trip on Russia’s trans-Siberian rail line. Wonderful shots.

Now that’s a wicked snowflake. Found over on the Big Picture, photographs of extremely tiny things.
@s4xton Those questions and that process will be repeated at any online banking site, thanks to FDIC regulations passed a few years ago.

Lots of audit responses to wrangle today, then some guidelines to develop and some training to define. Are we having fun yet?

"That’s when you know America is truly supportive of diversity of opinion, when children must whisper for fear of being ostracized, heckled and crucifixed."

@tomelko Curling was good. Back at it tonight subbing for someone. How's the Far East?

@mollypriesmeyer I was thinking about a pet dog, but I could probably care for a pet plastic surgeon too...

@kgraetz I never felt the need for a student portfolio site when I graduated, not even sure conceptually how I would have used one.

Yet another phenomenal Big Picture over at the Boston Globe.

Decent commentary on CA Prop 8 by Keith Olbermann. Perhaps slightly over-dramatized, but it’s about time someone on TV shows some honest compassion. 2:12 PM
