How was I not following @TheRealNimoy before? Thank the Shatner. Also, Sheldon meets Spock tonight. I'm happy for him.
@leolaporte Your current shoes are too old to walk to the store? We don't hold with that online shopping stuff in Canada.
Download faster!
Won a free copy of the @Newsweek Beatles issue! I never win Twitter contests.
I often find that lawyers have trouble calling me Billy. I should find a way to turn this to my advantage.
@gruber The simplest and most impressive thing about Paper is that nothing happens when you rotate the iPad. Like paper.

Gave 4 stars to Interface by Neal Stephenson on Goodreads.
I enjoyed this book a lot. It was written in 1994 and Stephenson hadn't quite developed the "infodump" at this point, but I definitely recognized the writing...

I disagree, #TTC. Free papers on subway seats are a great way to pass the time. Plus, reuse saves trees. http://t.co/7ozgpmKP

SEO experts capitalize on Mies van der Rohe architecture

It shouldn't surprise me since it's a sneaky SEO strategy (all SEO strategies are sneaky) that makes perfect sense. The Doodle ensures that millions of people will run a particular search that day (Mies van der Rohe architecture). If you create an article that uses those terms, then you can drive some extra traffic to your publication. People who come to find out who Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is will stay to read a couple other articles. Still, it saddens me to see news reporting subordinated to Google Doodles. It's not the architect or the Doodle that's the news, the news is SEO.

It hurts my brain to see an author get who vs whom correct and end that same sentence with a proposition.

I don't get it, @Android. I tried to "play" The Hunger Games, but the movie never started. Instead, I got a book, which cannot be "played".
