Laura Kalbag:
All you strange folk telling me to push my brain back up my nose…listen, if it comes out my ears, it’s going back that way…
Laura Kalbag if you're a #peanuts fan, you could always try jump starting your brain. But watch out for trees.
Booked my bus travel to Heathrow — so now I can at least get to #iceland, however little further preparation I do!
Twitter’s “you only see replies from people you follow if you also follow the target of the reply” model is quite fascinating because it means that, within a particular community, the number of tweets you see is not directly proportional to the number of people you follow. It’s probably square or cubic, perhaps I’ll model it and see.
.Brennan Novak yeah, it’s like driving — the ability to concentrate on your overall journey, the road in the distance, the road ahead, the road directly in front of you, the road behind and all the various controls at the same time.

Building a document templating and styling system in #python. Been meaning to do this for a long time, finally the awkwardness of using indesign for my contracts, invoices and estimates has become too stupid
Sophie Dennis:
And our other persona, Daisy. We all like Daisy more than Lily #gsj13 http://t.co/hCC6Zg3ic7
My hair needs cutting. Perhaps I could sell it to Chinese “medicine” “practitioners” for a mint, as it’s made of the same stuff as Rhino horn :/
Turns out the closest instrument to the #gurdy trompette is not the snare drum as I previously thought, but the dot matrix printer (9:30 in):

Currently #watching: Will Wright and Brian Eno on Generative Systems:
For all his smugness and #gurdy misrepresentation, I’m actually really impressed with Howard Goodall’s conclusion to the Story of Music. In particular the closing segment, where he satisfyingly sums up the history of #music in about four sentences.
Most of the series was moderately interesting historical info, but concluding by linking the advent of the Play button to Bach’s notation style is quite profound.
Erin Jo Richey:
@BarnabyWalters It's quite nice music for working to or walking to actually. Although my choice in music is sometimes a bit strange.
Erin Richie thanks for the recommendation, I’ll give it a go! RE strange choice in music: try one of my favourite experimental #gurdy pieces out:
Brother: “Einstein on the Beach?”
Me: “That’s an opera?”
Brother: “That’s a thing?!”
Aral Balkan:
By the way, quite a few examples of the male gaze (http://t.co/fRk67WPvjz) in those jokes. See if you can spot them.

Aral Balkan I was just reading those and thinking “I’m surprised Aral’s shared this — then again perhaps it’s some kind of test”
I did a #webaction #toolbelt video:
New stuff: Web Action Hero Toolbelt and <action> markup on individual note pages. #webactions
