Amazed at the SOPA/PIPA and Komen internet activation. Dismayed at lack thereof for NDAA. http://t.co/Dt48FbRO

Yeah, I'm a dumbass. Twitter for Mac *has* threaded conversations. Taken me until now to figure out how to use it.

OK, clearly I need a twitter client that does threaded conversations. I'm using Twitter for Mac. Recommendations?

Still can't get over @Firstavenue scheduling next Sat's @RailroadEarth show for 6:30PM. Get hippies out early to make way for youngs.

If I still lived in Atlanta, you can bet your ass I'd be at the @RailroadEarth @VarPlayhouse show. Ah, Little Five Points.

@GlennF I admit to thinking FTTN was "good enough" in mid-2000s. I was wrong. (But I was desperate).
Saturday, 4 February 2012 6:35PM CST
@GlennF Heh. A close friend was deeply involved with Qwest's ISDN red-lining so we dang sure knew what was happening long ago.

@GlennF @dbrauer That's the model Moorhead, MN uses for electricity, gas, and water. Could've been second MN Miracle (if fiber, even FTTN).
Saturday, 4 February 2012 6:32PM CST
@GlennF I would agree with that.
Saturday, 4 February 2012 6:32PM CST
@GlennF Indeed. The question is how long before we recover? I hear they're running fiber in SW Mpls, but haven't lit it (right @dbrauer)?
Saturday, 4 February 2012 6:31PM CST
@GlennF There was that argument here as well, but rejected harder than public utility WiFi.
Saturday, 4 February 2012 6:29PM CST
@GlennF Lots of outstate MN communities have publicly owned utilities. The argument I always use in this is Atlanta's water system.
Saturday, 4 February 2012 6:28PM CST
@GlennF Vehemently disagreed then and still do now. The network should have been a public utility.
Saturday, 4 February 2012 6:26PM CST
@GlennF Which statement? Amendment 21?
Saturday, 4 February 2012 6:21PM CST
The Minneapolis WiFi network should have been publicly owned. Because it's not, the city grossly overpays USI Wireless. http://t.co/w1GdtqcB

Here's the NYT piece on UN's Agenda 21: http://t.co/7CYtqDG3

I despise political litmus tests, and I need to do more research, but it's looking like UN's Agenda 21 may be pretty effective litmus test.

Wonderful dreams last night, hoar frost and a flock of geese migrating north this morning, and motorcycles on Univ. Ave. Bottomed out?

Instead of trying to find a way around Harper's irrelevance, read the Authors Guild's backstory: http://t.co/I3n9OOuw

The February Harper's has Barry C. Lynn's tremendous article on publishing. Too bad it's not online, and, therefore, irrelevant.
