 A wild and wacky day, whew. Roller coaster. Many things in progress. Working ten threads in parallel. Give me the courage to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I cannot, and the wisdom to know the difference!
 Coachella: 3 days of Music, Mayhem, and Amazing Spectacle. Ah man, I wish I could have gone. Just would have been so fun. These are the kinds of things, in the wake of getting hit by a car, that I'm trying to do, instead of not do. Maybe next year...

Dave Winer: What comes after location? His answer, a vector, as in applications which know which way you're moving as well as where you are. A lot of GPS apps already do this; my Sprint phone's nav app does, for example...

How silly / tone-deaf / stupid of them, and not to mention, this sort of excerpt totally falls within fair use. Here's a meta-parody, Hitler tries a DMCA takedown :)
