One of my favourite podcast hosts on one of my favourite podcast networks: @GinaTrapani on @5by5. http://lar.me/27d
In this rant on “social media buttons”, @iA reveals some of his assumptions. Insight needs more care. http://lar.me/27c
“It’s not just you! http://saintsal.com looks down from here.” http://lar.me/27a /cc @SaintSal
Concierge services through @FlowApp. Wonder how it works in practise but I’m intrigued. http://lar.me/279
eBikes mentioned by @Asymco as part of disruptive technology. http://lar.me/278 /cc @Velec
Original version (NYT, 2009) of Mark C. Taylor’s description of academia beyond what we can conceive. http://lar.me/276
J’adore la Petite-Italie mais avec le nombre de gros véhicules sur Saint-Laurent, on se croirait au Texas.
On dirait que @Arctus_conseil utilise CF7 de @Takayukister… ;-)
Wishing @Duolingo had a mode with #Gamification toned down a notch or three…
Would it be difficult for @Instapaper or @Readability to add wordcount/readingtime?
Tasteful and useful notes from @Gruber about @TheTalkShow, @MuleRadio, @5by5, and @DanBenjamin. Yay! http://lar.me/273
So @TonxCoffee ships to Canada? If it weren’t for my coffee-free diet and upcoming European trip… http://lar.me/272
Quoting @Om out of context: “Here is my answer if you don’t want to deal with Quora.” http://lar.me/271
Anyone would like a @Duolingo account? I’m learning a bit of German. French and Spanish are also available.
As we all know, @HotDogsLadies does his best work when he’s unprepared. @DanBenjamin is his enabler. http://lar.me/270
A looming academic crisis? “Is College’s Stone Age About to End?” Mark C. Taylor via @BloombergView http://lar.me/26-
What @Nora3000 didn’t mention in @SparkCBC interview with @Livehoods: St-Laurent used to divide Mtl by language (Anglo:West::Franco:East).
These days, the Southwest part of Montreal would be ideal for @Livehoods: Griffintown destroyed by highway then rebuilt by community.
So now @SparkCBC cares about its Mtl listeners! ;-) Map of Montreal’s @Livehoods: http://lar.me/26z
So, @Nora3000, how long ago were you in the Mile End? It’s changed radically in the past 10 years. Also, check history of St-Laurent blvd.
Makes sense that @HotDogsLadies eventually moved away from “Inbox Zero”. Can’t wait for his Old Butcher phase. http://lar.me/26v
Par moments, c’est comme si le “drum corps” de Black Watch jouait avec «Les Tambours de la Montagne». #CasserolesEnCours
Un peu de clave latin avec une “timeline” ghanéenne, qui va vers un peu de samba brésilienne? #CasserolesEnCours
Les #CasserolesEnCours deviennent plus harmonieuses. c’est comme ça qu’on crée une société, non?
Surprised that @JesseBrown went with the “or your wife will take the wrap with you” line, after @TorontoGoat interview. http://lar.me/26u
Started using @DragonTweets Dragon Express after the @WendyCherwinski @MacPowerUsers episode. Then @MacSparky talks about it with @Siracusa…
The fact that @HotDogsLadies presents his fav work in reversechron might be a sign of improvement. http://lar.me/26t
Got some clay teapots yesterday. Will likely use the @ThymeBombe seasoning method. http://lar.me/26s
There they are: 3.6k words of @DanBenjamin and @HotDogsLadies. #BULKbag4 http://lar.me/26r
Looking into Gabaix and Laibson on “shrouded prices”. How can @SuperStarSaver get away with transparency? http://lar.me/26q
The uphill battle against price shrouding in US retail. Isn’t Europe different? (via @RedTapeChron) http://lar.me/26p
After Chrome passed IE, funny to think about Jobs introducing Safari for Windows. (via @johnolilly) http://lar.me/26o
Got motivated by @WendyCherwinski to… try @DayOneApp. Inspiring @MacPowerUsers workflow episode. http://lar.me/26n
So, @MacSparky, your family is from Qc? Whereabouts? Any Francophone in there?
Paroles de chanson: «Ma vie est en suspens, prise en otage par une loi injuste.»
As I told an Austrian and a Czech, on a train from Prague to Vienna, the only German words I know are klangfarbenmelodie and weltanschauung.
I’d probably have a hard time learning German. Saw „versehen”, read „verstehen”. Mistaken insight?
Controversy? “Integration with Flattr has been removed” @vemedio http://lar.me/26l
Good job, @Gruber. Your “solo album” is shaping up nicely. And thanks for the honesty. http://lar.me/26k
Listening to @Siracusa on @5by5, getting download notification for @TheTalkShow episode with @LonelySandwich. #GeekSurge
“software engineering suffers from extreme ageism and workaholism.” @MarcoArment http://lar.me/26j
Sounds strange: “I know it would be really bad luck, if your computer crashed 2 days after you signed up for backup”
Not doing much WebDev work, but I still got Coda 2 and Diet Coda from @Panic, at special price.
Used to say that “learning happens despite teachers”. @Eric_Mazur helps me say that “learning happens beyond teaching”.
The “we had to learn ourselves” line is almost a badge of honour, for interactive teachers like @Eric_Mazur (and me).
Sign of an adept presenter: @Eric_Mazur did cater to Dawson audience, using his “Confessions” as base… http://lar.me/26f
Do we need to fight for our rights? @TorontoGoat debriefs… http://lar.me/26e
“a reminder of how essential it is that those who stand for freedom stay always vigilant” @TorontoGoat http://lar.me/26c
Any hope for “Western Asia” (official UN designation) catching on? “Middle East” is so confusing and Eurocentric…
