Aweekstweets November 22-29 2014: the week of thinks and thanks

Does anybody have a clue what Jimmy Fallon & Bradley Cooper were laughing about last night on the Tonight Show? Or were they simply stoned?

Just glanced at a Twitter analytics breakdown of engagement rates of each of my tweets over the past month. Amazingly useless intelligence.

Just as the day after Xmas is Boxing Day, the day after Thanksgiving is Unboxing Day. It's the day we moved into this house, 23 years ago.

Database of every operational satellite orbiting Earth at this time (http://ow.ly/F3IYR )

Relistening to my copy of my favorite LP of 2014: Ty Segall "Manipulator." 17 songs, and all of them are dynamite rock 'n' roll.

Alan Turing's biography was readymade for heroic retellings. John von Neumann a bit trickier, but doable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann …

Dear Pro Masseuses: If you want a good tip, refrain from introducing phrase "I hope you leave a good tip" into the shake...I mean rub...down

Bloomberg TV show says robots have 2 parts: sensors & actuators. Actually, so do “things.” Internet of robots?

I am not interested in new gadgets for Xmas. Socks, ties, dress shoes, and a nice business suit sound fine. I’m old & boring.

For a quick glance at the buzz of the moment, I still come back to Twitter. No other medium serves this purpose quite as well.

Charm offensive. If it’s truly charming, it’s not offensive in the slightest. Disarms defenses.

Black Friday. Actually, it’s daytime and there’s a little sun & blue in the cracks of the clouds. Avoiding the crowds. Going to the masseuse

Fall is officially over. By that I mean all the leaves have fallen from the trees in our yard. Winter is here in all its arboreal nakedness

3D printing. It will transform sculpture much the way CGI revolutionized the art of cinema.

RT @EconUS: #OPEC no longer rules supreme. America now produces more oil than Saudi Arabia http://econ.st/1CkttKD 

RT @kexpplaylist #kexp Kill The Fun by Haley Bonar from Last War JK--2014. Very nice. Minneapolis-based artist. Sounds Bangles-influenced.

We all know that Santa does not have a workshop at the North Pole. But I suspect elves are hard at work in Superman's Fortress of Solitude

3-D printing. I'd like a "Superman logo" font that literally pops words out of the page as if from another dimension: http://ow.ly/EYQGy 

RT @kexpplaylist #kexp A Summer Long Since Passed by Virginia Astley frm From Gardens Where We Feel Secure JK--1983. A hushed ambient beauty

Thanksgiving. Odd that the US has a holiday that, among its meanings, represents the starting gun in prep for another holiday a month later

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Second largest source of helium in our solar system after the Sun. You can look it up (at this tweet).

Thanksgiving. A holiday set aside for watching America's team: the Detroit Lions. Or at least I told myself growing up in Motown's 'burbs.

RT @rpasschier: A well made wearable is one you don’t remember wearing most of the time http://ow.ly/EY4wH  #iot #wearabletech


RT @GJ7300: Twitter Experimenting With Embedded Analytics http://buff.ly/1yf5tUa 

I don’t believe in “troughs of disillusionment.” I do believe in cycles of startups & shakeouts. Follow the capital.

Economy’s improving. WashPost Thanksgiving edition has thicker ad wad than in recent years. Actual newspaper remains undelivered. Wha....?

RT @kexpplaylist #kexp Germs Burn by Thurston Moore from The Best Day JK--2014. Love the pounding, grinding, ringing electric guitar on this

Facebook introducing "Privacy Basics" as of Jan 1. I'm assuming that the first "basic" is "stay off Facebook."

RT @kexpplaylist #kexp In the Street by Big Star from #1 Record / Radio City JK--1972. Aka "The 'That 70s Show' Theme."

Finished all my quick-hits for next week. I'll rattle off 2 more weeks' worth next week to fill out th year. Another breather around Xmas

Reading the chronology of Marion Barry’s life in today’s Washington Post. Sorry litany. Reminds what an embarrassment he was to DC.

CBS “60 Minutes” still uses that ticking mechanical stopwatch. I’d also like to suggest chalkboards & flipcharts in lieu o computer graphics

Iced tea. There aren't any iced-tea snobs to speak of. I like that about iced tea. Unpretentious yet refreshing. Not dripping with hipness.

What would be radical is if all shoe manufacturers denominated sizes in length & width of th foot that would be most comfortable in the shoe

My shoe size is anywhere between 10 and 12, medium to wide. Per my latest inventory of all the comfy ones of multiple makes in my closet.

People say Crystal City has no soul. It's not true. I once worked here for a few years. Its soul is knowledge workers exerting selves to max

Morning's speakers spent more time than necessary defining #bigdata. Mine will be the soul of brevity.

Yet another “big data is like teenage sex” spiel. Yeah, sure. It’s becoming self-service.

A “women’s unisex rest room”? What the...?!!

Good. I’ve tricked a lot of people into reading one of my original poems. I get my jollies.

RT @kexpplaylist #kexp Forevermore by Thurston Moore from The Best Day JK--2014. Great new noise drone jam from ex-Sonic Youth principal
