Aweekstweets March 21-28 2015: the week I did an unexpected NYC trip





Have registered for, downloaded & started using the new Periscope service for streaming smartphone2world video. Scope me on Periscope.

Not sure if that "I used to hate pooping in public" YouTube commercial is elaborate put-on or most nauseating advertisement in human history

RIP Richard III. Perhaps, if you’d resembled Marty Feldman in “Young Frankenstein,” Shakespeare might have made you a comedy protagonist.

RIP Michael Brown. Songwriter-keyboardist of The Left Banke. Composed both of their gorgeous hits: “Walk Away Renee” & “Pretty Ballerina.”

OK, enough of the "10 articles you absolutely must read." Go the next step: "1000 articles you must urge everybody in your country to read"

Whew. Weak. End. Whew!

I'm growing nuttier as I get older. For example, I challenge myself to do & write up insanely difficult analyses while in noisy airports

Improbably, I continued my usual thought-leadership output through the reorg-roiled and travel-interrupted past few weeks. Hanging on fine

Touring Test. Detects whether machine intelligence can spot tourist traps as rapidly as the most jaded human vacationer.

Even if no time 2 read something that's sorta interesting, I run my eyes over it. Words are textures. Like glancing at fabric. Patterns tell

Not sure if I should list self on Facebook as "public figure." A bit pretentious. Think I'll go with "historically significant personage."
