We need a new word for people who like and enjoy technology, but couldn’t give a shit about geek culture crap like Star Wars and Dr. Who.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the words “cosmologist” and “cosmetologist” are so similar. Not sure what I’m getting at.

@ttscoff Good idea
@ttscoff yeah, that’s my point. My monthly cycle started 3 days ago; @Evernote is lost to me for a month, long enough to find a replacement.
.@ttscoff I regularly use @Evernote, and until today would recommend it. But I rarely use even 50% monthly. I don’t need premium.
.@ttscoff I should pay for premium @Evernote just for a one-time move of notes to a different notebook? I don’t need it otherwise.
.@ttscoff I rarely use more than 50% o
Wow, @evernote just became useless to me. I decided to move 200 notes into a new notebook, and that ate up my entire month’s data allotment.

@JimmySlims Winter Games! I wonder if there’s a version of that anywhere online?
Having used Windows Mobile for a long time, I’m happy to see Microsoft’s plans, but only because it will push Apple to continue improving.

Google is “sorry for the concern we caused” (see bottom http://j.mp/9SAc6X) instead of for actually screwing up (http://j.mp/dukBxu).
Conspiracy theorist in me thinks Google released Buzz knowing they’d need to remove auto-following, but wanted the out-of-the-gate boost.
