RT FOR TRUTH @tofermoran<\/a>: Refusing to listen to Joanna Newsom singles until the album … so I can have an unspoiled listening experience. #<\/a><\/li>\n

@astonestreetnow<\/a> but, once understood, genuine poetry speaks again, blooms in the reader's mind, & grows runners to other modes of thought. in reply to astonestreetnow<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@astonestreetnow<\/a> skilled poetry needs all parts of the reader: mind, mouth, will, ear; flesh & soul; all the assemblage of the human at once in reply to astonestreetnow<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
google buzz actually looks neat, based on the presentation. a beefier, more featured version of twitter. (but, again, a pistolfingery name.) #<\/a><\/li>\n
google buzz seems more public than twitter, in the respect that what you put on there is closely linked to who & where you are. #<\/a><\/li>\n
i want to be able to post something publicly but keep my location linked to that post private. #googlebuzz<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@nathanmanley<\/a> thanks for the tip! do you know if it's possible to share location privately but post publicly? how granular is my control? in reply to nathanmanley<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@nicoletaylor28<\/a> as it is, you can introduce them to the snowmudslide. in reply to nicoletaylor28<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@nathanmanley<\/a> i hope so. and they'll tweak it over time. in reply to nathanmanley<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@tdelucci<\/a> via bad weather or the benevolence of your overlords? (also: hi. haven't talked to you since comic-con, i think. yeesh.) in reply to tdelucci<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@tdelucci<\/a> priorities: you have the right ones. in reply to tdelucci<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
i want the ability to send my friends links to any point on a given page. instead saying "scroll down about four paragraphs, third sentence" #<\/a><\/li>\n
have given website advice to two friends this week. makes me think i should change mine up a bit… maybe consolidate it under wordpress. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@elleeffect<\/a> thanks! (i am no designer. i am the opposite of a designer. when does your new site go live?) in reply to elleeffect<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n

@damiengwalter<\/a> delany's ideas on paraliterature might be helpful, but i haven't read those essays of his yet, just quotes. #literaryfantasy<\/a> in reply to damiengwalter<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@damiengwalter<\/a> summarized in a "fruitless recursion" review of his essay collection, "starboard wine." http:\/\/bit.ly\/ap9LbE<\/a> #literaryfantasy<\/a> in reply to damiengwalter<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n

Does it get any more metal than that? Did fireworks explode out of her four-poster canopy bed as she expired in shredding harpsichord solo? #<\/a><\/li>\n
Did thirteen crows bash the windows in and take a turn about the room while wailing on their own, tiny B.C Rich Warlock electric guitars? #<\/a><\/li>\n
I almost forgive her for her fiction. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@nicoletaylor28<\/a> barbed wire, something tribal, maybe a misspelled quote? i'm unfamiliar with the exact trifecta. in reply to nicoletaylor28<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@nicoletaylor28<\/a> i like the slightly more obscure "carpe arborem." preferably beneath a massive oak tree. (but a good artist goes a long way) in reply to nicoletaylor28<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
droppin bon mots as my skinned knee clots. #salvagingdignity<\/a> #lostthatfight #meantto<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@nicoletaylor28<\/a> actually, carpe arborem means "seize the the tree." or, i guess, "pluck the tree." so it's either pro- or anti-arbor day. in reply to nicoletaylor28<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n

@nicoletaylor28<\/a> us: up to speed. i was going for a "treehugger" reading. this is why i'm not a translator. (in addition to my ignorance.) in reply to nicoletaylor28<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
