Tom Morris: Oppression, identity and sexuality →
tommorrisdotorg:
Oh yeah, what a lovely, academic-ish name for a post. It’d be even better if it had a colon afterwards, then a subtitle starting with the word “towards”. Oppression, identity and sexuality: towards a poststructuralist hermeneutic of something or other. See, I don’t like talking about who I am, I…

EMACS TAKES ALL THE FUN OUT OF INTERNATIONAL CAPS...
arielwaldman: RT @qdot HOLY SHITTING FUCK IT'S INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY http://capslockday.com
adora: @arielwaldman CAPSLOCK IS FOR WIMPS! HARDCORE GEEKS SHOUT WITH THE SHIFT KEY!
hober: @adora actually, hardcore geeks type normally, then use C-x C-u (bound to 'upcase-region').

Dearest Reader,
I am not in Texas.
I am not driking avocado margaritas, taking ecstacy, or having run ins with the law. I do not have a MacBook Air, I do not use my iPhone in flight, and I have never, ever, called myself a Web Communities Strategy Developer. Or a Social Web Applications Design Strategist. (Although I have met people who do, and, no, I don’t know what it means...

Me: And then watching The Princess Bride.
Shawn Morrison: So you have plans.
