If I we're making games I'd make a zombie crawl where you could play in your real town genned from open map datasources. See @ModelYourTown
oh man there are just too many dudes with my name. no "Brian Conner and His Amazing Friends" is not my band. http://www.facebook.com/pages... no audio :(
Summoning all my willpower to stop myself from posting a coworkers 400 line sql monstrosity to the daily wtf.
@connerk ha yeah... Its when it looked up human that it started to seem like maybe the plan was destroy all humans
I'm sorry but the droid commercials are terrible. I want a phone not something that will become self aware and kill me in my sleep.
bizarre. The catalog data model still doesn't seem to include set relationships. Like 100 files but 1 set. http://sunlightlabs.com/blog... #datadotgov
@connerk ha yeah ie tab is a lifesaver for those of us working waith crappy corporate .net web apps that only support IE. Really common
Semantic.data.gov! Oh please do this I can't wait to play with it. http://sunlightlabs.com/blog... #datadotgov
Tough call. Some spectacular lies this year. RT @politifact: Vote now for the 'Lie of the Year'! http://politifact.com/truth-o...
Skimming the data.gov 2.0 draft. Says the metadata def is Dublin core. Wish they would embed in DC microformat. http://sunlightlabs.com/blog...
I know what ill be doing tonight. Massive feedback RT @EllnMllr: ... Data.gov 2.0. Weigh in with your thoughts. http://sunlightlabs.com/blog...

@connerk not sure the weather thing is androids fault... HtC makes their own app for that I think part of the special ui shell they added
@connerk haha yeah I am screwed. Management saw my internal dev tool and insisted we make a sellable version. It is awesome, but dangerous
Also the focus on aggregated data concerned me a bit. Leading cause of up and to the right disorder is not having to show your work. #OGD
Didn't seem to see any commitment to make data.gov itself better in the #OGD thing today. Otherwise though great stuff.
@connerk yeah now if only I had enough time to remove the xml entry box before release. You can also define sql tables in it, procs. Scary
@connerk technically my stupidest users should be at least advanced excel users or it ppl who write reports, etc. Still xml box is shameful
A coworker just told me that my epm,bi platform is "just as complicated as cognos." kind of freaked me out. Time to focus on simplification

Apparently my sister is some sort of narwhal expert. Claims that ppl finding narwhal horns on the beach led to the unicorn myth.
Being able to admit your beliefs were wrong when presented evidence is important. Ergo.. On monday I was sure Narwhals were fictional. ouch
dude, I did a report on narwhals in the fifth grade! NARWHALS. they were the fount of the unicorn myth! - Eileen Conner
really? they're so much more interesting than unicorns - Baconner from email
yes. because people would find their horns washed up on shore, and were less scientific and more into creating mythologies at the time. no seriously you guys I also saw a flying horse! - Eileen Conner
google inspired me to get an opendns account instead. now expertsexchange.com is blocked from my house. hooray!
Nobody wins but adobe that is. Actually even adobe loses when the gov misuses pdf to publish numeric data and causes a mess.
They run a far greater risk of bad data via pdf translation error than from malicious editing. Nobody wins v @cjoh http://sunlightlabs.com/blog...
I think it was good for me to admit #iwaswrong re narwhals publically. Try it... Its kind of nice to beat the urge to hide your ignorance.
