Is Elon Musk the real Tony Stark? http://www.valuewalk.com/2013...
Supposedly the Tony Stark character in Iron Man is based on him a bit, and Elon did a cameo on the first movie as well. - Ken Gidley
Stephen Mack: Are you looking for an event for May? 5k "Chick Chaser": https://www.racemine.com/Silicon...
it's like a fun run meets the bouquet toss at a wedding. - Brian Johns
I'm wondering a few things but principally: What are they thinking? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
That it's a fun way to meet people? - Brian Johns
A half hour run with two, two hours parties afterwards? - Brian Johns
I just mean the whole chick/rooster thing. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Do I need to explain that part to you? :-) - Brian Johns
Can a guy or gal, register as a chick or a rooster? - Jimminy IS Everybody
Seems to only work when setup with heteronormative gender roles. At least this example. You could reverse the roles, but it doesn't seem like you could co-mingle without some serious confusion. - Jimminy IS Everybody
All right. I chased some chicks. And roosters. And my elusive record pace. Didn't catch anything really but had some fun! https://www.racemine.com/Silicon... - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Crime Blotter: Atherton: Ralston Road, 9:10 a.m. Monday A person thought a man doing wind sprints in an orange shirt and dress pants appeared suspicious because of the clothing he was wearing.
Dress pants? Is that what the cool wind sprinter kids are wearing these days? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Maybe when Atherton people think "How do I dress down a little bit?" they conclude it means wearing last year's collection? - Brian Johns
So, how about that crazy stock market, eh?
It's been a few years since I've looked at it… - Amit Patel
This year seems to be up, with the last couple weeks being crazy-up, with a growing disconnect from reality. - Brian Johns
I like one development from this afternoon. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Now I am nonplussed. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Well, when you inject a bunch of cash into the marketplace, the value of the currency becomes less per unit. So a dollar can only buy as much as what 50 cents used to get you. This is what is known as inflation. The stock market appears to be more valuable because the stock prices are higher, but only in units that aren't as valuable anymore. - Cristo
I love a sticky thicket of information controversy: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/digital...
Looks like we're gonna have a battle early about the future of the internet, man. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Yeah - I thought that was a funny little quote. Like there's any doubt we're going to have a battle about the future of the Internet, or that this is "early", or that we haven't been having that battle since the beginning of the Internet, etc.... - Brian Johns
I'm trying to avoid reading reviews of the Great Gatsby movie, in the hopes that this will be the first movie I see in a theater in years. But really, who am I kidding?
Have you seen a preview? It looks horrible. - Cristo
I have not. But I read the book, and I like Baz L.'s other films. - Brian Johns
.LOLz! @Cristo - .LAG liked that
I don't think the book and the movie have much in common from what I saw. This looks like a Wild Wild West or Mission Impossible treatment. Similar only in name. Then again, I'm not really a Baz L. fan, but I am a Fitzgerald fan. - Cristo
.LOLz! back @.LAG - Cristo
When you avoid reading reviews, the reviews come to you. :) - Cristo
I expected nothing less! - Brian Johns
Our relationship with North Korea is so surreal: http://www.latimes.com/sports...
the tweet: "I'm calling on the Supreme Leader of North Korea or as I call him "Kim", to do me a solid and cut Kenneth Bae loose." - Brian Johns
I hereby dub this Rebounder Diplomacy. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
How long do I let the girls sleep in on a vacation day?
Until nature takes its course. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
in our house it's how long do they let US sleep. - Joe "Bad Guts" Silence
Medical question: Are vampires susceptible to blood-borne pathogens from their victims?
Depends on the vampire mythos...in some of them, yes. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
As Alex says. I've also seen stories where they utilize blood related conditions like sickle cell anemia, or hemophilia, to effect as well. - Jennifer Dittrich
Isn't vampire blood often considered to be different from human blood? - Johnny
Yeah, in the True Blood series, certain blood born diseases affect vampires. In the Necroscope series, vampires avoid lepers big time because the disease is devastating to vampires. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
"I was at Woodstock. I fed off a flower person and I spent six hours watching my hand move." --Spike, in a Buffy episode. - Betsy #TeamMonique
I think not. They are dead, after all. - Uli - Sent to Coventry
Thanks for the input everyone. - Brian Johns
Electric Mazda Miata conversion kits! - Brian Johns
the "long range" conversion is 98 miles/charge! And that's $20k! Yowch. - Jonathan Disher
Yeah, but I can charge for free at work! So that would save me like 40 cents every day! - Brian Johns
And I only need about 8 miles range, so maybe I could save some money there. - Brian Johns
Cheaper than a Tesla... - Brian Johns
Somehow I have become addicted to watching YouTube excerpts of America's Got Talent and the X Factor and shows like that. Apparently there's no shortage of people from random backgrounds that can sing.
I did not see this coming. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Dude, this is still one of my favorites, if you haven't seen it http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Scott. Cat Herder.
Stephen: I know - I consider this a confession. I'm sorry. - Brian Johns
Scott - I've seen that one - I'm using the crowd to pick my content, usually watching whichever of the suggested videos has the highest number of views. 33,000,000 viewers can't be wrong, eh? - Brian Johns
Also, I've been wikipediaing the ones that stand out (to me) to see if they ever went anywhere or not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Brian Johns

Just skip to 1:20 if you want the best part. Kids, don't try this at home. - Brian Johns
Yikes! - Anne Bouey
fookin'ell. - Lnorigb
One slight miscalculation in trajectory or updraft strength and there would be a wall of 'pico de gallo' somewhere near that hole. (This is why I'll never be a daredevil.) - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
With about 5 different camera angles, it would be a well documented mistake. - Brian Johns
Mom comes home later tonight. This evening might be like one of those after school TV shows where everything has to get cleaned up super-fast so she has no idea what happened.
See also: The Cat In The Hat - Brian Johns
See also: "Gypsies in the Palace" by Jimmy Buffet - Brian Johns
So did you get it cleaned? By which I mean did you shove everything into a disused closet? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
I don't think the place looks half bad. If she's aware of the hijinks that occurred while she was gone, she hasn't let onto it yet. The first thing she did when she got home was unpack her suitcase all over the living room. :-) - Brian Johns
Has anyone here tried the "Cinnamon Challenge"? http://www.foxnews.com/health...
Those crazy kids... Next they're going to try to drink a whole gallon of milk in 5 minutes. - Brian Johns
Collapsed lungs, though... - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
I was hoping it was like the whole "giant nutmeg sandwich" trend when I was in college, but this actually seems dumber. - Jennifer Dittrich
I had a friend in college that tried that nutmeg thing and found it REALLY worked on him. We nick-named him "nutmeg" and it stuck. - Brian Johns
The other childcare-provider-family-units are away this weekend so I'm taking the weekend off from training to be a dad instead. Achievements already unlocked include going out to dinner, wearing the same thing twice, staying up late, going to the zoo, mac-and-cheese for dinner, and cereal for dessert.
I'm either the best dad ever, or the worst parent ever. - Brian Johns
Have you taken them to an R-movie yet? That's another achievement to unlock! - Spidra Webster
She's only 2.5, so we're not quite ready for that. - Brian Johns
sleeping in daddy's tee shirt instead of regular pj's is next. - Lnorigb
Make sure she draws on the walls with crayons. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Stephen: When should we show up? Your crayons or ours? - Brian Johns
Hehehe :) I rent, so... My place it is. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
You're doing a great job!! - Georgia from iPhone
I don't see any mention of ice cream! - imabonehead
Don't forget to forget to brush teeth. - Micah from FFHound(roid)!
What about the chocolate cake? http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Jonathan Disher
Best dad ever. - Louis Gray
Ice cream AND chocolate cake. As a mom, I made a great dad. ;-) - Mary B: #TeamMonique
Don't forget to play some loud music for her to dance to. - April Russo
Today we have gone swimming, have eaten ice cream straight from the container, and not put on shoes or socks yet. Today is a good day. - Brian Johns
Sounds like an awesome Sunday! :) - Tamara J.
Saw a news headline "Dutchess Kate's pregnancy more visible than ever". Yeah, that's how pregnancy works. This is not news - this is biology.
This is awesome: One-night-stand is complicated by Boston lockdown. Uncomfortableness ensues. http://www.esquire.com/blogs...
Not a good run this evening. (after spin) I'm having trouble running after other activities. (swimming or biking) The transition is hard and it takes awhile for the lower legs to loosen up. I have something to work on.
You're doing amazing work, Sparky. I'm very impressed. You'll get there. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Swimming to run/riding is cause all the blood is in your arms and your heart has to readjust to get the blood into your legs. When swimming, I always finish with 50-100m of fierce leg kicking. - Johnny from iPhone
Interesting. That's a neat theory that I'll have to try. - Brian Johns
IronTeam update: Today's training run was a half marathon and I set a new PR of 2:13 and kept my heartrate way below my last half marathon. :-) http://connect.garmin.com/activit...
That's 10,390 steps for you fitbit'ers. [edited: probably actually 20,780 steps, if you count both legs...) - Brian Johns
Should be more than that, sir. 13 miles is usually above 25,000 steps. - Louis Gray
Perhaps the steps are off by a factor of 2: The Garmin doesn't directly display the counting of each step, but instead shows the rate so I was back-calculating. My running cadence is pretty steady at 78 - 80 strides per minute which yields 6.68 feet per stride which seems high. (I'm pretty sure about the number of minutes I was out.) So perhaps 20,780 steps? - Brian Johns
Great job! - Tamara J. from FFHound(roid)!
This is a neat, pretty 2 minute video of Google Street View imagery. With nice music. http://techcrunch.com/2013...
I have always thought the Google Street View was one of the most audacious (and awesome) things ever created, in the history of man. - Brian Johns
They should stamp the year of vintage in the chocolate of Thin Mints so I know how old the cookies put out in the common area are.
They last that long in the common area/ - Spidra Webster
People buy them at work and put them in a drawer and then discover them the next year when they go to put the new box in the drawer. - Brian Johns
Then they go in the common area. - Brian Johns
I myself don't buy them because I don't like them. But I can't stop eating them when somebody else puts them in the common area. :-/ - Brian Johns

Stephen Mack: Annette Funicello and Margaret Thatcher. WHO WILL BE THIRD?
Wasn't Funicello third if you count Roger Ebert? - Jennifer Dittrich
That's a good question. I assumed he was part of a different group of three but it's been so long that I can't remember who else was in his group. - Brian Johns
What of Mikhail Beketov, Sara Montiel, Marty Blake, Les Blank, Lilly Pulitzer, Neil Smith, and Carl Williams? CELEBRITY DEATHS COME IN TENS, SHEEPLE. WAKE UP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... #threes - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

I prefer to assume that most events that occur in serial form follow a pattern that can only metered in groups of ten quintillion occurrences. That way I just don't have to worry about it. - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ

Hey, that's not bad! Thanks, Sparky. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Ironman Tahoe update: 60 mile training ride accomplished (with 30 minute run afterwards) and I feel pretty good. $5,270 raised so far. http://pages.teamintraining.org/sj... Thanks for your kind words and support so far - This thing is happening!
Great job, Brian!! - Tamara J.
66% of the way there! We need to drum you up some donations... - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Sparky, your dedication is inspiring. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Just found out that one of the people on my Team In Training team is married to professional BMX bike rider Ryan Nyquist. Holy crap! http://www.youtube.com/channel...
And he has a new mobile app: (half way through) http://espn.go.com/video... - Brian Johns
That's awesome. I haven't watched BMX in a long time, but he was always amazing on dirt. - Jimminy IS Everybody
Georgia city requires all houses to own a gun, unless you don't want to: http://www.usatoday.com/story...
Regardless of the gun politics involved, I love that there's a law requiring you to do something, unless you don't want to. - Brian Johns
SET SELF = MUST (GUN.OWNER) UNLESS SELF != WANT (GUN.OWNER) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
"However, residents of the small city 50 miles north of Atlanta can opt out of the measure if they object to gun ownership. In addition, the ordinance also exempts convicted felons and those who suffer from certain physical or mental disabilities. There is no penalty for those who don't comply with the law." - Andrew C (✓)
Why exactly would it deter criminals to learn that a small city is run by complete idiots who'll pass a "this is required except that it's not" law? - Andrew C (✓)
Happy birthday gmail!
No folders? That much free space? Must be an April Fool's joke! - Brian Johns
Ironteam Update: We're just over a third of the way through the season and things are going well. This weekend we're heading down to Lake San Antonio to do the Wildflower half-Ironman course as a practice race. I love Wildflower so I'm really looking forward to this. Fund raising is going really well - I'm at 2/3 of my fundraising goal!...
Grats! But you still have a lot to raise... - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Yep - I've still got a long way to go, but I think I can do it. I'm thinking about another sushi fundraiser in a month or two, and there are a few more friends I need to shake down. - Brian Johns
