They picked it because all their developers are .NET ones (PCH in Shenzhen). Big buck deal for Microsoft. - Robert Scoble
Now is that saying something about Twitter/FriendFeed or about Microsoft Dynamics? =) - RAD Moose

“America, we have a Muslim President, this is sin against the L-rd! Exodus 20:3”
America, we have a Muslim President, this is sin against the L-rd! Exodus 20:3
1 hour ago - Link
Kansas Preacher Pushes Obama Muslim Message WICHITA, KAN. — A Wichita, Kansas preacher says he will not remove a message on his church sign that says President-Elect Barack Obama is a Muslim. The sign is staying up despite the fact that Obama is a Christian. The sign at Spirit One Christian Center reads, “America we have a Muslim president. This is sin against the Lord.” Obama supporters reportedly got into a shouting match with parishioners outside the church on Sunday. - ♣genieyclo♣
Could it be that there are too many stupid people in America for it to survive as a functioning superpower? This thought crosses my mind often these days. In the nineties I felt like we were a highly educated nation, on the cutting edge of human progress. Then the wheels fell off with the turn of the millennium. - Sean McBride
I love the "Church Without Walls" part. It's so ironic. - Glenn Batuyong
Exodus 20:3 is part of the 10 commandments, it states "Thou shalt have no other god's before me". I can think of no way in which having a Muslim president (if that were even the case) would violate that commandment for any Christian. How sad that this is what things have come to. - Aaron Krug
Reason #... ah screw it. Like I actually need another reason to not go to Kansas... - Mark VandenBerg
How is being a muslim a sin against any just deity? This is the most stupid and ignorant sign I've seen in a long time. This sign is a sin against everything that America stands for and I don't even believe in sin... - Alex Scoble CISSP
Come on people. Do you need to see a sign like this to know that there are idiots everywhere and it's best to just ignore them? :) - Patricia
Muslims believe in the same G-d as do the Christians....it's very ironic. As is that they claim to to be a "Church Without Walls", as Glenn noted. - ♣genieyclo♣
Are you kidding me? is this for real? wow! - Susan Beebe
fuckin idiots. excuse the vulgarity, but i can't stress that enough. cretin motherfuckers who serve no purpose in life. - Cee Bee
The difference between our network here and this wall-less church is that we tend to think rationally. - Aaron Hood
Patricia -- to connect a few dots: Joseph Lieberman, who was just warmly embraced by the Democratic Party leadership, is a close political ally of a religious extremist who shares these views -- John Hagee. This cultural rot reaches to the highest levels of the American political system. The Republican Party, without much subtlety, encouraged this kind of thinking during the recent campaign. Something has gone seriously wrong in America since George W. Bush came to power. - Sean McBride
That sign is painful in so many ways... - xero
@Sean, I'm going to buy that book you told me about the next time I get to the book store. I think it's going to be an insightful read. Since the election, I've wanted to learn more about the government, what's going on. Thank you!!!! - Patricia

Some See Big Problem in Wisconsin Drinking - NYTimes.com
Some See Big Problem in Wisconsin Drinking - NYTimes.com

"When a 15-year-old comes into Wile-e’s bar looking for a cold beer, the bartender, Mike Whaley, is happy to serve it up — as long as a parent is there to give permission. “If they’re 15, 16, 17, it’s fine if they want to sit down and have a few beers,” said Mr. Whaley, who owns the tavern in this small town in southern Wisconsin. While it might raise some eyebrows in most of America, it is perfectly legal in Wisconsin. Minors can drink alcohol in a bar or restaurant in Wisconsin if they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who gives consent. While there is no state law setting a minimum age, bartenders can use their discretion in deciding whom to serve." - RAPatton via Bookmarklet
"Before he owned Wile-e’s, Mr. Whaley said there were some cases where he had to say no to a parent. “I’ve had situations where a parent was going to buy drinks for a kid who looked 8 or 10 years old,” he said, “and I had to say, ‘That’s a no-go.’ ” He also has a rule in his tavern that under-age drinkers must leave by 9 p.m. “When it gets later in the night, people don’t want a bunch of kids running around,” he said. One recent night, a lanky, blond-haired 17-year-old boy shot pool at the bar with his dad. Both were drinking soda. In Mr. Whaley’s view, the bar can be a suitable place for families to gather, especially when the beloved Green Bay Packers are on the television. “On game days, a buddy of mine will come to the bar with his 2-year-old, his 8-year-old and his 10-year-old,” Mr. Whaley said. “He might get a little drunk. But his wife just has a few cocktails. It’s no big deal. Everybody has a good time.”" - RAPatton
I'm all about that. I was sipping from my parents since I was a kid, and I don't get stupid drunk like others who didnt have their first drink til they were 18 or 21. - Shevonne Polastre
Drinking a bars in the sticks in Wisconsin is awesome. Rounds for the whole joint cost like 20 bucks. - Jay Tannenbaum

“Dear Akiva, learning some Asp.net makes it a TON easier getting through today's technical interviews.”
3 hours ago - Link
Instead of saying, "I'm really just a server guy, I don't really know all that stuff," you just answer their questions and satisfy their requirements. I'm not ever going to say again that I'm not really a web developer. I can do all that too now but I'm guessing most teams will find out that I know tons more about the server side... ("all that" not including design - I'll still say I'm not a designer). - Tad, Fool
Tad, I diigo'd all of those ASP.NET interview sites you posted awhile back and I have a huge book from SAMS (ASP.NET 3.5 Unleashed). I'm actually thinking of gravitating toward UI and away from the data layer. I'd rather do UI than SQL, I've decided. SQL makes me sad. - Akiva Moskovitz
Ultimately, I just wanna write code and solve problems. If that means coding an .aspx instead of a .cs then so be it. - Tad, Fool
Tad speaks wisely...that's exactly what I want to do...I certainly have preferences (there are days I can't stand HTML/JS, and days I can't stand WinForms)...but writing code and solving problems is the best part. - Jonas Bush
SELECT this, that FROM tblAkiva WHERE misery = true ORDER BY magnitude_level; - Josh Haley
I like turtles... - Johnny Worthington
Johnny, so do I! - Mark Wilson
Tad & Akiva - this is the exact move I made just over a year ago. I went from IT Manager (dealing with IT support, servers, etc) to Web Development. Best move I've ever made. - Justin Korn
I can't stand ASP, I'll have to get behind it soon though. I remain a PHP loyalist for the web, but I keep running into scaling problems. - Mo Kargas
Mo: I'm totally with you there...partly because I don't know ASP.net too :) - ♣genieyclo♣
ASP.NET is great, so long as you treat it like Classic ASP or PHP. - xero
Justin, I've been a C# developer forever. I did a little ASP.NET 1.0 but then got into the business and data layers and never looked back. But, over the past 2-3 years, I've gained a diabolical loathing for all things SQL so it looks like back to the UI I go. I'd prefer to do desktop clients but that's just not what the future seems to hold. I won't go so far as to get into Silverlight/Flash kind of things but ASP.NET? Sure, why not. - Akiva Moskovitz

Seth Godin Finally Joins Twitter
4 hours ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
Just to sell his new book.... *shakes head* - Shey
@Shey LOL I'm like, wow, kinda late for that, huh Seth? - anna awesomesauce
yeah, probably right...damn his face looks annoying there... Reminds of Eddie describing the fold in the magazine on Raw "here want me to stir it for you?" - Zee from WeDoCreative
I know that alarm bells go off at Twitter if you're following many more people than follow you. Does anything happen in the reverse, if you're following many fewer people than are following you? - Ontario Emperor
HA! +1, Zee...GI Joe swimmin' underwater...and then a big brown shark came... - Dave
I'll wait until he starts tweeting something before I follow. - Hutch Carpenter
@anna: wasn't he at @sethgodin, the only guys on twitter with zillions of followers and who never follows back? This being said, I like what he writes generally :) - directeur
Well that didn't last long, looks like it's been deleted - Shey
Wow, that WAS quick. Maybe it was unauthorized. - Ontario Emperor
wow...that's strange - Zee from WeDoCreative
That's too bad - I was rather in his corner, staying off of it. Wonder if he'll join everyone else again by abandoning Squidoo too. - Ciaoenrico
hmm - Hayk
Wake me when Seth becomes relevant again. To me, he's been mailing it in for a good while. Brilliant basis and thesis but it's been milk ever since. - AJ Kohn
Who is that? - Mona N.
Yeah, AJ, agreed. If Seth used micro-blogging, he'd blow most of his load with around 10-12 posts. - Christopher Galtenberg
mona, popular marketing dude/writer/speaker. - Hao Chen
Long overdue - Charlie Anzman
Will follow him and see what he has to say. - John-David Lusan
i've been told this could be a fake... - Zee from WeDoCreative
read this http://sethgodin.typepad.com/s... he doesnt use twitter - johnpiercy
yeah, i remember that actually and hence my surprise when he apparently joined...he could have always changed his mind i thought - Zee from WeDoCreative
Heheh, I'm doing a webinar on Thursday with Seth, so I'll find out if this is real. It sure doesn't look real. - Robert Scoble
doesn't use twitter wtf?! - Susan Beebe
Mona, you were kidding, weren't you? - LauraBrarian
i don't think she was Laura and besides he's famous but not that famous - Zee from WeDoCreative
Bad time to admit I wouldn't know Godin from Adam? - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)
See, more proof Seth needs to be on twitter - he's clearly not engaging his audience! LOL - Susan Beebe
It looks more like a Kool-Aid line to me:) Real or imaginary, it's a Kool-Aid line! - Roney Smith

I'm serious. There are some apps out there that I bet would have a larger user base if they would do a video to show us WTF we're supposed to do with it. - ♫ Rahsheen™
Nobody really wants to read a walkthrough or tour anymore. Nobody wants to read your FAQ. Give me the goods, quick and up-front. I need to know what this is all about ASAP. - ♫ Rahsheen™
