"Oh, I see...gotcha. Thanks for clarification." - Ken Kennedy

"I like the idea of offsite status review, Dave. It doesn't look like it's currently live, though...the last update says 9:30pm on the 23rd. Is that intended, or does some process need to be kicked off?" - Ken Kennedy

"Holy Hell...this is like the rules for Calvinball. But I'm glad you are kicking ass and taking names. I need to make a trip to SF just to see the new construction." - Ken Kennedy

"Ah, gotcha, Dave. Trying this out makes it much clearer where you're going with this. Interesting...I'll definitely keep an eye on it." - Ken Kennedy

"This is completely awesome. Ooops...make that Awesome, with a capital 'A'." - Ken Kennedy

"Hmm...I hear what you're saying (I came here from G+ rather than Facebook, but that's just substituting one Goliath for another). That being said, I think there's a goodness to you posting here vs. in whatever walled garden (a goodness I haven't done a good job of emulating myself recently...I need to get on it!). You "own" this...if myspace/friendster/facebook/tumbler/friendfeed disappears, your postings there go with it. I think there's something important there. That being said, Anil hits on it when he points out we shouldn't war amongst ourselves re: Wordpress v. Movable Type v. Drupal v. etc...just be happen you're out of the walled garden!! Encourage the wild growth...we need it." - Ken Kennedy

"Looking forward to the new column, Jon. Welcome back to the "punditocracy"...*wink*. I was actually just getting ready to email you...have you seen/been following scraperwiki.com? Some interesting tools in this same sort of "personal cloud" space, specializing in getting data out of non-machine readable formats (poor web layouts, PDFs, etc.), into databases, and providing visualization capabilities. Looked like something you'd be interested in." - Ken Kennedy

"Hm, cloned into Cloud9, I'm (kkennedy) getting a big ol' error when I run npm install in the console, starting with Error: No compatible version found: trycatch@'>=0.1.0- <0.2.0-' I'll admit, I've only used Cloud9 a bit so far, so I could me making a silly mistake...any ideas?" - Ken Kennedy

"Great choice on" - Ken Kennedy

"submitted by reddit to blog." - Ken Kennedy

"Actually, there does appear to be a hand crank being demoed at CE as a peripheral for the XO-3:  http://www.h-online.com/open/s..." - Ken Kennedy

"Huh-freakin-zah, my friend. I couldn't agree more. Well said. I like tablets...I got a Kindle Fire for Christmas, and I think it's great. Even for reading (surprisingly). But where do I *lose* myself in a novel. On my e-ink (2nd gen) Kindle. And I *like* losing myself in novels..." - Ken Kennedy

"I'm pretty sure you hit the nail on the head, Paul. Best Buy would be happiest if we stayed out in the car, and tossed our wallet into the store for them to rifle through." - Ken Kennedy

"Unsubscribed....NOT! *grin*" - Ken Kennedy

"Well, Ron Paul has a well-established history of not actually watching/reading work done in his name, so perhaps he'll end up disavowing this too..." - Ken Kennedy

"Damn, my friend...an even more cogent post than your standard. I think you dig deep into the confusion and consternation that many atheists/humanist/etc. feel. It's necessary, IMO, but not sufficient, to deal with this God thing. There is a lot of other crap that's causing more direct problems on a day to day basis. I do honestly believe that these issues are intimately related, but nevertheless, that's not all there is. I honestly don't know if you depressed me or inspired...you're much like Lessig's _Republic, Lost_ in that sense (such a good book!). But you've moved me, regardless. Thanks for sharing. This is a conversation that our cohort needs to have." - Ken Kennedy

"I'll do this both places (here and G+): Favorite line -- "I’ve not read Isaacson’s biography of Jobs. I am less compelled to do so suddenly." -- Well played." - Ken Kennedy

"**sigh** Point taken; thanks for sharing." - Ken Kennedy

"**grumble**. Whether I'm sane or not, this doth not bode well..." - Ken Kennedy

"**snort** Me. Sane. You're so CUTE. I hear what you're saying...but _President_ Rick Perry?? This is a potential Presidential candidate speaking. If you had made this speech, I'd have cracked up, shared it all over the Internet, and gone on to rib you. But you, last I checked, we're going for the "Most Powerful Man...er, Person in the World" seat. It was creepy! Plus there were giant factual errors (the first I remember yelling at the monitor about was the "deficit increased more under Obama than the entire previous history" comment...I'll track it down) that I hate; all candidates spin the facts as they will, but Perry (among others, he isn't alone) seems perfectly happy to just make them up (as far as I can tell, anyway). I'm no fan of that. Regarding the goofiness...I dunno. I am trying to take your point. But dude...it was weird. And heck, maybe he was pounding cold medicine. Even for medical necessity. But in that case...handlers should have stepped in. HE FONDLED THAT SYRUP!..." - Ken Kennedy

"I hear what you're saying, mon ami...but I watched the whole 25 minutes of that thing, so there's no lack of context (which is basically always the case when folks pull Dean's 6 second "scream" out of the middle of even the surrounding minute). Dean's over-excitable; Perry is a LOON. I'll agree if your point is there's no NEED to pull this out to discredit Perry; noted. But if I gotta, I will. 'cause this as buck-wild crazy. If other candidates are making similar speeches up there in syrup-land, I sure as HECK need to see those too!!" - Ken Kennedy

Definitely worth reading. - Ken Kennedy

"I hate that you know that I hate that you're right." - Ken Kennedy

"Agreed; I'd hate to have myself to partially blame for President Paul! Zoinks." - Ken Kennedy

"Oh, I know Paul's a theocrat; I'm only picking him b/c I think he's the least palatable of the 1st/2nd tier in a general election, IMO. If I "voted" for him, I'd be voting for someone I think wasn't generally electable. Huntsman I agree with, I just don't think he has ANY chance whatsoever.  re: Romney, good point. I wonder what he WOULD do, if elected. Blow, winds, blow! Sorry for any confusion; I certainly wasn't talking about voting for _any_ of them in the general election. I'll vote for Obama, no matter how disappointed I am with him. I expect it wasn't clear, but I was talking about the Republican primary; here in Georgia, we can actually vote in either primary, so I expect I'll vote in the Republican one next year." - Ken Kennedy

"Thanks for that nightmare inducer, Paul...*grin*. Not that there's really a single person in the Republican race this year that doesn't scare me. I guess if I had to, I'd vote for ...??  Romney? (least crazy, but might win)  Paul? (at least can't win the general election. I think.) *shiver*" - Ken Kennedy

"Domain management is such a pain! I am in the process of disentangling my domains from GoDaddy, and switching to hover.com, based on the recommendation/sponsorship of my buddy Dave Slusher, as well as the fact that they seem to be pretty cool. I've switched a couple of domains  over there already, and it was pretty painless (I think 'EGC' may still give you a 10% discount on a move; based on Dave's sponsorship by Hover. Worth a try.) Overall , they are definitely recommended. I was very happy to get out of GoDaddy." - Ken Kennedy
