Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)

Seattle-based PR guy who loves gadgets, the Red Sox, photography and bacon. Not necessarily in that order.

Irrationally amused/excited about getting an email from "Gob@netflix" reminding me that the new season of Arrested Development is almost here.
It occurs to me that Google Glasses are probably the worst nightmare of somebody like Akiva who doesn't want his photo taken. Ever.

I'm trying to set something up like this so that I can surreptitiously burn some (all?) of the branches, etc. from my downed trees. I have a 36" fire ring, but I need to prep the ground around it with stones or cement tiles, etc. Whoa! Just clicked to view the additional pics... I love the benches. You're way beyond what I was planning. Very nice. - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
I admittedly went a little overboard. My tendency is to get in over my head when it comes to projects. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)

Britt Julious: 'Orphan Black' is one of the smartest – and most exciting – new television shows | WBEZ 91.5 Chicago
"This is why Orphan Black, the new sci-fi television show from BBC America works so well. Orphan Black is the story of an orphan (Sarah, played by Tatiana Maslany) who witnesses the suicide of another woman (Beth) who looked just like her. Sarah assumes her identity and her problems soon escalate and unravel from there. Well, that is what it is like on the surface. Her journey reveals something far more complex and sinister: other women who also look just like her as well. Are they related, or clones, or something else? The show gets to the heart of the matter quickly and is thankfully not afraid to do so." - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla) from Bookmarklet

The Tripathi family's search for the 22-year-old philosophy major has been detailed on a Facebook page, "Help us find Sunil Tripathi." They temporarily took down the page after they were inundated by ugly comments when Sunil Tripathi was falsely accused on social media of being one of the Boston Marathon bombers. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla) from Bookmarklet

Responding to tragedy – What brands (and brand marketers) sometimes forget: social networks are communities, not just channels. | Sterling Communications
If brands want to be regarded as full-fledged members of a community, and not just faceless, unfeeling corporations that care about nothing more than shilling products, they need to behave like humans. Real humans (generally) don’t break into a highly charged, emotional conversation to offer their own mundane, off-topic updates. Real humans don’t ignore what’s happening right in front of them. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla) from Bookmarklet

"The owner of this apartment, Mrs. De Florian left Paris just before the rumblings of World War II broke out in Europe. She closed up her shutters and left for the South of France, never to return to the city again. Seven decades later she passed away at the age of 91. It was only when her heirs enlisted professionals to make an inventory of the Parisian apartment she left behind, that this time capsule was finally unlocked." - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla) from Bookmarklet
There is a further twist to the story. In the apartment a painting of familiar style was discovered of a beautiful woman in pink. One of the inventory team members suspected this might be a very important piece of treasure. Along with the painting, they also found stacks of old love letters tied with colored ribbon. With some expert historical opinion, the ribbon-bound love letters were... more... - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)

We the audience humbly ask you to consider our case that it would profit both Netflix and MGM Studios to cooperate in reviving the television series Stargate Universe (SGU). Information has emerged subsequent to SGU's cancellation which demonstrates its viewers to be far more numerous than heretofore believed, and ideally suited to become Netflix customers. We hereby petition Netflix to evaluate SGU in light. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla) from Bookmarklet

Blind Boston Marathon runner vows to try again. - InFreq
He first attempted to complete the Marathon in 2012. For months, he trained indoors and on the track with help from his father, an avid runner. He didn’t finish the race in that first attempt, a brutally hot day that saw many runners give up early. Josh ran more than 17 miles, though. It was still an incredible accomplishment. But tragedy soon followed. Just days after the marathon, his father was diagnosed with cancer. Then his mother suddenly passed away a month later. Two months after that, his father was gone, too. Even after Monday’s events, Josh is determined to push on. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla) from Bookmarklet

For the mean time, Emily, Ben and their two lovely children gave us food,... more... - SteVe C

Jeff Bauman is the man in the photograph that has become an icon of the Boston Marathon attack, the one showing a bloodied, distraught young man, holding his left thigh, being wheeled away by a man in a cowboy hat. If the world could not identify him immediately, Mr. Bauman’s father — also named Jeff Bauman — certainly could. That was his son with his legs destroyed, wearing a favorite shirt. That was his son. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla) from Bookmarklet

Boston Bombs Timing: Were the marathon attacks timed to maximize casualties?
The bombs also hit as Wave 2 runners, who had started 20 minutes before Wave 3, completed the race around the 4:30 mark and Wave 1 runners, who started 40 minutes before, completed it in around 4:50. In other words, the bombs went off as the traffic crossing the finish line—and presumably the volume of spectators watching their family members and friends finish—would be near its peak. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla) from Bookmarklet

Tragedy at the Boston Marathon: One Photographer’s Eyewitness Account - LightBox
"It was sort of like, ok, what’s that all about? It wasn’t super loud but all you saw was the smoke. There was this big cloud of smoke and people screaming. The percussion from that explosion threw my cameras up in the air. Right in front of me, one of the runners fell on the ground — he was blown over from the blast. My instinct was…no matter what it is, you’re a photographer first, that’s what you’re doing. I ran towards the explosion, towards the police; they had their guns drawn. It was pandemonium. Nobody knew what was going on." - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla) from Bookmarklet

The Boston Marathon isn't just a local event, it's global. Runners from around the world make it their ambition to complete this race. People come from everywhere to watch. If it turns out to be foul play, this isn't just an attack on the U.S., it's an attack on civil society everywhere.
This a hundred times over. - Heather
So horrifying to see images of the places I used to visit when I was in college covered in gore.
PSA: Let's keep the speculation to a minimum today. And don't help spread rumors.
Given how much speculation is going on the live news streams, it gets difficult to parse very quickly. - Jennifer Dittrich
As curious and concerned as I am, I feel like I need to turn it all off because so much is unknown right now. - Derrick
I might have to turn to a different channel because CBS keeps saying witnesses say there were dead bodies, but it's unconfirmed. Makes me want to scream, don't report it then! This is already horrid enough without causing even more fear. - Running Slow
NBC has been a little better - they're reiterating that they only know that there were two explosions, and that there are pictures of certain things but that is about as far as they're going right now. - Jennifer Dittrich
I'm pretty good at filtering live coverage. I'll only tweet what can be verified. - Eric - seven eleven
