@betsymason Solution: Teach @beerrobot to play ping pong, and have him lie on his back as the table.
If talk of plasma wakefields on last night's FlashForward made you curious, read all about it in @symmetrymag http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/cms...
Was ready to try EtherPad on @michael_nielsen's advice but then Google went and acquired it...
Not far from collisions then! RT @j_timmer: LHC has gotten both beams up near 1.2TeV, making it the highest energy accelerator ever built.
Heading for Seattle to chat with the UW science writing class and generally wreak havoc.
@jayrosen_nyu Shock and luck took my brain there! Backchannel for @dangillmor's talk at same mtg was interesting case study also.
@jayrosen_nyu 1st time I was backchannelled I had to ignore, but talked about it with audience as an example of needing to filter.

First collisions at LHC. Our story here: http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/breakin...
Used @googlewave on Friday for the first time to co-write a story for @symmetrymag Worked really well!
RT @CERN: #LHC prepares for magnet precycle. No beam at til 8AM. Some settings also to do before next steps...Be patient-Stay tuned! #CERN
The Physics Inventory – November 20, 2009 - http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/breakin...
Action continues at LHC, with beam being "splashed" into ATLAS and then CMS for a while. Splash pics: http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas...
RT @ivanoransky: I'd rec Fountains of Wayne's "Supercollider" > REM's "End of The World as We Know It" for LHC startup http://www.scientificamerican.com/article...
Ahh, how soon we collectively lose interest in the #LHC startup... what's next on the entertainment schedule for tonight?
OK, #LHC, you can do it... catch that second beam!
Huzzah! RT @CERN: Beam 2 captured! #LHC #CERN
RT @CERN: Second circle completed!! Hats are up on air in the CERN CCC (photos to follow) #LHC #CERN
Congrats to the CERN team! RT @CERN: We have captured it! First circulating beam of 2009!
The LHC startup is like watching the World Series but for geeks. First beam round, now the next on the way! On the edge of my seat!
CERN just issued a press release announcing circulation of first beam for 2009. Press conf Monday. Web link to come when it is up.
CERN and US press releases about the LHC first beams for 2009: http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/breakin...
RT @CERN: Beam 1 has made more than 500 turns of the LHC. The beam orbit is improving fast.
Exciting news - LHC restart moving faster than expected RT @CERN: We have completed the ring!
@jayrosen_nyu New twitter prompt: A shift from introspection to observation. (Perhaps related to your "private to public".)
@finestructure Not as comprehensive but no Nature paywall: Muon collider info http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/breakin... and http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/breakin...
'fess up @betsymason, how long have you been waiting to use the phrase "dung fungus" in a story? http://www.wired.com/wiredsc...
We ALL want to keep our internal symmetries separate from our spacetime... RT @sc_k: Thinking about the Coleman–Mandula theorem tonight...
