From today’s Twitter stream, more juxtaposition:
Gabriela Avram: #LmkTH You’re half way through, and you’re all doing a fantastic job! Keep on the good work!
Laura Dragan: 50% done – #21k in 2h30min – not looking fwd to the hills that are coming :) sun still shining ..loving it!
I’m amused because Gabriela’s comment about the Limerick Tweasure Hunt could be a great reply to Laura’s Connemara marathon status update.

This is my kind of performance art, from this year’s Printer’s Ball. Got pictures, anybody?
Busted Books: The Great Soaking. Performance by Davis Schneiderman. Attendees are invited to use a artisan-constructed dunk tank to soak either a book or a Kindle—depending upon the dunker’s feelings regarding the printed word and e-readers. With this simple choice, this physical act, readers can finally stop theorizing about the future of the book and do something about it.

Sometimes it’s the juxtaposition that amuses me:
Tweetie
Jill Gengler: I love being able to save someone’s bacon.
We’re making progress at archiving individual streams, I think. But the overall conversation, “what was I seeing then”, and the links between things? Needs work, at least chez moi!
Updated 2010-04-14 to fix typos. :)
