Interesting. Only 6 attendees out of 70 at FashHack had ever been to a hackathon before. Was it the high ticket cost? http://t.co/xbUCplSz1y

Auto backups for apps sounds pretty sweet. Setting up my new iPhone was painful… #gdgsydney http://t.co/9M9QFW1kAK

@mootpointer I had something wrong and Genius suggested I manually restore each app in case backup was corrupt. But well noted. 🙂

This week on Facebook I learned there’s no point arguing gun control with someone so fake tanned she looks like an Oompa-Loompa. #fml
And that ultimately, the “Turn off notifications” button on a post is the only thing keeping my head from exploding.
My fave part was when she said that people commit suicide with cars & those aren’t regulated. “Uh, yes they are. That’s what the BMV does.”
@drkknits Crossing my fingers for you! Have a great trip.
@frankarr You mean they get API access AND a power bank? Nice! 🙂

@virtualwolf She babbled that criminals would always get guns (so laws are useless). Me: People get heroin, so no point to drug laws either?
@virtualwolf GAHH. I need to let go otherwise this idiot is going to ruin my day.

hellojed
Start-up Costs: Silicon Valley, Halt and Catch Fire, and How Microserfdom Ate the World – How can Microserfs be 20 years old? I need to buy it and re-read it. (I keep giving copies away and never getting them back; that’s how you know it’s good.) I love that book. I first read it when I was working in a startup in the dotcom boom, living in a sharehouse in London with my boyfriend and two other guys we worked with. I identified with Daniel, but I wished I was as cool as Karla. I think about her theory that the body stores memories and emotions in muscular deep freeze every time I get a massage. I cried and cried at the ending. I even liked the silly bits, like the pages where Daniel would free associate words to create a subconscious for his computer. IT SPOKE TO ME, MAN. And now here I am once again in startup life, and everything is different but somehow the same. Poetic, isn’t it? Change all the IRC references to Hipchat and you’re pretty much there. (And I know I’m not the first to point out that Coupland essentially invented Minecraft in this book. I hope Notch thanked him!)
This made me think: Is there a recognised canon for Computer Age books? I think Microserfs should be in it. What else? I recently read The Cluetrain Manifesto for the first time, which everybody else in my book group hated but I loved. (Man, in 2000 we really thought intranets were going to be a much bigger Thing than they ended up being, huh?) I still haven’t read The Cathedral and the Bazaar or The Mythical Man Month, which I probably should. The Snook reckons that The Cuckoo’s Egg is worthy of inclusion. Any others?

@TheRealBnut That’s it! @poppiepack used it to mean “Are you high/crazy?” I feel like there should be a Tumblr called Smoking Mangoes.
