• About 1/2-way through entering local 2008 candidates. Watch me go: http://www.orangepolitics.org/candidates. Next: magic with Views… #
• @agenthandy Depends a lot on the context. personal blog or community site, etc? It’s cool to go private if it’s your personal stuff. #
• I’m glad #Kansas won. It makes me feel better about #UNC losing to them. Although I am still not at peace about that game. It weren’t right. #

• @rikomatic Does it need to be someone in NYC? You might find some leads here: http://barcamp.org/BarCampNYC2Attendees #drupal #
• Hey @noneck, @rikomatic is looking for a #drupal dev to do a #nonprofit site. Y’all should talk… #

• Saw the Audience Choice winner at Full Frame Doc Film Fest and hated it. Perhaps there’s something wrong w/me, but… well, tough. #
• @blogdiva, I’m with you: Bobby Flay is an arrogant idiot. I always change the channel if he’s on, even if it’s a show I like. #
• Ug, didn’t get much done on #orangepolitics.org election pages this weekend. Nor bills, cleaning etc. Gonna be a hectic week… #notGSD #
• Oooh, just learned that Charton Heston died. He had a good run. Think they have guns in Hell? #
• Did you you know that 17.5 yr olds can vote in the NC primary? http://www.co.orange.nc.us/elect/2008PrimarySampleBallots.asp #orangepolitics #
• Listening to muxtapes to avoid memory-hog iTunes. Suggestions? #
• Sorry the correct Heston joke should have been –> You can go ahead and pry the gun from his cold hands now. We regret the error. #
• @CPeterC, thanks I’ll add that to the queue. 😉 #
• Um, @08NTC, I think yr getting spammed. #
• @pearlbear JINX! 😀 #
• Not only is our blog down, http://www.bryght.com doesn’t even work now. This is getting ridiculous. #
• Enjoying http://dadscarradio.muxtape.com. Just wish muxtape could talk to last.fm… #
• @karitas thanks! I’ve queued those up in my ‘favorites.’ #
• @bmadder You already own the songs you post, and others can’t do anything but play them on-demand via the web. Don’t see a legal problem. #
• @edobejar Possiblemente es porque no queremos ser como una Barbie. #
• With our hosted blog and bryght.com completely down, do you think they would have some info about this on http://support.bryght.com? Nope. #
• @ntenhross Si, necesito practicar tambien. Debes leer @edobejar para nptech en español. 😉 #
• ¡Mchisimas gracias, @edobejar! #
• OMG, best muxtape of the day: http://kitschbitch.muxtape.com #
• @skeskali I know the feeling. How did I get married at all? Even my friends were surprised. #
• Thanks for bringing our site back after a 3+ hour outage, @bryght. This was one of the top 5 most important times for people visiting us. #
• We had 3x more traffic to our blog than normal last week, b/c of the King anniversary. Not a good time for flaky servers! Grrr. #
• @arsepoetica Uhm… well… I’ve had less productive days. Meetings soon, then more work. (Thx for the peer pressure.) #GSD #
• @arsepoetica Actually I’m gonna start doing election info data entry at 5. 🙁 #orangepolitics #
• Just found out we’ve been paying $800/mo for a service that was supposed to be $480. I’m looking at you #getactive. #
• @Mlsif Are you looking at state and local or just federal gov’t? #

• #Memphis beat #UCLA by 15 points! #UNC will have quite a challenge if we make it to Monday. #finalfour #basketball #
• @sonnycloward & @pearlbear, y’all have it all wrong. You need to come see US! Why should we all suffer just b/c your weather sux. 😉 #
• OK, it’s game time. The last or second-to-last game we get to watch this year. Inherently sad. #ncaa #finalfour #basketball #unc #
• Woah. #Kansas fans are boo-ing on the introduction of their former coach Roy Williams! Nice. Jealous much? #finalfour #unc #
• @jreesnc I’m not a father and I feel the same about the skimpy outfits. #
• Why is this always so far behind the action? http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/scoreboard :-(( #
• @tbeckett, I watch on TV but I like to follow the little graph & stats during the game. Found some here: http://rubyurl.com/ebI2 #
• OK, who slipped the mickies into #UNC’s Gatorade? No fair. #
• Never seen #UNC play so bad! But I feel the tide turning… #basketball #finalfour #
• @arsepoetica, don’t look! #
• #UNC defense improving, just need to get some shots to go down now. #basketball #
• Halftime: KU 44 – UNC 27. #
• #basketball (sorry @abbyladybug) Here we can see exactly how #UNC can come back: http://tinyurl.com/5jujvo #
• #KU lead down to 9. Anyone listen to Hubert Davis on the radio @ halftime? He predicted this exactly. #UNC knows how to run. #
• Ahem. Can I get a ‘woot?’ At least now if we lose I can feel good about the effort. KU lead is steadily decreasing. Listen to Woody! #
• WOW. UNC forced a time clock violation. KU’s lead is 5. #
• @cwhittle that’s more like it, you fair weather fan. #
• The Tarheels needed to close the deal at 5:00. Didn’t happen. Down by 19 now with 1:13 left/ #
• So so sad to see the end of a fantabulous year of #basketball at #UNC. Still heartbroken about Bobby Frasier. See you in the fall, Tarheels. #
• @arsepoetica, It means @tbeckett is listening to the Talking Heads. 😉 #
• @ericagee Thanks. The silver liming of this ugly loss is that maybe some of these players won’t go pro so quickly. I hope. #UNC #basketball #
• Interesting voter registration stat from NC Board of Elections: Dem: 2,553,309 Rep: 1,931,915 Unaff: 1,211,931 Total: 5,697,155 #

• Geekin’ and socializin’ at the Weave. Sitting outside in the mild & moist air. #
• Settling in to veg out and watch basketball while I work on candidate listings for #orangepolitics.org #
• Knock ’em dead, @suzboop! #
• Anyone going to Full Frame tomorrow afternoon? I’m looking at you, @arsepoetica… #
• @suzboop haha! Sounds like you were channeling my best friend from jr high. It was no mistake in her case, tho. #

• Uh oh. Looks like Brught is having another bad day. This is bad news on a big day for us. (40th anniversary of Dr. King’s assassination.) #
• Whoops that’s BRYGHT, not Brught. 😛 As in http://bryght.com, as in the temporary host of our blog http://FORpeace.net. #
• @EricReuters if it’s really simple just use wordpress.com. #
• Enjoying yr vacation tweets, @kanter. 🙂 #
• What is Dr. King’s legacy on this 40th anniversary of his aassasination? We reflect… http://www.forpeace.net/tag/mlk #
• Retweeting @helenprejean: "Ever wonder why over 80% of executions are carried out in the 10 southern states that practiced slavery?" #
• @juliakm, you have some news? #
• @msfour I read your blog about racism in Africa. it’s a sad commentary on human nature. I blame the imperialists that planted that seed. #
• @msfour Agreed. We didn’t plant the seed of racism, but we all help it grow within us. #

• Today’s the last day for early bird registration for the big Media Reform conf – at which I am speaking!! http://freepress.net/conference #
• Very excited about Nat’l COnf for Media Reform. I’m going to be on a panel with @Danah Boyd & Craig Newmark! and #
• (Whoops misfire. Mistweet?) @bmadder I just found out today. http://www.freepress.net/conference #ncmr #
• @MandianaJones the panel is called "Facebook Power: Organizing for Change on the Social Web" Kinda silly. #
• @ntenhross is that an open question to everyone? #
• @ntenhross I might do it if the time was limited. I always feel behind at work, so it’s hard to help others before dealing w/ my own stuff #
• @tiffanybbrown I pretty much assume that the U.S. gov’t has done more evil stuff than I can think of. Haven’t been wrong yet. #
• There is no way *this* brain is working on a departmental budget today. Not gonna happen. #
• Remember to visit us for more radical MLK inspiration over the weekend: http://forpeace.net/tag/mlk #
• Listening to http://ayse.muxtape.com and feeling the luv. Thanks @arsepoetica. #
• Cool, permanent early bird discount for National Media Reform Conf. See y’all there. http://www.freepress.net/conference Thanks @freepress! #
• @tbeckett Yeah, but he had the chance to learn about MLK when voting against his holiday, etc. http://colorofchange.org/mccain_facts #
• @sonnycloward me too. #Reset needed. #
• @tiffanybbrown, I agree with @arsepoetica. Fact is Rhodes is a shock jock just as bad as any, just with slightly better politics. #
• Ha ha, @sonnycloward! I have a couch in my office but now it’s too covered with junk to sit on. Either way, it’s supporting a bad habit. #
• I dunno, that’s just Air America always sounds like whenever I hear it. Like a left-wing Limbaugh (except not quite as loony). @arsepoetica #
• @bmadder, boo, hiss. We no likey the CivicPlus here in Chapel Hill http://tinyurl.com/6yr5wp #
• Thinking about calling my next presentation "It’s the network, stupid." #
• @chimprawk I’ve never seen anyone so excited about a committee. 😉 #

• @msfour, um, that’s not good. #
• @rosevines It’s a serious bug in Twitter. They claim it’s fixed, but I’ve seen it reoccur in other’s streams. You should report it. #

• Hi everyone at @nextnewsroom! My question: how will journalists develop reputation and authenticity in the new media landscape? #
• About to send our biggest e-mail yet from #DIA. Wish me luck. #
• @baratunde bwa hahaha! Nice one. #
• Hi @nextnewsroom, did you get my question? #
• I am getting so much shit done today! Launched newsletter, supervised Fellow, planned budget (on-going). I deserve a beer. #GSD #
• @abbyladybug, proof of karma. 😉 #
• @ntenhross, it’s true. You are VERY receptive to criticism. I should know, right? You could teach me a thing or 3 about grace. 😉 #
• Um @nextnewsroom, I could say the same thing about newspapers. "Blogs are like the penny press: there are many of them and they’re biased" #
• How is it not Friday yet? Hmmm. #
• @nextnewsroom so I guess they’re not addressing my question about trust & authenticity? #
• @webb, my fave Twitter tool isn’t on yer list. It’s http://quotably.com/ #
• #Reset. Ahh. #
• @rachelannyes, FYI I included the Tibet/Burme protest you sent me in our April newsletter: http://forpeace.net/tag/e-newsletter #

• @dbarger Great list! Do I smell a living room sci-fi film festival? 😉 #
• Every day that passes without John Edwards making an endorsement makes me care less and less about what he ends up saying. Too calculated. #
• @arsepoetica problem is, the longer he waits, the less I care, and it won’t matter what the strategy is. Edwards is becoming irrelevant. #
• @RobertP After all the railing against Clinton when he was a candidate, there is no way Edwards could be unclear now, unless he was BS-ing. #
• @RobertP @arsepoetica @jreesnc I just don’t *trust* Edwards anymore. That’s why I don’t care what he might say. #
• @dcm for that matter, he hardly even helped NC! Pretty much left us at the altar. #
• @RobertP I heard Edwards criticize Obama, but if he seriously attacked him he must have done it real-quiet-like. #
• Amen @BrianR! If Dems don’t want to represent us, we’ll go elsewhere. (After we elect Obama.) #
• There are a bunch of funny jokes/features in Google Apps today. #

• re: meeting scheduling, so far I have 2 votes for http://doodle.ch, 1 for meetingwizard, and a beta vote for http://www.squarepegged.org #
• Retweeting @hillaryclinton: "I challenge Senator Obama to a bowl-off, winner takes all." OK, she got a sense of humor! #
