Chris Lott: Google reader now does offline? Didn’t Alan blog about GR offline ability before?? Lack of offline facility is my only Blogbridge hangup…
Chris Lott: @GardnerCampbell retweet? That’s the timer I noted in yesterday’s links… a useful idea!
Chris Lott: Now there’s a great idea: turn captchas into books: http://www.wral.com/news/technology/story/1442750/
Chris Lott: Trying unsuccessfully to explain Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem to an online friend. Like I’m right for that. Read _Godel, Escher Bach_!
Chris Lott: @matthom I don’t get much out of Facebook either— it’s just like a zillion other YASNSs
Chris Lott: All day moving the office… Internet free days at work, horrible. Internet free days otherwise, blissful.
Chris Lott: Dreamed I was 1/2 size, riding a tiny motorcycle in endless ovals in my back yard while my biological father chased me. Paging Dr. Freud…
Chris Lott: @dnorman About 600 feeds (that could be the problem) — many are just occasional, topical, project feeds… might dump those into greader
Chris Lott: Strange gaps in my Twitter history…. need to sleep anyway.
Chris Lott: @dnorman 5.5 weekly— running a weekly, I guess I’m taking my chances…

Set Twitter alarms for yourself…
Chris Lott: Blogbridge’s performance is suddenly a problem— I wish I could set it to manually update feeds, the update at startup is particularly bad..

Chris Lott: Back at the Anchorage airport waiting for the connection home. Rainy here, rainy in Kenai, rainy everywhere…
Chris Lott: @gardner The Scarry book leaves a lot of openings, but it was a refreshingly direct and interesting thought stimulator! Viva beauty indeed!
Chris Lott: _On Beauty and Being Just_ is online (pdf): www.tannerlectures.utah.edu/lectures/scarry00.pdf - no more posts or I’ll annoy D’arcy :)
Chris Lott: Really enjoying “On Beauty and Being Just” — opiated adjacency. A must-read imo: http://www.salon.com/books/feature/1999/11/09/scarry/
Chris Lott: Sipping some truly stomach-eating airport espresso while waiting 45 minutes for connection to 20 minute flight…
Chris Lott: @jimgroom I was just showing that same exhibit to a group during a seminar last week… great example…
Chris Lott: Off to the wi-fi free airport for the jaunt to Anchorage then Kenai. Can’t find my short-range glasses. No dreams or haiku this morning…
Chris Lott: Various silly prep items before the early day trip to Kenai tomorrow. Would rather be drinking beer and fishing than discussing distance ed!
Chris Lott: Gone writing— will have to foment my own revolution getting everyone back to real writing with substance: epic poems and lyrical essays!
Chris Lott: Dreamed I was running an acting collaborative, putting on shows that were alternative narratives to/within existing plays and stories.
Chris Lott: Done did me some grilling… everything came out great except the eggplant. That was a grilled experiment gone terribly wrong.

Because we don’t have enough to do…
Chris Lott: @keiramc Wayfaring is another good collab mapping app (http://www.wayfaring.com/) designed for the kind of thing it seems you are doing
Chris Lott: My mother lives alone with her dying eyes in an apartment too new to know by heart.
Chris Lott: Missed _Talk Like Bob Dylan Day_ (http://www.talklikebobdylan.com/) but you can still watch the videos. “No Direction, Period” is the best
Chris Lott: @iconolith I can’t believe you dare question the power of master David Carradine. He will teach you, Grasshopper, slowly he will teach you.
Chris Lott: Stunned. Just heard that Sarah Hannah (http://www.writersartists.net/shannah.htm), an amazing, young poet killed herself a few nights ago.

Chris Lott: @brlamb Darren is right on…similar attempts to create cross- “generational” communities with other tools are out there. Great insight.

Chris Lott: I have a physicist’s understanding of nothing; a lonely man’s knowledge of the vacuum between fiery nebulae and the frozen light of stars
Chris Lott: @dawnese A “bump slut”! I like it. I once got three free tickets on the same trip from san diego to fairbanks. guess I’m a total bumpin’ ho
Chris Lott: Don’t quite get Scott’s point about feeling like probs were his fault— when Tvacts up I KNOW it’s not my fault! except that last post :)
Chris Lott: I don’t
Chris Lott: No sugar, flour etc for 2 months. Last night a big piece of choco cake. Now am suffering… worse than alcohol hangover. Back on the wagon.
Chris Lott: @jimgroom Hopefully Scott will get back here soon (if most of us resist Jaiku’s siren call)
Chris Lott: Ozymandias funnies http://tinyurl.com/zrzp4.27s_poem and http://tinyurl.com/zrzp4
Chris Lott: @dawnese Check out this post by Jim Groom (http://tinyurl.com/24b2rk) news you can use
Chris Lott: @brlamb I suspect the power pop thing is already happening, what with Big Star, Badfinger, The Jam, etc… it never ends!
Chris Lott: I wanna be one of the cool poets with sheaf of google-derived poems, clove cigarettes, vaguely lesbian coterie, the whole nine yards
Chris Lott: Grooving to The Raspberries… how could I not have heard them before? And were they produced by a Phil Spector clone or Phil himself?
