beyond the 140: planet tweet-boy
It's been a few days and here's what you've missed...
@michellej oooh, muxtape. I'm going to play with that tonight.
GOOD Magazine made a muxtape: http://goodblog.muxtape.com/
and, my muxtape. All 2008 releases, none of which I've talked about anywhere yet - http://misterjt.muxtape.com/
Alright, the muxtape is updated. It's a Gray Sky Saturday Kinda Mixology - http://misterjt.muxtape.com/ - And now, we escape the APT.
finally digging into iLike. The instant playlist thing is the only thing that's a killer app so far. Everything else I get from last.fm.
spent the afternoon with Dick Sherman. Feeling inspired and Mickey Mouse Proud: http://www.theboysdoc.com/
Wednesday was one of the best work days I've had in a while. I spent the afternoon in the Old Animation Building listening to half of the duo that came up with It's A Small World and all of Mary Poppins and nearly a thousand other Disney songs. He told us Walt stories and about what it was like to work at Disney in the 60s and also shared insights into teamwork and relationships and creativity and having a positive view of the world. As he said, "The other way is too easy."
Of course, I ate it up.
@tiffanybbrown I'm naturally an introvert, too, and people are shocked to hear that.
my bumper sticker of the day: introverts do it one on one.
@gillianr I'm INTP
Ever since my first taking of the Myers-Briggs test in high school, I've been INTP. The only one that even has a chance of switching is the N to an S. I've always liked this test as I think it explains me really well. I don't like generalizing (actually, I do, but in context and with the expectation that you understand what "generalization" means. Sigh, see, I'm already overexplaining), but INTPs are most concerned with the "why" of things. How is fascinating, of course, but How ceases to be useful after it has informed the Why. What, When, and Where? Bah. Those things can change but they rarely effect the universal Why.and, if you ever want to shrink me, this is kind of perfect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
I like to know stuff. I'm generally convinced I know more than you do. I don't hold that against you. Also, I'm too busy trying to know more to call you on the phone or put away these dishes.
That's me in a nutshell.
a funny thing happened on the way to book reading in the great outdoors, planet bboy and hurry curry in old pasadena. Double bonus.
I nearly broke into an uprock while walking out of the theatre. True story.
Also, some other independent films to remember to go see:
Young@Heart
Jellyfish
Red Belt
Video chat is the business. Now to get a bunch of stuff electronically powered done in the next 53 minutes so I can read/nap at earth hour.
time to light some candles and power down some ish.
whilst walking my 'hood during earth hour, was reminded that my orthodox neighbors are earth hour compliant every shabbat for a full day.
my earth hour compliance? I powered down/unplugged everything except for tivo. I read for 8 minutes and walked for 52. Did use iPod on walk.
post earth hour? microwave, printer, heaters and fans will stay unplugged until needed.
But, you know, that's way too heavy to think about, man. It's easier to just be a feel-good green shopper.
