there are more. need I go on? I didn't think so.

just in case you go ahead and delete some of these i'll highlight the text of the first tweet included here:

"Imho, no one from TechCrunch should comment on Twitter or their competitors, without disclaiming their business relationship with Twitter."

many people definitely don't know how to integrate these new technologies into their lives in reasonable ways, i'm one of them. i go way overboard (checking twitter every 5 minutes, for example).

yeah i thought about how things have changed for the better too - but overall, i don't know, i still suspect that we are going to keep getting worse and sadly, new technology may play a pretty big roll in that, as paul brings up.

i'm generally thanking you guys for this wonderful thread.

reminds me too much of 'citizens on patrol' from one of the police academy moves (4?)

parislemon — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:02:39 -0000

yeah i dont like 'citizen journalism' either.

well this is going to make me sound like even more of a dick, but i am sorry, there were just too many to respond to each one while trying to work that day. that said, i am very appreciative of the wishes, I did see them all (i think), and i do thank you for yours!

First, that certainly seemed to be your point when you wrote, and I quote, "The signal being sent here is that women have no place in TechCrunch."

Second, so you're saying if it were one image, you would have had no problem with it? Please.

Third, I still love how you assume to know my intent even though you've never met me and/or talked to me. If you took some personal exception to an experience you had that's fine, but don't drag me into this based on assumptions you are making about a person you have never met.

Anyway, you got your recognition now. Congrats. I consider this conversation over.

Great point Rob. But like Paul said, these are women we know fairly well. And as I said, I wasn't there, so I won't really speak to what was or wasn't said. I just don't see an reason to attack me (or Paul) for any of this - whatever this is, if anything.

hmm can't speak to mike's image choice there, but for mine, those were all related to the post. thx

Re: On Drumming And Distractions

parislemon — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:12:10 -0000

quite right nate, i never want to miss something. if i had to put my finger on what makes me wake up after only 5 or so hours of sleep (since i'm going to bed so late), it would be that, i really worry about what i missed while asleep.

re: drumming. clearly you know better than i. i wonder if there's a way to master independence while doing something like reading a blog post and responding to emails at the same time. we have two hands and two eyes... but yeah, my problem could very well be that when i was drumming, I was constantly thinking of something else which killed it for me.

Re: On Drumming And Distractions

parislemon — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:09:34 -0000

that's an interesting thought. i wonder how much productivity is lost versus how much is gained with email/IM/etc. obviously wolfe feels it's much more loss, that might be true in the end. though i'd argue that more creativity might be lost as a result of the distractions, which may be worse.

Re: On Drumming And Distractions

parislemon — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:07:56 -0000

yeah. at some point I have this feeling that I'll just go somewhere for a year and check nothing.

Okay, I'll play the jazz flute.

Re: On Inbox Zero

parislemon — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:46:13 -0000

but my point is that if email influx continues to increase, will your system still work? i was working within a similar system for a while, but recently it has become untenable.

Re: On Inbox Zero

parislemon — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:26:39 -0000

love the escalator payment idea. turn email into a game, it's not unlike something i've been thinking about recently...

Re: On Inbox Zero

parislemon — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:05:42 -0000

heh i like that idea, my own assistant! sadly, one day, it may come to that.

Re: On Inbox Zero

parislemon — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 06:23:10 -0000

Right, you manage it now, but my point is that with email continually increasing, eventually you will reach a point where you would need to spend more hours a day in front of the computer then there are hours in a day.

Ha. Wow. Who would want to pass that kind of dream up?

Re: How Does Schmidt Like Them Apples?

parislemon — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:29:52 -0000

that's a very good question. maybe you remember my VB post about that situation. with schmidt now out, it could make things easier, and with no litigation about the Pre's multi-touch I suspect we will see Android multi-touch relatively soon. but the rumors of it in donut proved premature.
