This is awful. Awful concept. Awful execution that makes it look like skid marks. Bad overlay zooms from the 70s. I lived in Saskatoon and it's perfect for Saskatoon, but not to be consumed by anyone with standards and tastes outside of it. Used to be proud to call Saskatoon home. aAwful eExecution. wWho aApproved tThis?!

Re: What's the Connection Between Counting Squares and Innovation?

1. One.

2. Skipped the exercise and went down to read the comments which then made my head hurt and opted with Door Number One, Occam's razor. All problems tend to break down to a single iteration that is repeated or duplicated to yield some product or outcome. This particular problem can be broken down to one small square reiterated to produce what appears to be many squares.

3. Do believe Dr. Seuss said it best,
"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple"

Did not enjoy this article, however, I did receive value from the title of it. Thank you for that.

The only consistency is the inconsistency of change. It's not going anywhere... you can flight or fight... let me suggest the middle way... and flow.

My pattern needed a bit of a shock or short circuiting. Twitter had become a means to pay bills, not directly, but through constant upkeep of the the indirect and direct connections. I snapped. Couldn't take any more of it. Something had to give and so I set my intention to #takepause and do more of less. Well, that less was definitely more because I no longer checked statuses or rss feeds. I began sitting within my racing thoughts and just slowing them down. Began taking notice of the small things and my awareness blossomed.

Three weeks without the twitter. Yup.

My practice began almost a year and a half ago when I would refrain from the twitter every Friday. Great practice to begin with. Take one day to take the online, offline.

During this #takepause moment I also conducted a non-influence and a reverse clout experiment. My findings were quite astounding. No one really gives a shit about you unless you stay on your soapbox and yell :)

Thanks Tamsen for sharing your thoughts. You ladies continue to rock great articles... thank you for sharing!

Greatest advice I've heard in a long time and it keeps on finding me... "Get out of your own way"

Thanks for reinforcing that which is. *steps to the side*

Re: Women Who (Do) Tech: Moving Forward, Seizing the Future

Strange that no men are commenting on this post. I find that quite odd in comparison to the other articles cited above. However, something resonated in me when I read this article, in particular, the quote from Allyson Kapin, "Instead of being reactive, it’s time to be proactive and productive and become part of the solution.” Now the part that resonated deeply was not to be reactive. When we learn to respond instead of react, the solution stares us straight in the face, it's called a challenge and an opportunity. Yes, an opportunity to rise up gather momentum and move toward a solution.

Reading Anna's comments are exactly how I feel. It doesn't matter to me if you're a man or a woman. It also doesn't matter if you're beige, white or taupe. As soon as we can recognize that our differences make us all the same, then we're on to something. And as long as you're are the best at what you do and I'm the best at what I do and we do good things with our collective talents... then a good day has been had.

Cathy, you're on to something here. And if I may say... you #growgirl :)

Re: The 5 Worst Ways To Break Up With Someone.

iamkhayyam — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:51:24 -0000

Oh my... that was Tremendous!

Dude... not that you ever waver from pure hilarity... but this one, I could really sink my tears into. You see... some people on Twitter think I'm really super hot and awesome and cool and stuff, but I'm a graphic designer... I can like photoshop anything yo and I get funny ghost writers like that Guy Mitsubishi dude does! So I trick girls into dating me and then, the truth comes out. End result, dumped. In more ways than you could possibly imagine.

So thank you for making me accept that being dumped like this happens to the best of us.

To us. You and me. Two losers in a pod.
Chin up!

Re: 5 Secrets To Get Retweets That The Experts Won’t Tell You.

iamkhayyam — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:28:27 -0000

YES! The best and only article on how one can or should or even could get retweeted ;) Brilliantly executed mate!

I've been training under your tutelage I think I've accomplished all five steps...

1. I've got more STD's than a two dollar two toothed whore on a Tuesday during Tranny Twestival Week :)
2. The art is in the words that are between the spaces, like in your case bum juice. So my tweets usually read something like this:

RT @wpstudios: RT @iamkhayyam Use <bum juice=""> Firebug in Any Browsers <bumjuice> http://j.mp/CmA3l

See?! It's what you don't say...

3. What about PLZ RT... cause I think I just did. I'll take a Mulligan. Throw me another Top Flite.

4. Those numbers are completely wrong. It's more like 9AM-1PM-3PM-6PM-11PM-5AM (pretty much all the way through, those four hours are spent ordering food from topless sushi joints, watching Gossip Girl, taking a subway and #140winks to cap it all off. Oh wait, that's just me :(

5. Up Yours! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsMFZBDIcFs

Thank you for teaching me your ways. Thanks to you, I'm now putting out more bum juice than ever!

BUM JUICE FTW

I'm here all week... try my tweets ✌

Re: Coming Soon: Retweetable Comments

iamkhayyam — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:24:35 -0000

This post does allude to a replacement or solution to a commenting system that is retweetable. Thank you for the link to the blog to better elaborate.

Now, this is my question to you... do you force feed your @ name on every retweet of a comment as well?! So you'll get your big @ name with a brief excerpt of the comment with a link to the actual comment, right? So I'll probably get to see 115 chars of the actual comment, a link and your real estate that you command, ya?

In my opinion (which isn't worth much) the fact that you hijack tweets and have been doing so for this long to gain 'brand recognition' is dastardly at best. I always thought you had to earn it? Guess blindsiding and giving no option to your end user works as well. You've accomplished your greatness. How does it feel?

And for that reason I will forever be frowning upon your service, albeit a fantastic one. Wish you the best in your success and your abilities to adapt to your environment.

iamkhayyam — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 12:44:45 -0000

So leaving a comment here... would I technically be adding myself to the pool of other potential "crazies" like yourself? If so... now my two cents just expanded.

Wise words my man... wise. And if you being to use comments to connect... a way in which I manage mine is with http://backtype.com. Awesome service if you're getting into tracking comments in your field of interest.

Way to #crushit Gary.
