Things you would have learned if you followed me on Twitter. 
Apparently, I am, according to Andrew Keen, a hippie, academic and peasant. Pretty accurate. I'm a technopeasant.
Andrew Keen once said I should get a Pulitzer.
m.pownce.com is very nice. If you've been overwhelmed by all the michegas in Pownce you might try this UI.

I have 579 friends on Pownce. (Update: 639.)
I'm not a Democrat. I don't believe that "we" have to win. I'm not part of that "we."
"Hope" is the right thing to be focused on, because normally, we are "hope-less."
Update: Francine Hardaway follows me on Twitter and confirms something a lot of people suspect. She's only seen half of these twits. She thinks Twitter eats these gems. If so that's very bad!
