Dave Winer's Twitter posts for 1/25/2009

If you felt sure someone meant well, but what they said sounded arrogant or condescending, would you make an issue of it, or let it go?
To answer @bmanley --> I don't know how I come off. Who does? How can you know? How much should you care?
With 6 billion people on the planet who can say with authority how anyone "comes off?" Aren't there 6 billion answers to that question?
@LauraLeeSparks -- I agree -- let it go -- life's too short! http://bit.ly/166f9
@JohnBorthwick -- it's true -- I think he decided to publish it when he thought someone else was about to.
He may have picked Hillary cause she's a good SoS, but the choice also removed a challenger in 2011. http://bit.ly/xHMH
OK people are going to give me hell for this but I gotta say it anyway: The last episode of BSG sucked.
One more thing: Rick Warren was and is an ass and it didn't matter that he spoke at the inaugural. Must remember for next time.
@Doctoe -- big virtual hug on your first day back.

And it's not a major secret that Steve Gillmor wants Microsoft to make or buy its own Twitter.
Charlie Nesson keeps the heat on the RIAA. http://bit.ly/cjnq
The Reader and The Wrestler have something huge in common. Not wanting to spoil it for people who haven't seen both, I can't say what it is.
One thing I would love to see: An Amazon EC2 AMI that booted up as an instance of Laconi.ca. If you understand what that means. :-)
New mission: Every day I'm going to send at least one virtual hug to one person on Twitter. Maybe more than one. :-)
You might be surprised who gets one! :-)
