  • “By per­sist­ing in your path, though you for­feit the lit­tle, you gain the great” –Emer­son, on Flickr http://ping.fm/YstMQ #
  • Watch­ing Obama speech live now on UMTV at the Knight Cen­ter; couldn’t get tick­ets to the event #
  • @MiamiHurricane What was the heck­ling about? Who was doing it? #
  • “Under my plan, taxes would be lower than under Ronald Rea­gan” –Obama #
  • I like FriendFeed’s changes a lot, even if they’re slight. Twitter’s too. #
  • Poing­nant pho­tos on the Red Cross Flickr page, lots of hur­ri­cane relief work http://www.flickr.com/photos/americanredcross #
  • Work­ing on Refresh­Mi­ami, next meetup is on Wednes­day. The first 75 to arrive get in and then it’s touch and go. Will send out an email soon. #
  • @ricksanchezcnn Why should the aver­age tax­payer foot the bill to bail out irre­spon­si­ble mort­gage lenders, insur­ers, and spec­u­la­tors? #
  • Retweet­ing @brbreslin Need venue ideas for future Refresh­Mi­ami events. Prefer­ably large enough to acco­mo­date 75–100 or more. Cost is issue! #
  • @DearYvette Refresh­Mi­ami is not yet a non-profit, we’re look­ing into it. Coral Gables is prob­a­bly as far South as we’ll go. #
  • @DearYvette The Grove is North East of the Gables. A fifth of Refresh mem­bers are in Broward, so we can’t go too far South. #
  • @aerodi Agreed. Nei­ther the rest of the world nor the aver­age US tax­payer should foot this trillion-Dollar bill. #
  • @brbreslin That would be nice. This would also serve to mashup local star­tups on a South Florida map. #
  • @djkn0x Cool … we’ll col­lect zip codes at the next meetup and maybe poll for them as well. I’d love to see a tech map for So. Fla. :) #
  • Dear Twit­ter, I do have email con­tacts: http://tinyurl.com/4j2s5n #
  • @glmaranto That is one nut­case group with their facts all jum­bled up. I’m sur­prised they’ve pub­lished their address on the web. #
  • @FreeRangeMom Skitch yields a huge pro­duc­tiv­ity boost in so many ways. You can even just drag screen­shots straight into doc­u­ments. #
  • @DearYvette We should update the list of South Florida twit­ter­ers on Twit­ter­pack #
  • Cookie-cutter soc­nets like FB just don’t cut it! For ex., you can’t print out a guest list! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrr! (says he like an irate pirate) #
  • @glmaranto I’ve gath­ered they’re also impres­sion­able young males who got their facts wrong. Let’s see how the story unfolds. #
  • @digitalfemme That’s more like it! arrrrrrrr .… How’s the Twit­ter Café going, btw? I haven’t been able to stop by … #
  • @JoanVinallCox Skitch just keeps get­ting bet­ter with time. You can even add water­marks to pho­tos … I hadn’t noticed that before. #
  • Had a bad week? TGIF! http://tinyurl.com/466pnh (via @jchutchins ) #
  • Few peo­ple tweet about their happy hour http://tinyurl.com/4jdoc9 I’m on my way to Segafredo’s on Brick­ell :) #
  • Pre­vi­ous link didn’t work: http://tinyurl.com/468ov8 #
