@alainsaffel because the town grew slowly!

@JZ I still think table layouts are a great way to learn (seriously)

@BrockSky ummm, is this a dating website?

@longstride good practice for customer support as well!

@detourphoto @patrickkerby congrats you two! Have a great day, and an even better marriage.

@longstride that sounds amazing.

@neilson ha ha ha. True.

@jamesschutz DUDE. So much of our day is spent screening these f*cking calls!

I've been working at a coffee shop all day. I can't believe how much work I've got done. #hammertime

@BaronVonFichter Even sadder - this came from a City of Edmonton sanctioned study that was never put into practice. :(

@BaronVonFichter Yes! You mean a mix of commercial and residential? PBS did a great show on Amsterdam http://to.pbs.org/naznDU

Conventional neighborhood (current practice) vs Traditional neighborhood (how we used to do it). #yeg

@sh Wait a second. YOU JUST STARTED A BUSINESS and you're taking a vacation?!?! #awesome

@ChrisLaBossiere Now the deeper question: is this for a new project? Hmmm? ;)

@ChrisLaBossiere I've had to register a corporation before; I would have loved to have done it online.

@ChrisLaBossiere Seriously? Should this have had a #sarcasm hashtag, or is this for real?

@raspberrysarah love this photo. Makes me want to go canoeing.

Hey #yyc what do you think of the City of Calgary's website preview? http://preview.calgary.ca ("search" is very prominent) #webdesign

@amyhoy What's crappy about it? How could it be better?

@jasonfried hmm. They obviously didn't read "Outside money is Plan Z."

@longstride I just started writing. And then I kept going.

@amcwilliam No. It's because the only way to track "opens" is if the recipient loads images or clicks on a link.

@amcwilliam Take a look at this blog post I wrote for more info: http://bit.ly/mYf8wS

@amcwilliam Just because they're not showing up as "opened" doesn't mean they're not reading them. It just means those ppl aren't trackable.

Thanks to @sivers this is getting some traction. Could you vote this up on Hacker News? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2858561

@karenbdc Thank you. I appreciate the kind words.

@karenbdc Ha ha. That's awesome. I'm also @BrockSky's co-worker at @industrymailout.

I have a bunch of Google+ invites if anyone wants them: http://bit.ly/rfdgCw (you'll need a gmail account)

BTW: I emailed @sivers this past week, and he actually wrote back (that day!) Super impressed. Just bought his book: http://amzn.to/oJGbZj

WHOA! @sivers tweeted about one of my blog posts! https://twitter.com/#!/sivers/status/100398678501634048 #business Thanks man!

@brcallander that place has nearly ended my marriage many times.

@amyhoy that sounds awesome!!!

@jamis what did the kids think?

@vilcsak whoa! Are they paying you by the hour down there?

RT @robdelaney: I just had ONE SIP of Monster Energy Drink & immediately threw a fax machine at my boss.

@caseyswoods VERY TRUE.

Everyone needs to watch @sivers's biz series on AppSumo: http://appsumo.com/sivers/ (esp. Section 7, where he is especially poignant and funny).

This is just how it works with men. Man: "I'M SO ANGRY AT YOU!" Woman: "But I made you steak" Man: "I love you."

EVERYBODY STOP. You've been sitting at your computer too long. Stand up, and walk away. Look out your window and pause. Take a breath.

@amyhoy not compared to investment bankers!

@amyhoy and the investment bankers are characterized as "not adding much value" to the economy.

@amyhoy Yes; striking difference. Lower 0.99 of top 1% are hardworking physicians, lawyers, biz ppl. Top 0.01 are in investment banking.

@amyhoy that is interesting! What was the most poignant point(s) for you?

@cosupport @sh I'm not sure if you've seen this @sivers video, but it's a great commentary on support over the internet http://youtu.be/cfwwHa-7Ux8

Great video by Derek Sivers (founder of http://cdbaby.com) on how to treat people over the internet.

@MoreWillie well. I am Canadian. Ref: http://bit.ly/qLFxeD

@MoreWillie DONUTS!

Today is @BrockSky's birthday, and he's stuck at the office. WISH HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY WON'T CHA?

@mikekus Is your work for @treehouse contract based, or are you back on staff?

@peteusborne ha ha. Is there a number blacked out on there?

@garyvee Americano. It's 7:22am here in Edmonton.

@amcwilliam what are you studying?

@amcwilliam unfortunately, in the eyes of some employers, post-secondary education is a much. But in the "real world," experience trumps.

likes Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win (SebastiAn Remix) by Beastie Boys on Ping http://itun.es/ig47bx #iTunes

@evangoldin it's an artificial hoop. It's a standard employment practice (which makes the degree valuable), but it doesn't define job perf.

@rocketslide ha ha ha. That made me laugh this morning.

Real life experience always trumps traditional education. Always.

As a man with a business degree, I think stating "must have a business degree" in a job posting is ridiculous.

@jhinson wow. I've had many similar highlights with my kids. Parenthood is just plain crazy.

@stevetsuida odd. Most of the young people I know are politically indifferent, or just indifferent. The most active tax haters seem 40-65

@stevetsuida is it parents that are facing off against more taxes? It feels more like grandparents facing off against taxes.

@stevetsuida I do!!!!
