@KSLcom Your Utah Snowpack Totals page is broken. The map doesn't display the totals overlays.

@BoseService I've unsubscribed from your marketing emails multiple times, and your support even told me they removed me. But I got another two days later. Since I can't get removed, I'll just block Bose and won't be able to shop your website anymore. Recommend others avoid it too

@sandycityutah Great, but why do you need to call me three times for one test, twice from 801, once from Washington? People are working.

[David Oswald @doswaldslc]

@sandycityutah I've had three tests of Sandy's emergency broadcast system call my phone in the past hour, two from 801 and one from Washington. Could you maybe stop bothering everyone?

@AltaSkiArea your parking reservation site is down, not loading.

@alexa99 This just in: NWS has issued a freeze warning for a mall in Texas. Why is Alexa telling me this? Never been to Texas.

[David Oswald @doswaldslc]

@alexa99 Why am I getting weather alerts for a freeze warning in Texas? Never even been to Texas, and Alexa seems to know I'm in UT.

@novapatch Thanks!

[David Oswald @doswaldslc]

@novapatch A few years ago you gave a talk, I think at the Perl Conference but it may have been elsewhere, on schema for real people (calling out the difficulties caused by narrow assumptions about what constitutes a name, and so on). Do you know of a link?

[David Oswald @doswaldslc]

@wowinteresting8 It took nerves of steel to prove out that hypothesis.

@wowinteresting8 @railmeat New fear unlocked.

A boom heard around Salt Lake City on Saturday had everyone wondering — was it thunder? Or maybe an earthquake?

In a few hours, forecasters at the National Weather Service said they had solved the mystery. It was simply a meteor hurtling through the air. https://t.co/FZPlt589pS

@Ptolemarch Definitely agree on Knuth, Lovelace, Hoare, Dijkstra. Can't leave out Alan Turing, John McCarthy, and if we get to include mathematicians, Haskell Curry.

@TansuYegen Plot twist: It's reversed and inverted. ;)

@SandyCityFD Hydrant at 9645 Colemere has been leaking badly for a few days.

Whiteout conditions caused a Blackhawk helicopter crash with another helicopter that resulted in more than $9 million in damages in February, the Utah Army National Guard said today.

@sandycityutah Got the same call twice on my phone within a two minute timeframe. Why?
