Got rolled up pair of socks from drawer. Put left one down, and right one on. 100% sure! Couldn't find left one?! Found it (by itself) in the sock drawer. Evidence of:

a) we are living in a (buggy) simulation
b) quantum mechanical tunnelling
c) a and b are the same thing

I’ve always preferred bar soap over body wash when taking a shower. Today I blew an enormous soap bubble with my nostril, so I’m reconsidering. #deepthoughts

I love watching @chicagobulls basketball from Seattle, BUT the @NBALPSupport app on @amazonfiretv is super buggy. It’s next to impossible to get the @chicagobulls home feed with @Stacey21King b/c the app’s stream controls don’t work well. #gimmethehotsauce (& the Bulls feed)!

And this has been happening almost every inning of every game for at least several days.

[ifreed @ifreed]

Question for @MLBTV — why do I pay for a subscription, and then you run ads that overrun the beginning of almost every inning. Listening to @Mariners and just came back from ads to a 2-2 count???

@jencarolan @tonywan @amazon @JeffBezos @Google Also, wish I could push a magic button and convert my hard copy into the Kindle version 😀

[ifreed @ifreed]

@jencarolan @tonywan Wonder if there are any lessons from @amazon? He was on the board when I was @JeffBezos’ TA. He was also on the board of @Google at the same time! Both companies seem to have mastered #SpeedandScale ;-)

@khalifygreens So incredibly awesome, and well deserved! Congratulations, @khalifygreens! There are times when I've seen you play, when I think you can actually fly ... off the ground ... for hours! BRAVO!!!

[ifreed @ifreed]

At #ASUGSV - 10am on 4/5 – See me demo Bamboo Learning EDU for iPad. You’ve never seen a voice-based K–5 reading app like this! I’ll also share some incredible anecdotes from our pilot with 1st graders at John Rex Charter School in OKC.
