    @kllaatu I watched BSG through to the last episode
    bsg: yeah, i remember convincing you it was a worthwhile series shortly before i stopped watching it ;-) you had to catch up...

    life on mars finale: sure, it was a dream sequence, still worked out kina cool
    Life on Mars: Did he kill himself like he did in the UK original? Also 2nd UK series set in the early 80's, hope they copy it
    oh hell, they totally bailed, like flipping everyone off, and deservedly so. they even had a "...and you were there, and you.." line
    Life on Mars: Sounds like the Wiz of Oz spoof ending to A Fistful of Yen part of Kentucky Fried movie http://bit.ly/c6sfk
    hmm, hadn't considered this: LoM finale aired on april fool's day. but apparently they had intended that ending from the start
  • 2009.04.03 15:24: LoM: funny that people mention "obama's child as president" as a mistake in the finale...
  • 2009.04.03 15:25: ... while no one seems to have noticed the instantaneous communication from earth to mars...
  • 2009.04.03 15:27: ... real elapsed time (round trip) would be anywhere from 6 to 45 minutes, very roughly speaking
  • 2009.04.03 15:31: oh well, on the tv series finale track today: er's started out nicely, just an evening with old friends...
  • 2009.04.03 15:31: ... but continuing carter's angst, and putting him back in the er... that just felt - empty - somehow
  • 2009.04.03 15:33: kudos, however, for not withholding on patient deaths - it was a twofer night ! ;-)
  • 2009.04.03 17:02: trying to wrap my head around amazon's cloud offerings: http://aws.amazon.com
  • 2009.04.03 17:02: lots of pitfalls & potentials; as a professional, how far does one go with this ?
  • 2009.04.03 17:05: and it's not like you can just approach this as a hobbyist.. where's the free-of-charge play area ?
  • 2009.04.03 18:00: fuzzy thoughts on direct vs. indirect monetization...
  • 2009.04.03 18:00: advertising, subsidies, presence...
  • 2009.04.03 18:01: as opposed to commodity cost
  • 2009.04.03 18:02: not much different than a floating monetary system
  • 2009.04.03 18:03: maybe madison avenue (and their ilk) is more to blame than wall street
  • 2009.04.03 18:04: [me.dailyscore++ for the use of an odd word in proper context]
  • 2009.04.03 18:05: revisiting twitter reputation / karma: per item, total & daily scores... hmm...
  • 2009.04.03 18:06: of course, these need to be multi-scale things too. yeah, why do i turn everything into a mmpi-analog ?
  • 2009.04.03 18:07: [me.dailyscore-- for unnecessary tangential comments]
  • 2009.04.03 18:07: man, is self a wicked-tough censor, or what ?
  • 2009.04.03 18:19: gotta say, though, the amazon cloud console still has a lot of "coming soon" features: https://console.aws.amazon.com/
  • 2009.04.03 18:22: i hate when things want my credit card just to register & look around
  • 2009.04.03 18:24: no thanks - i'd want to open a new card/bank account for this purpose; i'm not giving any "on-demand" service access to personal accounts
  • 2009.04.03 18:28: so - they must have a throttle in there someplace, seriously
  • 2009.04.03 18:38: @craigg75 re mobot, amazon cloud may make sense; see also http://aws.amazon.com/publicdatasets/
  • 2009.04.03 18:39: @craigg75
    good scifi story podcast http://ub0.cc/0H/35 alt. history of Hilter but as a good guy
