E-Chuckles:
ah, seattle. one of the few places where you can walk into a bar and be totally ignored because the drunk guys aren’t hitting on girls… they’re trying to figure out ways to make out with their iPhones while praying they’ve gulped the weekend away so they can return to the comfort of their undecorated Microsoft offices…
I don’t know Elizabeth very well. But, we’ve hung out a few times, and I can confirm that she is funny and smart, and I think it’s too bad I didn’t have time to get to know her better before she packs up and moves to New York. It’s been fun, e-chuck — I’ll see you in New York, sometime. Bye for now. :) Visit site »
Vedder and Legend will team up to work on music for a documentary miniseries adapted from Howard Zinn’s two People’s History of the United States books. “The People Speak” seems a likely candidate for HBO. Nice. Visit site »

According to Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, T-Mobile has shut down access to Twitter’s shortcode (40404) for at least some of its customers (it’s not entirely clear whether this only applies to those paying for unlimited messages, or all customers). This is an ballsy, asshole-ish move on T-Mobile’s part. I would call it shocking and unbelievable, but I’ve accepted that all U.S. mobile carriers are basically douchebags who damn give a damn about their customers. I don’t know if Twitter is a big enough deal for the backlash of this to really hurt T-Mobile, but I do know that if they keep up these kinds of practices, it will eventually bite them in the ass.
