I can ask my neighbor Betty (89 years old) about either Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. Alas, Linus Torvalds? She'd say "Your brother Linus?"

Linus Torvalds is more than worthy, but not as broadly iconic. Another discussion, although I support insight re anyone or thing you want!

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the most iconic technology leaders of my (our) generation. Who influences you more, and why? #twitterpoll

He pulls up to me at a light, rolls down his window. I just gave him the BadMolsEye. I must be very good at it, guy hit that gas so fast!

I was driving to the Walgreens 5 miles over the speed limit. Guy in big ol' white SUV riding my tail. I dropped my speed and pissed him off.

I am so tired and absolutely disgusted with a society that places all its value on ownership, status, and almost none on its humans.

I appreciate all the support but please, don't. What I DO need is regular income, quality medical care and a stable home environment.

I already did my midlife crisis. I don't know what's going on with me lately, but not much of it's good. #depression #disorder #whatItIs

Kind of what @slightlylate did with Chrome Frame, limited to the dev tools. The engines would run as natively as feasible. #Webdev

What about a browser "harness" that safely runs every recent browser engine, with a look into that unique engine's features and display?

@LeftyDesigner Really? Hmm. Not sure for me that Alias ranks the same as Lost. Or Person of Interest. Or even Fringe (don't hurt me!).

@meriwilliams I did. And I swear we've had this conversation before ;) Really enjoyed seeing her again, such a quirky wonderful character!

I think Person of Interest is a great show, @johnfoliot. It entertains me, and I like that. Emerson, what talent! And Caviezel is pure fun.
First seasons of Lost were TV nothing TV'd seen @Sheerman. I have fondness for other Abrams projects. I very much enjoy Person of Interest.

Why yes, @richquick. Here's my longform certificate: "Holzschlag" - how that made it through Ellis Island is long enough form for anyone.
Thank you all! My head is now exploding. Non-sequitur, quick! #Alcatraz. Worth it? Kinda always have had a crush on Jorge Garcia. #justSayin

Maternal lineage information was mostly destroyed in Poland, prior to WWII. All grandparents came to this country as refugees. #Genealogy

There are no near family records of which I am aware. My father and mother both have birth certificates in the US. #immigrant #immigrantlife

@ellywilliams And their children would then be "twice" removed? But my Gran's sibling's child would be the second cousin?
