• @reiver huge difference. In these polygamist homes women are kept almost as slaves, without education or any kind of training #
• @reiver when they do want out they can be kept against their will. girls who grow up in it have no other choice #
• @reiver here is the story of the lost boys–boys forced out to keep the female to male ratio high #
• @reiver sorry link: http://www.childbrides.org/boys.html #
• @reiver forced marriages, arranged marriages, kidnaping and rape are all part of the culture #
• @reiver I’m not against adults entering into whatever kind of relationship they want of their own will, but this stuff goes way beyond that #
• Uploading a new Lo-Fi Saint Louis–the Trip Daddys! Link to come … #
• @ruperthowe thanks for all the great comments you’ve been leaving. The feedback is much appreciated. BTW Helium Tapes episode coming #
• @RexDixon just use this to explain twitter: http://tinyurl.com/384n2f #
• @ruperthowe They have a CD coming out soon, finally! #
• OK New Lo-Fi Saint Louis http://tinyurl.com/68djg2 #
• just had an earth quake here in St. Louis MO #
• could really get back to sleep after the earth quake #
• gotta get up now, wow quake damage closed part of Kingshighway #
• For those of you not in st. Louis, we had 5.4 at 4:36 am centered about 100 miles e of St. Louis #
• lasted 90 seconds #
• @ruperthowe yeah they don’t happen often here but we’ve been known to have some really big ones #
• @ruperthowe the New Madrid fault about 100 miles from here caused a big one about 200 years ago. Could happen again #
• This map is kinda funny with the one big block in the middle of the country: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/ #
• Athough it looks like that there was a small one on the New Madrid fault within the last week #
• nothing like an earthquake to kick the weekend off right! #
• aparently three was a 4.5 aftershock but I didn’t feel it #
• @tonykatz yes I lost about an hour of my beauty sleep, terrible, complete disaster #
• St. Louis bloggers meetup tomorrow at Atomic Cowboy at 6pm #
• @hpbatman7 it shoots Anamorphic DV, which can look really good. It’s a SD camera, no SD Camera shoots 16×9 natively #
• @hpbatman7 I shot all the stuff on Lo-Fi Sessions in anamorphic 16×9 DV http://lofisessions.com #
• @hpbatman7 @unholyknight You don’t need a wide angle lens to shoot 16×9 you just need a 16×9 function on the camera which that one does #
• @hpbatman7 @unholyknight also that camera has a 72mm lens so wide angle lenses for it are way more expensive than $50–I did the research #
• @hpbatman7 @unholyknight you’ll pay around $400 for a halfway decent wide angle lens for that camera #
• @hpbatman7 dude you can call me anytime–I wanted to talk to you about vloggercamp anyway #
• @hpbatman7 it’s in the menu under camera setup–>aspec convert–>squeeze (squeeze is another term for anamorphic) #

• this debate is some kind of bullshit. How about some questions about issues? #
• Stupid questions goddamn this debate is stoooooopid. #
• what is going on here? #
• maybe they can ask why they wear their hair a certain way? #
• because that’s important #
• @tonykatz Thats bullshit. #
• A common lie the Republicans tell: cutting taxes raises revenue–never happened. Not under Reagan not under Bush. Complete fiction #
• Another Republican lie: Raising taxes hurts the economy–never happened. #
• @tonykatz Prove it. #
• Reagan cut taxes revenues went down. He raised taxes revenues went up–so did the economy! Same with Clinton. Numbers don’t lie. #
• Thats not to say that raising taxes absolutely helps or hurts the economy–it’s just that probably doesn’t have that much effect either way #
• @Mamalogues Yes we did and how did that hurt the economy? #
• @Mamalogues Bush has made massive tax cuts since he’s been president and how is that helping us now? $9 trill in debt and a $400 B deficit #
• @Mamalogues Borrowing isn’t exactly good for the economy–thats just passing taxes on to the next generation–not really a tax cut #
• @acarvin ME! #
• @RocmanUSA wow thats messed up! what was it? Heart attack? #
• awake! and out the door! #
• I just realized that I’m paying $20 to park today, goddamn baseball game! #
• I guess that’s what they mean when they say that stadiums bring economic development to the city #

• @hpbatman7 what camera did you get? #
• @hpbatman7 never mind went back a few tweets to your link–HOLY COW THATS A GREAT CAMERA!! I have the slightly older model #
• Awake!!! I rolled out of bed and started editing video because I was dreaming about it last night–I am a sick, sick man, #
• oooooohhh it’s nice out today! #
• I heard the pope is on the loose in the states!! Hide your kids! #
• @Mamalogues post a video of you using it! #
• @RonLandreth I know that guy. I work with him at SLU #
• WTF is up with all the web celebs saying they bought a certain book today? I do believe I am being twitter spamed. ASSHOLES! #
• @Skewgee no video card in the MacBook. Graphics share the main processor. Thats why FCP won’t run on a MacBook #

• Looking for things to do while I wait to see if my taxes finish themselves, hmm off to google reader … #
• Taxed done! But they didn’t do themselves, unfortunately. Getting back a tiny bit from the Feds, owe the state some-better than I thought #
• @rickrey I remember that very well. That was the only good thing about the early Tracy Ulman Show–ahh the early days of Fox … #
• Word! The Evening Whirl been gettin’ some props yo! http://tinyurl.com/6p6k34 #

• my taxes are mostly done. Didn’t do too bad. Could be better if I could find a couple more receipts #
• @MitchellSTL thats cool but I live in the city. Why do county people get an extra month? #
• have to pay municiple income tax too, don’t really mind since it doesn’t amount to much. But I think there are better revenue sources #
• online tax prep rules! How did people do it before? Pencil lead gives me hives. Plus I can barely write longhand anymore #
• BTW on the Drobo front, good news! They gave me a refund! CEO saw my blog post about it. Will blog the whole story soon. #
• please don’t be offended that I ignored your facebook app request, I ignore them all. They all suck. #
• I think app requests makes facebook worse than myspace– very spammy #
• and to think that there are people building businesses around their facebook apps–poor stupid bastards #
• @kopper I don’t think thats the main reason people don’t use trains anymore. #
• @kopper I think that a first effect of lower usage more than a cause– and lower funding, vicious circle #
• I don’t know how the word "first" got into that last tweet, stupid iPhone #
• @kopper I’m not sure if no megabus service is a blessing or a curse–from what I hear they regularly violate human rights treaties #

• I don’t think Bush should boycott the Olympics, not like he has the moral high ground that it would mean anything anyway. #
• I mean what does it mean when a human rights abuser protests human rights abuse? Thats kind of a sick joke. #
• @DavidHowell @scobelizer is wrong a lot, but that never stops him. Loves to hear himself blab #
• @DavidHowell yes I do my own flv’s. one of the problems with most server side conversion is recompression-of your already compressed file #
• @irinaslutsky you got married? what a terrible way to spend your honeymoon #
• @irinaslutsky JK probably not a virus, probably some kind of food borne illness, which is most often the case with those things #
• kinda like when people say they have "stomach flu" ain’t no such thing, influenza is a upper respiratory illness, usually food poisoning #
• @irinaslutsky maybe it’s that thing that those people on that cruise ship had a couple of years ago, Norovirus I think #
• @irinaslutsky whatever it is, that sucks, hope you feel better #
• @Mamalogues true, and then there are the parts where people solo jerk #
• @Scobleizer make sure you tell them that Rocky does all the work to make them good #

• awake, but it’s not really my preferred state right now #
• at some point I passed 600 followers. A good chunk of them I suspect are spammers-people who follow a lot more people than follow them back #
• It’s getting worse too, sometimes I get at least three new spam followers a day. #
• There must be some twitter hack out there that allows you to add a ton of random people at once. #
• Why do people think that that will get them anything, why do they have to trash up the place like that? #
• I mean if you just want to follow EVERYBODY then just follow the public timeline #
• I guess you can never underestimate the stupid tenacity of get rich quick schemers #
• @tom_streeter you’re probably right, but then again you are a Streeter so that goes without saying ;) #
• STL is getting soaked again! Flash flood watch! River rising fast! #

• Wow Flickr is a bit late to the party with the video stuff. Welcome to 2005, fellas! #
• BTW the first time I discovered YouTube was by doing a search for "flickr for video" in early 2005. #
• @Zadi YAY! Thats soo cool! #
• @hpbatman7 can I see the new site? #
• You know what weirds me out? When someone new follows me and they are only following like 4 famous people and then … me. #
• It’s like one of these things doesn’t belong with the others. #
• @DavidHowell I’m famous to my dogs, they think I’m a rock star. #
• new video at LO-FI SAINT LOUIS: http://lofistl.com/2008/04/08/221-gonn/ #
• @kopper sorry it’s up now. I still had one format to upload and I had my class tonight so sorry you had to wait. #
• @DavidHowell my dogs don’t twitter, they bark. A lot. #
• is musiciansfriend.com a reputable retailer? #
• @mikehyb yes except with a 90 second limit #

• I am getting ready to publish one of the longest episodes of Lo-Fi Saint Louis evah! Clocks in at 15 min and 1 sec. #
• @hpbatman7 why yes I am. #
• I’ve found myself renting a few movies from iTunes lately. Pretty convenient, I just wish they had a better selection #
• I also wish the Netflix "play now" wasn’t tied into Windows DRM. I own several computers and not one of them runs Windows. #
• I could run Windows on my Mac Mini, but paying that much for a Win. lic. just so I can watch Netflix in demand doesn’t seem like a good deal #
• DRM just blows, thats all there is to it. #
• @velo_city interesting, I wonder if the city has something similar, I don’t supose a city res can get a county card? #
• checking out http://pitchfork.tv before I head off to work. Pretty nice site. The videos look and sound great! #
• @Tojosan you can start by getting me a cup of coffee the wait for further instructions. #
• @velo_city looked into library online videos, they require Windows DRM too!! DOH!!!! #
