    Dave,
    Wow. I'd love to learn more about the 40-Twits project. I'm fairly prolific and enjoy both tech and a smidgen of politics. Mostly tech. In any case, it you've got some interesting things you share. Was just reading your page with stats about click through. I'd love to see the same for myself.

    Good job on your continued adventures in life, on line and off.

    @johnsumser Reasonably prolific, interested. I am Nichier than tech / politics, focusing on HR - workforce - HRTechnology - social media.

    Make one for Jay Rosen - he is the most useful Twitterer ever.
  • dave · 8 months ago
    Good idea. I'll get on it tomorrow.

    Because it has all happened before.

    The Cylons were created, they had a war, humanity fights for survival, humanity survives just barely to restart from the beginning, the Cylons go off to their own new place, everybody forgets everything, even the Cylons, leaving everything in prophecy, mankind (re)creates the Cylons, which then join up with the previous Cylons and the whole thing repeats. You did notice that the old Cylons looked like the 80's BSG Cylons and not the '00 Cylons.

    Ron Moore has said in his podcasts that he had the idea to use All Along the Watchtower in a story back when he was writing for Star Trek. He put it in the BSG show "bible" he wrote before the series began writing.

    Did you close down smallpicture to do this? Did I somehow lose the feed? What I out of 'town' when all of this was happening?

    So, given the BSG timeline... does that make Bob Dylan a plagiarist? Or does it make him God?
  • dave · 8 months ago
    Neither -- he just tapped into the flow of the universe.
