Twitter To Filter Tweets By Country →
What about false positives? False negatives? Irony? Sarcasm?
You can’t service all of humanity if you allow the needs of politics to triumph over the needs of the people. And if you can’t service all of humanity, what is your relevance?

McDonald’s discovers social media can backfire...
From McDonald’s discovers social media can backfire when people hate you:
See, no matter what some social media guru told you, Twitter is not just a marketing amplification engine. It’s a bunch of people, sharing things they think are worth sharing. Trying to start a McDonald’s appreciation hashtag is like the smelly, creepy kid running a write-in campaign for Prom King — not gonna work, and...

Don't Be Evil
If you like search on the new Google+ as much as I do, you can try this new tweak that makes the new Google+ search look more like the old Google search. MacWorld wrote about it. I have another suggestion, though: switch to another search engine. I switched over to Bing on my phone and on all of my browsers and honestly, I don’t miss Google one bit..
So much for “don’t be...

Question About Sleep Brainwaves
Jessica: Describe the brainwave transitions and typical night sleep. So, basically do brain waves get longer or shorter as we sleep?
Me: For the most part, brainwaves get longer the deeper we get. When you fall asleep, you start in Alpha, also known as the "twilight state". Alpha cycles at about 12 cycles per second. During the next hour, you cross Theta and finally drop into a Delta state which is between 1 and 4 cycles per second. Delta waves are slower (and therefor longer) than Alpha or Theta waves. During REM sleep, you will cycle up to Theta, which engages the visual centers of your brain. At other points of the sleep cycle, you will have Beta sleep spindles which are relatively short waves - they are very fast compared to Delta, Theta or Alpha. So... a typical night of sleep is dynamic and has a wide range of brainwave frequencies, but the dominant frequencies are longer, slower brainwaves.

Update Free Download Page
How did I spend my Saturday? Yeah - working on the free download page of my website at http://higher-music.com/free. I upgraded to a SoundCloud Solo account so I could have unlimited downloads. Then I updated the page and converted everything from those old fashioned text links to an ever so fancy HTML5 audio player with download functions built right in.
Unfortunately Tumblr doesn’t...
