- @erinsells I've decided Surfer Blood sound like The Shins more than anything else. #
- @erinsells I think there are similarities, but the sound of the band is so different over the whole album, IMO. Diff production too. in reply to erinsells #
- @erinsells So you're right about Surfer Blood track 3 and Vampire Weekend. Guess I'm just another backlashing hipster wannabe. #music #
- Am convinced that my co-editor is so much smarter than I am. #soitgoes #

- @erinsells I haven't applied to anything since December. Am in a bit of a mental rut. #jobmarket #fail in reply to erinsells #
- @loriemerson Isn't it obvious that one close reads #elit by getting #iPad & then zooming in to the text? Srsly, people. It's not that hard. in reply to loriemerson #
- @erinsells I wouldn't say it's a subtext though. It's just in your face much of the time. VW are omnivores. in reply to erinsells #
- @erinsells Will listen to those. But I don't think of VW as surfer rock/pop. Sounds more like world (music) rock/pop. #
- @erinsells I like the new Vampire Weekend more than the first. But I don't really hear the similarities. Examples? in reply to erinsells #
- @nirak Right. And my mom trumps my dad in all things technical. It's a bad rhetorical move, although I still think a nuanced position. in reply to nirak #

- Can I Second Life on the #iPad? #iSnark #
- .@seabright Printed books don't flicker. If they do, you should go to an emergency room. #iPad in reply to seabright #
- Very excited, however, to see Goro Fujita's work (http://bit.ly/cpAvT0) show up in the presentation. #ipad #
- What I want to know is how easy it is to read the #iPad screen. Kindle is great because you escape the flicker. #
- I am about 40 minutes behind on reading the live blogs on the #iPad, but I'm not yet sold on the what and why. #
