Went through the same thing years ago. We weighed all the paperwork submitted and it was just shy of 5 pounds.


Where I live we have 5-6 and they have worked great. The first time through can be interesting. Years later they are just a normal part of the the road. Everything is clearly marked and lanes are painted brightly. The upgraded intersections are very quick to get through now. In the past you could wait six or seven light cycles before getting through. Now you might have one short stop.


Twitter just removed the 140 limit for DMs but users are still restricted by the limit in tweets. Sometimes you need a few more characters to say what needs to be said. Tweetstorms or multi-tweet messages work but can be confusing to users. Multi-part tweets can be lost in the timeline and creates a nightmare with multi-threaded messages or lost context. Prolixy makes mega sized tweets quick, simple and streamlines the interaction with users.


Last year I saw him perform on stage. Halfway through the show a child walked up to the edge of the stage. B.B King stopped in the middle of his riff said hello to the child, smiled big and handed him his pick. The band played on during this exchange and he quickly pulled out another pick and started in again, never losing a beat. Several more kids flocked to the stage and B.B King stopped for each and every one of them and did the same thing. He probably went through 50 picks that night. Although a bit disruptive to a great performance it was touching to see his engagement with kids.


My wife and I saw him play in New Orleans. Half way through the show his guitar strings broke and he stopped to fix it. The band kept playing, though.

A man in the audience stood up and started singing, and doing a very good job at it. The band picked up and followed the man singing, going right on through the song. Once his guitar was fixed, BB King came back in and sang backup for the man in the audience. His interaction with the audience for the entire show, and particularly this case, was amazing.



Do you feel the reverse auction approach left money on the table? I know you got a bit of push back on the price from those looking for a "deal" but you have a potential sale at your top price.


I wouldn't hotlink the logos.


Yeah, that's a pretty rude move...

ET on the Atari 2600, if you played it you would agree.

The other big issue is how hard it is to exchange pesos for dollars. The government is doing all they can to make it nearly impossible for the average Argentinian to avoid the massive devaluation.


It was this line - "On Thursday night, after exchanging texts all day, around 8:00pm local time the girl sent me a picture of her in order to convince me to meet her at an event she was going to."

Find the event Thursday night at 8:00pm in Austin and start tracking down from there.


Without spending too much time on this, I thought of the same as well and knowing that:

Her dress, which was very unique had never been worn by her, because she bought it the day before

...should narrow down the events that this person wanted to attend. Here are the events that happened that day:

...which, to me, only had one really unique event that evening:

http://www.facebook.com/events/1405498132998020

...which, possibly, would include a picture of that person either in the same outfit or include a profile picture of that person commenting or liking the event.

But this is just a guess...


Your facebook link contains a list of 73 persons going to the event, so maybe one of them had a picture that matched the one the team had of the girl...
