How not to disagree with someone

This is appalling.

I’ve certainly taken jokes too far, poked fun at people, played dirty while arguing, thrown elbows, given low blows, picked low-hanging fruit, made ad hominem attacks, and gone there. But that? That’s broken. You don’t have to agree with Kathy Sierra — you don’t even have to like her — but by God you will treat her with the same respect you treat any other person in this world.

sfearthquakes = Twitter + Earthquakes

So, we’ve had some earthquakes in the SF Bay Area recently. Nothing big, but certainly big enough to prompt hundreds of Twitter users to chip in about the last earthquake.

So what did I do?

I went and wrote a Twitter bot to scrape the USGS website and post the results to Twitter.

Voila: sfearthquakes.

The best part? It’s hosted in Texas, so when the big one hits, it’ll still be able to chip in.
