@carrieatthill do it! Make one promise to yourself just for today, and keep it. #ktco

@codyks as I occasionally desire to express more complex concepts, I prefer the convenience of utilizing a keyboard. (maximum verbosity.)

@codyks I think it will make a big difference. It speeds up my typing a bunch to get away from the on-screen keyboard.

@RichardPosey long ago, I had a folding keyboard for a different gadget, so I knew I was likely to like this one.

@RichardPosey I see a lot of people with the keyboard/case.

@codyks yes, the Verbatim folding keyboard. The first one was defective, but the replacement is good so far.

@osuboiler It's a Verbatim keyboard. The first one I got was defective, but the replacement is good so far.

The Little Red Hen. A classic story retold brilliantly by Malik Yakini of Detroit, for community food networks. #balle2012

A quick summary of building a local business network: #balle2012

If your community has a shop local program, that's a starting point for a more meaningful BALLE network. #balle2012

Local BALLE networks frequently reach out to local food producers, partner with farmers markets, etc. #balle2012

Local BALLE networks can offer businesses promotion, networking, support. #balle2012

And few local business networks in BALLE are also Chambers of Commerce. #balle2012

@superdumb @patsyterrell @jiggyjaguar @codyks #smalltown2012 #140conf I'm not that organized!

@patsyterrell @jiggyjaguar @codyks @superdumb I'm hoping to do a number of meetups, in lots of locations. #140conf #smalltown2012

@DaveQuinn247 #140conf you should be there!

WOW! "A year ago, the #140conf small town opened a new world to me." Call for speakers is open:

@carrieatthill @RunnerBliss the London #140conf was amazing! You could join us for the #smalltown2012 140 on Nov 8
