In a paper due out this year in the journal Emotion, Mr. Kraus and his co-authors, Cassy Huang and Dr. Keltner, report that with a few exceptions, good teams tended to be touchier than bad ones. The most touch-bonded teams were the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers, currently two of the league’s top teams; at the bottom were the mediocre Sacramento Kings and Charlotte Bobcats. The same was true, more or less, for players. The touchiest player was Kevin Garnett, the Celtics’ star big man, followed by star forwards Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors and Carlos Boozer of the Utah Jazz. “Within 600 milliseconds of shooting a free throw, Garnett has reached out and touched four guys,” Dr. Keltner said.

This just in: touching is good

Buy stuff from my house (or at least give your friends the opportunity to do so)

I’m selling a bunch of stuff from my apartment and you should buy it. If you don’t want to buy it retweet so someone else might have the opportunity to do so.

Kitchen table and chairs (Very nice)

Old CRT TV (old, but still works. great 2nd tv for bedroom!)

TV stand (old, nothing fancy, good storage for DVDs/DVD player/DVR)

Thanks ladies and gentlemen!

Readability - An Arc90 Lab Experiment →

This is a fantastic project. Readability, by Arc90, isolates the content on a web page allowing easy readability on poorly designed sites. You can even customize the “new” appearance of content.

I found this via Zeldman and he covers the reasons why this is so useful not only for desktop browsing but for mobile as well.

Great to see things of quality such as this being released.

Very excited to get a Dos Caminos in the West Village. They are opening in April according to the signs in the windows.

How to Find Really Old Tweets

Twitter used to have a paginated URL setup for viewing old tweets. The new “more” button that loads updates in-line is fine but what happens if you want to go way back to an even older tweet?

You used to be able to find it through Twitter advanced search by specifying the user (you) and searching for keywords or within time frames. Doing that now shows that even Twitter search doesn’t go back farther than a week or two.

Are your old tweets dead? Not dead, but buried. Using the following mobile URL structure you can go back in time:

http://twitter.com/account/profile.mobile?page=152&user=jmdickinson

Just replace “jmdickinson” with your username. It’s not precise but if you go to a random page you get an idea of where you are in history so you can increase/decrease to eventually find what you want.

This sucks. Why can’t I just page through all my old tweets? I bet they’re accessible via the API, why not the twitter site?

Thanks Twitter peeps!
