2 Big News items at @learnwithbamboo! 1) We just released the new Bamboo Learning Web App, the first voice- & touch-based web app (works on Chromebooks, Macs, PCs, Android & Surface tablets) that actually understands students' answers. 2) We've promoted @ifine_nyc to CEO!

Got rolled up pair of socks from drawer. Put left one down, and right one on. 100% sure! Couldn't find left one?! Found it (by itself) in the sock drawer. Evidence of:
a) we are living in a (buggy) simulation
b) quantum mechanical tunnelling
c) a and b are the same thing

I love watching @chicagobulls basketball from Seattle, BUT the @NBALPSupport app on @amazonfiretv is super buggy. It’s next to impossible to get the @chicagobulls home feed with @Stacey21King b/c the app’s stream controls don’t work well. #gimmethehotsauce (& the Bulls feed)!
