Found a papercraft template of the Tardis online, I blew it up about 20% larger, printed and assembled it so that my good doctor could have an appropriate backdrop.

I got this off an ebay auction for 99c. Less than $5 with shipping, and it was sent directly by a guy in Great Britain too, so, bonus authenticity.

Interesting so far. Definitely entertaining to fiddle with in meetings.

I'm sure we'll be fine, whenever people are staring up at something in a crowd in a comic, nothing bad happens right?

Nice figure, lots of accessories that would work well with a Blue Lantern too.

Nice figure, works well in the DC Classics scale since she looks even more like a teen with the DC Direct Figures.

I just noticed this today as well (normally use Twitterrific and not the site. First thing i noticed is the activity stream is a garbled mess of mostly uninteresting things. Secondly It brings to the surface some things that were previously semi-private such as when you\'re added to lists. I use lists extensively and I\'m not really keen on that being out there.
That being said, the tab isn\'t very interesting to look at and I\'m pretty sure folks won\'t use it that much. It\'s essentially a ripoff of Facebook\'s new secondary activity feed (which I also don\'t find useful). At least it\'s not on the main page.

Apparently Twitter launched this back in August, and it\'s only recently hit alot of people in their main top tab nav. Sigh.

I know I\'m about a week late on reading this, but, good god man that is spot on. I wonder how long it will take for that idea to catch on? Or if it even does?

That tree at work is dead/dying. I think it will be completely dead in another year or 2 and they will pull it out. Mark my words!!!!! :)

I think there is something there in the movie theater idea, but I agree the actual theater part would not work due to asynchronicity. However, a marketing tactic of offering someone a free movie download from itunes that could only be used during the layover window might have some value of smoothing over the delay. Of course, many people plan for expected layovers with their own media already, but for an unexpected layover, it could be a nice consolation prize.
A couple years ago someone did try to make an app for video to bring back some of the synchronicity, I don\'t remember who though. The premise was, if you watched the video and made comments during the video, the time stamp of the video would be included in your comment, so while watching the video, you\'d then see other people\'s \"real time\" comments (which even if made during different days) synced up with the position you were at in the video. Not sure it went anywhere as I can\'t recall hearing any more about it. Still presents the same sort of spoiler problems too, since there\'s nothing to say that you are watching the video for the first time in that player.

In regards to asynchronicity, I saw someone (who I very much respect intellectually) post yesterday on Twitter that they wished that aiports had movie theaters, so people with major layovers could catch a new release. On the surface it sounds like a great idea but asynchronicity is it\'s undoing. I think one of the reasons sporting events and major network shows do so well on Twitter is exactly because of synchronicity....doing what you suggest with Doctor Who becomes essentially a \"book club\" with a forced artificial schedule. I don\'t really see some way around the problem unless someone with some authority (such as Oprah, or a network doing a rerun series) enforces some synchronicity.
Sounds like a market opportunity to me...someone will make an app.

You got the rings, but did you get the power battery? They\'re useless without the power battery. :)

Hi Chris,
Interesting discussion of culture and Twitter/Facebook. Cultural Anthropology was our template for working with couples in counseling (his culture conflicting with her culture) - so this is why your post caught my attention. Other blog postings on this subject?
Thanks for \"following\" us on Twitter.
