Highlights from this week’s 37signals staff posts at Twitter.

Jason Fried @jasonfried: There’s a two-week-or-less version of just about everything.

Matt Linderman @mattlinderman: Love the photog of Olivo Barbieri. Shots of his site specific_NEW YORK CITY 07 here: http://bit.ly/ddiWFu

Jamis Buck @jamis: gah, another email announcing a “webinar”. That word just gives me the creeps.

Jason Zimdars @JZ: “Without great solitude no serious work is possible.” — Pablo Picasso

Ryan Singer @rjs: NPR guests are so frequently “struck by” things that they should start wearing helmets and armor inside the studio.

Jason Fried @jasonfried: Register early for BIF-6. The BIF conference series is one of the best I’ve ever attended: http://bit.ly/b2kcU6

Kiran Max Weber @kiranmaxweber: Check out Episode #29 of Core Intuition with @danielpunkass and @manton – more talk about handling support email. http://ow.ly/1PS49

Jason Fried @jasonfried: With every call being recorded for quality assurance purposes you’d think call center quality would be improving.

DHH @dhh: There’s something uniquely calming about shredding stuff. Paper be gone!

uptonic @uptonic: New saddle has titanium rails and carbon undersides, but carries an “enthusiast” label. Man, cycling is serious these days.

Jason Fried @jasonfried: “Easy” is a word that’s used to describe other people’s jobs.

Ryan Singer @rjs: The Financial Times’ iPhone app is also extremely well executed. FT makes NYT’s well-known apps look clunky and overdone.

Jamis Buck @jamis: My 8yo: “Really? They speak English in Canada? I didn’t even know people lived there!” Sorry, neighbors!

Joshua Sierles @jsierles: Lacking the tools to cleanse your soul? Clean house. Give stuff away. On its way out, remind yourself why you didnt need most of that stuff.

asianmack @asianmack: Some friends say there is no subculture anymore. Internet killed them. That’s so untrue. Just too old to know what these new kids are up to.

Ryan Singer @rjs: I’m gonna wear out the Kindle’s highlight function on Sowell’s “Conflict of Visions.”

Have you guys noticed that the mentions in these tweets (i.e. @danielpunkass) link to 37signals.com/... instead of twitter.com/...?

ML 28 May 10

Thanks for catching that DR. Fixed.

Jason’s BIF conference link isn’t working.

You should just be a little less marketing-oriented in your tweets…when the marketing is so obvious, the result is quite ridiculous…

@Baku you must be reading something completely different than I am…what is so “marketing-oriented” about these tweets?

@DR

Mmmm I don’t know, it’s something like “I don’t have really something interesting to say, but I have to fill these tweets”: I would like more the old 37’s way “I say something when I have to say something”...at a certain point, you finish the things you have in your basket, because they have been accumulated in a lifetime.

And, I think, they have started to suffer of Confirmation Bias, towards their ideas: they think all their ideas are good because they are making money…but that’s a quite wrong point of view.
