    Twoosh Spotter: A Greasemonkey Script 


    EDIT (10/6/2009): Twoosh Spotter is now up to v2.0. I’ve fixed it so that the tweets shown after hitting the “more” button get checked for twooshes, and also fixed a bug where “&” was converted to “& a m p ;” and counted as 4 characters instead of 1.

    I recently came across a new portmanteau on Twitter called a “twoosh” (TWitter swOOSH)!

    Coined by rentzsch, A twoosh is a twitter that hits the 140 character limit exactly on the nose. This is just one of those fun little oddities that people like to play with, but unless the poster follows up their twoosh with another post pointing it out, the twoosh goes unnoticed by all but the equally twoosh endeared… and those with OCD.

    (More …)

    New Joss Whedon Show, WOO! 

    It seems Joss Whedon, the genius behind Firefly and (although I never got into it personally) Buffy.

    His new show, Dollhouse, stars Eliza Dushku, known to fans of Buffy and Angel for her character “Faith”, known to most teenage girls from the movie Bring It On, and known to most boys by word of mouth (^_·) .

    Rather than rehash the explanation of the series, I’ll just quote Fox’s description, which is also quoted at eonline.com:

    Echo (Eliza Dushku) [is] a young woman who is literally everybody’s fantasy. She is one of a group of men and women who can be imprinted with personality packages, including memories, skills, language—even muscle memory—for different assignments. The assignments can be romantic, adventurous, outlandish, uplifting, sexual and/or very illegal. When not imprinted with a personality package, Echo and the others are basically mind-wiped, living like children in a futuristic dorm/lab dubbed the Dollhouse, with no memory of their assignments—or of much else. The show revolves around the childlike Echo’s burgeoning self-awareness, and her desire to know who she was before, a desire that begins to seep into her various imprinted personalities and puts her in danger both in the field and in the closely monitored confines of the Dollhouse.

    It sounds like a really cool concept. Reminiscent of The Clonus Horror/The Island. I’m really excited to start watching. Spread the word so we can keep Fox from killing Joss’ work!
