Leo's Twitter Updates for 2008-05-27

• @newmediajim It's extremely hard to charge for something that has been free. In my opinion, for-pay Twitter is a non-starter. #
• @ev, if it's people like me, with large follower numbers, that are breaking Twitter, I will willingly withdraw. #
• @newmediajim It might work for Twitter to offer additional services for the money (ala Flickr). But charging for better uptime? won't work. #
• And anyway I don't think money is the issue. Twitter's problems seem more structural than caused by bandwidth/server constraints. #
• @newmediajim I signed up for Twitter in December 2006 (yes, 2006) but closed my first account last year with a then huge 5,000 followers. #
• @newmediajim Aren't Twitterers loyal to the community, not the platform? If the community gets fed up and leaves, it's over, neh? #
• @1938media Does this mean I'm immunized from a Leo puppet? Wouldn't be hard to parody me, I think. #

• I just can't bring myself to throw out a 160GB drive, even though it's not really good for anything. #
• @sdfx It came _out_ of a Drobo. I put 500GB drives in. Soon it will be 1TB drives! #
• 40 hot dogs, 2 tri-tips, ribs for 20, 40 tamales, 5 gal pina coladas, 5 gal lemonade, 1 small keg, 20 btls of wine. God bless America. #
• Oh, and 160 lbs of ice, a sno-cone machine, and one American flag. #

• Abby and her date are off to the senior prom. He was wearing a Zoot Suit. She was in a green gown with a silk scarf from @valeriekhoo. #
• @barrybrown I own both. The Mackie Onyx is more flexible because it has AUX channels (mix-minus for Skype). I use the MOTU for field record. #
• I'm heading to Sausalito to see @rozsavage off. She leaves at midnight to try to become the first woman to row solo across the Pacific. #
• Roz just rowed out under the Golden Gate Bridge at midnight. Next stop: Hawaii. Follow her @rozsavage. It's truly inspiring. #
• @RozSavage is attempting a solo row of the Pacific. She will podcast and Twitter her progress via sat phone. We'll talk Tuesday on TWiT. #
• @pjakobs Toughest is getting to sea. She got caught in the eddies around the GG Bridge. Took 8 attempts to get through but she made it! #
• @erazmus I have three interviews with her which I will podcast, then we'll talk with her 3x a week via sat phone until she arrives. #
• @TechNTools I told you guys Jaiku was better! It's Twitter + Brightkite + Friendfeed and running on Google servers. If only you'd listened! #
• @OceanDoctor Yes - Roz has a satellite phone which can send SMS messages mid-ocean. I think she's got someone posting them as tweets, tho. #
• @pjakobs That's why she left at midnight - to catch the ebb tide. But the currents eddying around the GG Bridge are very intense. #
• Woo hoo! Well done @MarsPhoenix! #

• Looks like Roz might leave Sunday between 3-7a from under the Golden Gate Bridge. She's rowing solo across the Pacific. Follow @rozsavage #
• We're doing a podcast with Roz as she rows across the Pacific. She'll be calling in via sat phone twice a week. http://rozsavage.com #

• @WillBar Yes, but where's the water coming from? Your cold glass is cooling the warm air around it and causing water to condense from air. #
• @thesupermikey I use the Qstarz BT-Q1000 GPS dongle. On the Mac use BT747 to import the data and HoudahGeo to geotag photos. I'll do a demo #
• @vector_kyle Henry would rather skate than program. Daddy didn't raise no geeks. I think I've created a few in other ways, though. #
• @ShaunMiddleton The Tricaster supports six video and three computer inputs. Wirecast is cool, but much more limited. I need more power! #
• @drandolph Thanks for helping @digitalkitty with the crimping. We've got gigbit everywhere now. Come up and see us when you return! #
• Internet pioneer Brewster Kahle is on TWiT Monday to talk how he went public and got the FBI to back off the Internet Archive. #
• @gheydon HoudahGeo geotags RAW and reads iPhoto, Aperture, and Lightroom catalogs. Geophoto is good, too and prettier. I use both. #
• @Scobleizer Gigabit's in my office. We've also got a PS3 and Rock Band. Stop by and I'll put you on camera. (That should seal the deal.) #
• @ScottJOnofrio Best way to find out what apps I use is to follow my Wakoopa feed: http://wakoopa.com/chieftwit - Windows and Mac apps #
• Off to do my weekly KFI blab (Netflix Player) then Auntie Dawn arrives to get her Windows machine disinfected. Microsoft owes me another day #
• Auntie Dawn's PC was an easy fix. HP has a pretty decent recovery tool that preserves apps and data. #
