• Abby missed her appointment, so she has to wait another month to take her driver's test. Aw shucks. #
• Do you think Barack Obama looks at Twitterholic and thinks, "dang that Laporte is gaining on me? " #
• Congratulations to @kevinrose for winning the Webby's People's Voice Award for Digg in "Best Practices." Otherwise it's a sorry list. #
• I hope Yang doesn't cave to angry shareholders. Yahoo needs to be independent to protect pipes, YUI, etc. Microsoft won't be a good steward. #
• For example: http://xefer.com/twitter/leolaporte - a Yahoo Pipes/Google Charts mashup showing Twitter stats. Web ecosystem > Microsoft. #
• Hey - I just noticed that six of the top seven Twitterers are TWiTs. How's that for trademark confusion? http://twitdir.com/top/topfollowed #
• Want to know what's going on inside the teen brain? Ask someone who is still young enough to remember: @vvanpetten #
• For TWiT Live broadcast updates follow @twitlive - I won't spam this account with announcements. #
• @JasonCalacanis There is some rationale for Moeller's deletion at Wikipedia. Read the discussion: http://en.wikipedia.org/ #
• Sorry - here's the direct link to the Moller discussion on Wikipedia: http://snurl.com/27et1 #
• @hotdogsladies I grew up watching @soupysales. His show is, in many ways, the inspiration for @TWiTLive. Whoever's doing this has him cold. #
• @AndrewMayer I think @soupysales IS still alive at 82 - but on Twitter? Hmmm. Dick DeBartolo knows him. I'll ask Dick. #
• Mad Magazine's Maddest Writer, Dick DeBartolo, is now on Twitter, too: @thegizwiz - he says he thinks Soupy Sales is ill and not @soupysales #
• Ding. #

• Best part of last night's TWiT: @jasoncalacanis says he might buy a second Tesla to use while the first one is charging. #
• @neerav I've fixed the TWiT dial-up feed, and yes @duck1123 - there's been some database corruption at TWiT.tv. Working on it. Thanks! #
• @twitdir - you're missing the #3 Twitterer: @kevinrose - he's coming on strong! #
• Call me crazy but wouldn't this be an excellent time to buy YHOO stock? Especially if you think Microsoft will be back. #
• Disclaimer: I own no tech stocks and have no plans to buy any so as to avoid any conflict of interest. (But it's fun to speculate.) #
• @popey There are two lists: http://twitterholic.com - which updates a few times a day and http://twitdir.com - which updates when you hit it #
• Don't ask me how I know this. #
• @gheydon has just saved TWiT.tv (and given me a reprieve from my bad backup habits). If you need a good Drupal guy Twitter @gheydon! #
• Wha?? I got to the final's in TV Week's "Hottest Male Web Host." Vote your heart. (As long as Martin doesn't win.) http://snipurl.com/277z2 #
• @abbylaporte is taking her driver's test today. Again. #

• My daughter borrowed my light reflector and lost the bag that holds it. Now it looks like I have a little pop-up trampoline next to my bed. #
• InTheMo wants to interview me. Anyone know who they are? HQ is on a studio lot in Culver City. Looks like they've got serious capital. #
• @ifelix I'm not looking for a job. Ever again. #

• A quick note to anyone in the Bay Area. It's no Maker Faire but I'll be speaking at KGO Live at 3p today in SF. Free at http://kgoam810.com #
• I'll also attempt to stream it (EVDO willing) at http://twitlive.tv #
