Leo's Twitter Updates for 2008-03-18

  • @ThePicMan I'm also bringing my Canon 5D with the 24-105L, 50 1.4L, 70-200L, and the 185MacroL. The Pentax is just for comparison purposes. #
  • US$30 Billion for JP Morgan to buy Bear Stearns for 7¢ on the dollar but not a penny more for people losing their homes in foreclosure. Nice #
  • Great to see Erica Hill on CNN with Soledad O'Brien on AC360. I worked with both of them in their early days. Hope they don't compare notes. #
  • Twinings Irish Breakfast Tea and Calvin Trillin's article on the Rickshaw Drivers of Calcutta in Natl Geo - the sun never sets etc. etc. #
  • @ScottBourne What about the Mercedes E320 Bluetec? Great fuel economy and only 74.28 Alexes. #
  • TWOTD: solipsistic, @gapingvoid wondered whether it was more solipsistic to talk about Alpine Texas or one's Twitter followers. Yes. #

Leo's Twitter Updates for 2008-03-17

  • We'll be catching up on the Tech Guy podcasts this week. 435 should go out today - glitch included. Sorry for the delay. #
  • Wish I could filter out all the @ tweets. They tend to be useless sentence fragments and non-sequiturs. That would be a nice Twhirl feature. #
  • @RickMacMerc Apparently my evil scheme is working. I get everyone else to handle my email so I don't have to. Mwahahahahah. #
  • I guess my real problem is people who use Twitter like IM. Remember others read your Tweets, so pls include context when you post an @ reply #
  • @jdickerson New rumor - O'bama's not muslim, he's an Irish catholic! #
  • @aakelley I agree - I often add people after seeing them in an @ reply. #
  • Always loved Evernote on Windows. Now there's a Mac client and web syncing is in beta. This is one to watch. http://evernote.com #
  • Time to buff the drool marks off the Macbook Air and ship it back to Apple. #
  • Ah yes. Selecting "no @ replies" does seem to filter them out of clients like Twhirl as well as SMS. Just not the web page. #
  • Ah well - I guess I'm just an old timer. <gabbyhayes>I remember Twitter before @</gabbyhayes>. I think of it as a broadcast ... #
  • Comcast charges a lot for business service. 8Mb/1Mb with CNN is $130/month. Of course T1 is $260. Getting both for upstreaming video & Skype #
  • Beats putting in a TV transmitter and tower, though. #
  • Just got my Lowepro camera bags for the trip. I'm starting to get excited! Looks like I might have a review Pentax K20D to take along, too. #
  • OK I admit it. I'm a slave to the nightly Webkit builds. http://webkit.org #

  • Disentangled and rewrapped everything in my wire drawer. 10 orphan cell & 20 USB power cords. Still can't find the thing I was looking for. #
  • @themacmommy Either it's spring cleaning or I'm about to have a baby. #
  • I'm testing the capacity of stickam right now. Help me break it by visiting http://twit.tv/live - we'll stream TWiT live there at 3p Pacific #

  • @calacanis - Sure, just when I'm catching up with you, you do a Macbook Air giveaway to _buy_ more followers. You rich guys are all alike. #

  • @hrheingold Camtasia is a weak second to the amazing Screenflow for the Mac. It's the best screencasting app ever. http://varasoftware.com #
  • I just ordered a massive desk for the new office. A u-shape big enough for mixer, Zephyr, 31" monitor, 24" monitor, and two laptops. And me. #
  • All done recording commercials. Now I just have to get chewed out for telling tales out of school, and then I can go work out. #
  • Nothing from Apple about my iPhone developer status yet. Does that mean there's still hope? #
  • "As this time the iPhone Developer Program is available to a limited number of developers and we plan to expand during the beta period." :-( #
  • Truth is, I would have been mortified to have been accepted after Apple rejected @danielpunkass for the iPhone Dev Program! #
  • The best part of a startup is the planning stage. I am feeling much as I did when we were launching ZDTV. All shiny happy. #
