  • Bumper sticker: Bark less, wag more. #
  • @irinaslutsky Loved http://www.techcabconfessions.com. What a great idea! Gonna do it again? #
  • Hmm. Cachefly seems to be having trouble with its Florida servers. People living in the area can't download MacBreak Weekly 79 and 80. #

Leo's Twitter Updates for 2008-03-12

  • The WSJ's glee over Spitzer is palpable. Federal wiretaps and his bank busted him. He made some powerful enemies. Where's that story? #
  • O this HHB FlashMic is sweet. Expensive ($845 at BSW) but the quality and form factor are superior to any other portable recording solution. #
  • I also bought a Zoom H2 as a backup room recorder. I hate to have only one recording of any important interview. I'll bring both to Tassie. #
  • @mollywood Dang you Molly - now I need to make a Peet's run! #
  • @GlennF Twitter bug in FF 3b4 (at least): when someone screams in anguish and forgets word or line breaks, Twitter stops wrapping. properly. #
  • Safari, too. #
  • @atariboy Yes indeed. I'll be doing the radio show from Hobart April 6 and 7. Come over and be on the show - I'd love to talk about Plasq! #
  • @Rmediavilla I have licenses for both ecto and Mars Edit, but I use Mars Edit pretty much exclusively to post to my blog. Highly recommended #
  • @djmayhem I bought Ecto but @danielpunkass gave me a license for MarsEdit before I could buy it! I like to support the Indy Mac devs with $. #
  • @adamengst Cauliflower is even better with the same recipe - the florettes don't burn as easily, and it looks like roasted brains. #
  • Randal and I are interviewing Ward Cunningham, inventor of the wiki and extreme programming, for FLOSS Weekly. Trying not to gush. #

  • I think I'll have the braised rabbit for dinner. I don't think it's the one from our front yard. #
  • @helene1026 Click Start->Run... and enter "msconfig" in and you can tell the OS which crappy applets not to run. Not including Windows. #
  • If the ADM creates a "standard" for podcast advertising am I "required" to adhere to it? Who the hell is the ADM? #
  • @stevegillmor The last thing in the world I'd want to do is to set "standards" for podcasting. On the other hand we do need a ratings std. #
  • Getting ready to speak to radio executives at the Radio Ink conference. Q: Is radio dead? Discuss! #
  • Just paid $3.99 a gallon for premium. Can $4/gallon gas be far off? #

Leo's Twitter Updates for 2008-03-10

  • I shouldn't Twitter while I'm TWiTing. Meant to say: "the conspiracy to take Wikipedia private" on the next.... TWiT. (dramatic sting out) #
  • @penmachine One ISDN channel is working. Should have been more specific with AT&T - I have dual channel ISDN and need both for Premiere. #
  • @ambermacarthur We move into _our_ new studio tomorrow. Interesting synchronicity! #
  • @javieraltman We get lots of international calls on the radio show, from Belgium to Beijing. Use Skype out to dial +1-88-88-ASK LEO. #
  • @ChrisEMaj7 Thanks - Jerry Pournelle's voice was rocky, but he's very insightful and I don't want to leave him out just because he's ill. #
  • @ambermacarthur LeoBer International, with offices on both coasts. How's the T1? #
  • Just had an interesting conversation in Scobleizer's Qik chat during the consumer electronics panel at SXSW. Was that really @sarahcuda? #
  • @bendit The question is, which two TWiT shows are the "core shows." I think it differs for every listener. I don't plan on cutting or adding #
  • I take that back - we are adding a "summer show" covering Roz Savage's attempt to row solo across the Pacific. Launches in May. #
  • Roz has an excellent blog at http://rozsavage.com, but I'm going to work with her on expanding her social networks, including twitter. #
  • Gary Vaynerchuk, Kevin Rose, and David Prager in techcabconfessions.com. They don't know who Justin Hall is. #
  • Kevin Rose just revealed a Digg easter egg. #
  • Thanks for the plug Kevin - http://pownce.com/leolaporte #
  • WLTV FTW Gary! #
