Leo's Twitter Updates for 2008-03-08

• I'm going to use KGO's studios for the radio show this weekend and AT&T promises the ISDN will be back on by Monday. #
• San Francisco is oddly quiet tonight. #
• @TechCrunch That's ok - you and I can talk endlessly and meaninglessly about the weather in NorCal. Got any good breakfast recommendations? #
• At the KGO studios and everything checks out. The radio show is saved. I will stream live at http://twit.tv/live while the battery lasts. #

• @MeWhOeLsE I'm not sure what Rev3 would bring to the table. I prefer to do this out of my own studio in my own way. I will have help, though #
• @MediaRight We shot our last shows 2/29. That's usual - no one wants a maudlin farewell show. They have enough in the can to go through May. #
• @wintr Sorry to tell you this way. Ryan Yewell should be in touch soon to let you down easy. We've booked some guests, but the show is done. #
• My son just got a call from a casting director. He has an audition on Saturday. His sister and mom are now consulting on his hair style. #
• Oh crud. My ISDN just got cut off for non-payment. Seems I've been paying SBC not ATT. Wonder what "SBC" did with the money? #
• Wonder how I'll do the radio show this weekend? By phone? #
• Rooting for Kevin and company. http://snipurl.com/21762 [www_techcrunch_com] #
• Wow - it pays to have Twitter friends. @biggsjm is helping me with ATT get my ISDN back. It's how I do the radio show so crossing my fingers #
• @rockmanac No. If I can't get the ISDN back up I'll have to go into SF and use a radio station, probably KGO if they'll let me. #
• @mercerch ISDN is only 128Kbps but it's point to point with zero latency, so it's predictable. You can do full fidelity audio + return. #
• @zenrhe It doesn't affect the podcasts at all - just the radio show, fortunately. We just use Skype for TWiT. #
• OK now I've paid the ISDN bill three times. I don't really care - I just need it re-connected! #
• @lipbalm It's a download from Google. Install over the air on your Blackberry at http://m.google.com/sync - free and very cool. #
• Just finished doing the Gang with Steve Gillmor. It's a fascinating experience. #
• The brain dead ATT voice mail genie wants me to pay them some more money. I think I'm stuck in a loop. #
• @biggsjm It's ok Josh - unless you were the one who designed the ATT voice mail genie. That wasn't your work was it? ;-) #
• ATT says it will take 10 days to reconnect. This is very very bad. #
• I'll probably have to drive to SF to use a studio - which means Munchcast, Windows Weekly, and TWiT won't get done this week or next. #
• Should have gone to SXSW after all. #
• First my TV show gets cancelled, then ATT disconnects the radio show. I think I'm having a bad week, and I didn't even know it. #
• Wow ATT hold music went from a muzak version of Time After Time to Tuvalan Throat Singers. Must be some strong acid. #

• A question for audio types: I need a portable recorder for Tasmania. Should I stick with my Marantz PDM660 and SM58 or spring for a Zoom H2? #
• @skeemer But I really like the Shure SM58 for field recording. It's directional, built-to-last, sounds good. What do you recommend instead? #
• @pvponline OK Kurtz - I've had it with your begging. Come on net@night next Wednesday at 7:30p Pacific. Bring your pens. #
• Not one of the regulars on MacBreak Weekly was invited to Apple's event tomorrow. Guess we'll have to cover it second hand. #
• @ShawnKing Maybe we do - or maybe Apple screwed up. I prefer the latter. We have 300,000 listeners a month - Macworld has 127,000 readers. #
• @ShawnKing Maybe we do - or maybe Apple screwed up. I prefer the latter. MBW has 300K listeners/month. How many readers does Macworld have? #
• I deny the Leo Effect even though I bought both an Eee PC and MacBook minutes before they were updated. -sigh- #
• The entire 20 volume OED is in the trunk of my car. My wife put it in the garage and I couldn't take it. I'll put it in the new office Tues. #
• I bit the bullet and bought the pricier, but better sounding and looking, HHB Flashmic. http://www.hhb.co.uk/flashmic/ I'll let you know. #
• TWOTD: sesquipedalian as in " @Ihnatko's sesquipedalian leanings were moderated by his fondness for comic book themes." #
• Patrick Wilson of Weezer is going to join us on MacBreak Weekly the week after Easter. #
• Wow. Spore on the iPhone. I think I'm going to have to take mine back from Dane. #
• "It's called the App Store -- and we're putting it on every single iPhone on the next release of the software." via Engadget #
• iPhone update 2.0 available in June. SDK available now. Get to work developers, you have three months. #
• Everything will run on the iPod touch, as well, including enterprise features. There will be a "nominal charge" for the touch. via Engadget. #
• Rogers just cancelled The Lab - reruns will continue until the end of the decade. I'll be ramping up video production from TWiT now. #
• @krashcoarse Alas, Australia cancelled us a few weeks ago. You'll see the last shows soon. That was one of the factors in dropping the show. #
• @jonathandavies More time for TWiT!! And more video. I plan to do a similar, less structured, show live (and podcast) from the TWiT cottage. #
• @mattpippen It's not a bad thing (well, except for the loss of a paycheck). It gives me the time - and incentive - to do more video online. #

• @CaliLewis All I can say, Cali, is, there will be blood. #
• @blackfeathers I DRINK your milkshake! I drink it UP! #
• Why are 75% of senior citizens in Ohio voting for Clinton? Are they feminists or racists? Or is there some elderly issue that HRC is big on? #
• "Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002." HRC(!) http://xrl.us/bg62f #
• Is Google Analytics violating my users' privacy? Should I turn it off? #
• Is 7777 followers lucky? When Scoble passed 11111 did he crap out? #

• Just got this press release: CRADLE OF ROME: GIVE FREE RAIN TO YOUR INNER EMPEROR. Wonder if it's a weather sim? #
• @mrjennings I know Orson Scott Card's personal views are anathema, but if we avoided authors we disagreed with, what would we read? #
• @chrisbrogan And Steve's asking me to appear on the Gang. Would you prefer not to have us do that? Is it better to keep the shows separate? #
• @cafeninja @mkapor used some Twitter tool that scanned for his name, I think. Is there a complete list of Twitter tools somewhere? #
• @wmandra Thanks. TWiT 134 is being greeted with equal amounts of love and hate. I like to defy expectations from time to time. #
• @msauers Card is a homophobe (and a neanderthal reactionary, too) but libraries should not ban books based on the author's beliefs. Period. #
• @whitepony02027 Recording MacBreak Weekly right now with Scott, Merlin, Andy, and Alex. We'll push it out soon. Sorry for the hiatus! #
• @jayhmt I completely agree - two's too few, five's too many on a roundtable show. I sometimes get overbooked but not intentionally. #
• A beautiful spring day in Petaluma - time to put up the spring decorations on http://leoville.com #
