  • The inventor of LSD, Albert Hoffman, died today at the age of 102. Speed may kill, but acid clearly rejeuvenates. #
  • First recordings in the new studio today: MacBreak Weekly at 11:30a Pacific followed by net@night and Giz Wiz. Stream at http://twitlive.tv #

  • Just to make it clear – Audible is still a happy sponsor of all the TWiT shows. I was just joking folks! Still hate Marty tho. ;-) #
  • We’ve got a Spanish language radio station on our phone lines. Saves money on music on hold, anyway. #
  • Pat is amazing. He’s lighting me so well I look like George Clooney. http://litepanels.com – I’m a believer. Wait. That’s Mike Nesmith. #

  • Twitter late night is kind of a swinging place, full of insomniacs, the caffeinated, and Australians. I dig it. #

  • Microsoft cancelled my Xbox Live account while my 360 was in for RROD repairs. Now I can’t reactivate – it gets stuck in a loop. Epic Fail. #
  • I hope Redmond understands why I will never again recommend Xbox. PS3 is looking better and better. That’s what I’ll buy for the TWiT Studio #
  • @arnold says that the RROD and Xbox loop are my fault. Hmm. He must work for Microsoft tech support. It’s always the user’s fault, of course #
  • I created a new Xbox Live account (Hank really wanted to play COD4) but what happens to the 6800 points in the permanently deactivated acct? #
  • Q4U: What’s the best way to stream an audio-only version of TWiT Live? Live365? I like Shoutcast. Other companies to look at? #
  • Hah. I told Brightkite I was at home and it placed me at Leisure Lake Mobile Home Park, Rohnert Park, CA, USA – bug or prophecy? #
  • @Merk thinks it’s "rude" of me to bash MS instead of calling support. Doesn’t crappy service deserve airing? I should be quiet and take it? #
  • I know how to do Shoutcast – I just don’t want to pay for the bandwidth. Sounds like Live385 is a poor choice. Anyone similar out there? #
  • Retweeting @jeffjarvis – Clay Shirky at Web 2.0 – a must read: http://snipurl.com/260z4 – what will you do with your cognitive surplus? #

  • Happy ANZAC Day. Now give me a bikkie! http://snipurl.com/25uos #
  • Just spent the last two hours (2-4a) geotagging my Flickr photos. I think there’s something wrong with me. #
  • Happy Butter and Eggs Day 2008! It’s a beautiful day for a parade! Sunny and 80° (23°C). Come to Petaluma – we’re saving seats for you. #

  • @hametner For shortening URLs I use snipurl.com because of its customization services (free reg req) but xrl.us is shorter. #
  • @worldtechguy Certainly. Use leo@leoville.com with Smugmug.com to save some bux. #
  • @dpedersen Pleasure meeting you via Hank’s cell phone. He did try to get you on TWiT but you have to get in line behind @jasoncalacanis! ;-) #
  • @pazaq I don’t think any photo site does RAW. Our album art cariciatures are by Nitrozac: http://joyoftech.com – she’ll do one for you, too. #
  • OK @scottbourne – that owl picture is amazing! http://www.jpgmag.com/photos/634052 – you have my vote! #
  • I think we’re going to go with the Tricaster Broadcast. Not HD, but then neither is Flash. Seems expensive but lots of bang for the buck. #
  • Is there any way to figure out if all these new Followers are really just spammers? The # seems to be growing way too fast. #
  • What do spammers gain by following people? They can’t actually spam, they’ll get blocked. Do they get some sort of Google juice from it? #
  • @carlo’s http://twerpscan.com is a great idea. Can’t use it myself though – it chokes. #
  • I hate to miss all these interesting conferences (Web 2.0, ROFLCon, NewComm et al.) but I’m too busy actually making content to attend. #
  • The cable modem is getting 22.8 Mbps down and 3.2 Mbps up. That actually is Comcastic. (Never thought I’d say THAT!) #
  • @kevinrose You should sound excellent on TWiT this week! Still got the USB headset? #
  • Daisy Whitney says, "it’s your turn guys." Who’s the hottest male web host? Cast your vote at http://xrl.us/bjtsm (I vote for Merlin). #
  • Lunch with Colleen to solidify plan for world domination. Are there steam punk "lasers?" #
  • @THErealDVORAK We can’t do TWiT live after all. There’s a big antique fair going on Sunday so no parking. We’ll Skype with Norton & Rose. #
  • @THErealDVORAK We should have lights and switcher in place by the second or third week in May. Let’s aim for a live TWiT then. #

  • Capitulating to the Alert Thingy siren song. #
  • My to-do list site, Remember the Milk, has released a Blackberry sync program – sweet. Well done Bob and Cow. http://rmilk.com #

  • If I could send Obama more money I would. #
  • Thanks to @rickmacmerc for the Leoville earth day theme. More to come! #
  • A plug for Angela Drury – Lightroom wizard. She’s doing a workshop this weekend in Berkeley. Highly recommended http://snipurl.com/25e6x #
  • Boy it sure is hard deleting old tweets. Pownce and Jaiku delete them right away. Guess Hank’s phone will be unusable today. #
  • I won’t know the total number of text messages Hank received until I get the bill, but it was in the thousands. He had to turn off the phone #
  • I DDoSed my own son. #

  • I don’t think I should have eaten both the foie gras _and_ the duck’s tongue. I’ve been queasy all day. #
  • Kinda funny the New Communications Forum is 20 minutes away. If you really want to see the future stop by the TWiT Cottage and say hello. #
  • The screws came. Tomorrow live interactive video of @digitalkitty and me assembling my massive desk. New Communications indeed. #
  • Everything seems very bleak at 2am. Even the dog is having a bad dream. It’s Jung’s Hour of the Wolf. Or maybe just low blood sugar. #
  • @dvydra I wish I were in London! But then the jet lag would be even worse. #
  • Twitter must be experiencing explosive growth. My followers have doubled in just one month. Same from Feb to March. #
  • But then @kevinrose has tripled in the same time. At this rate he should be number one in just a few weeks. #
  • @Tales No Audible didn’t drop us! I was just kidding around. Audible renewed a month ago – they’re very happy with netcast ads in general. #
  • SN 141 – talking about RSA and a very cool USB authentication key, http://www.yubico.com, that appears as a keyboard & types your 1x pwd. #

Amber and I interviewed Brad Jefferson of Animoto.com tonight on net@night. It’s a very cool site that auto-generates a video using pretty advanced software and your own pictures and music. During the interview I whipped this up with about three clicks of the mouse.
