@MasterZap I’m not reneging. I just have to figure out the fairest legal way to give UGM away. Please don’t unfollow anyone on my account! #
@gully666uk I have to get some legal advice on contests. If I can give it away internationally I certainly will. 25% of our audience non-US. #
@RobertBIrish Absolutely not, Robert. I was just getting overcompetitive (which is a problem I have). We’re not going to use Twitter at all. #
@dogsupporter I don’t blame you a bit. I can only say I was drunk and out of control. Everyone follow @kevinrose and unfollow me. Please! #
The new video card fixed my Mac Pro. It’s good as new. Missed ya big fella. (Original Mac Pro: bad ATI X1900 -> new Apple Nvidia 88 … #

@digitalkitty and I went to Costco to get stuff for the studio: batteries, iPods, a 37" Toshiba LCD TV, and one 6-gallon tub of Velveeta. #
@patricknorton Guests of TWiT Live dine at the world-famous Della Fattoria Cafe in downtown Petaluma. Where they stay is their own problem. #
@digitalkitty You think maybe we should build the new ultimate gaming machine on TWiT? Start specing the hardware! #
I’m kind of sad. The 10th Anniversary of the launch of ZDTV was May 11 and I neglected to note it in any way. #
@MicrosoftVista I’ve always bought my rechargeable batteries from Thomas Distributing: http://thomas-distributing.com #
@XPR The new Tricaster is working great - I’m having a blast playing with it, but until the 2.0 software comes out we can’t use it on air. #
I’m going to turn my old Mac mini into a media center with XBMC. Ordered an El Gato EyeTV 250+ to connect cable. What else do I need? #

Took some time today to breathe and think. Cleaned up the studio, wired up the Tricaster, and dusted the Emmy. #
Just so ya know - don’t ask me to promote your Twitter based service if it’s called twit-something. TWiT is my trademark and I’m sensitive. #
Do you ever get so apathetic that even when you read an email that you really should respond to you just go ‘meh!’ That’s me right now. #
NY Times says it tried to contact me for story on Stickam spam, but I have no email or phone msgs. Haven’t checked the homing pigeons tho. #
@infoholic If you’ve been getting Stickam spam read David Gallagher’s article: http://snipurl.com/29949 - I get msgs like that all the time. #
@JTShea If I respond to that my Twitter would be filled with other people begging me to say hi. I don’t negotiate with terrorists. Hi. #
It’s American Graffiti Day in Petaluma. (Some of the movie was filmed here.) Place is full of old cars and Fonzies. Where were you in ‘62? #
I’m live on WJR Detroit with the Internet Advisors, Foster, Ed, and Gary in just a moment. 16:9 video at http://twitlive.tv, too. #

Today was a nightmare technically but very satisfying nevertheless. I think we’re having a problem with power and heat. The Mac Pro died. #
I’m pretty sure it was the X1900 video card in the Mac Pro that bit the dust. Video had been deteriorating for weeks. Ordered an 8800. #
Reading the Tricaster manual and dreaming of barn door wipes to be. #
@digitalkitty Oooo. Dream sequence fades. Very cool. We used those a lot on The Screen Savers. Tomorrow is Tricaster play day. #
Getting ready to do Coast to Coast AM with George Noory on the Missouri My Space indictment. #
@ComputerNerd53 You have to fit your presentation to the stage. George has a more relaxed late night style - so I tried to match! #
@Stranahan Tricaster Studio with four (maybe five) cameras and several computer screens. I can’t wait to play with it tomorrow. #
@lonbaker We’re using 11 litepanels: 4 1×1, 4 mini, 3 micros. You don’t really need that many but we wanted flexibility and depth. #
@Steve95613 Never met Art Bell. He was supposed to join us at a Premiere dinner with Bob Crane last January but went to bed instead. #
@crips07 @crips07 Thanks Chris! If you ever have any openings on the weekend call Premiere Radio about the Tech Guy show. I hear it’s great! #
@dmcglathery http://www.eset.com is good for both anti-virus and anti-spyware. Removal isn’t always possible however. Once infected, format. #
@Stranahan Newtek has been great. Philip Nelson sent Donny O up from San Antonio with a replacement unit when the first arrived DOA. #
@biird The Tricaster is going to let me be Director, TD, tape op, CG op, and host all at the same time. My ADD addled self is stoked. #
@THErealDVORAK Not THAT Bob Crane. The Bob Crane that runs C Crane Radio. http://ccradio.com Hoooogan! #
@THErealDVORAK I like http://speedtest.net - but I’ve always been a sucker for a flashy interface. 22/3 Mbps from Comcast Business w/ Burst. #
@Dan_H Probaby because they’ve been holding their breath walking past Accounting. #

Back from getting ear molds for my new Ultimate Ears headphones. Turns out I’m 1 in 6 people who have "ticklish ear canal syndrome." Kaff #
@danegolden What Dane is to polite to say is: Leo screwed up and has left the office and can’t be found. I’ll go in tonight and put it out. #
Congratulations to the Plaxo guys on their acquisition by Comcast today. Now where do I go to close my account? #
Can’t find a way to kill my Plaxo account. I don’t want Comcast to have my personal info. I really don’t want them to have my friends info. #
Ahhh. Here it is: Delete Plaxo Acct: http://tinyurl.com/6rw2ch #
This American Twitterer: @iraglass - how soon before he overtakes Kevin Rose? #
The morning air feels like warm tea. It’s going to be a scorcher today. Moved the computer CPUs out from under my desk to near the window. #
After talking with @iJustine I’ve decided to use Disqus for my comment system at http://leoville.com. She’s such an inspiration. Cute, too. #
CBS buys cnet for US$1.8 B. Interesting to see MSM snap up devalued new media companies. They must know something the market doesn’t. #
@donreisinger You’ll see. I’ll never forget Eric Hippeau’s company-wide voicemail announcing the sale of Ziff-Davis. #
Glad I’m doing Buzz Out Loud this morning. (10a Pacific, UTC-7 on http://twitlive.tv). #
@donreisinger I think CBS is going to love you. This is actually a big opportunity for you and @mollywood and @acedtect #
Spare the Air Day in the SF Bay Area. I’m walking to work. And I promise to fart less. #
@jimlunsford I always worry when a big media company buys a new media company. They usually don’t get it. But to me c|net _is_ big media! #
@timcourtney Really Tim? I guess they have plans to do something with the old TSS assets? Who knows? G4 nauseates me. #

@digitalkitty is going to teach us welding around 10p PDT tonight at http://twitlive.tv - I swear she’s the next Yoshi. #
Change of plans. @digitalkitty is streaming welding lessons at http://www.stickam.com/twitcolleen #
Thanks for the Pentel care package @GBLPR! I love those G2s almost as much as I love Twitter! #
@robbellbottom A Coast Guard’s chief’s hat would be so cool. As you may have noticed, I collect hats! Thanks! #
@robbellbottom I’m leaning in favor of the Orphan Works Act, but there are two sides to it. I look forward to hearing Larry Lessig’s take. #
@chrisbrogan I use Audible on Macs only. Don’t use the Audible software, use iTunes. I just download and add to iTunes. Voila! #
@StevenVore Larry Lessig is on his yearly month off. But when he gets back I’ll ask him on TWiT to talk about the Orphan Copyrights Act. #

@rmateu You sent me an invite to Buzzword last summer? I am an idiot. Belated thanks! It’s fantastic! http://buzzword.com #
How many viewers for the Digg Town Hall? I tried to get in at 5:25 and never got a picture. I’m trying to figure out what Ustream’s max is. #
Hey this Amish Friendship Bread isn’t bad, in a vanilla puddingy cinnamony way. #
@zaphx I still use the word "podcast" all the time, but it’s less and less relevant considering the wide variety of content we’re all doing. #
I’ve created a TWiT Live production calendar: http://snurl.com/28nng on the web or add this to your iCal or gCal: http://snurl.com/28nno #
@reefinyateef They’re marked as PDT in Google calendar, so I think your calendar should convert them, if it supports time zones anyway. #
@purpleshark Try this: http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/4qj83c651jkqcpmhvmp1pk9t58%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics #

@geoffsmith - can I play the I’m A TWiT song as the closing music for this week’s show? Don’t want to violate your copyright! #
I’m liking Adobe’s new Flash-based online word processor. http://buzzword.com. Thanks for the tip @cbee! #
Uh oh. It’s Amish Friendship Bread baking day. The chain letter of baked goods. #
@sandieman That’s odd. Buzzword supports Safari 3 but not 3.1. Wonder if it’s a Flash thang. I use Flock anyway. #
Favorite call from Sunday’s radio show: the long haul trucker who wants to install lights and cameras in his cab to do a sketch comedy show. #
@helene1026 Not necessarily. You have to convince AT&T to give you naked DSL. http://snipurl.com/28i08 #
It’s May! It’s May! Amish Friendship Bread baking begins today. Wait. That doesn’t sound right. #
