@jasoncalacanis: Got the Dash yesterday. Definitely nextgen GPS. Love the ability to set addresses from Firefox & Wi-Fi map updates. Thanks! #

Back from dinner with Anton Zajac, CEO of AV Co. Eset. He’s also a theoretical physicist working on a unified theory of superconductivity. #
@joshfreeman Yes Times does support del.icio.us, but only by pushing you to your page. I prefer Pukka-style integration (or AppleScripting). #
@jwalkerjr We talked about why elephants have big ears (turns out surface area decreases with volume hence the need for added cooling area). #
Technically the RATIO of surface to volume decreases, but you get the idea. #
OMG Adagio Teas does have a Martin Sargent blend. It’s made of people!! #
@logixdavid I use Yojimbo to store info, but am migrating to the cross-platform, net-syncing Evernote. The cloud’s where it’s at. #
Wonder what @martinsargent will do when he discovers that his producer has booked me on Internet Superstar? Will he have the nerve to do it? #
@patricknorton I guess you don’t know our "history." Or should I say "herstory." Ask @martinsargent - if he has the guts to tell it. #
@dlprager You should know better than anyone why @martinsargent and I can’t be in the same room. Didn’t you get deposed, too? #
I’m liking @Mento very much indeed. del.icio.us meets StumbleUpon + FB. Another fine web 2.0 site from Down Under. http://mento.info #
Dang. Something’s wrong with the Tricaster. It’s mostly not seeing the cameras. Maybe something shook loose in transit. #
Sitting here while Pat and Colleen play with lights and our grid (which is working swell). Watching old Screen Savers clips for inspiration. #

Why oh why did Adagio Teas send me the "David Prager Blend?" Could be worse. Could be the Martin Sargent blend. #

@geniodiabolico Actually Merv designed WoF so that players were incented to delay solving, making viewers feel smarter. Television genius. #

Abby missed her appointment, so she has to wait another month to take her driver’s test. Aw shucks. #
Do you think Barack Obama looks at Twitterholic and thinks, "dang that Laporte is gaining on me? " #
Congratulations to @kevinrose for winning the Webby’s People’s Voice Award for Digg in "Best Practices." Otherwise it’s a sorry list. #
I hope Yang doesn’t cave to angry shareholders. Yahoo needs to be independent to protect pipes, YUI, etc. Microsoft won’t be a good steward. #
For example: http://xefer.com/twitter/leolaporte - a Yahoo Pipes/Google Charts mashup showing Twitter stats. Web ecosystem > Microsoft. #
Hey - I just noticed that six of the top seven Twitterers are TWiTs. How’s that for trademark confusion? http://twitdir.com/top/topfollowed #
Want to know what’s going on inside the teen brain? Ask someone who is still young enough to remember: @vvanpetten #
For TWiT Live broadcast updates follow @twitlive - I won’t spam this account with announcements. #
@JasonCalacanis There is some rationale for Moeller’s deletion at Wikipedia. Read the discussion: http://en.wikipedia.org/ #
Sorry - here’s the direct link to the Moller discussion on Wikipedia: http://snurl.com/27et1 #
@hotdogsladies I grew up watching @soupysales. His show is, in many ways, the inspiration for @TWiTLive. Whoever’s doing this has him cold. #
@AndrewMayer I think @soupysales IS still alive at 82 - but on Twitter? Hmmm. Dick DeBartolo knows him. I’ll ask Dick. #
Mad Magazine’s Maddest Writer, Dick DeBartolo, is now on Twitter, too: @thegizwiz - he says he thinks Soupy Sales is ill and not @soupysales #
Ding. #

Best part of last night’s TWiT: @jasoncalacanis says he might buy a second Tesla to use while the first one is charging. #
@neerav I’ve fixed the TWiT dial-up feed, and yes @duck1123 - there’s been some database corruption at TWiT.tv. Working on it. Thanks! #
@twitdir - you’re missing the #3 Twitterer: @kevinrose - he’s coming on strong! #
Call me crazy but wouldn’t this be an excellent time to buy YHOO stock? Especially if you think Microsoft will be back. #
Disclaimer: I own no tech stocks and have no plans to buy any so as to avoid any conflict of interest. (But it’s fun to speculate.) #
@popey There are two lists: http://twitterholic.com - which updates a few times a day and http://twitdir.com - which updates when you hit it #
Don’t ask me how I know this. #
@gheydon has just saved TWiT.tv (and given me a reprieve from my bad backup habits). If you need a good Drupal guy Twitter @gheydon! #
Wha?? I got to the final’s in TV Week’s "Hottest Male Web Host." Vote your heart. (As long as Martin doesn’t win.) http://snipurl.com/277z2 #
@abbylaporte is taking her driver’s test today. Again. #

My daughter borrowed my light reflector and lost the bag that holds it. Now it looks like I have a little pop-up trampoline next to my bed. #
InTheMo wants to interview me. Anyone know who they are? HQ is on a studio lot in Culver City. Looks like they’ve got serious capital. #
@ifelix I’m not looking for a job. Ever again. #

A quick note to anyone in the Bay Area. It’s no Maker Faire but I’ll be speaking at KGO Live at 3p today in SF. Free at http://kgoam810.com #
I’ll also attempt to stream it (EVDO willing) at http://twitlive.tv #

Stuck for a few hours at the car dealer while I get service and a fuse for my lighter. Jen tossed some screws in it and shorted it out. #
I just wish I could find someone who would tell me exactly what kind of pens to buy. #
Consensus: Pilot G2. (I’m a Pilot Varsity user myself.) Not one person said Jet Pen. (THIS is how I’ll top Obama @ http://twitterholic.com.) #
@MrGuilt I have a Pilot Vanishing Point, too. I bought it after losing my fourth Montblanc. I think I need to do a Pencast. #
@drtiki - want to co-host a Pencast with me? We can try pens from all over the world. And drink. #
Or maybe this is one for @ 1timstreet - I can see it now, French maids trying gel pens, fountain pens, roller balls. shiver. #
That does it. I’m stopping at Staples on the way home. I need a pen fix. #
@donniefischer I use lots of Levenger stuff. Met the Leveens on our trip to Egypt - love ‘em. Wonder if they’d sponsor a pencast? hmmm. #
Wow. I just saved 15 pages of responses to my pen query. Twitter buds you amaze me. I think we must do a pencast. #
@sonicnet is giving away Maker Faire tickets. You’ll have to pick them up in Santa Rosa CA by 5p Pacific. Twitter @sonicnet. #

@digitalkitty is spending the night at the TWiT cottage. (Her car broke down.) Should I be worried? #
Nah. What could go wrong? #
@ErIog Yep. Trying out the Countryman because it looks better on video, and it’s picking up less room tone. It’s no PR-40 but good enough? #
@cbee Yep. Port 1935 must be open to watch our stream at http://twitlive.tv #
@tildesley MacBreak Weekly was my first show in the new studio - I finished the wiring 1 minute before we started. I’m working on the audio. #
