This is just another test…

Gah. It left the font face, color, and size, even though I had checked the option to remove them before posting…

The Snopocalypse has yet to materialize in Aloha. It looks forbidding out there, though. #pdxtst #
Conundrum: It gets really cold in my home office with the door closed. But if I open the door, my kids think it’s open season on dad. #
And the Snowpocalypse rolls into Aloha (#pdxtst): http://twitpic.com/tml1 #
@JoshProStar But I went all Mac! I don’t have any more Pentium 4s to keep me warm. Though my MBP makes an excellent lapwarmer. in reply to JoshProStar #
@KGWNewsChannel8 I get a bunch of “Mailbox Full” bounce notices when I email yourpics@kgw.com. Security leak, revealing emails like that. in reply to KGWNewsChannel8 #
In an Intel DUM meeting with @billpearson, @jerry_makare, and probably a whole lot of other @intelsoftware people. #
@billpearson Maybe we should put cat doors in our office doors. Lets heat circulate, keeps housebears (children) out. in reply to billpearson #
@jltitus A baby gate is a good idea, but it wouldn’t do anything to keep my kids from standing at the gate and yelling at me. in reply to jltitus #
To everyone who suggested a space heater, good idea, but it’s rarely this cold, and I rarely work from my home office, so I’ll just suffer. #
@BrianEnigma I DO need an #electricblanket. Several, so I can make an #electricblanketfort. in reply to BrianEnigma #
Watching a neighbor put chains on the front wheels of a rear wheel drive small pickup. Umm, I don’t think that’s gonna work very well… #
@KGWNewsChannel8 If you’re thinking of changing your Twitter handle, know that you can do so without losing followers/folowees. Short=nice. in reply to KGWNewsChannel8 #
@vpynchon I’d go help, but they’re already gone. And what do I know? Maybe their little Mazda pickup really is front wheel drive? in reply to vpynchon #
@KGWNewsChannel8 Yeah, Hillsboro/Beaverton definitely getting heavy snow right now. Lots of big fat flakes. #pdxtst in reply to KGWNewsChannel8 #
Snowpocalypse Continues in Aloha. Lots of big fat flakes: http://twitpic.com/tngo #
@KGWNewsChannel8 @nelking Whoa! My crappy iPhone picture out my office window made it onto TV? Cool! I just send another one. in reply to KGWNewsChannel8 #
Saw high tech ODOT gravel applicator on our street earlier: guy in a pickup with a shovel. Grateful anyway. #pdxtst #
Snow seems to have stopped here in Aloha. #pdxtst #
And the snow is back in Aloha. It’s fading in and out. #pdxtst #
RT @protherj @jabancroft is going to be our #saocorvallis tech pub speaker in January! Be there on January 8th at Iovino’s in Covallis! #
@MCP85 I don’t have any control over the venue (I’ve never actually been to Corvallis). It’s up to the SAO folks. But thanks! in reply to MCP85 #
WUnderground says it’s 34F in my neighborhood right now. It’s starting to look a little slushy out there. #pdxtst #
Chrysler http://ff.im/k8Xf #
@justinkistner That Chrysler tweet was meant to be a search. Blame FriendFeed. Related: Chrysler closing all plants for at least 1 month. in reply to justinkistner #
(The Chrysler news is all over Twitter Trends.) #
@ashokraj Yeah, that Chrysler FriendFeed link is broken because I deleted it. Was meant to be a search, not a post. Whoops! in reply to ashokraj #
Aaand we just lost power. #
PGE outage line says about 3000 people are affected (Beaverton), estimate power won’t be back until 6:15PM. Crew dispatched. #pdxtst #
We need to run some errands anyway, so we’ll just pile in the car if we get cold. @rachelbancroft and kids are playing outside, anyway. #
It’s not Twittet, but PGE’s phone system for reporting outages is really good. 503-464-7777. Tells how many reported, affected, ETRepair. #
Power’s back in Aloha. 1.25 hours ahead of estimate. Thanks, PGE! #pdxtst #
On errands in Hillsboro. It’s raining. Roads are wet, and mostly OK. Parking lots are like giant melty Slurpees. #pdxtst #
@Metroknow That’s exactly what it’s like. Cola Slurpee. I confess to doing a little drifting/donuts in the Slurpee in some parking lots. in reply to Metroknow #
@Jmartens Yeah, the thaw continues in Hillsboro. Roads are mostly just wet. It’s slush city. Hope it stays warmer a little longer. #pdxtst in reply to Jmartens #
Wow. Have schools ever been closed 4 days in a row in Portland before? Not in the 9+ years I’ve lived here. #
@Metroknow re: drifting/donuts, it doesn’t help that I was driving our Subaru WRX, which is just MADE for that kind of stuff. in reply to Metroknow #
LOL @ the iPhone Google Mobile app’s release notes for the new version: “Bug fixes. Enhanced version number.” #
@ahockley You mean the 2004 ice storm? I don’t remember if school was closed then. My oldest was a year old at the time. in reply to ahockley #
OH @rachelbancroft: “Now I know why my mother rejoiced when summer break was over.” #
Wow. It’s still 34F outside. Good. Melt baby melt! #pdxtst #
@verso can you afford the MBP? Go for it. You won’t be disappointed. mine is the best computer I’ve ever used, hands down. in reply to verso #
@verso If cost is an object, the MacBook has everything but Firewire, Expresscard, and highend graphics. Also an excellent choice. in reply to verso #
@verso Can you live with the smaller 1280×700 or whatever resolution on the 13″? in reply to verso #
@verso Also, only the more expensive 13″ MacBook has a backlit keyboard. in reply to verso #
@verso Sounds like you’re decided. Get the 13″ MacBook, and if it drives you crazy, sell it and buy the 15″. in reply to verso #
@verso The MBP is the one I’d go for. I love mine (older). DO EET! in reply to verso #

It’s 12 degrees F, school is cancelled for the second day, and I’m working from home again. Roads are a solid sheet of ice. #pdxtst #
Portland is just not equipped to deal with snow and ice. A fleet of plows and sanders cost too much for the one time a year they’re needed. #
The streets around my house haven’t seen a plow or even a sander since this started. Hence, the roads are an ice rink, and we don’t go out. #
@akarlin I live in Aloha/Beaverton/Hillsboro. It’s all just one big west of Portland ‘burb. in reply to akarlin #
@jltitus Cabin fever definitely an issue over here, too. Hoping for a thaw just so we can venture out of the house! in reply to jltitus #
Sun has thawed things a bit, and we’re stir crazy enough to risk an outing. The sun actually melted most of the stuff on our car. #pdxtst #
Main roads in Hillsboro aren’t too bad. TV Hwy is dry in the lanes. 209th wasn’t bad. Side streets are still nothing but ice though. #pdxtst #
Hey @KGW folks: someone named craigwalker.net borked your school closures page: http://tinyurl.com/5qkjwp #
@jschultz @Tersteeg I vote “death of the giant trade show”. Already happened to E3 and Comdex. I predict CES has 2 more years left. And IDF? in reply to jschultz #
@jschultz Yeah, I know IDF is Intel’s chance to train people and show off. It’s like if MacWorld were ONLY Apple, instead of an ecosystem. in reply to jschultz #
@jschultz Now that I think about it, Intel’s IDF is more like Apple’s WWDC. Intel doesn’t really have a MacWorld analogue. Maybe CES? in reply to jschultz #
Oh, Laural Porter. Did you really just report on the Burger King spray fragrance as if it were a real thing, and not a web marketing stunt? #
And before you all tell me that the Burger King perfume is real, I won’t believe it until I see it and smell it. #

Apparently I’m not the only Intel Oregon person working from home today. Just lost my VPN connection, can’t get it back. #
@jmelesky I tried the “connect to other sites” thing for a while, still didn’t work. I did manage to get reconnected though so work resumes. in reply to jmelesky #
Attention, everybody: @rachelbancroft just informed me she’s about to tweet. That is all. #
Had a BLAST tonight with the whole family on Guitar Hero World Tour. Me on guitar, @rachelbancroft on bass, Emma on drums, Gabe singing. #

Oh THERE’S the snow. Coming down hard in Aloha. Sticking already - prolly an inch on the ground. Only started falling half hour ago. #pdxtst #
@jschultz I was all prepared to make fun of this weenie “Arctic Blast” snowstorm, but this is actually pretty impressive. #pdxtst in reply to jschultz #
Snow still coming down hard in Aloha. Windy too. Dare I utter the B-word (blizzard)? Getting to and from church was interesting. #pdxtst #
That was one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done. Don’t take the garbage cans to the street in Crocs in 5″ of snow, K? #pdxtst #
We spent our snowy afternoon decorating the house/tree for Christmas. http://twitpic.com/szil #
Whoa, Microaoft released an iPhone app: Seadragon, their “gigapixel” image viewing software. Going to try it… http://tinyurl.com/5tn6qm #
@jmoriarty I know, right? But Seadragon is surprisingly cool. It’s like near infinite zoom. Try zooming in on the “By the Numbers” image. in reply to jmoriarty #
The Maps in Seadragon Mobile are also very cool. Will grab your location, let you zoom in close just like Google Earth, only way faster. #
@ahockley is it really dry in Vancouver? We’ve got more snow here than I can recall in ten years. My backyard: http://twitpic.com/t07p in reply to ahockley #
@ahockley Wow. Can’t believe Vancouver is dry. This is what my street looks like right now: http://twitpic.com/t0t9 in reply to ahockley #
@SarahCofer FeedBooks is like crack for your Kindle. Browse at dl directly from feedbooks.mobi, or get their “guide” book to browse catalog. in reply to SarahCofer #
@SarahCofer I don’t have a good organization scheme for books. I sort by newest, and delete judiciously when I’m done reading. in reply to SarahCofer #
@chrisorourke I think the Feedbooks site has a “random book” link, but if they don’t, they should. That’s a good idea. in reply to chrisorourke #
@chrisorourke You and me both. I have so many ideas that if I got paid for all of them, I’d be rich! in reply to chrisorourke #

Awesome: “I Love Katamari” for iPhone. Bummer: It’s $8, and doesn’t seem to run very well, according to comments. Too bad. I love that game. #

Dreary rainy day. Meetings downtown. Wish I had an umbrella. Hey, that was almost haiku! #
Picked up Guitar Hero World Tour last night. A few songs - Livin on a Prayer, Eye of the Tiger, Hotel California - were worth it alone. #
@rachebancroft was mostly on vocals, and me on guitar, but we switched around. Vocals are hard! #
And our crappy old 27″ CRT TV just doesn’t cut it. So low res and fuzzy you can’t read the lyrics. Time to find $$ to upgrade it. #
One downtown meeting done, waiting to meet up now with @chrislogan at Stumptown. @portlandrain and @portlandsun battling for supremacy. #
At the ward Christmas party. Tired from staying up late playing GHWT. Can’t stop yawning… #
@pregeeth I got the whole band kit, drums included, though I haven’t even tried them yet. They’re big and solid, though! in reply to pregeeth #
@Jerry_Makare You’re right. Warble IS a great word. And you just wait until I bring it all to work someday. in reply to Jerry_Makare #
@protherj Believe it or not, I’ve never played Rock Band. Seen it, read a ton about it. Know it well intellectually, but no hands on exp yet in reply to protherj #
Comparing the new “Simple” and enhanced iChat bubble styles in Tweetie 1.1. I still like the bubbles. And Nearby has an AWESOME animation. #

@pdxjdangel Rock Band 2 band kit isn’t out until 12/30 in reply to pdxjdangel #
My next tweet is going to be something kind of important to me, albeit corny and cheesy… #
Thank you all for listening to me x10000. You mean a lot more to me than you’d believe. You’re my friends, and I’m grateful for you all. #
Thanks to all for the kind 10K words. I AM just a sappy, orange-Croc-wearing goofus. But I love you guys! #
Got a new toy I’m playing with as we speak: a Flip Mino HD. REALLY impressive so far. I love that iMovie likes the videos. More to come… #
The Flip Mino HD is a winner so far. No special software needed, quality is great. Even their FlipShare software isn’t terrible. #
@rachelbancroft I bet you’ve changed more diapers than I have tweeted tweets. Not gonna challenge you there. Nuh uh! in reply to rachelbancroft #
@masonwest So far, the videos off of the Mino HD are a little over 1 MB per second. in reply to masonwest #
@verso Haven’t compared video quality to the Apitek yet. But on size/feel/build quality, the Flip blows the Apitek away. in reply to verso #
The backlight on the screen of our Aiptek Action HD went out, which is what prompted the acquisition of the Flip Mino HD. #
@brucesharpe Going to compare the sound on the Mino HD/Aiptek. So far, the mic seems strangely directional, biased to the person holding it. in reply to brucesharpe #
@brucesharpe FWIW, the audio from a Mino HD video shows as AAC, Mono, 44.100 KHz. Video is AVC, 1280×720. Surprised it’s not H.264. in reply to brucesharpe #
RT @projct: AVC is MPEG4 AVC, aka H.264 (thanks for correcting me, Michael! #
@WhiplashDesign I have not tried Twitterlator, but if I had to guess/bet, my money would be on Tweetie. in reply to WhiplashDesign #
@marusin That’s another think I like about the Mino HD - it sits flush and looks right at home plugged into my MBP USB port, too. in reply to marusin #
@jltitus Try adding a sort object to your Pipe. They don’t automatically get sorted chronologically. in reply to jltitus #
Waitaminute. IGN got their hands on Rock Band 2 for Wii (final), and they say that GH:WT instruments DO work!? http://tinyurl.com/5elmpo #

RT @jbernoff: Attention blogosphere: only 16% of consumers trust corporate blogs. New data released today. http://tinyurl.com/5qdlc2 #
@bikehugger Yeah, that graph was a little disheartening to the corp blogger in me. But the connected individual in me agrees 100%. in reply to bikehugger #
Uh oh. @billpearson and @jmoriarty caught my in my attempt to sabotage our early morning staff meeting’s calendar item in Outlook. Foiled! #
@verso The graph was “Do you trust these sources?” Only 16% (lowest on the graph) said they trust “company blogs”. Read @jbernoff’s analysis in reply to verso #
Regarding the “only 16% of people trust company blogs” thing, I say “Duh.” People trust people they know. So become “people they know”. #
Attention Kindle owners: Amazon has 9 free books you can download until Feb. 28. Go get them! http://tinyurl.com/62ttmn #

@michaelrykov Oh yes. I’m a big fan of the free/Creative Commons books at manybooks, feedbooks, Gutenberg, etc. in reply to michaelrykov #

@StephStricklen You mentioned TwitterFon not working. If you’re on an iPhone, I can’t recommend Tweetie enough. Best Twitter app I’ve used. in reply to StephStricklen #
@StephStricklen Tweetie does everything TweetDeck does, but in a super slick, fast, iPhone-elegant way. Definitely worth the few bucks. in reply to StephStricklen #
@StephStricklen Looks like there’s a known crashing bug with TwitterFon that won’t get fixed til the next version. So it’s not just you. in reply to StephStricklen #
I can’t wait for the new stuff in Tweetie 1.1 that the author just blogged about: http://atebits.com #

RT @jmoriarty: Intel has published externally our Social Media guidelines for employees. Feel free to comment and/or use. http://is.gd/aHQb #
It took a long time and a lot of work to get Intel’s social media guidelines published externally. Hats off to all those who made it happen. #
Just snagged Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 (thanks @jkendrick). Adds “Private Browsing”, and Tracemonkey (FAST javascript) is on by default. Nice. #
@Jmartens Thanks for the kind words about Intel’s SM guidelines. We’ve been doing it forever, but nice to have have something to share. in reply to Jmartens #
My Google issues seem to have smoothed out for now. Mail, Reader, and Calendar working normally. Also, Firefox 3.1 beta 2 is FAST. Go get! #

The way the KGW tweeple have become part of the PDX Twitter community, and made our community part of their show, is masterful. Huge kudos! #
