Podcast and Videoblog Roadshow :: Roadshow Portland - July 16, 2005

Eric Rice is in town, and you know what that means - something to do with podcasts and videoblogs. We’re going to get together in Downtown Portland, and, uh, walk around, I guess. Should be lots of fun, and you can bet that there will be lots of podcast and videoblog documentary of the outing as a result.

Maybe we’ll hit the Grand Opening of the Apple Store in Pioneer Place Mall.

@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 #
Happy that now I can a) get GH:WT now, and pick up RB2 disc only when it comes out, and b) be able to play both with the same instruments. #
@sumwan You’re right. EVERYONE needs a pink plastic fake guitar. in reply to sumwan #
@treowth I’ll get right on developing that app for you. Or were you asking if I knew of such an app? in reply to treowth #
@matt says that WordPress 2.7 is live. W00t! http://ma.tt in reply to matt #

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 #
Sure, those free Kindle books are probably crap. But they’re FREE crap! What do you want, the moon and the stars? #
@michaelrykov Oh yes. I’m a big fan of the free/Creative Commons books at manybooks, feedbooks, Gutenberg, etc. in reply to michaelrykov #

@kellyrfeller I get a 404 not found on your Intel SM policy link. Got a correct one? in reply to kellyrfeller #
RT @kellyrfeller Post on how Intel published its SM guidelines publically. What do you think? Did we get it right? http://tinyurl.com/5u4g9f #
@CarriBugbee Thanks for your comment. I’m not seeing it yet, but I’m sure it will be great. in reply to CarriBugbee #
@bryanrhoads I was after a link to the post @kellyrfeller was talking about, but I found it. Thanks! in reply to bryanrhoads #
I’m really happy to see a “Use System Proxy Settings” option in Firefox 3.1 b2 for Mac. Been so tired of wrangling separate proxy settings. #

@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 #

@chrisorourke They just released uTorrent for OS X, but it lacks feed capability. Transmission seems to be the favorite OS X torrent app. in reply to chrisorourke #
@glecko Done and done. Welcome to Twitter! in reply to glecko #
Google apps are having problems for me this morning. Mail, Reader, Calendar, all timing out and acting weird. Anyone else? #
@geoffk I’m seeing the Google problems from Intel’s network. Sometimes it’s our proxies, but this seems more widespread. in reply to geoffk #
My crystal ball predicts blog posts in the usual places about Google’s problems/outages by EOD. If that’s you, get writing! #
Wow. I just had a search result google.com URL fail. Timeout. What’s going on down there? #
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! #
Just trained @ashokraj to post on the Intel Software Network blog. Been reading his stuff for a while, looking forward to what he writes! #
Also showed @ashokraj TweetDeck, and Tweetie on the iPhone. He’s a geek after my own heart! #
@drthomasho Tweetie is fast, saves searches, fast, lets me RT/reply/DM easily, fast, multiple account support, fast, pretty, and, uh, fast. in reply to drthomasho #
@LeStew Get Audacity. Open the AIFF, then save as whatever else you want. WAV, MP3 (needs free liblame library, instructions on site). in reply to LeStew #
@LeStew Audacity invasive? It keeps to itself, I promise! You could also try VLC. Or GarageBand. in reply to LeStew #
Hey, I just broke 3000 followers. That’s just CRAZY! Lucky number 3000 was @brandone. Why the heck do 3000 of you listen to me? #
OK, early consensus is that you don’t care what I say, you just follow because of the orange Crocs. Good to know. Oh, and @camikaos #
Oh, crap. That annoying tweeting about how many followers I have made someone unfollow me. Sorry! I won’t talk about it any more! #
@StephStricklen Yay! Congratuations! Can’t wait to see if you “live tweet” the birth. in reply to StephStricklen #
I can’t make the Ignite Portland 5 Volunteer Kickoff at 6 @cubespace, but if you want to help with IP5, go! http://tinyurl.com/5vrwow #
Tuned into @stephstricklen on @TheSquare for the first time (believe it or not) just in time for an @ahockley shoutout and her baby news #
@stephstricklen @aweiss and @thesquare have done what I would have said was impossible: made me a big fan of a local TV news show. Good job! in reply to StephStricklen #
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! #
Ah, yes. It is about time to break out #pdxtst (PDX Twitter! Storm! Team!). Will be extra fun if the TV news folks (KGW tweeps) join in! #
@wheresitworking Yes, we need a tweeting weatherman. Though Mark Nielsen’s weather blog for FOX12 is awesome. I’m a long time fan. in reply to wheresitworking #

@pdxjdangel It was the song selection in RB2 that pushed me over the edge (downloadable songs). Jonathan Coulton and MC Frontalot FTW! in reply to pdxjdangel #
@pdxjdangel GHWT seems pretty good but the catalog of songs (500+) for RB2 is stellar. More songs I love. And GH Wii guitar works with RB2. in reply to pdxjdangel #
So cool to see The Amazing Race finale send the contestants all over Portland. Food carts! Voodoo Doughnut! #
There’s a taxi spot just around the corner from Voodoo on 2nd. Too bad the Amazing Racers tried to flag one down on Burnside. #
@Jmartens That would make it more challenging, but it’s all about making a TV show. They’ve won like 5 Emmy’s in a row. in reply to Jmartens #
Imagine what an advantage you’d have on The Amazing Race with an iPhone: Google Maps, Street View, GPS, buying tickets, etc. Hmm… #
We should put together a community-grown DIY Amazing Race-type game. Make it challenging, geeky, and fun! Who’s in? #
@Jmartens I’m serious. We could do some pretty cool stuff… In our copious free time, of course. in reply to Jmartens #

Sorry I’m going to miss the meatspace portion of CyborgCamp today. But the cybernetic parts of me will be participating as possible. #
#cyborgcamp is already #3 on Twitter trends. With all the tweets I’m seeing, there’s no doubt about it. We’re all cyborgs. #
Found out that Guitar Hero World Tour Wii instruments will NOT work with Rock Band 2. That changes things. Now leaning towards Rock Band 2. #
I like the on-disc setlist for GH:WT better than RB2’s, but the MASSIVE number of downloadable songs for RB2 has more “I love that song!”s #
Any opinions/advice for someone who has GH3, GH:Aerosmith, and one Wii guitar (which apparently WILL work in RB2)? GH:WT or RB2 full kit? #

Got shoo’ed out of the Apple Store for asking if I could take a picture. Lesson?don’t ask, just take. #
When I said “just take”, I was talking about taking pictures. Not theft. I’ve taken pics in Apple Stores before, never been chastised. #
@Metroknow The weird thing is, I’ve taken pictures openly in that Apple store before, and no one said anything. But when I asked first… in reply to Metroknow #

@marusin I assume the new Apple buds work with iPhone, but I’ve heard conflicting reports, too. Waiting on a review. Would be silly not to. in reply to marusin #
Hey, remember when the iPhone 3G launched, and AT&T said they’d sell unlocked ones for $499 “after a while”? What ever happened to that? #
@junesix No, I remember them specifically saying that unlocked iPhones would be available in the U.S. for $499, sometime “after” the launch. in reply to junesix #
Hmm. Amazon Remembers employs *two* HITs on MTurk. One to say “is this identifiable and like to be on Amazon” for $0.01, and another… #
And another HIT for $0.10 that says “find this on Amazon”. So they have a penny filter to keep crap/nonsense out of the “identify this” pool #
here’s where you can see both HIT pools that Amazon Remembers uses on MTurk: http://tinyurl.com/5msskg #

Welcome @rogoway, tech reporter and Silicon FOREST blogger at the Oregonian, to Twitter. Glad to see you here, Mike! #
You know, with all these new Google Reader features, it would be nice if we could rename a freaking folder by now. #
Just trained about a dozen Intel folks in China on how to post to the ISN blog. That puts me at about 14 for today, and ~20 on the week. #

According to iLounge, its only the new volume buttons on the new Apple in-ear buds that don’t work on iPhones. Clicker and mic should work. #
At least, I think that’s what iLounge said. Anyone have another source? #
Ah, excellent. Gizmodo says it IS only the volume that doesn’t work on the iPhone. Mic and clicker do work. I think I’m going to get them… #
Goodle Reader for iPhone got a little makeover today, too. Buttons are a lighter color, and it feels faster. #

http://twitpic.com/puyo - Oh, sweet! Amazon launched a free iPhone app! This is going to be dangerous… #
The Amazon iPhone app has a feature called Amazon Remembers, where you take pics of stuff you want to buy and they match it (like SnapTell). #
If Amazon Remembers works well, it’s going to be a great feature. I’ll try it out later and report results. #
Tested Amazon Remembers by taking a picture of my Kindle. A little while later, I got an email with a match/link. Cooool! #
@DavidLuzsi The app is called Amazon Mobile, I just searched for Amazon in the App store. It’s free. in reply to DavidLuzsi #
@philmartinez Yeah, and 1-Click purchasing is enabled by default in the Amazon Mobile app (though they do warn you, and you can turn it off) in reply to philmartinez #
@mas90guru That is cool (when it finds a match, the link in the email takes you to the item in the iPhone app, along with a regular URL). in reply to mas90guru #
And when Amazon Remembers finds a match, it shows up in the iPhone app as well, not just in the email they send you. Nice touch. #
Apparently, Amazon is using Mechanical Turk (human beings) to match photos taken for Remembers, and not algorithmic matching. Interesting. #
@BrianEnigma Yeah, it’s cool that they’re using Mechanical Turk. I guess Amazon is the one who pays for the HITs. Wonder how it’ll scale? in reply to BrianEnigma #
@egrigg9000 Cool idea (taking a picture of an event poster, getting an iCal file back). Doubt Amazon would do it, but someone else should! in reply to egrigg9000 #
@adamd @camikaos I’m sock-sock-Croc-Croc. And @rachelbancroft and our kids can’t stand shoes and socks, and are often barefoot. in reply to adamd #

Want to browse (or work on, for $0.10 each) the photos that Amazon Remembers users send? Here’s the HIT on MTurk: http://tinyurl.com/5g89an #
@warnercrocker Thanks for the nod in the 4th annual Ink Blot awards. Would definitely love to have a beverage with you some day! in reply to WarnerCrocker #
Anyone know of other iPhone/mobile apps using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk - human processors? They have an API, but I don’t know of many apps. #
You know, Amazon’s iPhone app could add Shazam-like “listen to a song then buy it from AmazonMP3 Store” functionality. That would rock. #
@feedle Yeah, yeah, buy a gPhone. But here’s Amazon’s oppty to horn in on iTunes’ music buying monopoly on the iPhone. Disruption! in reply to feedle #
@feedle Easy on the iPhone/Apple/Jobs hate there, fella. in reply to feedle #
@feedle Meh. T-Mobile and Google will lock you in just as much as Apple and AT&T. Yes, lock-in is evil, but my iPhone makes me happy! in reply to feedle #
Wow, Amazon Remembers is getting faster. Took a picture of a Nintendo DS on my screen @ Amazon, AR identified it within about a minute. #
@feedle Why do you pay for three different cell phone service plans and have three SIM cards? in reply to feedle #
@feedle Ah. I don’t travel internationally enough to pay for another account in another country. So unlocking gets me nothing. in reply to feedle #

The new Nokia N97 looks like a great device. Funny how everyone compares it to the iPhone. #
The N97 will be DOA in the US unless they get AT&T to offer it. For the same or lower price as the iPhone. #

In an all day team face to face meeting with the ISN team. @billpearson just showed a really cool video. #
We’re doing an unusual (for Intel) but very cool exercise: everyone was to buy (or borrow) a book, then tell us why they chose that book. #

Today is the 3rd birthday of Intelpedia, the Intel-wide internal wiki I created. Celebrations taking place worldwide at Intel sites. #
Intelpedia has several “children”, wikis at other companies that I’ve helped people set up. It’s contagious! #
I never kept track of what companies I’ve helped with wiki stuff. Am thinking it would be nice to keep track, see how they’re progressing. #

@janetleejohnson The wiki platform I recommend and teach is MediaWiki, but it’s not always the best choice. in reply to janetleejohnson #
@davekresta The problem of easy wiki for newbies to edit is age old. Can try a WYSIWYG plugin but I say teach people through the curve. in reply to davekresta #
@krystlechung In general, I advocate teaching people to be smarter and more capable over dumbing the tools down to lowest common denominator in reply to krystlechung #
@jackbaty Ah. “Making it simple” versus “dumbing it down” is a subjective slippery slope. It depends. I’m all for making things simple. in reply to jackbaty #
@davekresta It’s a fine line. You want to make it as easy as you can to edit, but they also have to climb the learning curve. in reply to davekresta #
It was SO cool to have @rachelbancroft with me at Ignite Portland last night. I loved introducing her to my tweeps. She’s so wonderful! #
@matt_mcc Anyone at Intel can edit/contribute to Intelpedia. The info is limited to stuff that it’s OK for the whole company to see. in reply to matt_mcc #
Postulate: Building community sells more of your company’s product that traditional marketing efforts. Discuss. Data points or anecdotes? #
@krystlechung Interfaces (e.g. blog engines) can make things easy for people, but they will benefit from knowledge of the markup code. in reply to krystlechung #

@sumwan Did you know you can search Google by voice already from ANY phone? http://google.com/goog411/ An app could make it even better, tho in reply to sumwan #
So where IS that dang Google voice search iPhone app they keep talking about? Friday’s almost over! #
It seems that I’m going to be on the @strangelovelive show tonight, recapping #IP4 with @camikaos and @drnormal. Come join us! #
@aweiss LOL I’d even jump through that hoop, I want the Google app so bad. in reply to aweiss #
Hey, Portland - get out and see the moon. Full, low on the horizon to the NE. Very cool looking. #
I’m going to be on @strangelovelive in about 20 minutes, with @camikaos and @drnormal. Via Skype, sadly, due to by suburban habitat. #
@ahockley It was more of a timing issue than anything, had to get the kids home from the sitter after date night with @rachelbancroft. in reply to ahockley #
Going, uh, live on @strangelovelive in just a couple of minutes. http://tinyurl.com/5l2e5h #
@strangelovelive Was much fun. Thanks for having me! I’ll stick around for after hours. Not sure what to expect.
