i-mate JASJAR Thickness Comparison
Originally uploaded by JoshB.

More geek pr0n!

You can see here how much thicker the JASJAR is than my Dell X50V. Not really a problem for me, as I’ve come to think of the JASJAR as a different class of device than a regular Pocket PC. It’s more like a miniature laptop computer that I carry with me in my pocket all the time.

@ahockley Of course you’ve seen more downtime and errors from Twitter than identi.ca. They’ve been around, what, a day and a half? #
@ahockley What’s going to happen when identi.ca has to scale to the size and number of users that Twitter has? If it’s slow and shaky now… #
@ahockley And identi.ca doesn’t even have all of its features turned on yet! They’re missing replies, SMS, an API, and a ton of other stuff. #
@ahockley (I’ve been reading and posting these replies from FriendFeed. Here, Twitter is fast and stable. FF IS the best Twitter client. #
At the Hillsboro 4th of July parade. I’m not a parade guy (well, I’m not a “sit in a crowd in the sun” guy) but the kids love it. #
Why do people bring dogs to parades? The sheer number of small children makes it… problematic - for everyone. #
Jesse Helms died? I don’t have an opinion, but that makes MC Hawking’s song “Why Won’t Jesse Helms Just Hurry Up And Die” outdated. #
@motherpopper I don’t think it starts until 10. Hop on the MAX, get off at Hillsboro TC, walk a block north, et violá! #
@blath early? We’ve been sitting here since 8:30. #
I feel like I missed out on punk. Probably due to growing up in Utah, where there was only metal and country. #

That tubes post I hoped to get up today? Not going to happen. Tomorrow? Likely. Did get a Bit Stories episode recorded and edited w @bljarv. #
Playing with Google Talk for the iPhone: http://google.com/talk. About what you’d expect for a web-based GTalk client. But still very cool! #
Big ole’ cloudburst in Beaverton/Hillsboro. Still muggy, didn’t cool it down much. #pdxtst #
People on the next street over (their house backs to mine) have been doing loud illegal fireworks for an hour. In a dense residential area. #
I’ve called non-emerg dispatch twice, but they say “it’s the 4th weekend, people are going to be doing that, even though it bugs you and me” #
Uh, it’s Wednesday night, the 2nd? I can’t believe how rude and inconsiderate people are. My kids are trying to sleep. :-\ #
Not to mention it’s illegal and dangerous. Guess I’ll call back if the asshats set something on fire. #
Ooh, middle-of-the-night lightning and thunder. Good thing my kids are already asleep in my room (cause its the only air conditioned one). #
identi.ca is broken this morning. Redirects to http://hewitt.controlezvous.ca/, which is dead. That didn’t take long. Not even a Fail Whale! #
@bljarv and I are on a roll! New episode of the Bit Stories show is up. This week: Moblin, Linux, and NetMeeting: http://tinyurl.com/4o4ubp #
@scbrowning She was bit by a BAT!? Yikes. Keep an eye out for any signs of this: http://tinyurl.com/5g7aee #
@ahockley If more of your tweeps were using identi.ca, they would have abandoned their own tweeps to do so. Go where your tweeps are! #
Why did identi.ca change it’s URL to hewitt.whatever? Are they going to do that a lot? I have to reauth with OpenID every time they do. #
And now that I’m logged in to identi.ca, I can’t subscribe to people until I reload their page AFTER I’ve logged in. Liking it less and less #
Top end 1.8GHz SSD MacBook Air just got a $500 price drop: http://tinyurl.com/45jbha (hat tip to @ejacqui). Bet people who paid $999 are mad #
I wonder how long it will be until an iPhone 3G tethering hack appears? It is possible now with EDGE, but 3G is fast enough to be worth it. #
At lunch with coworkers at Standords. @artigupta is going on sabbatical. We’ll miss her! #
Sweet! Friend at work who used to live in Switzerland and work with CERN just gave me a cool CERN mousepad. “Where the Web was born.” #
@clint @ejacqui Hey, when did Ars get a full text feed (http://arstechnica.com/everything.rssx)? Awesome! Are there any more? #
Hey, cool! I just went to http://slideshare.net, and guess what’s “Featured” on the front page? Ignite Portland! #
@mrkurt Blame @clint! That’s where I found it! Seriously, though, sorry if I caused you any heartburn… #
@ahockley Why leave Twitter, when there’s not a better place to go? Identi.ca isn’t there yet, by a LONG shot. It’s unproven, and shaky. #
@ahockley I’ve been using Twitter since July of 2006 - for two years. And even considering their recent problems, yes, I call it proven. #
@ahockley Funny, I’ve had the opposite experience. Twitter has been fine for me, but I’ve had nothing but problems with identi.ca. #

Got an awesome idea for a blog post I’m going to try to write up today. I love how easily ideas flow in the early morning, half-awake. #
@SarahCofer I think you’re referring to profilactic.com. It’s a cool service, but right now, I’d recommend FriendFeed for the same purpose. #
To my Twitter followers: You really should check out FriendFeed, to hedge your bets against the times Twitter is down. #
Friend does everything Twitter does (minus SMS), and so much more! I’m http://friendfeed.com/jabancroft. Come follow me there! #
@jkwatson Re: FriendFeed noise - you can mute/hide people and types of updates you don’t want. And when has Twitter IM ever worked? #
Ii still love Twitter. My network here is huge. But it breaks my heart that it’s gotten so unusable. And FriendFeed really IS a superset. #
@jkwatson Yeah, I think you nailed the problem. Twitter isn’t fulfilling my Twitter needs anymore, either. #
@marcuspat You’re right, Twitter isn’t going away. And I’m not going to stop using it. It’s going to remain my microposter of choice. But… #
I’m taking a wider, tubes-based approach. If we take the conversation to the FF level, we can still interact while Twitter’s down. #
I hope to have a post up later today about how I use various “tubes”, like Twitter, to post things, and use FF as a place to read/discuss. #
@raster Yes, Twitter’s simplicity can be seen as a feature. So could the Fail Whale. Twitter is SUPER simple then! #
I staked my claim: http://identi.ca. The site is already slow from the exodus of Twitter people. I still encourage you to use FriendFeed. #
Oops. Meant that I’m http://identi.ca/jabancroft. I’d still rather you subscribe to me on FriendFeed, so it doesn’t matter what tube I use. #
Finding identi.ca people to subscribe to by searching on FriendFeed to see who tweeted that they’re on identi.ca now. And tweeting about it. #
@exprexxo @blogan @jerry_makare Sorry I missed that Intelpedia meeting. I was recording a Bit Stories podcast with @bljarv and lost track. #
@michaelbiven I think you can opt out of Creative Commons on identi.ca, but I can’t seem to find the option. Maybe at signup time? #
@jkwatson Look for the “hide” link next to items on FriendFeed. Only works on the website, not the iPhone version or fftogo.com. #
Interesting that I’m getting new Twitter followers at about the same rate as I’m getting new identi.ca followers (maybe 10 or so today). #

So, iPhone people, now that launch day details are out (8 AM on 7/11), the question is: Line up, or no? #
I predict plenty of iPhone supply, so it won’t be necessary to line up to get one, but I’m considering it as a fun, social, geek experience. #
@mattg I always have stuff to read with me - that’s what my Kindle and iPhone are for! #
Watching the AT&T video walkthroughs of the activation process for existing and new iPhone owners: http://tinyurl.com/6l3pwb #
@samgrover Re: the Intel discount working on iPhones now, I don’t know. It would be nice, but I don’t think it’ll happen… #
@jmoriarty I’ve existed at Intel without IT support for years. To me they just provide infrastructure (net, email, power). That’s just me. #
@jmoriarty I have no idea how IT accounts for “DIY” people like me. Ideally, I should cost less for them to support. Wonder how that works? #
@rachelbancroft Au contraire! Your Birks are just the right personal “I’m from Eugene” touch in your “suburban soccer mom” image. #
@cecilwalker Oh, I know IT does all those things (helpdesk, custom apps, etc.). I was in Intel IT for years. I just don’t use any of them #
@jmoriarty re: IT innovation being driven by customers pushing on them, even though their focus is stability - that sounds about right. #
@reidab Yes, the Ignite Portland 3 slides are on SlideShare: http://www.slideshare.net/igniteportland/slideshows #
Microsoft Remote Desktop 2.0 for Mac has been released (been using the beta of this useful app for a while): http://tinyurl.com/63ty3o #
I just had an epiphany! Want to know the REAL reason Intel isn’t deploying Vista? Because NetMeeting is no longer available. #
@Jmartens Silicon wafers are round because they’re created from big columns of silicon that are sliced into wafers http://tinyurl.com/6hr835 #
@Jmartens Go read the comments to that old blog post I linked - they give great reasons why silicon wafers are not square. #
@Jmartens And I just replied to your comment on the 18 month old post on my blog, with hopefully a little more explanation. #
@rodfather Welcome to the FriendFeed club! “One of us! One of us!” #
Bummed I won’t make it to the Legion of Talk tonight with @garyvee, but I know LoT has a hit on their hands. Have fun, everyone! #
Just hacked the new and improved Google Site Search into my blog, http://www.tinyscreenfuls.com. Lemme know if it broke anything. #

@verso I’m telling ya, that loser Twitter’s no good for you. Keep your options open, come to the FriendFeed party. The conversation goes on! #
@rgunjan Which marketing book? Hope it wasn’t one I recommended! #
@rgunjan OK, phew. Feel free to tell me if my book recommendations ever suck, so I can reconsider recommending them! #
No way! Brian, my longtime friend, podcast co-host, and fellow blogger (umpcgeek.com) has finally joined Twitter! @bljarv Welcome, Brian! #
@marusin I was pushing @bljarv hard on both Twitter and FriendFeed last week, on and off the show. I’m sure he’ll join FF soon! #
@shadowbottle Use summize.com, with the parameter “from:yourtwittername” to search your own tweets. #
@donpdonp I haven’t used SocialThing very much, but IME, it seems like a less-featured FriendFeed. Anyone know what makes it special? #
@jmartens The Strands alpha is pretty cool, but as of now, it lacks social gravity for me: not enough of my network is there yet. #
Yay! Now Brian’s on FriendFeed, too. Go subscribe to him! http://friendfeed.com/bljarv #
Got my SHO back from the shop today. Coolant leak fixed, O2 sensors and temp sending unit replaced, which should help my MPG a LOT. #
I wonder how long it’s going to be until people stop roving through the new Intel JF1 offices, talking loudly, as if they were tour guides? #
Mac OS X 10.5.4 is out. Anyone install it yet? I’m going to give it a try. Warn me if you had a bad experience! #
Shozu for iPhone is coming (great app to upload photos to tons of photo services like Flickr)? Do want! http://tinyurl.com/5g2byp #
Trying out Alert Thingy (integrated Twitter/FriendFeed client) again, now that I’m using FriendFeed more. Is it better than Twhirl? We’l … #
Why did Twhirl just Favorite a whole screen full of Tweets? And continue to do so for incoming tweets? #
Oh. The “star” in Twhirl doesn’t mean “Favorited”, like it does in the rest of the world. It means “unread”. Of course… :-/ #
And since Twhirl does Twitter AND FriendFeed, why can’t I get them in a unified view, a la Alert Thingy? With Twitter de-duping, a la same? #
@bljarv Twhirl and Alert Thingy are both cross platform, since they run on Adobe AIR. I’m trying both how, as a way to integrate FF better. #
Now trying a Fluid “site specific browser” for FriendFeed, using the Google Gadget URL, instead of Twhirl or Alert Thingy. Not bad so far. #
@jmoriarty I’m doing lots of experimenting to see where FriendFeed fits into my information lifestyle. Will share the results, for sure! #
FriendFeed just launched an iPhone interface! http://friendfeed.com/iphone. Playing with it now, but so far, it is Teh Hot. #
@mattg You’re right. You can use either http://friendfeed.com/i, or http://friendfeed.com/iphone/ (with the trailing slash). Nice catch! #
You will also automatically get redirected to the iPhone interface if you go to friendfeed.com on an iPhone. Other URLs are for other brwsrs #
At the Green Dragon, early, for the LoT board meeting. Anyone else here yet? #
Great Legion of Tech strategy meeting tonight, talking about “what we want to be when we grow up”. My first time at the Green Dragon, too. #
The sunset was really interesting tonight, with the haze. The sun hung fat and orange above the horizon. #

So, how long before we have a really good FriendFeed app for the iPhone? I mean, I love Twitterrific and all, but FF has become essential. #
Hey! I just noticed I passed my 2000th post on TinyScreenfuls.com a few days ago. Look, a milestone! #
My blog, TinyScreenfuls.com, will turn 5 years old in a couple of months. Barely younger than my oldest daughter. That’s weird. #
Let’s see… 2000 posts over about 5 years = average of more than 1 post per day. Lately my daily Twitter digest has been padding that, tho. #
@sarahcofer I do my lifestream (joshbancroft.com) and my linkblog (linkblog.joshbancroft.com) using http://soup.io #
Hey Portland - get ready. Doppler radar at wund.com shows a BIG thunderstorm coming. Flashes and rumbles out here already. Power flickered. #
I love thunderstorms. Wish we had more of them in Oregon, for as much as it rains here. #
Stormwatching is a different experience when I can watch live Doppler radar to see where the storm is, and get live updates from Twitter. #
All from my iPhone, while sitting on the porch and watching the storm the old fashioned way. THIS is why I love technology! #
@jmartens As I understand PersonalTelco, they don’t necessarily pay for all of the hotspots, but recruit volunteers to host/create them, too #
@jmartens no, you can volunteer to be a node for PersonalTelco. They advocate that. They don’t just list any old hotspot. Growing a network. #
@jmartens for example, the free wifi at Powell’s and Cedar Hills Crossing mall in Bvtn? That’s PersonalTelco. #
@jmartens Have you read Doctorow’s “Someone Comes to Town…”? A volunteer-based free wifi network like the one in the book is their goal. #

Psst! Hey, want to know a secret? Intel skipped over Windows ME, too! #
Was all excited to go see Wall-E tonight, but @rachelbancroft said she doesn’t really want to. Totally jealous of everyone who goes. #
OH: “No, our computer can’t possibly have a virus. We use Windows Vista. VISTA!” #
Recorded an episode of Bit Stories with Brian earlier, listening/editing/writing show notes now. #
@kellyrfeller Thanks! It was a fun interview. I love to talk about my Kindle! I’ll blog the whole text of it soon. I wrote lots more! #
@Jerry_Makare Yay! Welcome to FriendFeed, Jerry! Have fun, and show me anything cool you find! #
Hey, imagine that! I got this weeks episode of Bit Stories edited, annotated, uploaded, and out the door! Yay! http://tinyurl.com/5ldc45 #

Breakfast of Champions: free Mt Dew from Intel, and a bag of bulk Sour Patch Kids from WinCo. Ah, sugar; my muse, my enemy, my fuel… #
@Jerry_Makare Thanks, I think, for the Mario Batali comparison. But just so everyone knows, he swiped the orange Crocs thing from me! #
Oops. I had accidentally posted that last logged in as @pulseofintel. That’s what I get for having multiple Twitter personas. #
Well, it only took a day for the “Intel says no to Windows Vista” news to spread ALL OVER Twitter and FriendFeed. #
@lightingdiva Do it. You won’t regret switching. You can even run Windows (Vista or XP) in a virtual machine if you *really( need it. #
@banannie Another reason I don’t like Plurk. The term “Plurk-up” is just GROSS. #
@Jerry_Makare I know who Mario is. I just have a make believe grudge against him for biting my “orange Crocs” style. #
I’m hungry. No car today (mine’s still in the shop), and I’m still boycotting the Intel cafeterias. Guess that means Cup Noodles again! #
Booking my travel/hotel for SIGGRAPH2008 in L.A. in August. #
@davechen Intel’s doing a blogger meetup at SIGGRAPH, to show off some cool new Larrabee stuff. Wanna come? #
@JoshProStar No, it’s not possible to Twitter too much. Just look at my tweet count. Or @scobleizer’s. #
@davechen It’s on the 12th, at the conference. Email me (joshua.bancroft AT intel.com) and I’ll get you on the list, send details, etc. #
@jezlyn Kindle tip: use the “sleep” mode to lock keys (cool photos!). Get free books from manybooks.net, feedbooks, Creative Commons, etc. #
@marusin You bought a Kindle? Again? I knew you couldn’t stay away for long. Welcome (back) to the club! #
@blath re: lunch delivery it doesn’t work so well out in the suburbs, at a giant company’s campus. Not many options, hard to give driections #
@blath but if I’m going to keep up my Intel cafe boycott, I should probably look into delivery options. Thanks for the idea! #
@SarahCofer you’re looking for something to record a video stream? There are some apps that do that. Or a screen recorder app like CamStudio #
@SarahCofer link to CamStudio (free, open source Windows screen recording software): http://camstudio.org. Takes some experimentation. #
@bobduffy I don’t know what book @mediumtall referred to, but if there’s one book of principles to build a community on, it’s Cluetrain. #
@bobduffy Subject to Change sounds interesting. I’ll have to check it out (even more likely if they have a Kindle version!) Thanks! #
@kegill @SarahCofer yes, SnapzPro is a good screen recorder for Mac. I use and love iShowU ($20), and people RAVE about ScreenFlow ($99). #
@verso You’re getting Twitter 503 errors because too many people in Portland are tweeting, and summoning the Failwhale. #
Toying around with the idea of turning my iPhone 1.0 into my house’s webserver/SSH tunnel after I get an iPhone 3G. Geek plusity plus! #
@ahockley I am. Are you the gatekeeper? #
Just created a profile for myself on Whoisi, because @davewiner said all the cool kids were doing it. http://whoisi.com/p/759 #
@blath Yeah, I’m not sure how whoisi will handle malicious/unwanted edits. Seems open like a wiki, maybe the same community quality model? #

Welcome another really smart Intel person to Twitter - @JoshProStar. He runs the Open Port vPro Expert Center: http://tinyurl.com/4xnbrr #
Someone tell @JoshProStar (I can’t D him yet) that he can find more Intel people to follow by looking at who @pulseofintel follows. #
@jmoriarty Thou shalt leave no beehive un-kicked, man. Beehives are EEVIL. #
Huh. FluidApp (http://fluidapp.com/) is actually pretty cool (build site-specific browser “widgets”). Going to experiment with it. #
Guess what? I’m reading the internal Intel blogs again. Had to install FeedDemon in my Windows VM, since the feed won’t work otherwise. #
So, my Intel Twitter peers, what are the good internal feeds I should subscribe to (besides the main blog feed). D me or email me with ideas #
@bobduffy Those are the external feeds, right? I’ve got all of those (but that’s a cool pipe - thanks for sharing! #
Excellent post from @kenekaplan on what the “Intel Insiders” program is and isn’t about. Thanks, Ken! http://tinyurl.com/6yak3k #
Enjoying some Cup Noodles for lunch, in honor of @grigs’s awesome #ip3 presentation: http://tinyurl.com/3hftvt #
Wha? My buttons/links to “Like” and “Comment” something in FriendFeed just disappeared. Is FF getting flaky like Twitter? I just got here! #
@turoczy Who are you talking to? Intel hearts Macs, man! I’ve had one as my main Intel machine for almost 2 years. #
Oh, dear. I’m digging around in the documentation for the FriendFeed and Twitter APIs. Mulling a Google App Engine app to sync contacts… #
@donpdonp I only ever found one Windows .exe that doesn’t work at all. Now, if only I knew JSON! Should be easy to diff friends lists… #
@turoczy In that case, I’d like to lobby to have my Intel salary increased by “$0″. #
Ruh roh! The NYTimes picked up on the fact that Intel decided NOT to deploy Windows Vista, but stick with XP. http://tinyurl.com/4md6rk #
@LeStew Go read the article. I’m not going to offer my opinion on Vista. I don’t speak for my employer, et cetera, et cetera… #
Are you a javascript person? @juliejulie sends word that her husband, @nosredna, launched a blog for JS developers http://tinyurl.com/4zsfcf #
Just commiserated on the phone with @britopian about internal communications hurdles, silos, and the vagaries and challenges of life @ Intel #
@turoczy I would say that “viral passalong” is a term from the Department of Public Health and Safety. #
@lightingdiva It will be interesting to see what the longer term consequences of skipping Vista are. ‘Course, I skipped Vista for a Mac. #

Driving Rachel’s car today, used to be our only car (2002 Subaru WRX wagon). Every time I drive it I’m reminded of how much I love it. #
@marccanter4real Tell FriendFeed to import your Twitter, then it’s automatically in both places. #
I think FriendFeed has developed enough social gravity in my world that I’m going to start paying more than sporadic attention to it. #
I’ve let FriendFeed raid my Gmail contacts to find people, but I’m still missing some. Is there a way to let it raid Twitter contacts? #
I wish there was a way on FriendFeed to track what I’ve already read, and what’s new. #
@mattg What FriendFeed, um, feed do you subscribe to? Everything from all of your friends? Firehose! What filtering do you use? #
Just had to replace the batteries in my Apple Wireless Keyboard (the slim aluminum one) for the first time since I got it in February. #
I really, really need a way to tell FriendFeed to add the 470 people I follow on Twitter. Diff-ing the list by hand is killing me… #
@mnology Thanks for the tip. FF says that app is broken, and it’s Windows only, but thanks for thinking of me. Oh, I’m following you now. #
@mnology More like “you bank on the Twitter API, you lose.” #
And of course, it’s all tied in to my linkblog, FriendFeed, Facebook, etc. I’m all about connecting stuff together today! Also, Hype Machine #
So apparently Intel is launching some big “Brand Ambassador”/blogger thing. I’m hearing about it first from Twitter. See anything broken? #
@chrisheuer How come I’m hearing about this Intel blogger thing from my Summize/Twitter search feeds? Seems like a communication FAIL. #
Let me amend. I’m not claiming that Intel should advise me of everything it does in “social media”. But why leave employees out of it? #
Or maybe it was just me, and all the other Intel employees that are active in this stuff were clued in. In which case, I’ll shut up and cry. #
@jmoriarty Yeah, I guess S&M has gotten widespread enough at Intel that I can’t keep up with all of it. BTW, social media = S&M from now on! #
Am I the last person to discover http://fftogo.com, an awesome mobile interface for FriendFeed? It’s beautiful on the iPhone. Bookmarked! #
Just came across something hilariously ironic about Intel that I don’t think I can blog externally. Might move me to post internally. #
@turoczy Interesting that you import your tweets into FriendFeed via the Twitter RSS feed, instead of the API. Is there a reason/advantage? #
Today has been a very interesting day. FriendFeed has sucked me in, big time. Crack-like rush to the brain, compulsive checking, and all. #
More info on the “Intel insiders”: http://tinyurl.com/5wanh5. It was a good idea when I suggested it 2+ years ago, too. No sour grapes here! #
I suggested an “ambassadors” program to the guy who does Intel’s ad buys in early 2006. I guess I’m glad they finally implemented it. #
In case you were wondering, I did, in fact, come up with every good internet idea Intel has ever had, and will take credit for same. #
@intelinsider I’m a little worried at the lack of transparency. How bout a post explaining it, and a list of bloggers so we can follow them? #
@JF10 What makes you say Ambassador programs suck? Honest question - I’d like to know why. #
@gwalter Dude, Google bought Jaiku in Oct. of last year: http://tinyurl.com/2xny52 I don’t go to their website often, either, but dang! #
@chartier How will we be able to identify the second printing of @applehacks (besides your bio being there)? I want to get the right one. #
Just spent HOURS adding people I follow on Twitter to FriendFeed. BY HAND. There are still gaps. That sucked. Data Portability, anyone? #
