Dave Winer Pays Comcast 3 Million Dollars

Published

on January 27, 2006

And you thought YOUR cable bill was high; Dave got a receipt from Comcast for $3,030,000.00. He posted a screenshot to Flickr.

Not a bill, but a statement showing he paid that much. Comcast claims it was a glitch. I’m sure we’ve all had something like this happen to us at one time or another - remember my recent travails with Verizon, with their order system repeatedly insisting that I didn’t exist as a customer?

Sure, we may just sigh, and roll our eyes, or laugh, but Dave makes an important point:

I asked for a refund. The operator laughed. I said it was not funny.
This crazy system we’re building is going to melt down one day.

Amen!

@psteinb If you’re looking for video size/encoding standards, I can tell you more than you ever wanted to know. Ping me? #
I really wish the GDC people would stop spamming me. I’ve tried multiple times to unsubscribe from their lists. Getting really irritating. #
I’m cranky this morning. Too much email does that to me. Need to lighten up - I’m doing a "Twitter Boot Camp" with the ISN team in 1 hr. #
@BrianEnigma Thanks for the retweet/plug for my Twitter Fu post! #
It’s going to be HOT in the Portland area today. I could tell when I left the house this AM, and it was already like 75 degrees F… #
@psteinb Oh, we’ll definitely be talking about integrating Twitter with the rest of your online life. And that’s in my blog post, too. #
@ajaymm And we’re looking forward to sucking you into (erm, I mean "welcoming") into the Twittersphere. #
@ajaymm I’m actually surprised it’s taken this long. #
@amybarton Don’t worry. There will be Twitter Boot Camp repeats. And I’m blogging all of the material I plan to share. We’ll hook you up! #
Doing a Twitter Boot Camp with the ISN team. Some great discussion - wish you were all here! #
Twitter Boot Camp went well, I thought. Lots of good questions and debate. Hope what I shared was helpful. Will do more of these, for sure! #
@ahockley Yes, LoT knows that igniteportland.com is up and down. @selenamarie is dealing with it. It’s an issue at the web host. #
Does anyone else find it ironic and irritating that Richard M. Frickin’ Stallman’s blog on fsf.org doesn’t have an RSS feed? Really? #
@psteinb The 140 char limit comes from the 160 char limit of SMS text messages. Leave, say, 20 chars for names, etc., and you have 140 chars #
Just dipped into my Summize search feed for "Intel", and it looks like people are abuzz about a rumored Intel Atom-powered iPhone device. #
Ah, the age old "Apple Tablet" rumor. How I wish it comes true some day! http://tinyurl.com/64nrzq #
@skyler But imagine something like the iPhone, but with, say, a 7 or 9 inch screen? I’d buy one in a heartbeat. #
@DivaDanese Yeah, I know RSS is too newfangled for RMS, but they call it a blog, fer cryin’ out loud! http://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/ #
Hungry. Worked through lunch. Again. Thank goodness for free Mountain Dew! #
@influxx Yeah. Imagine if Amazon made Kindle a software app that could run on your iPhone, computer, or whatever. Awesomeness. #
Sometimes I hate web statistics/metrics. They can be used for good or evil, or fixated on to a completely irrational degree. *sigh* #

Working from home today. @rachelbancroft is on Emma’s preschool zoo trip. Gabe and I holding down the fort at home. #
@isle Kindle honeymoon is definitely not over. I carry it with me everywhere. Only downside is that I wish I had more time to read on it! #
@oregoniansteve my definition of Twitter? Ambient intimacy. #
Yay! The Firefox 3-compatible version of the myVidoop password manager addon is available. Thanks guys! http://tinyurl.com/5gswmy #
@conroyl To tweet from a Kindle, use the web browser (under "Experimental" on the menu), and go to m.twitter.com. #
Trying out the updated myVidoop Password Manager plugin, now that it works in Firefox 3. It’s bliss, I tell you. It just works. So happy. #
@conroyl To reply to me (or anyone) by just typing @theirusername. That’s all the more complicated Twitter replies are. #
Gotta write up some stuff for my "Twitter Boot Camp" I’m giving the ISN team tomorrow. Will share materials, poss. do more of these later. #
Just posted a HUGE post on "advanced Twitter Fu" techniques - let me know what you think, and what I missed: http://tinyurl.com/5hla4f #
And of course, Stumble/magnolia/DIgg love, if you think it deserves it, would be much appreciated. http://tinyurl.com/5hla4f #
@Ceedee Thanks. You’re more than welcome to not agree with me! It’s boring when everyone agrees with me. #
@verso Very good points. Can I get you to drop it in a comment, so it’s part of the discussion? Thanks! #
@charlieanzman Yes, there’s definitely an element of getting to know new people by watching who your followers converse with. Good point. #
BTW, I had a very specific audience in mind for that Advanced Twitter post, but I posted it for everyone to read, in case it’s helpful. #
@Tad Of course. Hahlo rocks! I especially love the new H3 release. Thank you for doing it! #
@turoczy Point them to my latest post on "advanced Twitter Fu", which links to an older "beginners" post I did (/end shameless plug) #
@Tad Wait, I think I mistook you for the guy who wrote Hahlo. Either way, Hahlo rocks, and I’m an idiot sometimes. #
To clarify, I’m not saying "only follow people you know IRL" on Twitter. I’m saying "don’t follow people you have no idea who they are". #
@verso thanks for jumping into the conversation. This is why I love this stuff! Smart people make me smarter, I try to reciprocate. Fun! #
@Scobleizer That’s a great quote. It just got added/linked while I was updating the part of my post talking about rules for following. #
@metafluence Umm, I hoped this was a fluke, but http://www.igniteportland.com crashes Firefox3beta5 (Mac) hard every time I try to go there… #
In any case, did you hear that you have two weeks to submit your preso ideas for Ignite Portland 3? Get cracking! http://tinyurl.com/5yb6b6 #
@mattg @metafluence It’s probably my browser/plugins. Don’t worry about it. I’ll figure it out. #
OK, I’ve got to go help @rachelbancroft fold the laundry and get to bed. Good night Twitterverse! I’ll check for new comments in the AM! #

Morning, Twitter. Hope you had a good weekend. My family was sick all day yesterday. Bummer, but we still had a nice Mother’s Day. You? #
@verso Yeah, that Oregonian article was pretty cool. We gotta keep working on Mike Rogoway and get him on Twitter! #
@verso Oh, I’ve been working on him. It’s only a matter of time. Will recruit help/stalkers as necessary. #
@mellowynk That’s why I always carry my iPhone (for feeds and Twitter) and my Kindle (for books) with me. I can’t stand being w/o reading! #
@kenekaplan Looking forward to your ISEF coverage. Have fun, and tell us about the cool stuff there! #
@Britopian Good question (how do you measure conversations). Be more specific? How do you measure trust? Love? Friendship? Similar concepts. #
The Intel Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) is going on this week Super smart kids. Get updates by following @isef08. #
@Britopian My point exactly. #
@memathews From what I’ve heard neither the Intel people nor the plant in Chengdu had any serious problems. Good news… #
I’m going to go over and mute @psteinb’s copy of Twhirl that he’s left running. The beeping is driving me crazy! #
@ahockley WHOIS is your friend in those cases, I would think. #
@ahockley Do what the RIAA/MPAA do: contact the host (WordPress), and DEMAND that they hand over all the personal details of the offender. #
@ahockley No, no. You threaten to sue for millions. Then ask how much savings he has. Then offer to settle for exactly that much. #
@ahockley Actually, call the police and put them in jail. Copyright infringement is now a CRIMINAL act: http://tinyurl.com/6z84gk #
@ISEF08 It would be cool if your blog post tweets didn’t waste 17 chars with "wordpress update". Maybe "new post" or something? #
Checking out the new iPhone version of Google Reader. It’s beta, and a separate URL from the old one. And awesome! http://tinyurl.com/6qhro4 #
@psteinb Try "publishing" the Yahoo Pipe - make it public. There may be some issue there that’s causing your problem. #
@ejacqui You’re engaged? Dude, @clint is going to be pissed! #
Just saw the trailer for the new Adam Sandler movie, "You Don’t Mess With The Zohan". Looks pretty funny. #
@dnorton Heh. My standards are not high for Sandler movies. #
@dnorton I’m so backlogged on movies, I’ll likely never see that Sandler flick. Gotta see Iron Man, Speed Racer, Hancock, etc. first. #
KGW, the local OTA NBC broadcast channel, lost all audio a few minutes ago. Other channels fine. How can I enjoy American Gladiators? #
All right, you American Gladiators snobs. I switched over to Antiques Roadshow. Is that sufficiently intellectual and eliteist? #
I like American Gladiators as background noise/train wreck factor. Just don’t let @rachelbancroft know that Dancing with the Stars is on! #

At the farmer’s market. You know what that means: kettle korn! I hear @motherpopper’s around somewhere. #

@Jmartens Where in Beaverton did Obama end up going? #
@jmoriarty @billpearson @ajaymm Come to the Twitter Boot Camp next week. We’ll get EVERYONE using Twitter. It’s going to rock! #
@SharonG This particular Twitter Boot Camp is for a particular audience, but I’ll likely start doing open-invitation ones soon. Stay tuned! #
@geekygirldawn @selenamarie Yeah, GoDaddy can go DIAF right about now. Thanks, Selena, for straightening it out! You rock! #
Quote of the day (from a discussion on how tired the term "social media" is): "It’s not social if someone owns it." #
I’d point you to a blog post I just wrote (with a funny video!) on how I’m starting to hate the term "social media", but mediatemple is down #
Mediatemple’s up for the moment, so here’s that post on "I’m starting to hate the term social media": http://tinyurl.com/5tvtgq #
@rodfather I’m relieved that you still follow me. Glad I changed my tagline to "storyteller" from "social media evangelist". #
@rodfather LOL if I ever do, you have permission to shoot me and take all of my toys. #
@bethlubov TweetScan is down? Bummer. Try using Summize.com instead. #
@skyler I scoff in the general direction of your despisal of my hatred of social media. #
@skyler I’m not on GoDaddy. 1and1 for names, mediatemple for hosting. Maybe shopping around if they don’t get their act together. #
Turns out the Beaverton software company where Obama made his surprise appearance was Vernier, not Inspiration. http://tinyurl.com/5m8nug #
@jmartens You totally called Vernier. Good guess! #
@timdorr Thanks. I checked out ASO before, when I was shopping for hosting. Can’t remember why I didn’t pick it. Will look into it! #
Oh, fun. Nvidia’s CEO has been ranting about Intel to CNET again: http://tinyurl.com/6mrprt #
@sumwan Oh, I don’t. Sometimes I wish our CEO wasn’t so mild-mannered, though, so we could see some real sparks fly. #
@Jerry_Makare false advertising! I came over to Merlot to partake in the Nerf warfare, and you weren’t there! #
ZOMG Vernier Software, where Obama was this morning, is literally about 2 blocks from where I used to live in Beaverton. Small world! #
A dozen nice photos of Obama’s Beaverton visit from the Oregonian on Flickr: http://tinyurl.com/6ydbnz #
@timdorr Do shared hosting accts on A Small Orange have SSH/shell access? Can’t find it listed on the site. #
@timdorr How well does ASO handle WordPress? I run about a dozen WP sites, mostly low traffic, with one that gets about 5000 hits/day. #
@timdorr Thanks for your answers, BTW. It’s looking more and more likely that you’re getting a new customer. #
@Jerry_Makare My life would be incomplete if a Dance War between Intel’s and Nvidia’s CEOs happened, and I wasn’t there to shoot video. #
@timdorr I definitely run caching. #
@billpearson Would love to get a debrief of that wiki conversation. #
@kellyrfeller Not big brother. Mashups that enable stuff like this: http://pulseofpdx.com and this: http://pulseofintel.tweetpeek.com #
@kellyrfeller If you’d prefer to opt out of the @pulseofintel conversation stream, feel free to block it. You have control of your tweets. #
@kellyrfeller That’s a good point. Twitter is open by default - anyone can follow you. Do you vet each one of your followers? #
@kellyrfeller I just assume Twitter is a public broadcast medium, and don’t say anything I wouldn’t say to the whole world. #
@kellyrfeller Sun is great. It’s nice and cool, too. Thanks! Bummed I’m not going to see Iron Man, though. #
Man, @steverubel really brings the flow. I’ve had a ton of new comments on my "i hate social media" post since he tweeted about it. #
@memathews She knows how to block/protect. We were just discussing the creepy potential for HR Twitter stalking, etc. #
@memathews Busy tonight (no babysitting, either), and I want to see Iron Man first, but go forth and Tweetup for Speed Racer! Have fun! #
Oh man. Emma barfed ALL OVER @rachelbancroft at Baja Fresh a while ago. It was epic. I felt so bad for both of them. Now, home and baths. #

@hungryclone Not sure who you’re talking to about Mario Kart, but everyone I know that has played it loves it. Best game on the Wii today. #
@johnfischer I wish the rest of the stickers were StickerGiant stickers. I’m a big fan. #
@mellowynk I would say "Are you threatweeting me?!" #
@ahockley They were wax beans, weren’t they. #
@psteinb It’s about time we got a blog post out of you! #
@psteinb Deoends on where "ISC" means. What URL, specifically? There’s no separate blog for ISC that I know of. #
@billpearson I find a happy compromise - I tweet about work. #
@SharonG @gwalter Um, the AmazonMP3 Download automatically adds purchased MP3s to iTunes, Windows Media, etc. I love it buy there frequently #
@psteinb Yes, you can apply any and all relevant categories to a blog post. #

Played a little Mario Kart last night. I SUCK at the bikes. Can’t keep them off the walls. And I keep getting killed online. Embarrassing #
I keep hearing such good things about Boom Blox on Twitter, Penny Arcade, and from @benkuchera at Ars that I’m going to have to pick it up. #
@rigeek Did you send me your friend code? Mine is 0302 0226 1424. Would love to play some time! (That goes for anyone else, too.) #
@natetrue Yeah, I’ve been meaning to register my friend code with them. Thanks! #
@wii Mario Kart 0302-0226-1424 #
@billpearson I can guarantee that buying every Intel employee an iPhone would have a (positive) impact on the quality of MIDs. Great idea! #
@psteinb It would only need to support Exchange Activesync, which is built into the Exchange servers. I used to use it under pilot. Simple. #
I really, really wish I could stay logged in to MediaTemple via SSH for more than 5 seconds. I need to tar up some files for @selenamarie… #
I don’t know whether to blame Intel’s flaky proxies, or mediatemple. I’ll blame both, just to be safe. #
@Skawtnyc It’s not timing out, the connection just goes dead after a random interval. Then I have to try 2 or 3 times to get back in. *sigh* #
On the upside, I’m getting good and typing "tar -cvzf igniteportland.com.tar.gz ./*" as fast as I can. #
Yay! I made it! That’s almost as exciting as winning on Mario Kart! #
@psteinb I have no idea if Intel IT plans to support the iPhone or not. But when the 2.0 OS drops next month, a TON of us will want it. #
@andrewhyde Do you mean that Twitter Tools posts are having blank categories? I never had that problem. I have duplicate post problems. #
@andrewhyde I was messing around with assigning a different category, and excluding it from my feed. Hope you find a fix! #

Ever drive by or eat at Oney’s restaurant on Hwy 26, on the way to the coast? Well, it burned down. http://tinyurl.com/3pcktn #
@psteinb I know nothing about the disappearance of that video, I promise! I’ve still got it if you want another copy. #

Thank you to everyone who has shared kind words with me in the last 12 hours or so. I love you guys! #
Here’s why I can’t make myself stop using Twitteriffic, and switch to Twhirl, Alert Thingy, or Spaz - it uses Growl for notifications. #
I want to love the other AIR-based Twitter clients, but Growl notifications are so pretty! (Especially with the iPhone theme.) #
@funkatron I’ll install whatever you tell me to. #
Yay! The new Google Reader Shared Item Notes get preserved perfectly in my linkblog (which runs on soup.io) http://linkblog.joshbancroft.com #
@verso It’s a close call between Tumblr and soup. Soup lets me have more than 5 feeds. It doesn’t auto-tuncate stuff. It’s ajaxy and pretty. #
@tokerud Honestly, Google Reader killed del.icio.us for me YEARS ago. I haven’t used it in ages. The new Notes are just icing on the cake. #
@funkatron How well would that work behind an HTTP proxy (like me at work)? I’ll help you test it if you want. #
@influxx You can make Twhirl not QUITE so ugly - pick a darker theme, change the font to Verdana 12 (I think). But Twitterific IS prettier. #
Another thing I love about Twitterrific (that other clients could copy easily): Cmd+2 to reply and Cmd+D to direct message someone. #
And something that bugs me about soup.io: it takes hours, if not a day or so, to update the RSS feed that it generates. Boo! #
@funkatron Yes, I know. But Spaz isn’t ugly to begin with, like Twhirl. #
@RichSPK It’s not that different keyboard shortcuts are better, per se, but that they’re DIFFERENT. Muscle memory is hard to relearn. #
@tokerud Do whatever works best for you - delicious is still an awesome service. Competition among these is good for us! #
@billpearson You’re right - my web connection just blows today. I hate it when the Intel proxies get cranky like this! #
Dear Twitter: Isn’t there a keyboard shortcut in iTunes to jump directly to the Search box? It’s really annoying to have to mouse up there. #
@Irek You’re right - Tab does sort of work to get to the search box in iTunes. Depends on where focus is to start. Thanks! #
What other web awards are out there, besides the Webbys, WebVisionary, and SXSW/Adobe? #
@eeUS Thanks! @influxx thanks for FWA, too. I’ll check it out. Keep em coming! #
@Jerry_Makare Ooh, that looks interesting. I’d love to see the ISN Take Five video site win some awards! #
@kellyrfeller The new Intel.com doesn’t work at all (past the "Pick a Country" page) on BlackBerries and my Kindle. #
@kellyrfeller I’m also told it doesn’t work at all if you have Flash disabled. #
Whoa. FriendFeed picked up a Google Reader Note and turned it into a FriendFeed comment. That was cool - @scobleizer, did you hear that? #
@kellyrfeller @sharong I tested the new Intel.com on my iPhone, and it actually works pretty well, even without Flash. #
@ahockley Oh? How should Intel use Silverlight. Do tell! #
@psteinb has swiped my little Aiptek video camera, and is going around ambushing people in their cube’s for interivews. #
Including me - I was the first one he ambushed. #
Oooh. @chartier sez that Brightkite’s iPhone version of the site is finally available. I’ll have to to play with it. #
@smb Look at http://friendfeed.com/jabancroft/comments That comment on the Little Brother item came from a note I wrote in GReader. #
@smb Yeah, it would be cool if GReader did it. But since FriendFeed does it, you could just comment over there. #
The BrightKite iPhone website works. It’s pretty. But I want it to grab my location from the phone, and offer 1-click checkin. I’m greedy! #
Hey Twitter - how do I replace the audio track of a Quicktime movie using Quicktime Pro? I’ve extracted and editing, now I need to replace. #
A ha! "Add to Selection and Scale" does it! Woo hoo! Now I can fix audio tracks in Levelator! Me= happy. #
@Jerry_Makare You gotta come see this audio wizardry we’re doing. #
@annierodkins Prune your Twitter list mercilessly. Go through it, and remove anyone where you have to think "who is this person?". Trust me. #
Wow. My whole Twitter UI (web) is in Japanese, all of a sudden, too! #
@jmoriarty what was the Ignite Phoenix URL? I haven’t heard of one there. You should do one! #
@jmoriarty you’re right - that doesnt look anything like an Ignite or pecha kucha event. You should still do one. Just call it smthng else. #

@chippy try QuickTime Pro for editing that MP4 file. Its simple, cheap ($30), and works WAY better than Windows Movie Maker. #

Something I find far more entertaining/amusing than I should: watching marketing people scheme to exploit "social media". #
@kellyrfeller I’m not TRYING to be negative, but the sheer amount of marketing buzzwords, and complete lack of talk of humans is dismaying. #
@kellyrfeller "There is NO demand for marketing messages." I’m not anti business or anti marketing. I’m pro Cluetrain. #
@kellyrfeller And yes, I DO remember the web before there were ANY corporate sites and ads. Do you? What was it like? Was it worth anything? #
@Britopian @kellyfeller I put my emphasis on CONNECTING with REAL HUMANS. That’s what I value. What do I do that you consider exploitation? #
I just said: I’m NOT anti-marketing. But there’s a right way and wrong way to do it. Right = respect and connect with humans. #
@kellyrfeller I’d love to debate you on this. #
@Britopian But everything you write, on blog or Twitter, it seems, is all about marketing and "social media". What’s social about that? #
My problem with marketers abusing "social media" is that they treat it as "just another channel for messages". The miss the FUNDAMENTAL diff #
The Internet is the most powerful tool ever invented for AVOIDING marketing messages. Spam filters. Ad blockers. The web != captive audience #
The old marketing ways of hammering people on the head with messages doesn’t work on the web. You’ve got to find new ways. Give up control. #
@Britopian But do you realize that when all you blog about is that, you’re talking AT the conversation? #
@Britopian You use all the right buzzwords, but buzzwords set off people’s BS detectors. #
If anyone is interested, compare and contrast what Intel is doing in "social media" with what Zappos.com is doing. Let me know what you find #
I’m not giving enough praise. There are lots of people in Intel marketing that DO get it. Coincidentally, they’re the ones on Twitter. #
@kellyfeller Buzzwords make you sound not human. Real people don’t talk in buzzwords. You don’t talk in buzzwords all the time, do you? #
@kellyfeller @britopian Honest question: Have you read The Cluetrain Manifesto? #
@kellyrfeller You can read Cluetrain, in its entirety, for free online at http://www.cluetrain.com. It really will be worth the effort. I promise. #
@kellyfeller re: buzzwords, go listen to this song and see if you can identify the buzzwords: http://tinyurl.com/pnpj8 Thank me later. #
For the record, @jonathancoulton is my hero, and "Re:Your Brains" should be Intel’s theme song. #
@britopian Are you asking if I’ve read Cluetrain? I make it a point to read it at least once a year. I buy copies to give away to people. #
I’m going to set up a podcast/audio debate between myself, @kellyfeller, @britopian, @annierodkins, and whoever else wants to join. Fun! #
@Britopian LOL! I was asked to write that post, for the launch of the Mobility blog. On short notice. And they wanted to approve it. #
@Britopian Some background on that post: http://tinyurl.com/4nslqa And the whole thing kind of fell apart. #
@Britopian re: "two comments waiting" - I responded to @thomashan via Twitter in minutes. And like I said, I stopped writing there. #
@Britopian Are you poring through everything I’ve ever written, to find examples to throw in my face? #
@Britopian Yes, he’s @skawtnyc on Twitter. #
Listening to the new free NIN album, "The Slip". Trent’s experiements in music distro have made me a fan. Good stuff. #
@Britopian re @skawtnyc’s comments, go re-read Cluetrain Theses 20 through 22: http://tinyurl.com/5gr79 #
@RichSPK Re: different artwork for each on from NIN - I noticed that - very nice touch. Wish more artists did it. #
@Britopian Do you hold comments for approval on your blog? if so, why? #
I have a tab in Firefox that I’m unable to close. Weird. #
@skyler Fix it, dude! I need it! #
I had a hard day, emotionally. One of the downsides of "radical transparency" is having your feelings close to the surface, easily hurt. #

@turoczy LOL best answer yet. Thanks. #
