@smileysejalee Sorry I missed you, but glad you had a good time! @billpearson and @tersteeg are pretty awesome, no? in reply to smileysejalee #
@drnormal You go ahead and try to pass yourself off as me. No one will believe it without orange Crocs. Try to get THAT past @camikaos. in reply to drnormal #
I occasionally use hair gel. This morning, @gabebancroft decided he wanted some, too. So we played Dad’s Beauty Salon http://bit.ly/QMndX #
Argh. Gmail is applying an unwanted filter to messages from a person, and I don’t want it to. But I can’t find which filter is the culprit. #
Can I just say, Halleleujah for Date Night with @rachelbancroft? I think I just did! #
Ran into @podcasthotel and his family at the movie (Coraline) downtown. We gabbed about chickens. #
Coraline was great (took us this long to see it). I don’t think Emma can see it until she’s, like, 30. I don’t need those therapy bills. #

Hope you all go back an read my chicken tweets from last night. My life has become Chicken Central, thanks to @rachelbancroft. #
@mike_strock Eggs and pets, not nuggets. None of us have the stomach for the concept or process of eating chickens we’ve named. in reply to mike_strock #
I’m not going to make the Intel tweetup at @PDXGreenDragon tonight, but you should totally go. Free beer from Intel! http://bit.ly/wajMV #
Our chickens names: Marigold Sunshine (via Emma), Lulu (via @rachelbancroft), Esmerelda Valentine (via me), and Monster Truck (via Gabe). #
@ChrisGNelson Where does one obtain the Clear mobile USB modem driver/connection software for Macs? I haven’t seen it anywhere on the site. in reply to ChrisGNelson #
Come to the Intel tweetup at @PDXGreenDragon at 7:30PM. Free beer! Social Media Experts! What more could you possibly want? #
@jerry_makare Here’s that Jonathan Coulton music we were talking about earlier. I just bought a few more! http://tinyurl.com/dm33u6 #
@ashokraj Advance notice?! Dude, we (the Intel Twitter nerds in Oregon) have been tweeting about the tweetup for at least a week. in reply to ashokraj #
Picked up a couple of MC Lars tracks (Guitar Hero Hero and We Have Arrived) while I was over at AmazonMP3. They’re pretty rockin! #
RT @atebits: Tweetie for Mac: First Look - http://www.atebits.com/tweetie-mac/ (This looks HOT! I can’t wait for Monday! #
How was the @PDXGreenDragon/@Intel tweetup? Sorry I couldn’t make it. Hope everyone had a good time and got all socialized and everything. #
I sure hope @atebits is going to charge for Bigbird (Tweetie for Mac). He deserves to reap the benefits of his work. I’d pay $20. #

OMG I am in LOVE with the new Procaster app for Mogulus. It’s going to make my life SO much easier! Can’t wait for the Mac version! #
Well well well… Look what the UPS fairy brought: http://twitpic.com/3d2ex #
@Jerry_Makare I hope you’re having as much fun today as I am. I have SO much cool stuff to show you tomorrow! in reply to Jerry_Makare #
@bryanrhoads 2007 wasn’t before Twitter. I’ve been using since June 2006 and it really took off at SXSW in March 2007. Early but not before. in reply to bryanrhoads #
For those who asked, I’m using Clear WiMAX for a specific work-related purpose, so I don’t have much experience with “normal” use cases. #
@bryanrhoads Ah. On the exabyte scale, I doubt Twitter makes much of a dent even now, 140 bytes at a time… in reply to bryanrhoads #
@mike_strock Ha! No, I am far from normal. There’s a reason I describe myself as an “edge case”. in reply to mike_strock #
Just had a thought: I would love to see @caseorganic as a guest blogger on BoingBoing.net. Cyborg Anthropology seems right up their alley. #
Busy Thursday night? Intel’s having a tweetup at the Green Dragon, and wants to buy you a beer. You simply MUST come! http://bit.ly/wajMV #
Huh? I didn’t know that the @NYTimes syndicates @ReadWriteWeb. Very cool to see @marshallk’s article there! http://bit.ly/ayd3 #
@psteinb No talking about the Supar Sekrit Project yet! Back into your cage! in reply to psteinb #
@rachelbancroft just tried to feed her 1.5 week old chicks some yogurt, because the Internet told her to. I have video. #
I was given the opportunity to name one of the four chicks. I toyed with “Nugget” for a while, but settled on “Esmerelda Valentine”. #
Other chickens are named Sunshine Marigold (via @emmabancroft) and LuLu/Lucy (via @rachelbancroft). #
@gabebancroft hasn’t picked a name for his chicken yet, but the smart money is on “Monster Truck.” #
Now @rachelbancroft is giving the chickens a sponge bath, after they got yogurt everywhere… #

*sigh* Supar Sekrit project test #2 this morning was a FAIL. But @jerry_makare and I learned something important. We won’t get fooled again! #
RT @igniteportland Want to know when #IP6 talk ideas are due, and when you can come to a Town Hall? Here you go: http://bit.ly/4EbvnD #
Whee! Just unboxed a crucial piece of gear for the Supar Sekrit Project with @jerry_makare. I love the smell of new electronics. #
OK, Internet. You were right. That Flight Control game on the iPhone IS extremely addicting. And hard. My best is 44 aircraft landed. Yours? #
Much as I like hearing about people going to Bancroft to party for the weekend (hoppin’ place!), I refined my ego search to leave it out. #
@clearwire You play nice with Macs? Does that mean you’ll release software so Macs can use the mobile USB modem soon? in reply to clearwire #
Totally nerding out watching “400 Years of the Telescope” on OPB/PBS. Besides the tech and science, contemplating the universe awes me… #
Dang. Now I want to go buy a telescope, learn how to use it (and teach my kids), and maybe do some astrophotography. #

I learn the most interesting things about people and places named Bancroft in the search feed I use to watch for (misspelled) replies. #
Dangit! How come no one told me that Amazon had a Gold Box deal on Rock Band 2 for Wii for $29? It expired an hour ago. http://bit.ly/IpQL #
@MCP85 It’s a bummer. I’ve been meaning to pick up RB2 for ages. I have all the GH:WT instruments. I even have a gift card to pay! Oh well. in reply to MCP85 #
@MCP85 Cool idea. Or a way to get an email/text if something on your wishlist ever goes on Gold Box/Deal of the Day. Make it so, Amazon! in reply to MCP85 #
RT @artigupta Check out the new Intel Software Network home page . Feedback welcome. http://bit.ly/wwVI (where I work - nice job folks!) #
Just gave my Mac and my Windows VM a fresh reboot, to see if I can get rid of some of the slow. Too much of it today. #
Trying again - didn’t stick last time. Just listed myself in the http://localtweeps.com local Twitter directory in ZIP 97007 #
@SuperSpiker I use Parallel, but I hear good things about VMWare Fusion, too. in reply to SuperSpiker #

Looking back on my tweets from yesterday, it was apparently “Josh Only Talks About Macs” day. And so far, today is, too! #
Had a brainlapse, and wished a Jewish acquaintance “Happy Easter” without thinking. *facepalm* #
@Mettadore Thanks. I know it probably didn’t horribly offend him, but it still made me feel stupid. in reply to Mettadore #

@Jerry_Makare Whee! Congrats on the Nehalem Mac Pro. I’m jealous. I need to come over and smell it. in reply to Jerry_Makare #
@billpearson Jinx! in reply to billpearson #
@bryanrhoads I’d try to “Rank My PC”, but the little Facebook/Java app tells me it only works on Windows. No love for us Mac people… in reply to bryanrhoads #
@BrianEnigma My family is definitely *not* the Bancrofts mentioned in the latest Microsoft ad. We’re happy Mac users, thank you. in reply to BrianEnigma #

@Kram You might be right. The fact I only now saw my first animated Twitter avatar speaks volumes for the quality of the people I follow. in reply to Kram #
Isn’t there a better way to add more tags on http://wefollow.com than tweeting publicly? #portland #software #community #developer #blogger #
ZDNet Fortune 500 article on what Intel is doing in “social media”. My ego was happy to see ISN and Intelpedia. http://bit.ly/14gAUh #
Because I’m a sucker and a compulsive joiner, I’m now listed in the http://localtweeps.com local Twitter directory in ZIP 97007. #soldout #
RT @caseygotcher AMD Fusion Media Explorer Beta - Early free preview. Links in blog. Will need AMD CPU to run. http://bit.ly/ZLAW #FME #
I admit it. I’m happy that the weather has turned a little cooler than it was earlier this week in Portland. I’m not quite ready to sweat. #

Had an awesome morning with @jerry_makare. The supar sekrit project we’re working on had its first test, and was a smashing success! #
@bryanrhoads That tweet about your “History of Social Media at Intel” post? The one that’s being RT’ed all over? You misspelled @jabancroft. #
I think Google Reader is trying to tell me it’s lunch time. It won’t mark anything as read. Even if I try to force it. Battle of the wills! #
Hey Podcasters: what’s the best (hardware-based, not Skype, reasonably priced) way to grab the audio from a good old fashioned phone call? #
@bmw Thanks. I’m checking out the stuff from JK Audio. Any particular product you recommend? Telos seems overkill. in reply to bmw #
@rmyth I’ve used those Radio Shack telephone interfaces and been seriously underwhelmed by the quality Looking for the next step up. Thanks! in reply to rmyth #
@bmw Phone system is IP/PBX (corporate offices). Think I’ve got a lead on some good solutions. Thanks! in reply to bmw #
@mike_strock I could use a Google Voice recording, but the problem is, I need to grab the audio for a realtime stream, so GV won’t work. in reply to mike_strock #
@bmw The soln I’m looking at, JK Audio Innkeeper PBX, actually connects via the handset, which should be fine. Thanks for your help! in reply to bmw #
@stoelrives Welcome to Twitter! Hope I was of assistance/influence in bringing you out here. Have fun! #
@clint I love the error message at http://arst.ch right now. You guys are a class act, all the way. in reply to clint #
Hey, how come @spin has an animated GIF for his Twitter avatar? Please tell me that’s not a feature. Twitter will devolve into 4chan… #
@spin Who cares what file format it is? It’s the animation that I can’t stand. Most animated avatars make me break out the eye bleach. in reply to spin #
@turkchgo @kram It’s fascinating (and telling) that Twitter has had animated avatars for so long, but I just saw my first. Significance? in reply to turkchgo #
@spin Lest I be misunderstood, I think your animated avatar is actually pretty cool. But think of the horror once everyone figures it out! #
@matt_mcc No, the term “Web 2.0″ is the <blink> tag of Web 2.0. in reply to matt_mcc #
@atebits @tweetie I have wished in my heart and out loud for a desktop/Mac version of Tweetie. Thanks for listening! http://bit.ly/8E7mD #

Hmm. My initial reaction to the new FriendFeed was “Gah! My eyes!” But I think it’s growing on me. http://ff.im/1X7XJ #
My computer just made a reminder-like noise at me that I’ve never heard before, and I have no idea what app it came from… #
Hey Twitter - do me a favor? Tell me if you can read this direct message on the new FriendFeed: http://tinyurl.com/dkx2yd #
@blath @Kent_Giard Thanks! Andru and I were trying to test whether the new Direct Messages on FriendFeed are private. Looks like they are! in reply to blath #
No https:// SSL access to the new FriendFeed beta. I guess that’s to be expected. Hope it comes when it leaves beta. http://ff.im/1Xbu5 #
@LeStew Do you mean Clear/Clearwire (the WiMAX provider)? They sell the “Clear Spot”, from Cradlepoint, the only router I know of that works in reply to LeStew #
@LeStew Do you mean the little mobile Motorola USB WiMAX modem, plugged straight into the router? in reply to LeStew #
@LeStew Which Clear modem on this page are we talking about? The big one, or the little one? The big one should work with any router. in reply to LeStew #
@LeStew Oops. This was the page I was referring to: http://bit.ly/m6trW in reply to LeStew #
@LeStew Ah, OK. I was thinking of the little USB/mobile one. Carry on! in reply to LeStew #
RT @rachelbancroft: Just brought four cute baby chicks home. And so our attempt at Urban chicken raising begins. #
