I love this photo. Taken by my wife Rachel during the famous Portland Snow a couple of weeks ago. Rachel said the sunglasses were Emma’s idea - she insisted on them.
She knows how to stay incognito when the paparazzi are out on the slopes.

- 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. #
- What does the developer ecosystem look like for Nokia? Hard to compete with the 10,000 new apps in six months that iPhone has triggered. #
- @ChrisLeckness Apple certainly didn’t invent the touchscreen phone, but they were the first to do a REALLY GOOD touch interface. in reply to ChrisLeckness #
- @marshallk I love to show new people the Common Craft RSS video, Twitter Search, and the concept of feeds for automation/newsreading. in reply to marshallk #
- Finally got through work email backlog from being on vacation last week. Found a LOT of filters I could add to streamline things there. #
- @joshuajwolff I’m not sure about audio/video production jobs in the PDX area. Anyone know? Maybe ask @LeStew, @StephStricklen, or @aweiss. in reply to joshuajwolff #
- @Soft You are correct. Google’s Calaboration app only configures iCal to sync to GCal. An “easy button”, if you will.
in reply to Soft # - Grr. I can’t get a calendar event I create on my iPhone to go into one of my synced Google calendars, only the default cal. Any ideas? #
- @Jmartens Is Air Sharing the app you are thinking of? I believe it was free for a limited time, now costs $. There’s also box.net and others in reply to Jmartens #
- @dougkaye You won’t likely find one at REI, but Crumpler makes some great bags to hold a laptop + DSLR. Their site is atrocious, though. in reply to dougkaye #

- 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. #
- OH: “We shouldn’t be colliding with another galaxy. That’s just sloppy management. Who’s looking into this?” #
- OH: “Pompei was destroyed by a volcano. That could NEVER happen here.” #
- 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. #
- @linuxaid is ALREADY posting the videos from Ignite Portland 4 last night. Will do a post on our site soon (I’m in an all day meeting). in reply to linuxaid #
- @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 #
- @krystlechung Right. I would never tell someone “You’ll never have to learn ANY HTML. You can always just use the WYSIWYG interface.” in reply to krystlechung #
- Hmm. Turns out that thinking up ideas that really “push the envelope” is really hard. #
- @wajiii At the least, people should tag their photos igniteportland or ip4, so they can be found. This is the first I’ve heard of a pool. in reply to wajiii #
- @wajiii I know. I was just pointing out the “official” photo tagging/sharing tips we’ve been telling people. in reply to wajiii #

- 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! #

- 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 #

- Today’s the big day! Ignite Portland 4! Tag is #IP4, if you’re into that sort of thing. I need to get my search feeds in place to track buzz #
- @jarvitron Yeah, but, besides a touchscreen (which I wouldn’t want), what other 901 add-ons are there? I don’t know of any exciting ones… #
- @jarvitron I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a version of the 1000H with 3G announced. They’re the same motherboard. Shouldn’t hard to add. YMMV. #
- @Britopian Why does something always have to get killed? I prefer to think in more collaborative, creative terms than militant/warfare. #
- I predict that Ignite Portland is going to show up on the Twitter Trends at search.twitter.com tonight. #
- @Britopian I see. I was illustrating a point, too. #
- @turoczy Thanks for the awesome “tips and tricks to enjoy Ignite Portland” post (http://twurl.cc/7gn). I reposted part on the IP blog. #
- Off to lunch with the ISN team, then, finish getting ready for Ignite tonight. I’m nervous about getting up on stage for “What is Ignite”
# - @Brady we wish you could make it, too! Itgoing to be awesome. #
- So, Ignite Portland doesn’t even start for a few hours, and we’re already killing Twitter? Awesome. #ip4 #
- @rachelbancroft and I are on our way over to the east side for Ignite Portland 4! w00t! #

- I, for one, welcome our new spam filter-based software overlords. #
- @wesley83 The iPhone syncs and works perfectly well with Windows, too. Don’t let lack of a Mac keep you from the awesomest phone on earth #
- @wesley83 iPhone web browsing is SO much better than WM. Tons of awesome apps in the app store. The overall experience is much nicer. #
- @Stammy I noticed that limitation (can’t page back more than 200 in my Twitter history) a bit ago. It’s why I now archive mine on my blog. #
- @wesley83 More reasons I love my iPhone: Ocarina. Google Earth. Lightsaber. iChalky. Shazam. Pandora. Urbanspoon. i.TV. Brighkite. Etc. #
- @wesley83 I had WM devices for years. They’re very capable. But the iPhone blows them away. And why would one want Flash on mobile web page? #
- @wesley83 Which apps do you use for productivity? (I’m not trying to badger you here. Just a friendly comparison. #
- @wesley83 Honestly, the three things I use most on my iPhone are the iPhone web versions of FriendFeed, Google Reader, and Twitter. #
- @robevans Since when is “can multitask” the definition of a smartphone? How does that make a difference? What’s real-world benefit? #
- @wesley83 Cool. Like I said, WM is a good platform, and I’m sure you’ll be happy with your phone. #
- @robevans I totally understand wanting more flexibility. I’m willing to sacrifice it for something that does what I want REALLY well. #
- @robevans Yup, it’s all *nix under the covers. Jailbroken, it’s basically a little BSD box in your pocket. #
- How stupid is it that the fancy new iPhone formatted Google search results (http://tinyurl.com/68m8kj) don’t work from Safari’s search box? #
- The new Flip Mino HD looks REALLY nice. A 720p video cam for $229. Added it to my Wishlist in case someone wants to buy me one. #
- So. Ignite Portland 4 is tomorrow night. Are you ready? I am. Oh, hey! There’s going to be a surprise announced there… #
- @influxx The Flip Mino HD is only $229, not $300. Even better! #
- @turoczy Indeed. Make sure to pay attention during my “What is Ignite?” talk at the beginning of the evening. #
- @ahockley Sadly, the fire marshall and the owners of the Bagdad put the kibosh on the pyrotechnics…. #
- @turoczy I’ll tell you. Tomorrow night. #
- @greghughes If we ever do an Ignite in a pyrotechnic-friendly venue, we just might take you up on that. Thanks! #
- Aaand, my Internet connection through Intel’s proxy is taking a dirt nap. Neighbors’, too. I feel slower and dumber. #
- @chrisorourke The proxies are occasionally cranky and overworked, so I can’t really blame them. Sometimes, the tubes just get clogged. #
- @jltitus Google Reader, Twitter, FriendFeed, and NetVibes. #
- Get an Eee PC 900A netbook from Best Buy for $279: http://tinyurl.com/5o8l4l Not the cream of the crop, but a great deal. #
- Now THIS is a brilliant idea: http://www.sitorsquat.com - I downloaded the free iPhone app (there’s a BlackBerry version, too, @ahockley #
- @ahockley Oh, come on. Tell me you’ve never been in public and needed to find a decent public restroom. I know I have. #
- Ooops. @rachelbancroft just reminded me about some DVDs I was supposed to return to the library last week. That are still in my car. #
- I refuse to check my Twitterank, because it automatically tweets as me, without warning. Nice way to harvest people’s Twitter credentials. #
- RT @tiesque: Idea: BankAccountRank.com - Provide me the login credentials of your bank account & I give you a meaningless # in return. #
- @spinnerin LIghts just flickered out here at Intel (JF1) in Hillsboro, too, which is really unusual. Wonder what it was? #
- It’s times like this (power hit in the Portland area) when I REALLY wish @Twitter hadn’t killed @pulseofpdx by disabling “with_friends”. #
- @bjedwards And that totally depends on whether you believe/trust him. Anyone can write anything on the internet! #
- Hello, free floating anxiety. Been a while. Remind me not to listen to NPR Planet Money podcast about the economy when you’re around. #
- @stevenwalling I don’t know who’s behind @PortlandRain, but they’re brilliant. I pronounce “fake natural phenomena” the next Twitter meme. #
- Ice Cream Review: Ben & Jerry’s Visialize Whirled Peace, not so gret akshully. #
- I think TweetDeck can FINALLY see all of my followers, so lists aren’t uselessly incomplete anymore. I think I might be falling in love… #
- Ah. @PortlandRain has a partner in crime: @PortlandSun. I get the feeling they don’t talk much. #
- And now all the cool kids are telling me I need to try Tweetsville on iPhone. Will it be good enough to get me to switch from Twitteriffic? #
- @ihenpecked No, it uses the iPhone’s data connection (EDGE, 3G, or wifi). Only app that uses text messages is the text msg app, AFAIK. #
- @jezlyn I’ve only been using Tweetsville for a few minutes, but it’s really good. Fast. Looks and feels like Apple wrote it. Worth the $3.99 #
- @jezlyn Yeah, I know what you mean. I don’t buy TOO many apps, and $3.99 is about my impulse limit, but it DOES add up fast. #
- I love that Tweetsville remembers my custom “ego” search string when I quit. Nice. #
- @ahockley That reminds me. I’m out of Moo cards. #
- Oops. Messing around with both Tweetdeck and Tweetsville at the same time, I’ve blown my API request quota. That means goodnight! #
- @lawduck My “fits in a tweet” netbook recommendation is an Eee PC 1000H or MSI Wind. But there are lots of other good ones. #
- @lawduck Worried about size? Eee PC 901 or HP Mini Note 1000 is the way to go. But the HP has a slow 4200 RPM drive, and only 3 cell battery #
- @jarvitron The Eee PC 1000H is Atom-based, too. Nearly identical to the 901 except it’s bigger, has a 10″ screen, and a hard drive. #

- Headed downtown to present at Intel’s Software Enabling Summit in a bit. It’s Intel’s big annual software conference. #
- Going to attempt to teach some software engineers why they should blog, use a feed reader, and other social tools. Wish me luck! #
- At the Waterfront Marriott. My Intel SES session is in an hour. It’s windy and cold out there! - http://bkite.com/02l9v #
- I should say that I’m co-presenting with @amybarton. Not trying to hog the spotlight or anything. #
- Geeking out with a bunch of intel software guys (Charles, Robert, etc.), showing them Ocarina on my iPhone. Nerd alert! #
- @verso Bummer. I’ll probably only be down here for my session. Short trip. #
- Oh great. @rachelbancroft just taught Gabe how to wear his sister’s panties on his head like a hat. That’s gonna need therapy… #
- Have you seen this Sprint “Now” widget/page? It’s pretty awesome. My new screensaver. http://tinyurl.com/6mldlx #
- Now what we need (ha!) is an open, hackable version of that Now page, to add what YOU want. A framework and library of sources. Get on it! #
- Gmail Video and Audio chat is SO cool. GTalk in the browser has been my only IM solution for a long time. Now I have audio and video. #
- @jezlyn Yeah, I think that Sprint thing is going to get old fast. I keep coming back to Digg Arc. What other sites make good screensavers? #
- @geekygirldawn I don’t know how you juggle everything. I have half that on my plate, and I’m already pulling my hair out. #

- Second meeting of the day already. Several more slated. This week just might kill me. But if I can survive until Saturday, I’ll be OK. #

- @KarenPearson Where do you think honey comes from? #
- @ahockley Have you tried fftogo.com? Great mobile interface for FriendFeed. Should work great on your BlackBerry. #
- Ah, the library. Temple of knowledge, information, quiet, and free wifi. - http://bkite.com/02ks7 #
- @ahockley And FriendFeed DOES have IM (new last week) and an API (see: Twhirl). If they were up right now I could give links. #
- @ahockley Ah, gotcha. Context FTW. #
- @camikaos Don’t worry. At the very worst, we’ll have as many people as Ignite Portland 2 (when we hit fire code, had to turn people away) #
- @KarenPearson I know. But why pass up an opportunity be silly and/or scar a child for life? My kids think ladybugs say “RAWWRR!” #

- There’s going to be a “mini” Ignite Portland at the Keep Portland Weird festival at the Central Library, with a few alumni talks. 2:15PM #
- Come by the Ignite thing at the library if you want, but I haven’t been advertising it, because it’s a really small space. #
- I had visions of flooding the library with the throngs of people who seem to materialize whenever I mention Ignite Portland. #
- Guess what? @jonathancoulton and John Hodgman did not one but two shows in Portland last night. I made it to niether. I’m lame. #
- I’m at the Portland Central Library, 3rd floor, if anyone’s looking for me. Ignite “Keep Portland Weird” in 1 hr. #
- If you’re looking for me, I’m actually NOT wearing my trademark orange Crocs. First time in years. I know. #
- I am, however sporting brightly colored Nikes and a patriotic Diesel Sweeties tshirt, so I’m still easy to spot. #
- @sharong Ignite Portland 4 IS next week. This is a little alumni “mini” Ignite at the Library’s KPW festival. #
- @sharong I purposely didn’t advertise this one much, for fear of overwhelming the small-ish venue. #
- @samgrover Curses! I can’t make those Coulton/Hodgman shows, either. I need to pay more attention, and plan ahead for these things. #
- HUGE thanks to @verso, @peat, @geekygirldawn, Phillip K., and @sarahgilbert for sharing their Ignite talks at the Keep Portland Weird fest.! #
- We filled the place up pretty well, and the crowd seemed to like it. Organizers were effusive with praise. Good job, folks! #

- @ravenme So, when are you going to release the “has easter eggs” version? #
- At the @legionoftech board meeting at Jive’s new offices downtown. Rainy. Crocs are slippery on Portland’s streets. I keep almost falling. #
- Last Ignite planning meeting before the big day! #
- @KarenPearson Oh, man. It sucks when kids are sick. Hope she feels better soon! #
- Stressing out. Not just ignite, a ton of other stuff. If only I can make it through next week. Sugar and caffeine, don’t fail me now! #
- Hey, does anyone know where I can find an OpenOffice presentation template that’s a simple black gradient bg, with white text? #
- Free idea for Amazon: Now that Obama’s going to be president, give the Kindle editions of his books away for free. Won’t cost you anything. #
- ZOMG the Ocarina app from Smule (the Sonic Lighter people) is AMAZING. Play the ocarina, and hear other people play on the globe. Un. Real. #
- Ocarina even has a “Zelda” mode (I don’t know what that is yet :-). If you have an iPhone, GO GET IT. Best $0.99 you’ll spend today. #
- I should be helping @rachelbancroft put the kids to bed but instead I’m playing Ocarina scores people have shared: http://tinyurl.com/6×5lq9 #
- I’m going to get in trouble when @rachelbancroft reads that tweet about me messing around with Ocarina instead of helping her. #
- @chugg Go to ocarina.smule.com, and check out the scores/music people have posted there. I had a blast playing Concerning Hobbits, etc. #
- And if you’re playing with Ocarina, be SURE you check out the globe mode, where you can hear other people play. And share your playing! #
- Added Obama’s Pandora station to my QuickMix. He’s got quite a few excellent songs in there. #
- I swear I had a link/screenshot of that fateful tweet in 2007 that got Ignite Portland started, but I cant find it anywhere. Anyone have it? #
- @chugg Obama’s playlist on Pandora: http://tinyurl.com/68b7s7 #

- @turoczy Hey! That’s NOBODY’S business but the Turks’. I’d stay out of it if I were you. #
- @SuperSpiker I haven’t tested Toodledo much yet, but I have a friend who swears by it. I still like RTM. I’d call it even. Try em both. #

- Since Twitter survived the election, they pretty much have NO excuse for going down under load EVER again. #
- @worleygirl Yeah, they were queueing, which caused some delayed tweets, which is OK in my book. But they didn’t go down. #

- Remember the Milk blog post on the iPhone app: http://tinyurl.com/59dccg Requires a paid RTM Pro account, which I don’t know if I want yet. #
- I know people love OmniFocus for tasks, but I have 2 problems with it. 1) it’s not “in the cloud”, and 2) it’s really freaking expensive. #
- @mattg I don’t have that many tasks in RTM (mainly because I haven’t had a nice mobile way of using it). I’ll take your word for it. #
- @SuperSpiker I haven’t looked closely at toodledo.com, but it looks interesting. Comparing to RTM now. RTM has Gmail and Gears integration. #
- @AndruEdwards Yeah, but then I have to screw around with MobileMe, WebDAV, or Bonjour. RTM is a native internet app. That’s my gold standard #
- @sumwan I *believe* that RTM lets you share/assign tasks, but I’m not sure. The thing I love most is how well it fits into my Google life. #
