- Excellent - Logitech is going to make a Bluetooth adapter for its Harmony remotes, so they can control a PS3. Yay! http://tinyurl.com/cv3lzh #
- As busy as I’ve been today, you’d think I’d have accomplished more. But any day that starts with a trip to Home Depot for new tools is good. #
- I admit it. I love Papa Murphy’s pizza. The chicken garlic and Cowboy are staples in our household. #

- Hmm. It seems that my Notes and Shared Items from Google Reader are no longer coming through as comments in… http://ff.im/1DhRk #
»
- I am absolutely NO good at *teasing* info about something I’m really excited about. I just want to blurt it all out!
# - @jojohnson I can’t say right now, but as soon as it’s ready, you won’t be able to get me to shut up about it. All in due time…
in reply to jojohnson # - Wow. Corn bread catfish nuggets in the JF5 cafe today. I’ll pass, though. http://twitpic.com/294uq #
- Does it bother you to hear people say “iTouch” instead of “iPod touch”? It drives me crazy. Not because of loyalty,, but because it’s wrong. #
- I think it’s a character flaw I have. I get annoyed when people say things are just not correct. Not “elevated stress level”, but annoyed. #

- @kellyrfeller Welcome to the world of iPhone! One of us!
For complete Twittering bliss, you simply MUST get and use the app Tweetie. # - My friend Kevin (@sourcecode) at work got one of the new iPod Shuffles. It’s REALLY tiny. Wow. Pics with my USB drive: http://bit.ly/4M26o #
- Also, I tested the new Shuffle’s inline headphone controls with my iPhone 3G. As expected, the click works, but up/down doesn’t. #
- @googlevoice just read (text to speech) the name of an incoming caller to me. I don’t think GrandCentral ever did that. Neat. #
- @mike_strock You still haven’t been upgraded to Google Voice? Wow. I thought everyone would have been done by now. in reply to mike_strock #
- @mike_strock It’s just luck, trust me. There’s nothing special about me.

- Totally buried in meetings today. So much fun stuff to talk about! iPhone OS 3.0! Fun stuff I’m working on at work! Alas, I meet instead. #
- @Stammy Oh, man, that sucks. I got really sick at SXSW last year. Hope it doesn’t become a geekademic!
in reply to Stammy # - I take back my earlier complaining about meetings. Turns out these meetings were really productive and interesting. Not all meetings suck! #
- @mike_strock No, Mac OS X cannot run inside a virtual machine. Not sure if it’s a technical reason (related to EFI vs BIOS?) or not. in reply to mike_strock #
- Oh, wait. Today is St Patricks Day. And me not wearing any green or drinking. What a bum I am.

- Dear Friend at SXSW: If you were to snag some cool laptop stickers for me while you’re there, I’d be eternally grateful. Love, Josh.
# - Great video review from @TapCritic of the new Boxee remote iPhone app’s gesture-based interface. Can’t wait to use this. http://bit.ly/oX9Z2 #

- Beware the Ides of March. They are currently attempting to blow my house down. Questioning the whole “house made of sticks” thing… #pdxtst #
- @turoczy Wait, what? @missrogue used my Flickr page in her SXSW preso? Pics or it didn’t happen!

- Going to the the store for supplies to celebrate Pi(e) Day. I love nerd holidays!
# - Celebrating Pi(e) Day at the Bancroft homestead: http://twitpic.com/240o5 #
- @alexcrawley You are correct - I put Cadbury Mini Eggs (those things are like crack!) in the chocolate pie. Turned out not so tasty, though. in reply to alexcrawley #

- I declare Inbox Zero! (on my Gmail, at least - work inbox still has about 30 items pending some kind of action). Baby steps!

- @steverubel I’ve had an active GrandCentral account (my main number) for years, still (im)patiently waiting to be upgraded Google Voice.
in reply to steverubel # - RT @googlevoice Upgrades are going out to all existing GC users as we speak. Existing GC accounts should be able to upgrade shortly. #
- Downloading iTunes 8.1 and the Front Row update via Software Update. The new iTunes DJ/iPhone Remote functionality sounds fun. #
- RT @googlevoice Check out the Google Voice preview mobile site, which should look spiffy on your iPhone: http://google.com/voice/m (SWEET!) #
- @gregoryleff Yes, Google bought GC ages ago, and is now relaunching it as Google Voice. Adding txt msgs, vmail transcription. I can’t wait! in reply to gregoryleff #
- Well, at least my GC account now tells me “Your account is not yet ready to be upgraded. Please check back shortly.” Refresh refresh refresh #
- Google Voice is on twitter (@googlevoice) and now has their very own blog: http://googlevoiceblog.blogspot.com/ Subscribed! #
- Finally! GrandCentral to Google Voice upgrade came through. Doing it now… #
- @Jmartens Yeah, I’ll blog/tweet. Setting up my voicemail greeting/etc. now. The mobile version of GVoice (google.com/voice/m) is v nice. in reply to Jmartens #
- Google Voice appears to integrate with your Gmail contacts (at least, it did for me). Handy, because it syncs with my iPhone. Nice. #
- Just showed off/played with Google Voice with @sourcecode and @psteinb. It’s awesome. I love it. Lifechanging. Thanks, Google!
# - Trying to set up Twitter to use my GVoice SMS number now. Doesn’t seem to work. Anyone got this working? Is Twitter just being slow? #
- Uh oh. “This message was not successfully delivered.” Looks like Google Voice can’t sent SMS to Twitter’s 40404 shortcode. Bummer.
# - @leahcdaniels It’s not part of the Google iPhone app, but I would LOVE it if they integrated it, or came out with a separate Voice app. in reply to leahcdaniels #
- @buckmasterflash Spam filter. Call recording. VMail transcription. Don’t have to give out a new number if you change your cell. Free calls. in reply to buckmasterflash #
- GOOG-411 integration in GVoice doesn’t seem to be working yet. I call (my own GV #), press 3 for GOOG-411, get kicked back to top level. #
- @harrisja Yup, Google Voice integrates with your Gmail contacts, which is AWESOME for me, since I recently made it my master Contacts list. in reply to harrisja #
- Anyone else think Apple might intro a netbook at their iPhone OS 3.0 preview event? OS 2.0 heralded new hardware - the iPhone 3G… #
- Think about it. An Apple netbook would require lead time for developers, just like the iPhone. They pre-announced that by 6 months. #
- @aaroneiche The event is about the iPhone OS, and there will be lots of iPhone news. But it’s perfect to intro new HW running iPhone OS… in reply to aaroneiche #
- @timoreilly I’m sorry, what? Amazon doesn’t prevent you from reading non-Amazon books on Kindle. They encourage it. I do it all the time. in reply to timoreilly #
- @timoreilly That app was spoofing Mobi DRM to work on the Kindle. If anything, the other DRM-monger stores should be the ones that got mad. in reply to timoreilly #
- But what do I know. I’m staying out of DRM debates from now on. #
Great! I vow to make it time around.
