Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

@shadowbottle Nikon D40 or Canon Rebel XT are good starter DSLR options under $500. I lubs my D40. #
@davepreston I use and love Foxmarks. I’m sorry you can’t get it working! #
If I were still Twittering about the weather, I’d note that the big fat heavy snowflakes have arrived in Hillsboro. But I’m not. #pdxtst #
@davepreston I use Firefox. It SHOULD work under Flock, but since that’s the difference, maybe it is a Flock problem. #
I blame my recent obsession with Tweeting the weather with the fact that I have a view from my new cube. Before, I never saw outside! #
In my old cube, I never knew if it was light or dark outside, let alone what the weather was like. #
@influxx Try VisualHub or FFMPEGX to convert them to a more standard format. If VLC plays them, one of those should work. #
@psteinb Check out http://hashtags.org to learn the ways of the hash mark #hashtags #
@influxx Yeah, the GUI on FFPMEGX is wery nice. #
@colligan Get one of these: http://tinyurl.com/2jp25o Drop your video’s on its app, et viola! Speeds up encoding 4x, too. I love mine. #
@psteinb It’s a USB dongle with a hardware H.264 video encoding processor inside. I’ll show you mine sometime. Love it. #
@ejacqui You’ll get it (Rock Band for Wii) on June 22, with the rest of us. ‘Course, there’s a 4 page thread in GESC about lack of DLC. #
@psteinb I have it with me all the time. Don’t leave home without it! #
Last day in the office before my China trip. Making sure I have everything I need (video gear, information, etc.). What am I forgetting? #
@JefftheGreat Of course I have the orange Crocs. I love flying with them. So easy to get through security, comfy on the plane. #
@shanselman Not plastic. A patented closed cell foam. Can be sterilized in an autoclave or bleach. More info here: http://tinyurl.com/32544d #
@shanselman As far as comfort, wearing Crocs is like walking around in marshmallows. #
@shanselman The tech is part of why I love Crocs. And you can get more "formal" models. @guykawasaki wears them: http://tinyurl.com/35×47c #
Aaaand, if you feel yourself with an uncontrollable urge to buy some high-tech, comfortable Crocs, use the link on crocspotting.com. #
@JefftheGreat The "Buy Them Here" link at the top of the page? #
@JefftheGreat Different Crocs models have different size conventions. All are authentic, if confusing. The link on cs is Crocs brand only. #
@JefftheGreat Here you go: http://tinyurl.com/2lcm33 #
@JefftheGreat The Cayman model is the basic, familiar Croc. That’s what I have, and I love it. #
@gerryvz Sure – kids Crocs are cute. #
@JeffTheGreat The answer is, it depends/varies. Some models are sized with numbers, some with S/M/L/XL etc. I don’t know which is which. #
@sourcecode Double tap the video while it’s playing on your iPhone, and it should fix the stretching (but then you’ll have cropping). #
@ahockley not true! Lots of other grownups I know admit to wearing Crocs. Not sure they want me to call them out by name, though. #
@gwalter Hey, now. Plenty of adult mail Crocs fans. @guykawasaki wears and loves them. I know many others, but won’t "out" them here. #
Of course, I meant "adult male" in my last tweet. Dang homophones. #
@marusin Holy cow! Take care of yourself, man. That’s scary. Get better soon! #
LIsten, you punks. I KNOW my Crocs are ugly. I KNOW that I have ZERO fashion sense. So I don’t even try. Comfort + remarkable FTW! #
@sourcecode That’s because the iPhone screen is a weird resolution (480×320) as well as a weird aspect ratio (3:2). Completely non standard. #
@jcjdoss I’d be happy to sign your Crocs. The ink will just wash right off, though. #
@gerryvz Sure you can recraft Crocs. But I don’t know if the Croslite material is biodegradeable. My wife wears the Birks in our family. #
My wife, @rachelbancroft, grew up in Eugene (the Hippie Capitol of the World), and went to a hippie commune kindergarten. #
@ahockley Behold, the power to influence the Twitter conversation! All because I can’t shut up about Crocs and the weather. #
@lyzadanger quotably.com #
Must. Resist. Urge. To Tweet. It’s Hailing. Again. In Hillsboro. #pdxtst #
@heathbuckmaster You’re allowed to take a break, and tweet as much or as little as you want. It’s all casual, man! Relax! #
The snow/sleet/hail is back. Even worse than being distracted by seeing it, I can hear it crisping off the windows. #pdxtst #
I’m out of here in a few minutes. Will probably be Twitter-quiet until I get to the airport tomorrow night. Next stop: Shanghai, China! #
