Just hung this in my cube, to remind all of us at Intel Software Network of our solemn responsibility:
Happy Friday!

- @jltitus I don’t know of any netbooks that have an optical drive. You could get an external one for <$100, or just get her a cheap laptop. in reply to jltitus #

- @leahjones I like the Brightkite iPhone app because it locates me fast via GPS. I hate location services that I have to tell where I am. in reply to leahjones #

- Oh hey, today’s the day analog TV dies in the US. I only get 2 digital channels. Tried various antennae. Guess we’ll watch less TV! #
- Just recanned channels, picked up 1 more (some switched between VHF and UHF). Now we get KOPB, KGW, and KPDX (still no KATU, KOIN, or KPTV). #
- We’ll live with those channels until I get a magic antenna. As long as my kids can watch PBS and we can watch The Office in HD, we’re OK. #
- @LeStew I have a digital TV, no cable. Why pay for commercials? Lots of RF interference in our ‘hood. Makes OTA TV a pain. Oh well! in reply to LeStew #
- RT @davewiner: Flickr: Flickr to Twitter Beta. http://tr.im/oiRp #
- Re: Hulu, we use it sometimes, but quality is disappointing compared to OTA HD. We’re fine, I promise. We don’t need that much TV! #
- Testing Crossposting Flickr to Twitter via Email http://flic.kr/p/6vQHA8 #
- @jezlyn I’d rather use Flickr than Twitpic or anything else to tweet pics, since I put all of my other photos there, anyway. in reply to jezlyn #
- @jezlyn Oh, I know. But I have FF set to only pass on things I write there. Otherwise, an infinite causality loop occurs.
in reply to jezlyn # - @jezlyn Yup, we just use it differently. For me FriendFeed is for tying together all of the places I do stuff - my “tubes” - and discussion. in reply to jezlyn #
- Dear #LazyTwitter: what’s the best *paid* weather app? Is WeatherBug Elite worth the $0.99? I want animated radar and pinpoint conditions. #
- @mike_strock I don’t want to download and *try* them all. I’ll happily pay $0.99, but not x4 to try a bunch of similar apps I won’t keep. in reply to mike_strock #

- Played with a friend’s iPhone that has 3.0 (he’s a dev), and Safari is MUCH faster at javascript-y stuff. Google Reader is much snappier. #
- Guess what? Google Lattitude now works on iPhone, thanks to the new mobile version of iGoogle: http://twitpic.com/76c90 #
- @jezlyn Yeah, Google Lattitude only kinda sorta works via iGoogle on iPhone. You can only view. App definitely needed. in reply to jezlyn #

- Urf. Spent most of the day in bed, but feeling somewhat better. Was fevery and achy, and my stomach is unhappy. #fishingforsympathy #

- Headed in to work bright and early for the Big @isntv Launch. Come hang out with us: http://bit.ly/isntv We’ll be live off and on all day #
- RT @isntv: Join us live for Parallel Programming Talk in 30 minutes! The “behind the scenes” cam will be on until then: http://bit.ly/isntv #
- The 15 minutes leading up to going live is INSANELY hectic. But we’re on the air, and @tersteeg’s show looks great! http://bit.ly/isntv #
- Our first live @isntv show since we broke cover went off without a hitch. @jerry_makare is a rock star! Next show is at 10AM. #
- ZOMG these mad 15 minute rushes leading up to going live, where so many little things go wrong, are going to KILL me. #
- Behind the scenes: @psteinb rocking his Teach Parallel show on @isntv: http://twitpic.com/6zeca #
- I don’t know if it’s the stress, or I’m coming down with something, but I feel achy and awful.
Two more live shows to do today. Whee! # - Doing 4 live shows in one day takes a lot out of you. Last of today, @davest and @billpearson is on right now. http://bit.ly/isntv #

- Watching the liveblogs of WWDC in the JF1 living room area on the big TV with @gwynnebaer and @blogan. Not doing my own meta-liveblog. #
- @ejacqui says an email PR blast went out: OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard available in September for $29! #
- That TomTom iPhone app and accessory car kit is HOT. I’ll buy that in a heartbeat. #wwdc #
- @rlux Yes, they said the TomTom iPhone app will have a mic and voice dialling. in reply to rlux #
- Woo hoo! 7.2MBps HSDPA on the iPhone 3GS! Yes! I’m ALL OVER that! #wwdc #
- Well, I know where I’ll be the morning of June 19. #iphone3GS #wwdc #
- @mike_strock I didn’t hear anything announced about how Voice Control will work with a headset, but I bet it will work. in reply to mike_strock #
- @WiredPig Actually, I’m not sure which store we’ll be at. The online preorder thing is pretty appealing (get it delivered free on launch). in reply to WiredPig #
- @gregleff I do have a 3G. Last time, they gave all existing iPhone owners the (lower) upgrade price. I expect the same this time. in reply to gregleff #
- @1tonyjones @gregleff re: high 3GS upgrade prices for existing iPhone customers on AT&T. My guess is they haven’t finalized their policy yet #
- @pdxmark2 I believe the AT&T iPhone upgrade process will sort itself out, but I’m following closely. Worst case, I upgrade my wife’s phone. in reply to pdxmark2 #
- RT @codinghorror: huge sale on Rock Band/Guitar Hero stuff at Gamestop: http://bit.ly/2uoLs Half off everything, incl. the full bundles!!! #
- Just checked my acct on AT&T’s site. My phone is eligible for cheap iPhone on 12/11 (18 mos after 3G Launch Day). My wife’s is eligible now. #
- @MaverickNY I bought on iPhone 3G launch day, which IIRC was July 11, 2008. So, upgrade period is 18 months, apparently. in reply to MaverickNY #
- @BrianEnigma That December eligibility date should be 18 months from when you bought your iPhone 3G (mine is 12/11/09). in reply to BrianEnigma #
- RT @GlennF: AT&T speaks to Ars on tethering, iPhone 3G S upgrades http://arst.ch/315 (via @arstechnica) In short: 18 mo. to get new pricing #
- Don’t forget to tune into @isntv tomorrow, starting at 8AM, for our LIVE shows. It’s Big Launch Day! http://bit.ly/isntv #
- Hey, are any of the cool apps Apple demoed at WWDC today available yet? Or are they all for OS 3.0? #
- Thinking I’ll just pre-order my iPhone 3GS to simplify things, but still go out on launch day to wait in line with friends. Geek bonding. #
- Oh, did I tell you? Got to play with a Palm Pre today. It’s really small. Felt good in my hand. But… #
- The webOS on the Pre felt really confusing. “Swipe Up” for menus, launcher, etc. was unintuitive in the minute or so I had it. #
- Pre’s 8gb max storage and lack of video recording is even harder to swallow with the advent of the iPhone 3GS. Still, it’s a great device. #
- @Durf They did say the new iPhone camera has a macro mode. Which is most welcome. in reply to Durf #

- So, my “supar sekrit project” has broken cover. Announcing Intel Software Network TV: http://bit.ly/isntv More info: http://bit.ly/ISNTVSMR #
- I’ll be putting up a blog post later on what Intel Software Network TV is all about. It’s being very well received, which makes me so happy! #
- An early review of Intel Software Network TV from @siliconANGLE (thanks, @furrier and @rizzn!) http://bit.ly/otaAz #
- You can follow @isntv to get notification when something live is about to happen (a show, an event, etc.) on Intel Software Network TV. #
- @StevenWalling @turoczy Thanks! It’s consumed my brain for the last month or two, and I’m “supar” excited to finally get it off the ground! #
- Everyone needs to know that @jerry_makare, my partner in launching @isntv, deserves HUGE props. He is a camera-slinging rock star. #
- And I also have to thank my boss, @billpearson, for not only allowing crazy harebrained ideas, but encouraging them, and helping them bloom. #
- I forgot to thank @rachelbancroft for putting up with me being distracted, working early and late hours getting @isntv off the ground. #
- Tom’s Hardware also has nice things to say about Intel Software Network TV: http://bit.ly/rlvUn #
- Looking at the viewer stats for Intel Software Network TV, considering a small heart attack. A LOT of people are watching. Wow! #
- @turoczy Silicon Florist looks and works fine on my Kindle: http://twitpic.com/6pfbe in reply to turoczy #
- @turoczy No problem! Silicon Florist might actually be the first paid blog I stay subscribed to on my Kindle. in reply to turoczy #
- @turoczy I’d do it, man. Just for you. in reply to turoczy #

- @jmoriarty EasyPeasy is REALLY nice, you should definitely try it. in reply to jmoriarty #
- I like turtles: http://bit.ly/ALjVv #
- Severe T-storm Warning, eh? This sounds like a job for… *dun dun dun DUUUN*! PDX! Twitter! Storm! Team! Get your hashtags ready! #pdxtst #
- @rachelbancroft just called me to say that the wind is blowing garbage cans and lawn chairs down the street at our house in Aloha. #pdxtst #
- Animated WUnderground weather map shows that Portland is about to get NAILED. http://bit.ly/3GhvUq #pdxtst #
- Well hello there, @portlandthunder. You’re quite dramatic. #
- How did we ever enjoy big weather events before Twitter? It’s so informational and connected. We experience it together! #pdxtst #
I’ve always liked this one.
@Jerry “The specified image does not exist”
Well never mind then. I’ll paint you a picture then…George Bush standing in front of a computer with a befuddled expression on his face, and his fingers in the “hunt and peck” formation. All of this with the same caption as your kitty cat picture.
