@GadgeTweets How’d you find out about the #HSIS results? Their web site shows nothing, and no tweets in 200+ days.

Just now figuring out that the “TED” Chris Anderson is not the same guy as the “Long Tail” Chris Anderson.
Of course, as the old story goes… knowing WHICH three lines of code to change is the key!

Somebody at work keeps printing 8x17” documents - the printer just waits for that size paper, too dumb to skip it & print other jobs. #fail
@Tweetingkat I said the same thing on my 42nd birthday.
I already use aliases to filter email and Google Voice to filter phone calls. I wonder if/when I’ll need something similar for Twitter.

@carleemallard Awesome job on PKN… thoughts from those 14 speakers will be stirring in my head for a long while.
Uh oh, somebody “fixed the glitch” at work. No, not THAT glitch… the drink machine no longer gives 10¢ too much change.
Man, all of this self-congratulatory back-patting from co-workers is making my back sore.

@nprnews So you’ll be down to your NORMAL level of duplicate headlines?
Apparently, while chasing the @ncnearspace balloon, I picked up several bug bites… I’ve been scratchin’ all day!

@RobertFischer Sure, if you’re not too picky about the DIRECTION of the momentum and focus!

Just attended the last preparation meeting for the @ncnearspace balloon launch, coming up this Sunday 9/26.
@frijole Makes sense… and to shut down, you press “start”.
Full moon + autumnal equinox = awesome!
@pwbrewer That’s why I did not ask YOU to do it.
@pwbrewer I already wrote the python script… now we need a LIVE PERSON to pass along status info while we’re drivin’ in the boonies!

@astrohacklab I’ve been doing that a lot this week, too!
Lookiing for someone to play “mission control” for 9/26 @ncnearspace balloon launch: sit at PC, relay tweets/SMS to chase team, etc. DM me.
@bobbyllew BTW, if you limit your tweets to 126 chars (leaving 14), your followers can retweet w/o having to trim your content.

Every time I hear “Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga, I think it sounds like “proper Nazi”… I bet @alyankovic could make that work. ♫
Watching a clip from The Jetsons on YouTube. Funny how it can be both futuristic and retro at the same time!
@alanjporter Do you have a WIKI for the book? For discussing tips & tricks?
@alanjporter At one point, they DO say “wiki wiki wiki … shut up!”
@alanjporter I thought about your book yesterday. Playing “Jam On It” by Newcleus (1984) for my kids. They sing “wiki wiki wiki”!
@CaliLewis That explains his crazy hair!
@jjx Sure beats the alternative (at least you have customers).

@nivex Creepy, indeed. Got any picks for the Lotto?
This new tax reporting requirement (notice 2010-51) is unworkable. Maybe they should just print 1099 forms directly on all $100 bills.
Cool, @dropbox is not just for desktops! I just added it to a headless server, too! (invitation here -> http://db.tt/u4NTTJd)
@Indie3 OK, I have to say it… “Face of Jesus In My Soup” by Avi Paul Weinstein is friggin’ awesome. Thanks for featuring it in show #8.

Sweet! “They Might Be Giants”, the 80’s alternative rock band that now makes cool educational songs/videos, is now on Twitter at @tmbg.

@motersho Tweeting about the trip! Their (4th grade) class is really embracing new technology.
