- I'm at Books-a-Million (Florence). http://4sq.com/9ohulC #
- Um, did Vidly get hacked into a phishing scheme? If not, their homepage is a bit toooo minimalistic for me. http://img.ly/zLP #
- @a_askew I didn't read the article yet, but that happens with all big earthquakes. It's a standard "let's take this from a new angle" story. in reply to a_askew #
- I must say, I too wish it would go away... RT @ikepigott: This unending cold is old. #seussday #
- @jhummrich Incentive to keep recording. ;) in reply to jhummrich #
- There's so much one could say, but almost none not-inflammatory. ... The show is called "Idol" after all. #
- @at_phillips You're not the only one. Do what I did: switch to Google Voice voicemail so you get a TXT when there's a new message. in reply to at_phillips #
- @jeremyflint Didn't you already have it from a previous heist? in reply to jeremyflint #
- @jeremyflint It wasn't a "heist" technically, but in a MacUpdate bundle, including Parallels: http://bit.ly/a5MRVT in reply to jeremyflint #
- @_SarahWilder "tolliewilliams" - what's yours? in reply to _SarahWilder #
- Apple is behaving so tyrannical, at this point, I'm embarrassed to have an iPhone. Their vice-roy, AT&T, doesn't help. #
- @AZLK Oh, I've already declared I'm going to the Nexus One. I just backed out of TMobile last minute because of their coverage. in reply to AZLK #
- An unthought-out idea for reforming innovation: 1) no product= no patent. 2) after the patent-product is >33% of its market, patent expires. #
- A question I get a lot: What wireless routers do you use that are rock-solid reliable? (I've only had success with WRT54g & Apple Airports.) #
- Give the solution AND name the movie: (It was pretty much the only thing on TV; I'm not a fan.) lim x->0, [ln (1-x)-sin x] / (1-cos^2 x) #

- Whoa, Whoa. Instead of open-sourcing abandonware, M$ sells it on Amazon for 3x retail? $130 for CloseCombat?! http://img.ly/xXt #
- @chaseathompson It's close 2 happening n the US 2. If u haven't seen it, http://carlosmiller.com documents numerous "police state" accounts. in reply to chaseathompson #
- ATH+++ #
- ATA #
- Wow. If this BNO news about a 8.5 quake off the coast of Chile is accurate, Sydney could be in trouble. I don't know; just speculating. #
- Ok, looking at where the quake was Sydney is probably safe, but still- a lot of populated cities on the coast of S.America & perhaps Hawaii. #
- Ok, I'm going 2 bed. No reports are going 2 come n from the MOST impacted areas 'til tomrrw. As of right now: Tsunami facts r still unclear. #
- Looks like the models didn't fit this tsunami very well. In good news, it sounds like it's arriving as a large progressive ripple (my words) #
- An earthquake is bad enough, but thankfully, it looks like the tsunami was unusual, & "rippled out" n a way that didn't do any major damage. #

- @at_phillips Yes, at their option, after couseling with an elder they will be presented for membership or baptism, whichever is appropriate. in reply to at_phillips #
- @abstractrandom Just FWIW, Foursquare now lets you move the pin if it's off, & they're considering my idea http://goo.gl/uHrj on sub-venues. in reply to abstractrandom #
- Google planned 4 this #Buzz apology all along. Auto-follow was essential 2 encourage use. Then, they knew it'd look good 2 "listen" & react. #
- Name your favorite John Williams song (if you can). Mine would possibly be the theme from Star Trek 1st Contact: http://youtu.be/JW2LMGeUnj0 #
- @nsstcweather Best I can tell, it's all rain here in Decatur. No snow, although roads probably have some black ice. Was 1-2" forecast wrong? in reply to nsstcweather #
- Charter robo-calls me 3 times in 2 days to confirm my appt, most recently: 2 hours ago with an hour-long window- and they're still late... #
- Well, to Charter's credit, they only missed the window by 15 minutes. Still not a fan of the robo-calls though. #
- @gradywhiteside Right Thinking in a World Gone Wrong: A Biblical Response to Controversial Issues by John MacArthur: http://bit.ly/ai5acH in reply to gradywhiteside #
- So I just noticed that my infrequently updated blog has averaged over 1000 uniques per _week_, for months now. Time to start updating it? #
- @abstractrandom After #UNA #039;s blunder by waiting until 11 to close, when the snow was piling up at 8am, can you blame them? in reply to abstractrandom #
- @abstractrandom For the $ they have to pay for class, in the event they'll lose grade points for missing, it's a cost/benefit/risk analysis. in reply to abstractrandom #
- @abstractrandom That all said, if the high schools r opening on time, UNA probably should 2. But, UNA still looks incompetent from last Mon. in reply to abstractrandom #
- @snnat17 It's just more reminder of how commercial the Olympics. They want to try and keep you watching [their commercials]. in reply to snnat17 #
- 30 seconds is a long time. If someone asks you 2 summarize your product or service in 30 seconds, please don't act as if you have 3 seconds. #
- Thanks to this Time Life "Rock Fame" ad, I've just discovered that it's "Sweet Emotion" rather than "Free Motion." Who knew? #
- Just noticed that the "voice guy" 4 a podcast I work on stumbled & restarted, but it slipped past the editor. No big deal, just kinda funny. #
- @danielrhorton I agree. If it amounts to defamatory, students should face charges- not detention. If not libel, school has no biz punishing. in reply to danielrhorton #
- @BrianTweeted The mediocre and apathetic, at 14, don't know what they want to be. But! The notable do. eg. Watched the Olympics lately? in reply to BrianTweeted #

- @JSimpson1789 That _is_ crazy. in reply to JSimpson1789 #
- @JSimpson1789 So I'm seeing. Typical. At least county schools had enough common sense to close. I hearby declare UNA de facto closed. :-) in reply to JSimpson1789 #
- It's too bad that UNA doesn't have a way to quickly send info (like, "closed/delayed") to its students. Oh wait- they do. They just didn't. #
- @abstractrandom It's a lack of common sense typical of city schools & universities. Like not shaking hands of graduates due to fear of H1N1. in reply to abstractrandom #
- The snow has thus far completely missed Decatur. #
- Asking all #UNA students: tweet your photos of snow with the #UNA tag so they can be found (and seen on <http://www.una.edu/twitter>). #

- It is never a good thing when you look on the desk and notice that your iPhone is mysteriously rebooting. #
- @abstractrandom I think I've settled on 4square. The categories on Gowalla R a good idea poorly implemented. Otherwise, 4square is superior. in reply to abstractrandom #
- @jgonis It only did it once. I really think (w/ reason) it's related to Beejive crashing. I've never been impressed with the Beejive coding. in reply to jgonis #
- @jgonis It also pushes Facebook chat and Gtalk. (And MSN and Yahoo.) But again, w/ reason, I think it's poorly coded and crashy. in reply to jgonis #

- @1011TheSource I would RT your message, but that part about being able to listen online doesn't work, and rarely does. Does it work for you? in reply to 1011TheSource #
- iTunes on OSX changed how zoom works- again. Now the button does mini-mode, but cmd+ctrl+z resizes. Yet Apple rejects iPhone apps for icons? #
- Buzz thoughts: Good yet ominous that they auto-follow your contacts list. However, it risks becoming another "dumping ground" for importing. #
- I use Google Apps, but now I'm migrating multiple domains (aliases) - with active email accounts - over to it. Anything I should know? #
- I don't think #Buzz gets this: With 99% of the content being tweets, I have better tools 2 read that- ergo: no incentive 2 go 2 / read Buzz. #
- @1011TheSource Ah. Maybe so. Thanks for the info. in reply to 1011TheSource #

- .@a_askew For that matter, China's opening ceremony NEVER aired in its entirety in America. They *sold* it on DVD later. #
- According to those who know, if u're going 2 b voted out, u want 2 go early. That way, u enjoy a nice hotel, while the rest try 2 survive. #

- RT @danielrhorton: AL.com and WHNT are reporting that 10 people were shot at the UAH Shelby Center. I have no idea what's really going on. #
- RT @danielrhorton: Can anyone on the #UAHuntsville campus speak to the Shelby Center reports? I pray this is just a big miscommunication. #
- via http://whnt.com : Reports of a shooting at UAH. We have no official word yet, about the severity of the shooting. #
- RT @LoriMillerWHNT: UAHuntsville "event" at Shelby Center, @whnt showing live video of someone held by police #
- RT @danielrhorton: We just locked down the library. #
- WHNT reporting: David Spillers of Huntsville hospital saying 10 people in route to the hospital. #UAHuntsville #
- WHNT repeating information from scanner: Looking for 2nd, white, shooter named "Doug." #UAHuntsville #
- WHNT confirming via 911 call center "sources": 2 dead, 2 critical, looking for victims. Shooters in custody. #UAHuntsville #
- WHNT reporting: all victims are faculty or staff. #UAHuntsville. #
- Wow, a really brave & composed daughter of a #UAHuntsville Biology professor on @WHNT. She hasn't been able to contact her mother. #
- Gosh, also tragic news: an Olympic athlete from Georgia (the country) has died after flying over an edge on the luge: http://bit.ly/9hnavd #
- @luvtheheaven Yes. :( in reply to luvtheheaven #
- via @HsvTimes: Bio prof & husband detained in UAH shooting. They have not been charged with a crime. #
- A fairly annoying local radio guy is claiming 2 know the ID of the shooter. I've seen no other word on this: Amy Bishop http://bit.ly/d7FnX1 #
- Picture of woman in custody: RT @blogomattic: @tollie here is your proof. http://media.al.com/huntsville-times/photo/-93b36a383a9e66de.jpg #
- RT @adinges: Interesting- CNN brkng news email at 5:02, @sollek got UAH alert email at 5:08. On the nat'l news before the campus alert systm #
- RT @Mintz: Just realized I interviewed Amy Bishop once for the school paper: http://exponent.uah.edu/?p=549 Did NOT see this coming... #
- That would make it 2+ hours later that twitter: RT @drakenoboe: @tollie I got mine like 20 minutes ago. #
- Let's just face it: *every* school P.D. should have their twitter team on speed dial and have students follow an emergency/closings account. #
- On a small positive note: I've never seen better reporting than @WHNT's now, including their live web feed. Also impressed by UAH spokesman. #
- RT @JohnLBurger: Still unbelievable to me that a shooting just happened. . . . Please pray for the faculty. Thank God no students involved. #
- My last tweet on this for the night, just affirming what most know: RT @aldotcom: UAH biology professor Dr. Amy Bishop in custody. #
- @JanersM Thanks for the reply. I'm sure by now that it's confirmed. Heck, it's been confirmed by everyone but police and some media. in reply to JanersM #
- Ok, 1 more: When did the police become the proprietor of truth? If u have confirmation- go with it. You're the 4th estate, not executive PR. #
- @drakenoboe Sadly, I think they know, but they also know more will click if they think it's Tuscaloosa. in reply to drakenoboe #
- @danielrhorton But they apparently have confirmation. What they don't have is the police's word, but that's NOT confirmation. in reply to danielrhorton #
- @danielrhorton It's as if saying the police *only* tell the truth, therefor we wait on them. But that's a poor approach to true reporting. in reply to danielrhorton #
- @danielrhorton Just FWIW, I should say, the police generally do tell the truth, however, & I greatly value and appreciate their brave work. in reply to danielrhorton #
- @nsstcweather Florence to Decatur via HW 20 should be ok for the night, right? Thanks for your updates! in reply to nsstcweather #
- @nsstcweather thanks. If I see anything, I'll tweet. in reply to nsstcweather #

- @brightsides Why would you want to do that? in reply to brightsides #
- @walter25 To sync iPhoto with what? in reply to walter25 #
- @walter25 I think DropBox would work for that. An iPhoto Library should appear as a folder to it, but it should work. in reply to walter25 #
- @walter25 Oh. I don't know anywhere that lets you store that much online for free. If just local Macs, I love Seagate Free Agent USB drives. in reply to walter25 #
- @jeremyflint I've found your problem: http://bit.ly/aazkrz No seriously. The iPhone uses the cell towers to help figure out the coordinates. in reply to jeremyflint #
- @BrianTweeted @ckamel Can you tweet a picture of this "cone crosswalk?" in reply to BrianTweeted #
- @grahamhancock Fact Check: The IQ scores listed on that chart r bogus! Based on a liberal professor's algorithm & non-psychometrist testing. in reply to grahamhancock #
- @grahamhancock Even w/ new census data the algorithm is still bogus. IQ does not = a math+reading score multiplied by a "race coefficient." in reply to grahamhancock #
- So if I know you in person, & follow you on twitter, but you don't follow me back, or worse, un-follow, what am I supposed to infer exactly? #
- @ikepigott I suppose that's possible, but unlikely unless they're a social media wiz. And IMHO, without stating such, it's perhaps rude. 2ยข. in reply to ikepigott #
- How does ABCFam air Secret Life of Teenager (horribly bad & wrong worldview) back to back with Make It Or Break It (reasonably redemptive)? #
- @candacecbure It's striking the difference in messages about sex btwn Secret Life & MioBi. What's the inside story on the Summer speech? :) in reply to candacecbure #
- @StubbornRooster B/c MIOBI is actually good TV. But I have no excuse 4 Secret Life. It was on, & I was 2 disinterested 2 change the channel. in reply to StubbornRooster #
- @candacecbure Really? Well, praise be to God for His allowing you to share a (small) part of His truth, through your character on cable TV! in reply to candacecbure #
- @StubbornRooster It is, and like Stick It, it has a surprisingly good message. in reply to StubbornRooster #
- How is this nonsense FUD on TechMeme? http://bit.ly/b8btmf If anything, it's less of a problem than most, because tools work AS IS for some. #
- I think daringfireballwithcomments.net is a blatant example of how NOT 2 use RSS. Since DF is (c), I'm pretty sure it's not fair use either. #

- Foursquare or Gowalla? #
- @FrankRamblings I didn't realize that Foursquare works on iPod Touches. How? Gowalla is the one that doesn't care about your GPS coordinates in reply to FrankRamblings #
- @FrankRamblings Ah, ok. So it uses Skyhook. Impressive. @StubbornRooster Gowalla is a 4square competitor. Identical ideas done differently. in reply to FrankRamblings #
- @StubbornRooster Haha. Thanks. It's not so much a decision as it is a poll of people in the area. in reply to StubbornRooster #
- @FrankRamblings Personally, I like the "atmosphere" of foursquare better, but I'm curious to see what locals are using. in reply to FrankRamblings #
- I think I'm going to borrow this one from @ikepigott - What should I know tomorrow? If I were answering, I'd say only 2 weeks until the TCC. #
- @StephenWolfe @jeremyflint Thanks. I'm thinking I'll do both, since it looks like there's not that many using either in my area, for now. in reply to StephenWolfe #
- @StephenWolfe @jeremyflint Which means I'll be completely useless in shifting the balance between the 2. I'll leave that to others, I guess. #

- @Ms_Library_Lady Your third tweet! Keep it up. :) in reply to Ms_Library_Lady #

- Questions that need answering. As the media inquire and authorities investigate, I hope they'll look at 1) What time did the student arrive? #
- 2) If the shooter arrived on time, then why did he delay? What warning signs might have existed that could have tipped teachers off? #
- 3) If the shooter checked in, or left and returned, what was the given reason? Do late check-ins need to be re-evaluated for security? #
- 4) How did the shooter acquire the firearm? Is better education about gun-safety needed for the community? #
- 5) Was there an ongoing issue- emotional, mental, or social- that should have been noticed and counseled? #
- It appears to be so, but also in need of answering: RT @anothertomorrow Did the shooter only choose to shoot 1 person? #

- I guess it's prudent not to drive to the Shoals today, so I'll have to watch online: http://bit.ly/d32SUq Hopefully the ice will melt by PM. #
- @MelBel711 Where are you driving, and is there a lot of ice on the road? in reply to MelBel711 #
- @MelBel711 What road are you on, and is there a lot of ice? Thanks. in reply to MelBel711 #
- "Why do you Baptists preach . . once saved always saved? Because I'm resting in *His* power that holds onto me." -@GraceLifeShoals #TCC10 #
- @walter25 I have been using DropBox for a long time. It stands out not just for online backup, but for group sync- with really cool mashups. in reply to walter25 #
- @brightsides Why would you want to do that? in reply to brightsides #
- @walter25 To sync iPhoto with what? in reply to walter25 #
- @walter25 I think DropBox would work for that. An iPhoto Library should appear as a folder to it, but it should work. in reply to walter25 #
- @walter25 Oh. I don't know anywhere that lets you store that much online for free. If just local Macs, I love Seagate Free Agent USB drives. in reply to walter25 #
- @jeremyflint I've found your problem: http://bit.ly/aazkrz No seriously. The iPhone uses the cell towers to help figure out the coordinates. in reply to jeremyflint #
- @BrianTweeted @ckamel Can you tweet a picture of this "cone crosswalk?" in reply to BrianTweeted #
- @grahamhancock Fact Check: The IQ scores listed on that chart r bogus! Based on a liberal professor's algorithm & non-psychometrist testing. in reply to grahamhancock #
- @grahamhancock Even w/ new census data the algorithm is still bogus. IQ does not = a math+reading score multiplied by a "race coefficient." in reply to grahamhancock #
- So if I know you in person, & follow you on twitter, but you don't follow me back, or worse, un-follow, what am I supposed to infer exactly? #
- @ikepigott I suppose that's possible, but unlikely unless they're a social media wiz. And IMHO, without stating such, it's perhaps rude. 2ยข. in reply to ikepigott #
- How does ABCFam air Secret Life of Teenager (horribly bad & wrong worldview) back to back with Make It Or Break It (reasonably redemptive)? #
- @candacecbure It's striking the difference in messages about sex btwn Secret Life & MioBi. What's the inside story on the Summer speech? :) in reply to candacecbure #
- @StubbornRooster B/c MIOBI is actually good TV. But I have no excuse 4 Secret Life. It was on, & I was 2 disinterested 2 change the channel. in reply to StubbornRooster #
- @candacecbure Really? Well, praise be to God for His allowing you to share a (small) part of His truth, through your character on cable TV! in reply to candacecbure #
- @StubbornRooster It is, and like Stick It, it has a surprisingly good message. in reply to StubbornRooster #
- How is this nonsense FUD on TechMeme? http://bit.ly/b8btmf If anything, it's less of a problem than most, because tools work AS IS for some. #
- I think daringfireballwithcomments.net is a blatant example of how NOT 2 use RSS. Since DF is (c), I'm pretty sure it's not fair use either. #
- @_SarahWilder I thought you LOST fans called being utterly confused entertainment. in reply to _SarahWilder #
- Foursquare or Gowalla? #
- @FrankRamblings I didn't realize that Foursquare works on iPod Touches. How? Gowalla is the one that doesn't care about your GPS coordinates in reply to FrankRamblings #
- @FrankRamblings Ah, ok. So it uses Skyhook. Impressive. @StubbornRooster Gowalla is a 4square competitor. Identical ideas done differently. in reply to FrankRamblings #
- @StubbornRooster Haha. Thanks. It's not so much a decision as it is a poll of people in the area. in reply to StubbornRooster #
- @FrankRamblings Personally, I like the "atmosphere" of foursquare better, but I'm curious to see what locals are using. in reply to FrankRamblings #
- I think I'm going to borrow this one from @ikepigott - What should I know tomorrow? If I were answering, I'd say only 2 weeks until the TCC. #
- @StephenWolfe @jeremyflint Thanks. I'm thinking I'll do both, since it looks like there's not that many using either in my area, for now. in reply to StephenWolfe #
- @StephenWolfe @jeremyflint Which means I'll be completely useless in shifting the balance between the 2. I'll leave that to others, I guess. #
- @ikepigott I think weathermen invented that day, to shift the blame off them and onto a clueless fauna. in reply to ikepigott #
- @Ms_Library_Lady Your third tweet! Keep it up. :) in reply to Ms_Library_Lady #
- @ikepigott But there is some value in "grooming" yourself 4 followers- so twitter can be a conversation. W/o them it is a feature-poor blog. in reply to ikepigott #
- A problem w/ Star Wars being SO epic- John Williams's main title will always elicit SW imagery, overshadowing how awesome the song is alone. #
- .@grahamhancock They're doing OK lately. New PHP code. New layout. Home Feed almost as good as c. 2007. Except: the new (no) privacy system. #

- Warning: @twitter is not showing all @ mentions via web or API. It is only showing @ replies that start with '@'. RT this to get their ATTN. #
- A Miss UNA 2009 Contestant. A: Um, I've been trying to car pool more. Because I believe we need to keep the ozone more- um, less- oppressed. #
- Classic moments from Miss UNA 2009. Hostess: "We'd like to thank Ricitoris. - Oh now what. - Well y'all knew which one I was talking about." #
- Reformed and Reforming - Songs for Worship and Praise, iTunes iMix: http://bit.ly/iMixReformed - More on Facebook: http://bit.ly/25Reformed #
- 10-6 #
- Yet another trip to the #Huntsville Apple store & another bad experience. They closed at 8p, & were rudely ignoring us, but website says 9p! #
- On 2nd look, I may have misread the website hours, but that still doesn't excuse the ignoring & rude gestures of the Apple guy. #Huntsville #
- You might be in #Huntsville if... The Barnes and Noble has this book on its shelves: http://img.ly/pCQ #
- @_SarahWilder Perhaps more significantly, besides socialism- agnostic pluralism. But sadly, I think that's why people like the song. in reply to _SarahWilder #
- @adam_goodman That would be an RSO that students can join, right? in reply to adam_goodman #
- @adam_goodman I'm glad to hear that. The pool still needs more open hours, available to all student though, IMHO. #
- About to start meta-covering the #Apple event. Biggest tech innovation news since the iPhone. I'm following IRCs, blogs, streams, & twitter. #
- .@tsutrav I have Twitlive on my TV, gizmodo, gdgt, engadget, and ,macrumors on one computer. Twitter and IRC on the other. in reply to tsutrav #
- 15 minutes until the Apple event starts. Invitees are being seated. Bootleg live streams are popping up. 3000 viewers on one alone. #
- @tsutrav None really. I'm just watching Apple, Tablet, iPhone, and Steve in reply to tsutrav #
- 5 minutes before the event, rumors and photos continue to come in: http://i.gizmodo.com/5458217/is-this-the-outside-of-the-apple-tablet #
- Ustream bootleg video is struggling. If anyone wants 5000 viewers on Ustream, a use keyword #Apple, turn speakers up loud, & film your desk. #
- Al Gore is there (as usual). Bob Dylan music is playing - probably because #Apple's sponsoring his upcoming tour. Bootleg has 7000 viewers+. #
- Steve Jobs has taken the stage. TwitLive.tv has audio and can probably handle it. Another Ustream bootleg video. Live blog posting photos. #
- Steve is going over the usual growth numbers. iPods, retail stores, revenue, etc. Summary: Apple is a successful company. #
- Early impression: Steve is going for his legacy now. Now showing photos of him and Woz in the garage, talking history. #
- "And now let's talk about the main event... I want to go back to 1991." Setting up the idea of a device in the middle of a phone & computer. #
- iTablet is the name. #
- Just kidding, it's called - sigh, the iPad. #
- So far, iPad looks like a big iPod touch with a very large bevel. One physical button on the front: the Home button. #
- On screen keyboard takes up approximately half the screen when iPad is turned sideways. First impression: iPhone owners won't want this. #
- And silence. All bootleg streams went down at the same time, and now they're back up. Apple staff, or MiFi overload? #
- So far, the only improvements shown r related 2 a larger screen. Gut sense of the reaction thus far is unimpressed. He will need a 2nd act. #
- IRC channels stating that Apple AAPL is down 2.2%. Buy on the rumor, sell on the news. IRC also reporting, no iPad jailbreak yet. :) #
- Zachary Quinto and Star Trek fans will be glad to know that JJ Abrams Spock got a cameo in the demo. #
- European IRC network, IRCnet, is dead silent. Demo is continuing. gdgt likes the UI. This appears to be a very "non-techy" device. #
- Quinto and Star Trek fans will continue to be excited. Gizmodo reporting seeing a "flash not installed" icon. This is a big, thin iPod touch #
- Big news: Just went through talking about wireless and no mention of cellular connection. Also, no mention of new content partnerships. #
- I told you, this is a bad name! / via Chase Thompson: Apple still does not control iPad.com #
- #Apple may not have iPad.com but it's ok- they never got iTV.com or AppleTV.com either, and we know that's been a great product. Oh wait... #
- At this point, the device isn't revolutionary, so I'm slowing down my tweeting. Continuing at this point would be buying into propaganda. #
- Re "iPad": I predict almost as many jokes as made about the Wii. This time, toward the female demographic. Equal opportunity immaturity. :) #
- Thus far: #iPad. 9.7" screen. Runs iPhone apps. No cellular. No Adobe Flash. 10hr battery. No camera or mic. No word on price, or iPhone 4. #
- @danielrhorton I could agree more. How on earth did the media (and us geeks) hype this up to "revolutionary game changer?" in reply to danielrhorton #
- Steve announcing Apple iPad app: iBooks, & announcing the "iBook Store," starting today. Don't know if app will be available for iPhone yet. #
- Phil now demoing iWork for the #iPad. A multi-touch office suite is innovative. But question: Will #Apple let them run in the background? #
- @jeremyflint If the price is over $700, they'll go below 200. in reply to jeremyflint #
- Steve is finally talking about cellular. He said it has 3G. 250MB (laugh), $15. Unlimited data- $30 prepay. Worst news yet: AT&T #ATT #fail #
- Not surprisingly, NOT ONE PERSON in ANY chat I'm watching, is happy about the iPad now, on the news of AT&T. #
- Pricing is very non-Apple like. You'll need a grid. 6 prices, starting at $500. 3G costs additional $130. At least AT&T wasn't forced on us. #
- If anyone actually buys the iPad with AT&T 3G, imagine the continued data congestion. It's delayed - I'm guessing at the request of AT&T. #
- The Keyboard Dock http://bit.ly/bv45aN reminds me of an old school Palm PDA. Just saying. #
- Event is over. Apple.com has been updated. iPad is a flop out of the gate, IMHO. #
- Updating my last tweet: Apple.com is up, Apple Developer Connection is down. iPad is a flop for geeks, but probably a hit for the non-techy. #
- @lifeofless See my updated tweet: http://twitter.com/tollie/status/8291228947 - a flop for geeks. A hit for non-techy. in reply to lifeofless #
- .@cmpalmer For that, it's overpriced. No Flash. No camera/mic (for Skype). I won't be surprised if it stutters on 1080p H.264 video, either. #
- Ok, I'm forcing myself to hold off all further #iPad updates for now. Time to move on. I think the Jobs distortion field missed me on this 1 #
- @cmpalmer Oh, and yeah, no backgrounded apps, or minimizing windows. in reply to cmpalmer #
- It sounds like there was more people watching TWiTLive, than typically watch Headline News or MSNBC. #
- @jgonis Well played. in reply to jgonis #

- @JSimpson1789 Well, it's supposed to snow and freezing rain tomorrow, so enjoy it for now. in reply to JSimpson1789 #

- @BarbaraNixon Thanks. :) in reply to BarbaraNixon #
- iPad tablet vs. stone tablet: http://i.imgur.com/5vREa.png / via @hoopylinz #
- I put it down, but I hope iPad does wells. It's by far the most exciting platform to develop for. The approval process must be fixed though. #
- Plenty of work to do, but also somewhat bored. So - ask me anything anonymously: http://ow.ly/11CUG and I'll tweet again when I've replied. #
- @bamaweather Moving? in reply to bamaweather #
- @bamaweather Well, I wouldn't recommend changing your name to MissWeather. :) I hope things go well for you there, though. in reply to bamaweather #
- @jgonis The physical keyboard is a minus, in my opinion, but I completely agree with the sentiment. in reply to jgonis #
- @appletasty @walter25 Like "3G is coming soon," for the past 2 and half years? AT&T statements mean nothing until we see it happen. in reply to appletasty #
- LOL. Next, Greenpeace will probably try & recruit him: BinLaden announces he's "going green" & boycotting the USDollar. http://bit.ly/adsJea #

- I love crowd sourcing! I asked my chat friends what this random power adapter went 2 when I couldn't remember. They helped me figure it out! #
- @JSimpson1789 That's no good. Time to skip school! in reply to JSimpson1789 #
- @JSimpson1789 Well, there's nothing wrong with the being on Twitter at 5am part... in reply to JSimpson1789 #
- @_ErinT Crowd surfing, as often as I have tried it, yields headaches. Crowd sourcing- took away my headache by solving the frustrating task. #
- Visiting in the #Shoals, where Lenny's is great and AT&T Edge data is useless. #
- Way to go Amazon for driving prices down & keeping authors paid. RT @arstechnica: Amazon hikes Kindle royalties to 70% - http://arst.ch/cxs #
- @_SarahWilder That's kind of cruel. I'll admit: I buy from the great Chinese product distribution center of America. in reply to _SarahWilder #
- Ok, apparently I need to reprogram my weather alert's SAME codes. I'm getting tired of hearing all the Tennessee weather warnings. #
- And of course, as I say that, the TN warning would be a Tornado Warning, so for my Twitter friends in TN: http://bit.ly/7UbcXL #
- Hmm. wunderground has a new 3D radar in beta. Here's a 3D view of conditions over Decatur, looking North: http://bit.ly/7UbcXL #
- @amberweinberg I know. I wouldn't mind Spring weather, if Spring would just come along with it. in reply to amberweinberg #
- Multiple power flashes caught live on WHNT-HD's tower cam, and now a funnel forming live on cam over #Huntsville. #
- @danielrhorton The best I understand it, they're still "beta testing" the more precise siren activation systems. MorganCO is one of the few. in reply to danielrhorton #
- Updates: WAAY-31 also had a SD ground view of the funnel live. WHNT-19 is now airing taped HD from on the ground. Funnel is dissipating now. #
- WAAY-31 reporters stated seeing ground debris (flying trampoline). @bamaweather @danwhnt #
- @LoriMillerWHNT The unmoderated chat room is really rough. I would get rid of it, or better, replace it with an embedded IRC chat with mods. #
- For those unfortunate enough to have their timeline overwhelmed by my tornado retweets: I'm done and don't expect to do it again. Apologies. #
- To the #HSV news stations putting local pics/vid on the air/net *without credit* for the sake of rushing it (ratings), shame on you. #
- To the #Huntsville news stations putting local pics/vid on the air/net *without credit* for the sake of rushing it (ratings), shame on you. #
- @_SarahWilder Considering your previous update "Helllloooooooooo weekend!" - that's really funny. in reply to _SarahWilder #
- Impressive picture from Amanda Irons (found via WHNT): http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3930800&id=508197189 #
- Do mainstream newsmedia not realize how arrogant & hypocritical they are when they say "Stay out, AND let *us* go in instead?" #complexIssue #

- @walter25 In fact, the Tmo savings r such that getting a Verizon MiFi ($50/mo) for my iPhone to always have data- isn't out of the question. in reply to walter25 #
- @walter25 Since #TMobile is cheaper ($80=500min+unlimited data/txt) than #ATT, even after ETF fees, this will pay for itself. In fact... in reply to walter25 #
- @comcastcares FWIW, I did. I took my UPS, borrowed some1's long enuf 2 get signal, then moved the UPS in2 the car -> home. Very frustrating. in reply to comcastcares #
