Grandma at home with Izzy, parents on the way to #BarCampRDU… #
So far most of the sessions pitched at #barcamprdu are too technical for me. Thinking about pitching a mini #predevcamp session. #palm #pre #
. @ncho I’m bummed that you’re not here, too! #barcamprdu in reply to ncho #
Looking at http://developer.palm.com in preparation for my #BarCampRDU session on #PalmPre development for noobs. #
RT @moonshark: learning about the < ieCanSuckIt > tag Clinton claims will be in HTML5 Hrmmm… #BarCampRDU #
Promise I will blog my list of way to make the #PalmPre better. Thx to the guys who came to my #predevcamp for noobs at #barcamprdu #
Thanks especially to @mgkimsal and @moonshark for making the #palmpre discussion at #barcampRDU much more useful & interesting. #
Now in @snoopdave’s session on #opensocial and wishing Facebook would get with the program. #barcampRDU. #
@hariharank12 Hi, I’m a person, not the language. Just FYI. #wrongruby in reply to hariharank12 #
@DJDAZMIX I’m not a cafe, and I’m not in Santa Barbara either. Have fun tonight! #wrongruby in reply to DJDAZMIX #
Looking forward to hearing the report out of @brianr’s #geekdad session at #barcamprdu. Pls tweet if yr in there. #
RT @dgtlpapercuts: In #geekdad session by @brianr He wants to get his 4 mo old son in front of command line ASAP. #barcamprdu #
@steveburnett Aw. Best of luck with yr plumbing. You will be missed at #BarCampRDU. in reply to steveburnett #
Save some for the rest of us. RT @lazyphiphi: Mmmm…this JQuery koolaid is tasty. #barcamprdu #
Thanks @SteveBurnett for the reminder about the awesome Sun-Ra-inspired event in Durham today. http://is.gd/288B8 #
Cool – the women’s room at RedHat has a private room for nursing! (Nice place for pumping as well.) #lactation #motherhood #barcampRDU #
Debated attending sessions on #productivity or #polka at #barcampRDU. Chose the former, but reserving the right to go dance instead. #
Finding that the submariner model may not work as well for non-programmers. Or may be better In diff intervals (per @timross). #barcampRDU #
RT @kanter: #tcamp09 mentions IBM four eyes – visualization site – here’s a wealth of resources on the topic http://bit.ly/flUOv #
Kick butt, Dave! RT @dcm: about to lead a discussion on transparency in financial regulation…. yes, you read that right #tcamp09 #
Some good suggestions from participants about how to be a submariner (ie: focus) when your coworkers don’t support it. #barcampRDU #
Finally going to check out Google Wave (@ #barcampRDU) b/c @BrianR keeps telling me I will dig it. Is everyone here b/c they want invites? #
@BillHiggins I’m watching you type. #barcamprdu #googlewave #
Note the Wave demo is being done in Chrome browser. Another way for #Google to suck us into the Borg… #barcampRDU #thenextMicrosoft #
http://twitpic.com/d6n93 – Google Wave tries to answer the Q “what would e-mail look like if i t was invented today?” Demo @ #barcampRDU #
@BillHiggins Cool. Is Google committed to making Wave work on other browsers? in reply to BillHiggins #
Thk U, Dave! Rtwt @snoopdave: thanks for attending my #barcamprdu OpenSocial session; here’s the link to my slides again http://bit.ly/bbinA #
Hey, when did @Twitter change search? It’s themed with my account and I can save searches in my sidebar. eg: http://is.gd/28eUS #
Really should have gotten off my ass and gone to @vintagedance’s polka session at #barcampRDU. #do-overs #
I think the robots in Google Wave are going to take over the world. #beafraid #planetfthebots #
@spader I’m a person, not the language. Stick with the #ruby hashtag. #wrongruby in reply to spader #
Oh right! RT @rossgrady: We call it ManyEyes: http://manyeyes.alphaworks.ibm.com (#tcamp09 mentions IBM four eyes – visualization site) #
Ten Ten Chinese Buffet in Raleigh FTL. It was my own bad idea, but I hope I never eat there again. #
@chillnc That sounds like a pretty nice way to spend a day. And spend an hour catching up on Twitter and it’ll be almost like being there. in reply to chillnc #
(Sort of) wishing I had the time to do something like learn javascript and create Palm Pre apps. #

MacBook’s new all-touch trackpad is neat, but there’s no place to rest my hand which leads to accidental swipes that I can’t disable. Grr. #
Not very open, @lastfm! Rtwt @songbirdteam: @ruby We don’t like it either and can assure you it’s not *our* rule. http://tinyurl.com/nyhz3f #
Had dinner at the first LEED-certified fast food restaurant in NC. (Lame.) #

@somemandy Wha? #wrongruby in reply to somemandy #
@stetsonkpatton Yes some of my episodes are quite entertaining. #wrongruby in reply to stetsonkpatton #
@somemandy That’s OK, it happens a lot. Maybe you or @ruby1201 can explain this to @tikapanggabean. #wrongruby in reply to somemandy #
Walking by the playground where I went to preschool and “Connected” (by Foreign Exchange) comes on. Feeling it. #liveinmyhometown #

While in jail Euna Lee made sure her husband sent in school app for her daughter! #motherhood #unstoppable http://mochimag.com/blog/?p=1424 #
Here’s the video of Euna Lee’s daughter glued to her: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8185796.stm #motherhood is #unstoppable #
And can I just say that the media should have been this interested in the imprisoned journalists WHILE THEY WERE STILL IN PRISON. #
Pissed that #Songbird requires me to be a last.fm subscriber to play their streams, even though @lastfm’s own player doesn’t. @songbirdteam #

Bus driver today: “another day above ground.” He meant alive, but it made me think of living underground and @neilhimself’s Neverwhere. #
@coxn Did you ‘splain it to him/her or just ask for the boss? #dangerousHRpractices in reply to coxn #
Ditto, Steve! Rtwt @steveburnett: @TEDxAVL Only 400 seats and no advance tickets = risk that driving from Raleigh is a wasted trip. #TEDxAVL #

I <3 U http://TriangleTransit.org, but your web site sucks so hard… #
Triangle Transit’s trip finder suggests I should get out & walk 9 mi to the mall. http://is.gd/22tjz Don’t make me start the #TTAfail tag. #
The funny thing abt this is that there IS a bus (the 412/413) that goes from Duke Hospital (near my ofc) to Southpoint (the mall). #TTAfail #

Heh. Rtwt @natthedem: Now that Bill Clinton’s bringing home hostages, whatever you got Obama for his b-day pretty much pales in comparison. #
Rtwt @LiberateLaura: There is now no reason for @Current to remain silent. C’mon new CEO Mark Rosenthal; get that press release out pronto! #
@philklein @kanter What I crave is to be with like minds in the #nptech field. We often see each other @ events but… (1/2) in reply to philklein #
@philklein @kanter …we’re often the ones teaching *others* and we don’t get to connect with each other. We’re the NTC veterans. (2/2) #
@philklein I’d prefer an #unconference (eg: barcamp). There’s minimal structure, but it helps to sort people and ideas out of chaos. #nptech in reply to philklein #
@philklein I don’t get that unconferences are presentation-oriented. They’re also an opportunity for deeper learning, conversation, fun. in reply to philklein #

Playing Stump The Genius at my local Apple Store. #
Offered to reformat my HD, like I couldn’t do that. Now offering to replace the whole drive, but none are in stock. #
. @BrianR @myNameisJason @kirohara @steveburnett I won Stump the Genius. Prize: a new, blank hard drive in 2 days. No data lost, just time. in reply to myNameisJason #
.@myNameisJason I’d call it acceptable, not wonderful. The reason no data was lost is that it’s a BRAND NEW computer. in reply to myNameisJason #
. @jennababin Good job on The Story today. I liked the juxtaposition of civil rights history and gay rights today. in reply to jennababin #
@philklein That’s a problem with any conference. If well-organized, BarCamp often lets the smaller, “minority” voices emerge. in reply to philklein #
@TheBarefootRose Who are you and why are you in my room? #wrongruby in reply to TheBarefootRose #
@msfour When Izzy starts writing his own tweets, we’ll count. Another is @waynesutton’s fam wife @latoyasutton, mom @gwensutton, etc. in reply to msfour #

UP! with babies was a success. Amazed to learn that 5 of the 6 couples (all from our childbirth class) were married in July/Aug 2006! #
