- what’s with the juvenile “first post!” crap? Maybe popular bloggers should automatically delete those. #
- @alydenisof I believe we allow the faux Brits to use “twits” as more natural to them. in reply to alydenisof #
- I wish the cos who spam me had a minimum grasp of demographic targeting. I have NO INTEREST in Miley Cyrus tickets, thx v much AmEx! #
- @amber_benson amber_benson you’re welcome. You might remember my daughter: http://bit.ly/99e2K #
- @katlemieux thanks. Sun does a lot with SL, but I haven’t gone back to it myself since way back when I first tried it. Too much overhead. #
- @llcrowe thanks, but seems too bulky gien everything else I have to carry… in reply to llcrowe #

- was pulling into the Wal-Mart parking lot (Broomfield) when the tornado siren went. Agh! Don’t let me be trapped in Wal-Mart! #
- @bubbva fortunately, the siren didn’t last long. There was real nightmare potential there though in reply to bubbva #
- I wish I could figure out how to turn off the FB “notifications” about horoscopes. Stop spamming me with rubbish I don’t believe in. #
- phone conf today with my co-panelists from http://bit.ly/39dP3Z – we all have interesting stories to tell about enterprise social media #
- wondering if I should just turn off comments on my personal blog. It’s almost all spammers these days. Clever ones, but still spammers. #
- why does the same ticket cost $130 less on travelocity than purchasing directly from ba.com? #

- @ingenthr kayak is great for researching fares, but they actually send you to the other sites to buy in reply to ingenthr #
- @dreamofitaly flights originating in Italy are more expensive, but the SAME flight costs $130 more from ba.com than from Expedia. Boh. in reply to dreamofitaly #

- @jailmedia fortunately, the individual in question (not my daughter!) has been released in reply to jailmedia #

- will be speaking in Wellington, NZ on Extending Conversations http://bit.ly/1QQAUt July 6-8 #
- @MissExpatria Italian schoolchildren are graded on verbosity. Ross was never taught how to structure an essay, just to use fancy words. in reply to MissExpatria #
- I really, really miss the great travel agent we had in Milan. She got us tons of great deals. But the agency went out of business. #
- @lbridenne76 nah, just crushed by the global changes in the travel industry. How many travel agencies do you see around these days? in reply to lbridenne76 #
- continuing to harass corp travel. My 5+ week trip just keeps getting more complicated (and more fun!) #
- @cbs4denver experiences in Europe, esp. Ireland, show that a plastic bag tax encourages people to use reusable bags. Soon becomes a habit in reply to cbs4denver #
- I still haven’t figured out who Gen Y and Gen X even are. Except that I don’t think I’m in either, and I don’t fit the profile of any… #
- hmm. @ThinGuy says Gen Y was born post-boomer, pre-1980, @zenxacred says they were teens in late 90s/00s. I was born in 1962, grad 1981 #
- OMFG. You have got to be kidding me. Please, someone tell me this is a cruel joke. #
- videocameras manned by expensive union crews with NO F’IN TAPES IN THEM? I don’t know whether to weep or scream or just throw up. #
- there are tapes after all. I can sleep. #
- @davewiner gris gris gumbo ya ya, but apropos of what? He’s not dead, is he? in reply to davewiner #

- @kbeninato @davewiner & at the end of the live-action 101 Dalmatians, I mortified my daughter yelling in a Milan cinema: OMG it’s Dr. John! in reply to kbeninato #
- @kbeninato glad you found me. I was born in NOLA, family there still, have not been back in ages. May make it, finally, in October. in reply to kbeninato #
- covering for the boss today involves a FIVE HOUR meeting. I really don’t know how she does it. There must be secret executive stamina shots. #
- OTOH, being in a videoconf room for 5 hrs means I won’t have to listen to the jackhammering outside my office window. #
- bing search picks up my Tweets rather than content from the page they’re linking to. ??? search on “Italian slang” to see an example #
- @italylogue I think I now qualify as a reverse expat. After 17 years in Italy, the US is in many ways a foreign country to me. in reply to italylogue #
- @italylogue tons of articles in my head on moving back to the US, no time to write them! in reply to italylogue #
- anybody in Chicago? I’ll be there Monday evening-Weds evening #

- @nonstick can’t. The VP can see me on the videoconference. in reply to nonstick #
- What’s more cruelly and stupidly ironic here? The event, or the comments speculating on why it occurred? http://bit.ly/AQmYb #
- Indian colleges ban jeans to ‘protect’ girls http://bit.ly/Ouyjs – “eve teasing” happens to women in Indian clothing, too! #
- “In Italy, the general assumption is that someone is guilty until proven innocent.” http://bit.ly/DzVlh – ? how do you explain Berlusconi? #
- @kbeninato NOLA at Halloween wd be amazing, but I’ll be in Tuscon then in reply to kbeninato #
- I need a hug #
- thanks for the hugs, folks! Will that also work for margaritas? ; ) #
- A parade of window cleaners passes. Wonder if they have trouble with the owls #
- @dave_enz looks good! in reply to dave_enz #
- @jeffreytaylor zoned printer cartridges? that is totally weird. What is their excuse? in reply to jeffreytaylor #
- @jeffreytaylor but you told anyway. ; ) in reply to jeffreytaylor #
- moving finished projects off my Mac and onto archive to make room for new video. Finally getting some use out of that Thumper I bragged on. #
- Dinner: pasta with pesto the real Genovese way, with potatoes and green beans #
- I’d be more excited about the upcoming weekend were it not for the suspicion that I’ll be doing a lot of work… #
- @lskrocki thanks – and rather appropriate for me right now! in reply to lskrocki #
- @ajkeen you paying the tickets? in reply to ajkeen #
- @lskrocki actually, I was referring to the song. ; ) but, yes, people can be amazingly resilient. “Slumdog” was very true to life that way in reply to lskrocki #
- @briansolis re Dell, so much for the theory that Twitter is “only for seduction, never for sex.” ; ) in reply to briansolis #
- driving to work, “Chess” came up on my iPod shuffle (of ~10k songs). In my inbox an offer from Amazon for “Chess in Concert” DVD. Scary. #
- ooh, wow – Chess in Concert looks great (okay, I’m a musicals geek) – I ordered it. http://bit.ly/ZdjYS #
- seems unfair that anyone I follow is allowed to DM me, but I can’t DM them back unless they’re also following me. DM rights should be equal #

- starting to make noise about the Sun videos we’ve been translating – http://bit.ly/1mMLR #

- …and the very watery cup of coffee I just managed to brew is definitely not going to suffice #
- @italylogue @divinacucina I always liked Milan, too. But had to leave before the pollution killed me (literally). in reply to italylogue #
- RT @c0t0d0s0: just blogged: ISC’09 Student Event http://tinyurl.com/mp3h96 – Thanks! @templedf FYI #
- @sumaya what will it be and when? #SocialYou in reply to sumaya #
- @ThinGuy if they gave you a show, you would have to have an affair with your bodyguard in reply to ThinGuy #

- okay, so now I have http://www.facebook.com/deirdre.straughan – so what? #
- @MissExpatria never used GoDaddy, but have been mostly happy with DreamHost for years in reply to MissExpatria #
- I have so little influence over Google earnings on my site. Don’t have time to seek more direct ads, so far they find me. #
- I should buy a better camera for this trip but don’t really want to spend right now, and don’t have time to do the research. #
- @darrinschaos I have a point and shoot, plan to buy a DSLR later. I have to carry video equipment this trip anyway, so a big camera… nah in reply to darrinschaos #
- is Twitter search broken? Looking for the live tweets we did at #ohac, get no results. #
- hmm. Does Twitter search not have an archive beyond ten days? just-now tweet with #ohac shows up, dozens of tweets from May 31 do not. #
- mini bulldozer being used to spread dirt – job cd be done quietly, cheaply, without pollution using a wheelbarrow and a shovel! #
- @davest now I’m even sadder I can’t be there! in reply to davest #
- @stoweboyd @jeffreytaylor should dine with you and cool people. in reply to stoweboyd #

- Calacanis must be pissed: “his search engine, Malaho” http://bit.ly/9XW4A Thought the NYT had fact-checkers, or at least spell checkers. #
