LeoLaporte: @SarahLane & @MartinSargent are at it again. Http://live.twit.tv
LeoLaporte: @jimmcslim Loving the Dell Studio 16. Super hires display (got the RGBLED) more features (and more plastic) than MacBook Pro for less money.
LeoLaporte: I guess I know what the number one topic will be on the radio show today.
LeoLaporte: RT @DrPhil: "DrPhil Having trouble coping with life's demands? Dr. Phil's test can help evaluate your stress..." Social media fail. Block.
LeoLaporte: @LastChance No kidding. SMS messages cost $1500/MB. http://bit.ly/2USkHe - talk about windfall profits!
LeoLaporte: @doug_hilton Atlas Shrugged! Of course - that would be 50 hours. It's 1000 pages of blather. I ♥ Dagny Taggart.

LeoLaporte: @chrissnipes If you're an Audible member, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is free at http://audible.com/twithabits Enjoy!
LeoLaporte: @WardLabs Some leads come in the door. But for the most part we rely on Podtrac for finding sponsors for TWiT. They've been fantastic.
LeoLaporte: @PodcastJunky Yup. Fee based works only for a few. TWiT is ad & donation suported and thriving. You do need aggregation for ads to work, tho
LeoLaporte: @sarno Tweetdeck takes up too much desktop space for me. I do like groups and built-in search though.
LeoLaporte: @stevejk Gee I don't know - Windows 7 seems to work with everything I throw at it. I think it's done now.
LeoLaporte: @trillianastra Hook a brutha up. Long time Trillian Pro user looking for best Windows multi-server IM client. Beta request sent. thx!

LeoLaporte: @debicha1979 I got the RGBLED LCD 1920x1080 screen on the Studio 16 plus BD drive - perfect for watching BluRay movies.
LeoLaporte: Oh and the Sony is $600 more but weighs less than 3 pounds.
LeoLaporte: @euan I don't think we're ready for that! :-) I'm mad though because I forgot to uncheck the "Made on an Apple" box. Free ad. How festive.
LeoLaporte: All the CES coverage sounds the same: "the N3-78 from Convair features 60 watt fringe charging with heads-up TZL monitoring." Who cares?
LeoLaporte: And Kevin Capwell sent us two delish Danish Kugel from Wisconsin. It's Christmas all over again. Looks like I picked a bad year to diet.

leolaporte: Oh. So it was a leap year bug. The 30GB Zunes will start working again tomorrow. http://is.gd/ejCF
LeoLaporte: I would just like to point out in my defense that I am, myself, a Zune owner. But then I also own a Newton.
LeoLaporte: @grinthock That's a great Hey, Animoto - give me a coupon code Ican hand out! You'd do it for KRose, right?
LeoLaporte: @rickm1350 My 4GB Zune 2 is fine - I think it's only 30GB units
LeoLaporte: Henry and I are about to board the plane for home. Jennifer has to stay til Tuesday to get new passport. I miss Abby already. :-(
leolaporte: Jennifer said the Macbook Pro wanted to be upside down. I pulled the battery, tapped the touchpad, and it works. She's an intuitive genius!
leolaporte: @gardenwife Thanks so much! I am always looking for a better way to cook a turkey. (Using the Best Recipes technique for now.)
leolaporte: @RobertJGates I wouldn't abandon Nikon for it. The D3 is amazing. Even better low light, faster motorwind, better auto-focus.
leolaporte: @mwgray There's are two folders at http://leolaporte.smugmug.com. 'Petaluma' contains the JPEGs and MOV, RAW contains the 'DNGs.'
leolaporte: @theatremonkey We were talking about the House of Prime Rib in San Francisco. A must visit for beef lovers. We'll be there during Macworld.
leolaporte: @razz2 I hung the 5D with the 70-200mm f2.8 from the Blackrapid RS-1. It's heavy but comfortable, secure, and convenient. Recommended.
leolaporte: @schwerd I used https://twitter2ff.appspot.com/ to add Twitter buds who are also on Friendfeed.
leolaporte: @razz2 It was a gift. Tony gave me the RS-1 actually.

leolaporte: Ahhh. Monday. The one day of the week I can ignore tech news. Our TWiT family picture is this afternoon. Our holiday party is tonight.
leolaporte: @CharlesGeorge Nope. Reciva.com is free. The radio is $200 - no additional fees. Bye bye satellite radio and shortwave.
leolaporte: I'm LOVING this Wi-Fi Radio. I can add podcasts to Reciva.com and they show up. TWiT Live, too. And 14,000 other stations. http://tr.im/14om
leolaporte: I need your help. I'm supposed to do a keynote at MacWorld in January and I have no what to talk about. What would you like to hear? ✍
leolaporte: I ♥ Foxmarks. http://foxmarks.com Just another reason to use Firefox everywhere.

leolaporte: Just got the new Godfather BluRay restoration. Jennifer's leaving for Mexico tomorrow. I'm spending Saturday night with the "Family."
leolaporte: a whole day off - I hardly know what to do
leolaporte: I should have told Apple, "drat I can't make it in tomorrow. I'm doing my national radio show then." Frak.
leolaporte: New MacBook Pro DOA. Apple store won't exchange it without the box. That's my afternoon shot. Stoopid Apple store.
leolaporte: @socialmedian Well done, #jasongoldberg. I think you have the potential to become my #1 choice for news browsing. So... http://bit.ly/9eBmH
leolaporte: @wesleyj http://allvoices.com - citizen journalism done right.
leolaporte: McCain has a secret plan to get Bin-Laden. Really?
leolaporte: Obama is strong, statesman-like, and focused. McCain is scattered, hunched, stuttering. It's over. Palin would do better at this point.
leolaporte: I think the audience is too scared of Brokaw to laugh.
leolaporte: @alexmiller Yeah I got slaughtered with SMS messages too. I killed the Army notice cache, but they were queued elsewhere - probably AT&T.
leolaporte: Tonight on this WEEK in TECH: John C. Dvorak, Patrick Norton, and Veronica Belmont. Then: In the Aftermath of Bearhug with Steve Gillmor.
leolaporte: Did she say "Senator O'Biden?"
leolaporte: @rob356 I've moved the icecast stream to its final location: http://twit.am/live - port 80 or 8000. You'll need an icecast compatible player
leolaporte: Testing an icecast server for TWiT Live Radio. Works on the iPhone (with Nullriver Tuner), iTunes, Winamp. Give it a try: http://is.gd/3hN0
leolaporte: McCain started off strong and folksy - but seems to have lost his way in the weed.
leolaporte: I guess there's something wrong with Security Now. Everyone's gone home for the night, but I'll fix it in the morning. Sorry about that!
leolaporte: About to do Coast to Coast with George Noory. Apparently the Internet is "running out of names."
leolaporte: @Darth_Emma http://drobo.com/macbreak - $25 off either version of Drobo. (We don't get paid by the purchase, but the traffic reassures em!)
leolaporte: Erggh. The RAID 5 array died on the server for TWiT.tv and Leoville.com - sites will be down for a while.
leolaporte: @RickMacMerc Don't make me cry, Rick.
leolaporte: Sometimes I despair for our democracy.
leolaporte: @submooringtone I think that's definitely going on for some. When you get hundreds of people in a chat there are all sorts of undercurrents.
leolaporte: TWiT Army has its own Twhirl now: http://is.gd/2wPH - ok it works with any Laconica site, too. Thanks Loic and Marco!

leolaporte: via TWiT Army: (psst don't tell anyone, but I like TWiT Army SO much better than #twitter, #pownce, #jaiku, #plurk, #rejaws, etc etc.)
leolaporte: @darkbulb Besides, the TWiT Army has helmets. http://army.twit.tv
leolaporte: Woops. I screwed up the Laconica server already. There's some PHP weirdness We're moving it to http://army.twit.tv anyway. Back soon.

leolaporte: Interesting. Apparently some people will follow me as long as I don't update. Is the secret to Twitter success not to say anything at all?
leolaporte: @heyheyitsdavid We're doing TWiT Live from the show floor at Podcast Expo (NME) tomorrow and Friday. Stop by or watch http://twitlive.tv !
leolaporte: I wish more people were using Vesus Chess on the iPhone. Fun online speed chess with ratings. Real human opponents rock: http://is.gd/1nXz
leolaporte: AT&T just agreed to reduce our bill for satellite calls to @rozsavage by 80% - saving TWiT about $8000. Thank you SO much, Chris!
leolaporte: @Veronica Hey don't worry. I'm not doing it either. Kevin and GaryVee are going to look pretty silly as the only guys with shaved heads.
leolaporte: @Veronica C'mon - don't you like the Sinead O'Connor look?
leolaporte: @darutter I love the iPhone but without Flash you can't watch TWiT Live, and without video you can't send q's. And where's the podcatcher?
