watching Fringe on fox.com #
fox.com’s video player has IMHO the best full-screen video quality. Hulu can be good, but always slower to load – abc ok, NBC horrible #
going around trying to find more interesting peeps to follow. any recommendations? #
need. more. bandwidth. somebody. please. help. me. #
I love it when someone tweets about something and I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what they are talking about #
would really like to go see a movie tonight, although doesn’t look like that is going to happen #
unfortunately not going to BIL Conference this weekend – have to prepare for Santa Barbara Twestival and many other things #
working on a presentation for a webinar I’m giving at the end of the month on future online marketing strategies #
this week we relaunched the City of Arlington’s commercial property search site with our newest mapping technology http://tinyurl.com/d3gkyv #
wow, Alexa has Hulu as the #55 most visited site in the US. Pretty impressive. #
followed some new people today – I think I’m going to creep up to following 600-700 people #
now following @ElizabethB @behoff @senatorgrant @dannysullivan hi all! #
rt: @zoomprospector Surprise, AZ had the highest job growth rate 283.8% of cities in the USA of <50K from 2000-08 http://tinyurl.com/csaux4 #
not sure why, but I’m feeling more productive today than usual – maybe it’s the rain? have already gotten a lot done and it’s not lunch yet #
if you’re in Santa Barbara please follow and attend @sbtwestival! Hope to see you all there one week from today – free entry! #
working on SEO – if anyone knows of any kickass articles about how to programmatically improve SEO, please reply with links! #
Amelio will no longer be CEO of Lenovo – they should have never tried to be Dell in the first place http://tinyurl.com/d9nfm2 #
the AP suing Shepard Fairey for his Obama poster is insane. this should be the definition of fair use http://tinyurl.com/cqp29q #
pouring cats and dogs here in Santa Barbara. No one can complain though – California is in the worst sustained drought maybe ever #

There are a lot of people on Twitter that I follow that I never see anything from in my stream – what’s the point of following? #
Boras/Manny turned down $25M for one year from the Dodgers – have to say I would too – someone will give him 3 years I bet for $60M #
cramming about 3 days of work into 1 day of uber-work. always fun. #

Gary Collins got arrested in Santa Barbara today for a DUI apparently – can’t say I really care #
back from 3 hours of tennis. don’t know what I did but for the first time in a year my elbow didn’t hurt. pain free is so much more fun #
going to wrap up here and then play some tennis. will need to do some work for @SBTwestival later tonight #
paid a lot of bills today – ouch. #
OH on hold: “you will hear music until your call is answered” wow, what an amazingly creative idea to play music while I’m on hold #
taking a 15 minute break to pay bills – can you think of anything more relaxing? #
really hope this headache goes away soon #
We re-launched our property search site for the City of Arlington today with our newest interface – http://www.ArlingtoniSites.com #
after watching the Federer/Nadal match Sat night I’m really looking forward to bashing around some tennis balls tonight in mixed doubles #
also organizing @sbtwestival – if you’re on the Central Coast of California, this will be the Twestival to go to! #
doing a ton of research this week – don’t be surprised if I throw out some random questions over the course of the next few days #
ZoomProspector is considering sponsorships for #sxsw! Follow and message @zoomprospector and we can discuss! #
I’m hanging out at Goleta #

if you’re in Santa Barbara, please follow @sbtwestival and/or me for updates and info for the event #
thinking about all the things that are going to happen over the next few weeks, and really I don’t know where the time will come from #
one of these days I’m going to have to make a real decision about how much sleep I’m willing to miss, and what’s good for the old body #
rt: just about everyone I’m following on twitter that’s watching the game: OMG #
guess it’s a good thing I started to tune in with 5 minutes left, huh? #
I’m hanging out at Goleta #
any good streams of the Super Bowl going on? Guess since I’m sitting on the couch now with my laptop I might as well watch for a few minutes #
back from a fun afternoon of antique shopping with the family. found some cool stuff #
Much nicer than the #superbowl – Photo: http://bkite.com/04fQN #
Recession hitting beach town in CA? – Photo: http://bkite.com/04fHx #
I’m hanging out at Carpinteria #
getting ready to go out to the beach. Skipping the #superbowl altogether #
wow, amazing 3rd set. guess it’s not going to be Federer in 4 after all #
two great games in a row by Nadal – if he can stay standing the momentum seems to be with him #
some great shots in that game. Nadal’s passing shot was amazing. That said, I still think Federer has the momentum (and the crowd) #
Nadal is holding tough, but it’s almost painful to see how tired he is. Federer looks rested and cool as ice. #
one set apiece now in the Aussie Open men’s final – Nadal looks tired #
thanks all for the Aussie Open streaming info! #
anyone know of any live streams of the Federer/Nadal match? #
just signed my father up for twitter but he doesn’t know it yet (since it is 4:30am where he is) #
I’m hanging out at Goleta #
sent @twitter a request to change username and they responded that they are putting a hold on it for now – too many requests #

one subtle thing that I like about Hulu is that unlike many other players (fox.com for instance) it doesn’t autoplay. #
Beijing’s Bird’s Nest apparently not doing so well – who would have thunk it? http://tinyurl.com/dakkmf #
anyone know if the Aussie Open is streaming live online anywhere? Oz peeps please help out! #
first time Federer and Nadal have met in the finals of a either the Aussie or US Opens (i.e. hardcourt). Federer in 4 sets. #
pretty sure I won’t be watching the super bowl tomorrow, when I can only name the QBs and not even the coaches, I know I’m really don’t care #
I certainly got some more color today with the moon roof open all the way down the down the coast. just a gorgeous day for a drive #
lots of peeps this week said I should update my avatar because I don’t look exactly the same – but this pic was taken in October! #
going to have to spend some time fixing up the Santa Barbara Twestival site tomorrow. this is going to be a tight 12 days to get this ready #

I feel like having breakfast in a diner. I never eat breakfast, so its a weird craving #
has anyone made the corporate switch from Sprint/Palm to AT&T/iPhone? were you able to get a competitive price? #
good morning SF, on the 47 heading to the office. not going to be much twittering today – all day meetings #
