  • Goodby from Sundee in Kansas. See you beneath sunrise and a little bit left. #
  • @jdschultz Isn’t every episode of TWiT the Twitter episode? Two eps ago Leo left Dvorak off so they could talk about nothing but Twitter. in reply to jdschultz #
  • I saw a new Mazda yesterday. Who does that? I didn’t even know that was an option…thought you could only just buy them used. #

  • Social Media Optimization – A depressingly worse concept than search engine optimization snake oil. #
  • @dreamnotoftoday Search engines are important; there is a snake-oil industry built around SEO that can be a waste of money if not done right in reply to dreamnotoftoday #

  • Samsung BD-P1200 is the worst Blu-ray player made by someone other than Sony. #

  • Thanks, NPR, for the spoiler regarding Kutner’s death on Monday’s episode of House. I guess that’s what I get for using automated DVR. #

  • I’m definitely thinking that the Seesmic Desktop is better than TweetDeck. That’s my professional opinion after 90 seconds of testing. #
  • @jdschultz Twitterfall == good browser client. I’m using the new Tweetdeck and Seesmic. Seesmic is prettier, Tweetdeck still more powerful. #
  • There should be a toggle on my TwitScoop to turn off stuff about foreign sports. I thought “Chelsea” was about Chelsea Handler. #
  • Someone should merge the Speed Dial and Xmarks plugins on Firefox so my speed dials are synchronized between my computers. #
  • @dreamnotoftoday That’s what I learned. I still hold that they’re probably not as funny as Chelsea Handler. in reply to dreamnotoftoday #
  • @jdschultz Worthy goal; I love my Eee. When I’m in the office, though, it’s silly for me to use a netbook or webapps because they’re so slow in reply to jdschultz #
  • @HartkeRecords Picture or it didn’t happen. in reply to HartkeRecords #
  • @jdschultz I have the 901 – fastest 9″ model, Bluetooth and 802.11n. If you want a 10″ for the bigger keyboard, get the 1000HE. in reply to jdschultz #
  • @jdschultz I installed Ubuntu Linux on my Eee the first time I turned it on. It’s glorious. You’ll want the kernel from array.org in reply to jdschultz #
  • Tweetdeck keeps making noise every few minutes about Facebook, though there aren’t new updates. Any way to stop that? #
  • Finished round of ignoring and blocking applications on Facebook. Again: I’m not a Facebook apps whore & don’t want to follow your business. #
  • @brandonhowe But are you getting notifications without actual updates? I am. in reply to brandonhowe #
  • @dreamnotoftoday You liking it? Will it actually enhance productivity like Compiz-Fusion or is it just a cute, show-off util? in reply to dreamnotoftoday #
  • @jdschultz I’ve done several installs of Ubuntu on different Eee PCs…if you get one, let me know. There are some tricks I’d love to share. in reply to jdschultz #
  • @dreamnotoftoday That was my impression from the screenshots. Let me know if you give it a thumbs up, else I won’t bother with it. in reply to dreamnotoftoday #

Landed and loaded in to the gig in St. Louis
Drove through scattered rain
Listened to podcasts the whole way
Skeptoid and the Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe
Going to be a tough show
Visiting my sister and brother in law
Both our families together for Easter
Far from home

Here’s a juicy nugget for those of you who don’t get Twitter or think it’s too long…

Wichita, Kansas

Written by | Posted on

Played for the first time in Wichita Saturday
Sat in with the Lucas Maddy Experience
The L is a desert eagle in the logo

We opened for Mike McClure Band
It was their sixth anniversary
Hard to believe it’s been so long since the Great Divide
They played a very nostalgic set
Out in the Fields and Skies are Turning Red
Haven’t heard those in years

Last night we watched Role Models
Erica, Emily, Diane and I did
Cute movie, nearly an hour of deleted scenes
Loving the Blu-Ray while they still make the discs for it

I’m getting ready to start loading
Pick-up game tonight
I’ll be playing the white bass
Through a keyboard amp

Mason bought a new hi-hat
At the auction last night
I bought an air compressor
It’s bigger in the picture than it is when it holds your papers on your desk

I pulled the twitter posts from the main calendar. I found that I was using them as a crutch, relying on them to be content updates. I’m going to see how often I write when I can’t rely on the aggregation of the microblogs.

I launched a new website this last weekend called AuctioneerTweet. It aggregates all the auctioneers on Twitter into one, central place. I also created some commotion with my April Fools release of “AuctioneerTool“, a fictional, open-source auction software and bidding system.

I can hear the highway calling
It’s saying, hey dumbass
Drive three hours to play bass
Because you’re good at it…really…you are…

Come see the Lucas Maddy Experience tonight at the Cocky Fox in Kingman. It’s a nice, family restaurant.
