Late night tech?
by Hoyter on Mar.12, 2009, under Randomness, video
Finally, someone gets it. Im not sure if you have been following Late night with Jimmy Fallon, but it is incredible. I was already a pretty big fan of his nervous almost startled comedy, but am becoming a bigger fan of his new show. Not even on the air for two weeks yet and we already have Kevin (@KevinRose) and Alex (@alexalbrecht) from Diggnation and Joshua from Engadget. It appears that Geek cred is finally starting to leak out into the world.
Jimmy (@Jimmyfallon) has been using Twitter to reach out to his fans, promote show segments, and acquire interview questions for his guests. Last night (3-11-09) Jimmy with the help of Kevin, Alex, and Russell Brand used twitter to promote an audience member’s following and see how popular they can make him. Bryan Brinkman (@bryanbrinkman) was new to twitter and had around 7 followers. At 6pm EST. Tweets and reTweets started flowing asking for everyone to follow Bryan. I clicked the magic follow button around the 256 fan mark. Within minutes, I watched his count raise by several a second. Within an hour, the count rose to 7,000+ and the show had not even aired yet. This only goes to show the power of Twitter for connecting people. (Cue 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon) Qoolquest(@qoolquest), the drummer for the house band (The Roots). He even tweets while the show is taping.
As of this posting, Brian Brinkman has around 26,000 followers on Twitter.

The Dommites

So, last night ended up pretty well. The TN group of DOM got together for dinner and beverages. Presidents was a great way to end the night. I am happy that I finally got some photos of the group.

You have to love SomethingAwful.com You really do…
Clicky the photo for Classic scenes, remixed with a pinch of Lightsaber and a sprinkle of midichlorians mixed together with the power of THE FORCE.

Killing the daily feeds
by Hoyter on Mar.02, 2009, under My Feeds
Ill kill the enormous daily feed posts for a bit. This information is still available in the sidebar. It makes the site messy with the Wall-o-Text.
I am still working on a better mobile posting system. Something along the lines of a photo a day? Mayhaps.
And, in case you missed it…

There seems to be a failure in my feed posting logic. Looking into the double posting.
Update:
Appears to be an issue with Twitter Tools and Lifestream. Lifestream has an update that should resolve the issue. Also, If you Wordpress and Dont Lifestream, get it!
