  1. RT @duanewilliams: "Well done?" Well done wd be Apple approving app in 1st place! [No, "well done" to my Twitter gang for pressuring Apple!]
  2. RT @hansderidder: @pogue When can we stop sending weather reports? [DP sez: LOL! You can stop now! My talk ended 5 hours ago. :) Thanks!]
  3. Remember Apple's silly rejection of this app? http://bit.ly/3gzYgT Apple has changed its mind, just as I'd hoped/predicted. Well done! :)
  4. This is amazing: http://bit.ly/3j6hKb First, because Twitter is so global. Second, because it seems to be raining almost everywhere at once!
  5. RT @h1ro: I'm in the south of england and it's pissing down. we're used to the sort of thing. we don't believe in the sun here. [LOL!]
  6. RT @jccosta: I'm in Barbados , W.I. 86 degrees with sun and occasional showers. [DP sez: HEY, NO FAIR! Rest of the world: cold, rainy!]
  7. Hey, if you're willing, for my Tiwtter demo: Where are you, and what's the weather there?
  8. I'm at the Westport, CT public library, about to give a funny Twitter talk. Come on down! (I start in 4 minutes. Hurry up.)
  9. Nytpick.com posts an attack on me--then refuses to post my reply. For shame! If you can't stand the heat, don't permit comments!
  10. Mad Magazine still cracks me up after 35 years...In latest issue, a fake ad for a movie about Bernie Madoff called-- "Scumbag Billionaire"!
  11. Hey, I'm keynoting Interop NYC on Tuesday ( http://bit.ly/cFQwh). Come on by! (Or track it on Twitter: tag is #interop.)
  12. @donohoe I know--problem is, that post is also sent out as a plain-text email newsletter, where long URLs are horrible...
  13. "Can you gouge me now?" Yet another Verizon money-grubbing trick in my post today: http://bit.ly/2OpEBv
  14. Very good explanation of HDR photography: http://bit.ly/2RbSC9
  15. My review of the amazing Canon S90 and Lumix GF1 is online: http://bit.ly/1PptZE (Hint: If you want b4 Christmas, order it now. Shortages!)
  16. RT @magicspark: Slate brought up Google Suggest last week, which may have inspired some: http://bit.ly/4qaQn6
  17. Even more funny Google Suggest items (who knew? this is already a cult item?) http://bit.ly/Lhj1e
  18. RT @emisicka: @Pogue Wow, can't even give the fail blog a lil credit? [I didn't know it, but yes, failblog.org had the Google thing first!]
  19. RT @AroundTheWWW: Try "Why is" or "What are" in the Google search box. [LOL!! More auto-suggestion insanity!]
  20. When Google Suggestions go horribly wrong: Try this. Go to Google. In the box, type "why won't." Look at the pop-up suggestions. Hello!?
