No show this Wednesday; I will be participating in a local event called Ignite Minneapolis (@ignitempls on Twitter). It’s a series of speed presentations where we get 5 minute and 20 Powerpoint slides to share an idea that leans towards “geeky”. The event will have free beer (yum, I love Guinness). Thanks Erica (@swirlspice on Twitter) for the heads up on the Ignite Event!

Friday’s show, I took my shirt off. It went good and helped raise awareness about technology t-shirts for woment that fit. My sponsor promptly responded and said women’s shirts will be available next week!

Thanks @Chuckumentary for producting an AWESOME video for my contest submission to, MyCoopRocks. I was extremely impressed with the final video cut and thank you for taking the time to meet with me and make this a reality. We’ll find out May 8th, 2009 what the judges thought. Thank you everyone who voted for me, retweeted my video and left comments!

Thanks to @EdbockStock for the link to WesPhoto

Great chat with @nukirk this weekend

Worked on @Velorr’s computer to evaluate what was going on with it last week. It looks like a problem with Internet Explorer could be affecting the operating system.

Congratulations to @s0l_UK for being elevated to chat moderator

Oprah on Twitter

Why I like Oprah Winfrey

How she gives back
She’s focused on helping other folks

I don’t know much about Oprah and her use of technology

Oprah has overcome hard things in her life

What “A fan of Oprah” means to me

Time for The Wall of Heroes!

Miep Gies
Russell Simmons
Dr. Maya Angelou
Mahatma Ghandi
Harriet Tubman
Dr. Martin Luther King
Marin Peplinski
LL Cool J
Next heroes to add? Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry

CNN and Aston Kutcher were racing to be the first to get 1 million followers on Twitter

People on Twitter playing out old behaviours of “Us vs Them” for new folks coming to Twitter from Oprah’s show

Some Twitter folks created a Twitter hashtag #herebeforeoprah

Some Twitterfolks fired back with #hereafteroprah

Receiving the cold shoulder to new Twitter users is like what kids worry about on the first day of school

I want to be a beacon in the night and say, “Welcome to Twitter”

Why @Oprah shouldn’t be on Twitter

Why famous people shouldn’t be on Twitter

Why people who watch Oprah shouldn’t be on Twitter

Does Oprah influence women’s relationships with men in a negative way?

From the Chat

Reality shows

Rough Science was a reality television show about 5 scientists that had to solve a variety of problems like mining for gold, creating a scale, a waterproof tent, a metal detector

The purpose of talk shows – raise awareness on issues

Why it’s important to offer help to other people – Adria’s lawnmower analogy

Am I a Chimera or Mosaic because my earlobes are different?

How I deal with drivers who don’t want to let me merge
