My best Twitter story yet

For everything that's slightly less than a blog post but slightly more than a tweet

September 29, 2008

Holy kaw! Within an hour of putting out a distress signal that I needed a Macbook power supply at 10:15 pm on Coronado Island, the Twitter community got me one. This is Jerry Jones (@jetskier79). I’m holding his power supply. He’s holding the first copy of Reality Check that any reader has in the world!

Thanks Jerry! And thanks also to @jimmyhendricks, dave_blogworld, @JoeLeo, @wizardElite, @nicefishfilms, and @groovybrent who were all ready to help me out too.

Woot! Now just remember *not* to take it with you if they force you to parachute to the carrier from the copter...
Chargers + sea water = bad! ;)

Darn. If I send you some Big Island Candies chocolate-dipped shortbread cookies, can I get a book? XXOO

That's a big looking book Guy - have you taken to printing in 30 point font as per your Powerpoint advice? ;)

Twitter is quite amazing. :)

@kwr221 said...

so, did you get to keep the power cord, or did you return it?

I wanted to bring a power cable to you, but Cape Town was just too far away to get it to you on time. Sorry

Holy Kaw! (as in "Holy Cow!")
