It’s been a busy week. This round-up of Twitter posts is a wee bit off its usual schedule. Due to volume, I’ve split them into two parts again.

Speaking of running late — a couple of weeks ago, I opened the mic and asked for your thoughts. I haven’t forgotten them. I’ll be responding to those, too. Soon. I hope. Fingers crossed.

Now for some Tweets from last week:

• @jbacardi - My fave weather saying, “What day is summer in Vermont?”

• Someone bought CompUSA and wants to keep retail stores in business. Why, was Bombay Furniture too expensive?

• New camera announced with up to 1600 shots PER SECOND. Ultra slo-mo! http://www.dpreview.com/news/0801/08010601casiof1.asp

• Amazon’s Gold Box finally started branching out on me today, including MST3K offers and Perl books, not just graphic novels and ASTERIX.

• I hope this format war death means a sudden drop in Blu Ray player prices. I want one now!

• @jbacardi - I can understand that feeling. I got the HDTV about 8 months ago. It’s 1080p and just screaming for a next gen DVD player.

• Moving into books on the Amazon Marketplace. Is frustrating when they don’t have a code for the one I want to sell. Might have to go eBay

• DANCE WAR deserves to get sued by AMERICAN IDOL for plagiarism.

• AMERICAN GLADIATORS is a ratings winner. When the ratings eventually slump, expect stunt casting: The return of Mike Adamle.

• Phrase I want to ban: “Let’s do this!” and its variant “Let’s do this thing!”

• No matter how much I thought I got done, it’s never enough.

• Perhaps not undeservedly, but it’s gang up on Ruby on Rails on the blogosphere this year, isn’t it? OUCH. I need to go learn PHP.

• I’d like to see Chuck Knoblauch throw out the ceremonial first pitch at an Old Timer’s Game and decapitate the first baseman

• Without a doubt, the Tweet of the day: http://twitter.com/JAFlanagan/statuses/581611282

• “AMMO24″ is the code you use to save 10% off your ammunition sales on Amazon. FYI. Now you know. [You find the most interesting things looking up coupon codes through Google. . . ]

• I hear rock songs now and think, “Green Green Red Red Yellow Yellow, GREEN/REDHOLDWHAMMYBAR!” Chorus.
