Pimp me out on Twitter, Win an iTunes Gift Card

I’m in the mood to meet more friends on Twitter. So, I decided to make it a little more fun. Here’s how it works: Everyone who adds me or promotes my page somehow via Twitter today (November 19th, 2007 *see update below, we’re doing it again today - the 20th) will get dropped in to a random drawing for a $25 iTunes Gift Card. I’m more curious than anything as to how fast information can travel through Twitter and what-not. Call it a social media experiment or something. I have no idea what will happen, but… BRING IT ON! (haha)

Here’s a tip: Want to meet new Twitter friends too? “track iboughtamac” and see what I see today.

Another tip: Use TwitterSearch to find the tweets if you can’t use “track”

*Update: I pulled Justine’s tweet out of the hat this morning so she won. Let’s do it all again today!

Show me the ideas…

Today, my goal is to begin the process by picking up some cheap lights and some sort of backdrop. Then I will build some foam boards for sound control (I already have the foam, I just need the boards). I have mics and most the equipment I need to make the show and I’ll log it all to the site here so you can see what I’m doing to build the set, etc…

Here’s where you come in… I need ideas like mad. I think I’m gonna open up the iBAM discussion board bbPress module so you can submit ideas and we can all discuss ideas for the show. I’m willing to take this as far as you are willing to participate so let’s start here with some comments for your thoughts and ideas and we’ll grow from there. iBAM has always been about the community, so I need your 2 cents!

I’m pretty stoked about the show idea, I’ll keep you posted on my progress. We’ll see what comes out.

Troubleshooting Sticky Keys & Mouse Keys

Fellow iBAM’er Jeff sent me an email recently and I thought it fitting to throw it on the table here to see if you guys can help find his solution. Here’s his email:

I bought the new Imac 20inch desktop, the 1st Apple I ever owned… Problem I have is a bit unknown possibly to most because I’m a disabled person that uses [Universal Access] “Sticky Keys” & “mousekeys” for my mouse over on the Numeric keypad to navigate and Click — and always before on [Windows] the [double click key] was the key — right of the [ 6 ] key which is [ + ] on Windows & Mac, left click key is Always the [ 5 ] key on the Numeric Keypad, Right click is [control] + [ 5 ] keys …when I click the [ + ] (double click) it opens up the Spotlight Search? …using Fire Fox browser clicking it brings up status bar [Find]?

I’ve searched and read anything and everything I could find, My problem remains unsolved,
I hope you can help me and other disabled persons that may have the same problem as I,

Respectively

As always, thanks to all in advance
