Holy Kaw! All the topics that interest us

My best Twitter story yet

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! ;)

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
