Giz Wiz Meet-Up - A Reminder
Dick, Leo and Dane Golden will be at the San Francisco Jillian's Billiards at the Sony Metreon this evening for a meet-up with fans and friends, which will start at 6-ish.  Details in Dick's post.  Leo should have his MiFi with him, and so if you can't be there, check for their updates on Twitter (Leo's Twitter, Dick's Twitter).

Wine Train - Catching Up
Dick and Leo went gourmet-dining and wine-tasting on the Napa Wine Train yesterday, along with Jennifer and Abby.  As promised, Leo (presumably with the help of his Verizon MiFi) uploaded photos and videos from the Wine Train.  If you missed it yesterday, you can catch up here (you have to enable scripts from TweetReel to see the videos).

Dick is figuring out how to get on to the tiny Wine Train

Totting up at TD Bank
While Leo is rummaging through his mailbag for a letter to read, Dick steps in to read a letter from Doug from Stanhope, New Jersey.  In Episode 861, Dick talked about the surcharge imposed by banks for counting up your coins, and the better alternative of the Coinstar Machines. Doug wants to draw listeners' attention to the TD Bank (formerly Commerce Bank) in the New York/New Jersey area, whose branches will tot up your coins for free.

A Free Ride in a Tesla
Leo finally locates the letter he was going to read. Back in Episode 661 Darrell and Marilyn Holmquist from San Jose wrote to Dick, promising to give Dick and Leo a ride in their Tesla which was due to arrive in May or June this year.  Now the Tesla Roadster has arrived, and Dick and Leo can try it when Dick is in the area for the recording of Episode 900.  The test run has now been slotted for today (Tuesday US Pacific time), before Dick and Leo start this week's recording session.
