Gigabit to the Pillow
Yesterday Leo talked about a few colleges which Abby might be joining, one of which is Scripps in California.  Its Director of Information Technology Jeffrey Sessler is one of the show’s listeners, and promptly writes to Leo.  If Abby joins Scripps, she will have a gigabit internet connection in her dorm room.

Dropping Out
Dick went to Columbia University for an evening course on TV production.  In the end he gave it up because he was learning the ropes working for Mark Goodson Productions 3 times a week during the day anyway.

Wildly Impressed
Dick introduced himself to Scott Monty of Ford at the New York Auto Show, as someone who works for TWiT and MAD. Scott was wildly impressed.  Speaking of Ford, Leo is thinking of trading in his “old” Mustang 2010 for the new Mustang 2011.

A Collaborative Letter
Two of the most loyal and communicative listeners, Dr Mark Sukoenig and Opher Banarie, have decided to collaborate on a letter to Dick.  The former wonders if Leo will sack Andy Ihnatko from the TWiT team for failing to disclose he had an iPad (which Leo will review tomorrow) before its public release date, while the latter wonders when the Nexus One will be available on Verizon.

A Telescope for your Phone
Rory from Dublin, Ireland, has the perfect gadget for TTTT.  Imagine what one could do if your phone had its own stand and a telescope.  It’s the Nexus One Telescope and Camera+Tripod Set, shipping from Hong Kong and available on eBay.  Leo goes where everyone else hesitates to go, and has ordered one for his Nexus One.  For other phones, try My Telescope Store.
