NASA Live Tweetup Event with International Space Station (200910210002HQ), originally uploaded by nasa hq photo.

Today and tomorrow I’ll be here at Cape Canaveral, Fl at the first ever KSC hosted NASA Tweetup. I’ve already been to two out of three of the NASA HQ events (it’s helpful to live just across the river from DC) and am very excited about watching Space Shuttle mission STS-129 launch tomorrow.

You can play along from home if you like!

The UStream link for today’s broadcast of the Tweetup is:

The Twitter experiment was fun and lives on in the sidebar.  So, if you want to know what I’m up to, or be mystified by the latest inside joke and/or West Wing quote (a whole subset of inside joking), then look right.  Or, click over to the full on Twitter page to see what’s going on…

In the meantime if you have a strong opinion and really miss the daily digests, then, well, leave a comment, but even I was getting tired of seeing them so often.
