5:37:25 PM: Preemptive apologies for the next rapid-fire string of tweets about Baltimore…
5:39:27 PM: I visited the National Aquarium today. Cool place, and big. Not sure it was worth the $27.95 it cost to walk around and see a Dolphin show.
5:42:19 PM: The dolphin show at the Aquarium only cost $3 extra, so that was certainly worth the money.
5:44:05 PM: I also visited the USCGS Taney, a 1930s-era Coast Guard Cutter that is similar to the one my Dad served on in the 60s.
5:44:41 PM: It was quite cool to see a ship like the one my dad lived on for 4 years. 327 feet long, but that’s not much space for months at a time.
5:45:58 PM: The first time I tested Twitter LiveBlog, I got a bunch of new posts, not one post that updated with each tweet. Has anyone else seen that?
5:47:17 PM: If anyone is in Baltimore and wants to meet up for dinner with a Podcaster/Digital Media Strategist, get in touch. I’m here for #ssp09.
5:49:27 PM: The USCG Taney was worth the $10. Most ship museums I’ve been on require a guide, but here I was allowed to wander on my own.
5:49:49 PM: I was the only one on board the ship for most of the 90 min I was visiting. It was quite cool to have a 327-foot military ship to myself.
5:54:32 PM: This Twitter LiveBlog test would be a lot easier if the hotel wifi wasn’t flakey. Isn’t the Hilton Garden Inn supposed to be business-savvy?
5:57:58 PM: Twitter LiveBlog test so far: Only one post, and it updates (good), but it’s slow (not good). Tweets show up on the site 5+ minutes late.
6:02:59 PM: The lag in posts appearing might be due to the bad wifi I’m on. Hilton says they’re working on it, but can’t answer “hours or days?” Really?
6:05:11 PM: If anyone wants to see the Twitter LiveBlog output, check here:
