TypePad blogger Sheena Beaston is giving some lucky soul a rad new laptop*. If I were you I would head on over to her blog and bang out a comment. Just sayin.

Yann has a good list of To-do's for @jack now that he's back. If I may humbly add my own..

* Please, please PLEASE sync across all clients. At least all Twitter O&O clients. I am so tired of reading the same tweets 2 or 3 times. I access Twitter via the web, Android, iPhone and iPad

* Work it out with Facebook, eh? I want to Tweet and syndicate to FB and have that become a relevant Status Update. "@mgrooves" should become "Matt Graves." You can do it, Jack.

* Let's open up the Sidebar so we can show TypePad posts inline.
