Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes, Part 1.5

So, change number two in my life involves my role at TechTicker. I'm not going anywhere, so don't worry, all five of you who tune into the show for just for my tech news and interviews, eschewing Aaron and Henry's far more popular daily Bailout Nation missives. (Honest to God, the real victims of the credit meltdown are tech reporters! Oh, Facebook just exploded into a ball of fiery ashes? Yawn. WAIT! WHAT WAS MADOFF WEARING WHEN HE RIPPED EVERYONE OFF!?!?!?!?!?!?! Oh, I kid, I kid. And I digress...)

More on all the changes soon, but one thing I'm going to start doing is a daily text post on the buzz of the Valley, as collected through Twitter, conversations in line at Starbucks, and, of course, the blogosphere. If you're outside the Valley, think of it as a way to feel inside. If you're inside the Valley, think of it as a way to get some of that sweet Yahoo Finance traffic 'cause there will be a whole lot of linking going on.

Here's post one. Let me know thoughts and please read, pass on, comment, vote and all that business.
