Yes. I twitter.
You may be thinking that I know nothing about the current trends in popular culture. Well, I do know a thing or three.
As you well know, I blog (a little). And now I twitter or tweet or whatever the verb is this week.
Yes, I tw. . . You know. The site. Twitter.com. You go there, you sign up and you type. Mostly nonsense blather about random things. It isn't profound (normally). But it is cute (like a week old puppy) and it is addictive (like crack cocaine).
There are some cool people on there that you can "follow". That's what they call it when you read a certain persons entire list of tweets. There are even a few celebrities on there. Some are real, some are fake. Some are both.
Some people tweet for hours and hours and some people tweet maybe twice a day or a week or a month. Some are funny. Some are stupid and some are boooring.
What twitter is mostly good for is to remind you that, "Yes, of course, there are people just like you out there, who, have, either an attention span of 3 seconds or no where to go and nothing else to do for large pieces of the day." (Unfortunately several dozens of these people may be government officials. Sigh.)
Along with twitter is a brand new thing called Blip. I don't know if you actually blip or if that's just the name of the site and the word on the link, but it's sort of cool. (While it lasts. And trust me I don't expect it to last long.) I link to it if you'll notice the new link to the right.
Yes. A year. I know.
Big surprise. Well, guess what. After April or May, it may be another few months before I do this again, if then. Something is coming up in July. I will probably have no access to the internet for a month or more. I might drop my site all together between now and then. I might not. I'm not sure. Until then, I will try to write something here every day. You can all wish me luck. Thank you.
