More Twitter Fun

Adding the Twitter RSS feeds of my friends and family members to my feed reader, so I can catch up with them later if I miss something.

I’m really excited that my sister Stacy is now on Twitter – just hearing little updates from England at about a 7 hour time shift is really entertaining, and especially just hearing the little things she does around the house. I know it’s minutiae to anyone else, but I like having a little window into her day, because I don’t get to call or write her enough, and sometimes a sentence or two is the most valuable thing.

My girlfriend Stephanie is on Twitter, too, so now I also know what’s going on in the kitchen when I’m in the library. Although twittering from your laptop just to hear the Twitterific tweeting from mine is a bit over the top, honey.

My friend Dan just got on twitter, too, which I is how I found out he just got a new laptop. That’s cool; even though he lives a couple blocks away, I haven’t talked to him nearly enough lately. Dan, you need to add Stephanie and Matt to your friends list.

My friend Matt has been on Twitter for a while, but he just started updating recently.

My friend Jonathan has been on for awhile, too – now that more of our friends are on, maybe he’ll post more regularly.

Twitterific is a great little Macintosh program that lets you get (and make) your twitter updates without having to have the browser window open.
There does seem to be a couple of similar Window/PC programs that lets you do the same thing – Twitterlicious is one, and Twitbox is another. I’ve never used either, so I don’t know if they’re good or not.
Twittervision is a google map that lets you see where the latest twitter posts are from, all over the world. This morning when I got up, people were twittering in Hong Kong.

All the social networks I’m on. The list was getting too long to keep it on a sidebar anymore, so it’s getting its own dedicated page.

“You know You’re From Indiana” video podcast namechecks me

Years ago, I got one of those “you know you’re from Indiana when…” emails, and threw it on my site in the jokes section, because that was the style back in the day. When I was moving my static content into my content management system this time last year, I featured it on my front page for a bit.
Recently, a Hoosier YouTube enthusiast name-checked the page in her video critique of the email, and it’s rather funny…

I think we need to start introducing treats into the fetch game for Spike, as incentive to bring back the object. Right now, we’re playing with lamb, hippo, frog, and monkey, and the only one he’ll bring back is frog, because it’s his favorite. Hmmm. Positive reinforcement required.

David M Ewalt from Forbes on the subject of Twitter: “I’m not interested in what you had for breakfast.”
Yeah, I’m not interested in what you had for breakfast either. That’s why I don’t follow you on twitter, ass. I do care what my friends had for breakfast; therefore I follow them. I’m sorry you’re using twitter wrong, but that’s really not my problem, see? So STFU. Jesus.

Recent Fortune Cookies

From lunch today at Changs:
Your skills will accomplish what the force of many cannot.
Damn. I better get some skills quick. Seriously, though, this is one of the better fortunes I’ve ever received. Be neater if it were true.

From lunch last week at Changs:
Everywhere you choose to go, friendly faces will greet you.
I have nothing snarky to say about this one.

From quite a while ago:
Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his own reflection.
Yeah, I think my mom stuffed this fortune cookie.

You will always be surrounded by true friends.
Protecting me from the mob of people with pitchforks, I presume.
