@ChazFrench just exhaustion and staring at code too long. Cheaper than drugs, not as much fun. [banannie]— 10h ago via Twitter

@brendajos it's pretty far off, but definitely sounds like gunfire. [banannie]— 11h ago via Twitter

@kathrynjones no idea. I know it's mostly corporate types. If a client really pushed it I might make a plain-text version of a site! [banannie]— 12h ago via Twitter

@starmike I stopped designing anything for ie6 last year. Won't even look at how bad it is anymore. #screwIE6 #getarealbrowser [banannie]— 12h ago via Twitter

Twitter Effect (one of many)
I’ve recently begun to use the offline blogging tool MarsEdit. Hopefully the ability to compose & store my posts offline will encourage me to blog more often, and maybe improve the quality a bit
.
Earlier today I sat down to try to flesh out a few of the stubs I’ve started into post-worthy writings, but I’ve run into a bit of a road bump.
I’ve always been a ruthless self-editor. In the past typically I’d write a long and rambly post but then go back and edit the crap out of it until I reach a point where I feel like the interesting has overtaken the snore-worthy.
But today I found myself editing as I wrote. I don’t think I made it through a single sentence without going back through and rearranging, changing, shortening…
Aha. Shortening. Obviously the devil behind this annoying new habit is Twitter. I’ve become skilled in saying what I want to say in 140 characters or less, and it’s bleeding into my other writing.
This is not good. So starting with this post right here- I write then edit!
