A new take on the Fail Whale?
I have not read it so I’m not recommending this book- but LOVE the title…
We the Tweeple
People don’t get Twitter. No, I know you do, I’m talking about those other people. The ones who look at me like this O_o (see what I did there?) when I say I’ve been using Twitter regularly for over two years. The ones who say “Who cares what I’m doing and why should I care [...]
Mostly web geek stuff
Unbelievable how busy I am all of a sudden. Remember last summer when I was worried because I had no active clients for almost 2 months? Ha, those were the days… I expected today to be a fun one down in Philly, we had luxury box tickets for the Mets v Phillies game, but alas, [...]
Twitter Won’t Make You Rich…
Yesterday I met a bunch of local people who use Twitter. I already know a bunch of local people who use Twitter, but these were (mostly) new to me. Was fun meeting them all! The first thing that struck me was that there was an agenda! And a scheduled speaker! Usually we just pull out [...]
A Lesson Learned Via Server Logs & Twitter
Last night I was going through my server logs for Pixel Currents, curious to see who was visiting the site and how they found it. I noticed a few people had clicked through from a couple twitter accounts belonging to people I don’t know, so of course I headed over to Twitter to see what [...]
Tweeting Obama’s Speech
As we celebrated the Inauguration of President Obama (love typing that…) yesterday I, of course, was hanging out on Twitter. During his speech I was moved a couple times to grab a quote and post it. “restore science to it’s rightful place” WOOO! and “our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness.” I quickly [...]
Human Touch
I’m not sure what the final numbers are, but a whole mess of people got together this weekend just to hang out in a basement in Milwaukee. They came from California, Arizona, Connecticut, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, and even England. They flew to one of the coldest places in the USA just to hang out. [...]
The week that was
Been a busy week! Lots I’d love to write about, but instead I’m cleaning the house and gathering ingredients for Thanksgiving, while also baking cookies to bring to a party tonight. So rather than in depth blog posts about all these things, I’ll just give a quick run-down. Saturday I headed into Brooklyn with friends [...]
Moms rally around an important cause!
Moms and mom supporters on Twitter and on tens and maybe hundreds of blogs have registered outrage at a Motrin ad that is, yes indeed, pretty offensive to moms who chose to use baby carriers (slings, Baby Bjorn). The gist is that carrying your baby hurts your back and it’s just a status symbol, but [...]
Central NJ Tweetup
Had a great time last night, as much fun as one can have in a Panera Bread I suspect, at the Central NJ Tweetup organized by Sean. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, if you have a chance to meet online friends in real life, do it! Tomorrow I head into Brooklyn [...]
A geeky Sunday at home
I’ve spent the day working on some personal projects, while I have some time before I dig into some new client work this week. The big one is Basement Vinyl, as I mentioned the other day. Don’t go running over, there’s still not much there to see, but I got a lot done under the [...]
We all come home- to Twitter
We early adopters are an interesting bunch. We travel en masse from micro-blogging site to micro-blogging site. We grab our usernames. We test the features. We hope that maybe This Will Be The One. Sometimes we fill them with our content broadcast with Ping.fm, which lets you send one message to over twenty social networks, [...]
@MarsPhoenix: the opposite of spam
The NY Times has a story today about a Twitter account set up by NASA. The account reads like first person messages from the the Phoenix Lander which safely arrived on Mars earlier this week. (The human behind the account is Veronica McGregor, news services manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena CA.) I [...]
What’s your favorite Beatles song?
This morning I posted to Twitter Good morning, tweeties! playing a little Beatles to get moving- Good Day Sunshine. and then I asked So, what’s your favorite Beatles song? Then I went into Seesmic and posted the same question. Which lead to a long, fun conversation there (click view thread if you only see one [...]
I’m going to Twisney World!
Some of you may know I’m a big Walt Disney World geek. I’ve been distracted by other thing lately but WDW remains one of my favorite places on earth, and it’s the connection I have with a number of you reading this. Today I discovered a site that mashes together my love of WDW with [...]
