To those who auto-post their Tumblr to Twitter: DON’T! Or make it fit in 140 characters. I hate constantly reading truncated … tweets! If this means putting titles on your Tumblr entries like bloggers figured out how to do ten years ago, so be it.
I’ve resorted to filtering out all tweets that include "…", but I worry I’m missing some of your important commentary, such as this.
Your Twitter friend :)

While receiving little in the way of tangible benefits, blogging has turned out to be a great way to speak my mind and ultimately to relax… perhaps this is the reason I post entries the most when I’m the most busy! Other times though, mean people ruin the fun.
Ladies and gentlemen there comes a time in a bloggers life where he must take the time to discuss something that may seem trivial at first but is in fact critical to the infrastructure of the net and ultimately to its very survival.

Usually I wouldn’t dignify the likes of The Australian with my readership, but someone on Twitter linked to this article by John Black about how us Greenies are destroying his party and figured it was work a look-see.

I want the car culture to fall down tomorrow, and I no longer care who knows it. I want the end of single-occupant vehicles, and the end of suburbs that force us to drive 30 or 40 miles to get to a job.
I wanted to add my voice to the chorus of discontented Mac users over the state of Steam for our platform with my own criticism:
Hey wait, even the Windows version doesn’t. Never mind.
There’s seems to be a lot of controversy flying (sorry, that’s a bad pun even by my standards) around the grounding of most of Europe’s aircraft fleet following the eruption of an unpronounceable volcano. Sheesh.
I know I’ve been saying this repeatedly for years now, but it seems just when Facebook does something interesting, they take two steps back in privacy in the same pen stroke. I’m saving my worrying out loud about Facebook’s new Like button for another post, this one has to do with (yet another!) disturbing policy change.
Am I the only one who gets a bit frustrated when I see a brand and either thing the company sells something else, or when the brand is so generic the company literally could be selling anything?

I also lurk on Twitter, Flickr, Google Reader and lots more places.
