8 Year Blogiversary!

EIGHT YEARS.

What's the biggest change? Twitter. Twitter has changed everything. Twitter is easy. Twitter is quick. Twitter is short. Twitter is accessible. So many things have happened since I've been twittering, that I haven't been blogging. I started to integrate my tweets into the blog... but it was a manual effort and thus... a bit intensive. Did I keep it up? Well... no. Should I? Oh yes. Ideally, I would love to have that integration to be automatic. I think I can do that - with an update to MovableType (my blogging software). It's not like I don't have the time available... perhaps I just lack the motivation? Oh hell yes.

So... all I can say is that I'm going to TRY to keep things going... try. I've said it so many times before. I am saying it again. Perhaps I just can't give up on some things.

Shopping at Costco.. OK... it was just shopping for pretzels

Waiting in a doctor's office, watching Blagojevich's "Closing Argument"

Can't believe that today is the 42nd anniversary of the Apollo 1 tragedy

Governor Blagojevich has a publicist? And it's the same guy that Drew Peterson uses? This is crazy.

Just got out from seeing the movie "Defience"... A real story that I never heard about

Pre-show commercials before the movie starts... we're here to see "Defience"

Waiting for B&B at the movie theater

Wow! I made it over 100 followers on Twitter... just a boring mundane guy in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. THANK YOU to all who follow!

Grocery shopping at what we call the "big" Jewel (as opposed to the "little Jewel" that was closer to where we were)

We got over freezing temperatures last night! And now the temperatures are plumeting again

Obama do-over: Chief Justice re-administered the Presidential Oath tonight ... just to make sure there is no problem

It takes time from when I go into an exam room and the doctor showing up... you get bored in there and just have to do SOMETHING

110/80 ... NOT what I expected. There's this matter of this other number I found... that 214 one

Well, at least the doctor's office has free Wi-Fi... good signal, too. Had to try it out with a quick Qik streaming video.

Waiting for an appointment with my doctor... boring, isn't it?
